Horse Racing Forum - USA Thoroughbred Races

Miss Mosaic, a half to Miss Temple City and Pricedtoperfection by Verrazano, won the American Beauty S. at Oaklawn.

La Crete (MdO x Cavorting), the half sis to Clarierre, won the Silverbulletday at the Fairgrounds, coming back after being passed to win by a half length. Nice win by a brave filly.

La Crete, half to Clairiere, was very game in winning the Silverbulletday...easily.

Cavorting is one of my all time favorites, and I love Bernardini so much, so I’m just thrilled ...

Song Gate and Better Whisper have become friends as they acclimate to KY.
If you think Song Gate sounds familiar, you're right. She's Songbird's first filly, by Arrogate. Due to a confluence of factors, she will not race; however, she will be bred. Will update as the year goes.

I wonder if she was injured or if she is just too valuable. Sad I was looking forward to her.

Sunday at Oaklawn:

Decade of Dreams, a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Midnight Storm, launches her career in the sixth race Sunday. Her rivals include Xtreme Gem, who is out of the Grade 1-winning mare Gomo, and Firewolves, the probable favorite off a runner-up finish to Hypersport.

She crushed a nothing field. The time was so slow I'll have to review the SA times--I know the track is pretty slow but I don't have a handle on it.

On TVG Rich Perloff just referred to QB One as a gelding, and he was reading from a paid pedigree site. He also expressed surprise at the choice of Bolt d'Oro for Beholder, but that's another discussion.

Yep he has been gelded according to the Jockey Club, I just looked.

Speaking of Beholder’s babies, her 3f Karin With An I (Curlin) looks a lot like her mum.

She recorded her first two works this month.

There was a link when she won the Trial--her dam--Lookin at Lucky's dam--sold at 19 with this filly in utero for $40,000. Filly sold for $425,000 at 2. Not a bad return!

Round Pound's grandson Speaker's Corner won the G3 Fred Hooper.
