He could just be slow, but he doesn't look like he has much interest in being a racehorse.
Even at Golden Gate, a horse has to want to beat the horse in front of him/her.

TVG asked Richard Mandella before the race if anything about him was reminiscent of Beholder. "No." :(

I can give him a happy home! 🙂 He’s a handsome boy who just isn’t his mother…

Maybe he and Ziconic can commiserate about the unfair expectations of being a pretty pony with a monster mom.

Influencing (Tapit x Marketing Mix) broke her maiden in her fourth start in the 6th at Tampa Bay.

She's also a canidate for the clever names thread :D

Free: Judging from her first U.S. start, Pennybaker a name to remember
https://www.drf.com/news/free-judging-h ... e-remember
Pennybaker lost her first six starts, all maiden turf races in France. She finally switched to synthetic and went on a tear. The Godolphin-owned and -bred filly, by Medaglia d’Oro and produced by a full sister to Frosted, won four straight, including a late-season stakes race in France. It earned her a ticket to the United Staters for her new trainer, Michael Stidham.

Aussie Pride (Curlin - Bounding (AUS)) earns back some of that $4.1million by breaking his maiden in his third start ;) He looked very stylish! I hope it's the first of many wins.

His half-sister Lolloping was a debut winner, but finished off the board in her most recent start.

Nice field in the 5th at Keeneland, a 1-mile Allowance for F&M on the turf. It was won by Nevisian Sunrise (War Front x My Miss Sophia [UBS]), with Seasons (Tapit x Winter Memories [El Prado]) closing well in 2nd.

Beautifully bred Tap for Me coming of age
https://www.drf.com/news/beautifully-br ... coming-age
Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen is a fan of Tap for Me.

You might even call him a “groupie” when it comes to the daughter of Tapit and the champion racemare Groupie Doll.

“She’s beautiful,” he said.

She wasn't a stakes winner, didn't even race but Zandon's dam Memories Prevail has the distinction of being the first foal for Creative Cause.

"She wasn't a stakes winner, didn't even race but Zandon's dam Memories Prevail has the distinction of being the first foal for Creative Cause. "

Zandon is intriguing me. Along with liking Upstart/Flatter/A.P. Indy on top, being out of a Creative Cause mare is a plus IMO. Creative Cause (Giant's Causeway x Dream of Summer) has a G1-winning full sister, Vexatious, and a G2 brother, Destin. Nice female line.
I also just got a good TVG-profile look at him walking around/working out at Churchill...all clean and shiny. He is a purty boy. :D
