Thursday Insights: OBS June Topper By Curlin Makes First Start In Hot Springs

6th-OP, $110K, Msw, 3yo, f, 6f, 4:25 p.m. ET.
FEMINISM (Curlin) makes her first start for trainer Steve Asmussen. Initially a $200,000 Fasig-Tipton October Yearling buy, the filly posted a 10 flat breeze during OBS June, then sailed through the ring to become the sales topper when Gus King took her home for $975,000. The first-time starter is out Mufajaah (Tapit), who had a fair amount of success visiting the Larry Snyder Winner's Circle at Oaklawn where she won, among other races, the GIII Bayakoa Stakes. The dam of eight foals, three to race and as many winners is herself out of MGSW Carolyn's Cat (Forestry). TJCIS PPS
