Sweet Tapper (Tapit/Sweet Talker) also won at Ellis today, an allowance.

It was a good day at Ellis for the high-end pedigrees. Not This Time (Giant's Causeway/Miss Macy Sue), half to Liam's Map, also broke his maiden there today.

The big lug is green as grass but at least he seemed to get the idea.

maybe he can give a tip or two to his 'nephews'

Zenyatta's little bro won first time on synthetic?
That seems fitting, somehow.

In case anyone wants to watch the De Coronado replay, I found it here - apparently there was an inquiry he survived for bumping in the stretch.

Tale of Life just won the 5th at Saratoga, a nine furlong AOC on the dirt, leading almost all the way. He's a rare Deep Impact colt racing here, and he is out of Second Happiness, by Storm Cat out of Miesque.
Pedigrees don't get much better than that.

Wow, that is a very nice pedigree !

Coldspell (Tapit/Burgundy Ice*) broke his maiden today at Del Mar.

*Burgundy Ice is Storm Cat/Cara Rafaela.

That was an impressive win...he came from so far back with a turn-of-foot in the stretch like some top-class turf horse. Just ran by the whole field of some nicely-bred maidens. Looks to have a nice future. Rider Gary Stevens was pretty happy...gave a big fist pump as they hit the wire.
Is he owned by Godolphin? Coldspell, that is...not Gary.

<Sigh> Six starts, best finish was a 6th.

Never So Few (IRE) finished 8th beaten by 6 1/4 lengths, on August 22, 2016, at SARATOGA in Race 2.
Off odds: 33.75
