+LULL (f, 2, War Front–Quiet Now, by Tiznow) made a strong impression in this debut to take a quality-looking turf maiden group gate-to-wire at 41-10 for the Christophe Clement barn. Made the distant second choice behind Todd Pletcher's 8-5 Asscher (Harlan's Holiday), the bay filly took command from the jump, leading by a measured length from Colts Neck Stables firster Balayage (War Front) through a :22.18 quarter-mile. Inching away on her own power through a :44.95 half, Lull kicked clear strongly in mid-stretch when called upon by Manny Franco and came home uncontested by around three lengths over the favorite. The winner is a half to Irsaal (More Than Ready), MSP, $321,413. Her dam is a half to 2005 Horse of the Year, Champion older horse and GI Breeders' Cup Classic winner Saint Liam (Saint Ballado), GSW's Quiet Giant (Giant's Causeway) and Congressionalhonor (Forestry) and MGISP Miss Besilu (Medaglia d'Oro). She was sold for $1.85-million in utero to City Zip in 2011. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $45,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
