+SNOWFIRE (f, 2, Tapit&log=#tot">Tapit–Upperline {MGSW, $772,988}, by Maria's Mon), dispatched at 4-1 in this unveiling, stalked from a two-wide third early as stablemate Dancing (Bernardini) and Our Girl Abby (Majestic Warrior) battled it out through an opening quarter in :21.86. Drawing alongside the pacesetters as they clocked a half in :45.84, the $500,000 FTSAUG buy swept to the lead in mid-stretch and kicked clear for a four-length score. Our Girl Abby held on for second over Dancing. Upperline's first foal is the 3-year-old colt War Secretary (War Front), an $825,000 KEESEP RNA, who is a stakes winner in Ireland for the Coolmore contingent and trainer Aidan O'Brien. The 10-year-old mare did not produce a foal in 2016, but had a War Front colt Mar. 3 of this year. Snowfire's second dam Snowflake (Ire) (Caerleon), a daughter of G1 Oaks d'Italia heroine Ivyanna (Ire) (Reference Point {GB}), is Group 1-placed in England, as well as MSP in the U.S. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $28,020.
