At least his last work was a bullet so maybe he's putting things together.

Encode holds on to win.

Love Divine has already enjoyed success at stud with Sea The Stars' relatives: she produced St Leger hero Sixties Icon to Sea The Stars' half-brother Galileo and Jockey Club Stakes runner-up Native Ruler to Cape Cross.
Really excited about this one!

Was 4th in a field of 18 by 4 1/4
'slowly into stride, held up in touch in rear, effort and edging right when switched left well over 1f out, headway 1f out, stayed on strongly inside final furlong, no threat to winner'

Will probably be better next out! On Sunday, My Titania (by Sea The Stars) is having her first go at stakes company!

He won easily.

It's a race like this that I want to see a dead heat.

Rizeena ran today in the Shadwell Fillies' Mile and finished 2nd.

mariasmon · Fri Sep 27, 2013 11:38 pm

Pachelbel (Distorted Humor x Music Note) and Misconnect (full to Winslow Homer) are in the 2nd at BEL tomorrow. Pachelbel is debuting and Misconnect was previously 2nd to Honor Code.

The last foal of Got Koko, Gokokogo (by Bernardini) is in a $10,000 maiden claiming hurdle at Foxfield today.

Black Pond (1/2 to Drosselmeyer) is in a $15,000 claiming hurdle at Shawan Downs today.

Maidblue (1/2 to Tenpins) is running in a training flat race on the same card.

Also, Kitten in May is in a maiden special weight hurdle at Foxfield. I believe he'll be the first Kitten's Joy offspring to start over fences, marking the beginning of a long era of Kitten domination in the sport. Kitten in May is actually owned by the Ramseys (who are strong steeplechase supporters), trained by Tom Voss.

It also looks like he changed trainers. Still owned by Besilu but is entered with Edward Plesa, Jr as trainer.

Izvestia · Sat Sep 28, 2013 8:20 am

Any fans of Strait of Dover?

His 3/4 sister Starlite Strike's 2-year-old filly by Lewis Michael, named Roma Star, is entered today at Hastings Park in the 6, a maiden optional claimer.

ChampionCurlin · Sat Sep 28, 2013 10:00 am

Interrupted (Broken Vow x Alternate) won her debut at Laurel yesterday with a strong closing drive.

mariasmon · Sat Sep 28, 2013 10:45 am

Busatto (full to Biondetti, 3/4 to Indy Five Hundred & Delta Princess) just won at Chester, breaking his maiden at 10F on turf. He really looks like Bernardini.

Misconnect won, Pachelbel was 6the.

I think Plesa had him for his last race, too.

Ioya Two · Sat Sep 28, 2013 2:44 pm

I would think this flatters Honor Code for the Champagne quite a bit. They both have big futures. I wasn't sure Misconnect was going to get there, but he lengthened his stride late. He obviously wanted more ground.

Race 3 at Belmont, Survival was third (Giant's Causeway-Matlacha Pass). I don't know where This Guy is Blue finished (MDO-Kim's Blues)

Joyeuse finished sixth, beating only one horse.
