[tdn-newsletter-embed]BENSALEM, PA -- Having finished third in the GI Kentucky Derby and GI Belmont Stakes and runner-up in the GII Jim Dandy Stakes with Baeza (McKinzie), C R K Stable's Lee Searing admitted to at least a modicum of remorse about not making another trip East for last month's GI DraftKings Travers Stakes. "We flew him three times," he explained. "I would have loved to have run in the Travers against Sovereignty one more time. We'll get him again." A $1.2-million Keeneland September graduate campaigned in partnership with Grandview Equine...
10th-Santa Anita, $68,500, Msw, 3-15, 3yo, f, 6fT, 1:10.39, gd, 1/2 length. MISLEADING (f, 3, Not This Time--Heart of Paradise {GSP}, by More Than Ready) executed a perfectly-timed rush to graduate in-style.

He worked a bullet four furlongs in :47.80 (1/67) Dec. 31 and covered five furlongs in 1:02.60 (19/31) Jan. 9. "He's...
Looking to extend her unbeaten streak to four, C R K Stable's Medoro (Honor Code) was made to work for it, but ultimately outbattled a very tough Shiloh's Mistress (Vino Rosso) in the GIII Providencia S. at Santa Anita. The 1-5 mortal looked to step away a half-step slowly under Antonio Fresu, relegating her to a rearward position through the opening exchanges, as Shiloh's Mistress pushed through from the fence to take up the running beneath Umberto Rispoli. A fraction headstrong as a result of the tardy dispatch, Medoro got...
