Klaravich Stables

The Five Fastest Maidens, Feb. 2- Feb. 8

5 -- HIGH CAMP, GP, 2/7-6th, 7 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure-85 (c, 3, by Instagrand-Summer Silk, by Uncle Mo) O/B-OXO Equine (Ky). T-Will Walden. J-John Velazquez. Owner-breeder Larry Best continues to get mileage out of his former stakes star Instagrand, but you wouldn't have bet a dollar on High Camp at the quarter-pole. He was 2nd under a ride when two rivals blew past him--prematurely, as it turned out - and he dropped to 4th then swung wide and came back again to win. He's the first foal from...

Klaravich Stables' CURRENT YIELD (f, 3, Nyquist--Denali Tizadream, by Colonel John) overcame a tricky inside trip, belying her inexperience to graduate impressively at first asking as the 2-1 favorite Saturday at Tampa Bay Downs. Away fairly from the inside gate in a full field of sophomore fillies, the $400,000 Keeneland September purchase mustered for speed and argued the pace from a tight spot down on the fence entering the turn. Ridden along as they lined up five abreast to take a crack at her on the swing for home, Current...

7th-Belmont The Big A, $85,000, Msw, 9-28, 2yo, f, 1m, 1:37.28, ft, nose. BELIEVABLE (f, 2, Curlin--Temptress, by Tapit), an $800,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Yearling sale grad, may not have made the front in her debut race as an 8-1 shot here, but she certainly remedied that by the time the field exited the chute and hit the main track. The 2-year-old held sway up the backstretch and around the far turn, but entering the lane she was challenged by a bid to the outside from Concurrently (Amercian Pharoah). Duking it...

Cairo Prince Filly Goes 'Deep' On Debut, Becomes A 'Rising Star'

Klaravich Stables' Deep Learning (Cairo Prince) sat a midfield trip while saving all the ground in Friday's third race from Saratoga, hugged the fence into the lane, and when she was popped the question by Flavien Prat with better than a furlong to go, she left her rivals in the dust, careering away to graduate by a good three lengths to achieve 'TDN Rising Star' status. Sent off favored at 2.35-1, the $27,000 Keeneland September buyback who blossomed into a $325,000 OBS April breezer (see below) was content to gain...

He nearly ran out of time but Klaravich Stable runner Capital Partner (GB) (Kingman {GB}) put in a furious rally down the middle of the Saratoga turf course Saturday to become a new 'TDN Rising Star'. The debuting colt, purchased for 360,000gns out of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 1 last season, left himself with plenty of work to do early after getting squeezed back in a tight spot on the run into the first turn.
