Updated: July 6, 2015 at 6:02 pm
Sunday Night’s Results:
8th-LRC, $46,000, Alw (NW1$X)/Opt. Clm ($40,000), 7-5, 3yo/up, f/m, 6f, 1:08.26, ft.
SUPER MAJESTY (f, 3, Super Saver–Gins Majesty {GSW, $210,431}, by Go for Gin) earned ‘TDN Rising Star’ status after a dominant 6 1/4-length score as the 3-5 choice in her six-panel debut at Santa Anita May 24, and showed more of the same Sunday evening at Los Alamitos. Bet down to 2-5 favoritism, the bay was away from the gate a step slow but quickly advanced to track the pace from the three-path through a quarter-mile in :21.56. Super Majesty swept to the lead turning for home and effortlessly widened down the venue’s long stretch to post a 15 1/4-length score. Ultimate Holiday (Harlan’s Holiday) was second best. The final time of 1:08.26 was just short of the track record of 1:08.18.
“A few little things popped up, and she needed a little extra time [before her debut],” said Alex Solis II of Solis/Litt Bloodstock, who purchased the filly for $400,000 at the Fasig-Tipton March Sale from consignor Eddie Woods on behalf of Larry, Nancy and Jaime Roth’s LNJ Foxwoods. “WinStar rehabbed her for us, we got her back to the track and it’s all been smooth sailing since then. She’s always been a really nice filly.”
The winner, who also sold for $100,000 as a Keeneland September yearling, is a daughter of 2006 GIII Ballerina Breeders’ Cup S. winner Gins Majesty. Solis believes that Super Majesty’s pedigree indicates that her early success will translate to continued improvement at longer distances.
“Physically, she’s a big scopey filly–she’s 16.1, almost 16.2 hands–and she’s out of a Go For Gin mare, so we always thought she was a route filly,” he continued. “We never thought she was a sprinting filly at all, so I think she’s just that talented that she can do it.”
While the ease at which Super Majesty pulled clear from the field on Sunday would likely have been noticed by casual observers, the bloodstock agent noted that his father and jockey, Alex Solis, believes there is still significant room for improvement after his winning ride.
“My dad said he never really got to asking her,” he recalled. “He said he let her stretch her legs a little bit because they’ve never been able to do that in the mornings. She does everything so easily.”
Solis added that no future plans have been made for the bay, and the connections are keeping an open mind when considering a prospective next start–including a cross-country trip to Saratoga.
Gins Majesty, who RNA’d for $240,000 while in foal to First Samurai at the 2007 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky November sale, has also produced the unraced juvenile filly Flynn Bug (Sidney’s Candy), a yearling colt by Bluegrass Cat and a weanling colt by Overanalyze.
LNJ Foxwoods, through Solis/Litt Bloodstock, have purchased a number of other high-dollar prospects earlier this year. Inheritance (Tapit), a juvenile filly purchased for $1.9 million at OBS April now under the care of Steve Asmussen, has recently posted a pair of initial three-furlong workouts June 30 at Keeneland and Monday morning at Churchill Downs. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0, $61,200.
