CHAMBER (f, 3, Tapit&log=">Tapit–Sightseek {MGISW,$2,445,216}, by Distant View)was backed down to 4-5 for her 6 1/2-furlong unveiling upstate Aug.16, but she settled for fourth after missing the break. Pounded down to 45-100 here, she once again made a mess of the start from the rail, but quickly recovered to settle in a perfect stalking spot along the fence drafting behind the pacesetters. Asked for a bit more heading for home after a :47.20 half, the grey tipped out at the head of the lane and gobbled up ground to draw off by 7 1/2 lengths. Front-running Hurricane Sheila (Congrats) held on to complete the exacta. The winner is a half to young Calumet sire Raison d'Etat (A.P. Indy), GSP, $134,055; unraced 2-year-old filly Solent (Hard Spun); and a filly foal by Flintshire (GB). Her talented dam, who racked up six highest-level wins at Big Sandy alone, most recently visited another Juddmonte luminary in Arrogate (Unbridled's Song). Sightseek is a half to MGISW Tates Creek (Rahy) and from the deep female family of European champion Special Duty (GB) (Hennessy), MGISW Etoile Montante (Miswaki), etc. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $46,350.
