CHARGE NOW (c, 3, Tiznow–Supercharger, by A.P. Indy), second on debut going a mile over the local lawn Feb. 14, fired back-to-back bullets at Payson Park, most recently going a half-mile in :48 2/5 Mar. 23. Dispatched at 5-2 for this initial dirt attempt, the half-brother of GI Kentucky Derby victor Super Saver (Maria's Mon) tracked from a close third through soft opening splits. In the middle of a three-horse duel rounding the far turn, the bay fought clear in mid-stretch and held off the determined Legend (Tiznow) for a 1 1/4-length graduation. The winner is a half-brother to Super Saver, GISW, $1,889,766; and Brethren (Distorted Humor), GSW, $386,465. Charge Now traces his lineage back to champions Rhythm (Mr. Prospector) and Numbered Account (Buckpasser); and GISW Bluegrass Cat (Storm Cat), Girolamo (A.P. Indy) and Dance Number (Northern Dancer). Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, $37,200. Click for the brisnet.com chart orVIDEO.O/B WinStar Farm LLC (KY). T-William Mott.
