The “Win and You’re In” excitement continues this Sunday, October 2nd, at Belmont at the Big A! The card features two opportunities for the youngsters to make the “Future Stars Friday” card, November 4th at Keeneland. Race 8 is the mile Frizette (G1), offering a $400,000 purse, points toward the Kentucky Oaks, and a spot in the NetJets Juvenile Fillies gate. Then, R9 is the $200,000 Pilgrim Stakes (G2), a 1-1/16th miles turf contest, offering berth to the Juvenile Turf!
The Frizette, named for the stakes-winning filly who went on to become an internationally influential blue hen broodmare. She is the ancestress of stars such as Tourbillon, Vagrancy, Dahlia, Seattle Slew, and Mr. Prospector, just to name a few.
Speaking of blue hen mares, Chocolate Gelato, installed as the 9-5 morning line favorite in the Frizette, hails from one of the most prolific lines, that of family 1-x, which traces to the great mare La Troienne. Chocolate Gelato, is by multiple G1 winner Practical Joke (Hopeful, H. Allen Jerkens, 3rd BC Juvenile, 4th BC Dirt Mile). She’s out of the mare Special Treat, by Candy Ride. Her 2nd dam is Snooze, by Forestry, a half-sister to G1W and millionaire, Imagining (Man o’War Stakes). Chocolate Gelato’s maternal great-grandmother is G2W/G1P Daydreaming (Top Flight Handicap, 2nd Gazelle Handicap), by Hall of Famer A.P. Indy. Daydreaming is herself a full-sister to G1W Girolamo (Vosburgh Stakes) and Accelerator, who actually won the 1996 edition of the Pilgrim Stakes.
Other full siblings to Daydreaming are Supercharger, who is best known as the dam of 2010’s Kentucky Derby victor, Super Saver, and She’s a Winner, who produced Bluegrass Cat, winner of the 2006 Haskell Invitational and runner-up in the Kentucky Derby, Belmont, and Travers. That means the 4th dam is Get Lucky, by Mr. Prospector. She won the Affectionately Handicap (G3) and is a full-sister to Rhythm, 1989’s Eclipse/Breeders’ Cup Juvenile champion. Chocolate Gelato’s 5th dam is Dance Number, who won the Beldame (G1), and her 6th is 1971’s Eclipse champion two-year-old filly, and blue hen mare, Numbered Account. In addition to producing Dance Number, she is also the dam of Polish Numbers and Private Account, the latter of which went on to sire Hall of Famer Personal Ensign.
To put the class potency into perspective, Numbered Account is out of a blue hen mare in Intriguing, who is out of blue hen mare Glamour, who is out of blue hen mare Striking, out of blue hen mare Baby League, out of the La Troienne, whose own dam, Helene de Troie, also holds that distinction of influence. It’s a family which has produced some of the all-time greats and so it should come as no surprise to see a filly like this go on to win her second start, gate-to-wire, by 8-1/2 lengths at Saratoga for Todd Pletcher and Repole Stable. Also flattering that win was the third placed, Take Charge Briana, scoring a Saratoga maiden special weight of her own next out.
The 7-2 morning-line second choice is #6 The Great Maybe, who definitely answered the quality question when she won her debut, from the rail and against a big field, at Saratoga by 8 lengths for trainer Cherie DeVaux and Lael Stables. She is a daughter of Upstart, who won the first two starts of his career before a runner-up finish in the 2014 Champagne (G1) and third in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile. Upstart, who is by A.P. Indy’s son, Flatter, went on to later win the Holy Bull (G2), Foutain of Youth (G2), and Razorback Handicap (G3), before capping his career with a show dough finish in the Whitney (G1). The Great Maybe’s dam is Pure Legacy, by Simon Pure, and the most intriguing thing to note regarding him is that he is out of two-time Eclipse champion Life’s Magic, who was top three-year-old filly of 1984 and older mare in 1985, a season in which she also won the Breeders’ Cup Distaff, bettering her runner-up performance the year prior. Life’s Magic was also a G1 winning juvenile, taking the 1983 Oak Leaf Stakes, but she was also 2nd in the Frizette.
On the rail is Leave No Trace, who is two-for-two and coming in off a 1-1/2 lengths win in the Spinaway (G1) for Phil Serpe and WellSpring Stables. The runner-up, Wonder Wheel, had previously won the Debutante Stakes at Churchill and is expected to next run in the “Win and You’re In” Darley Alcibiades, October 8th at Keeneland. As for pedigree, Leave No Trace is a daughter of Uncle Mo scion Outwork, winner of the 2016 Wood Memorial (G1), and out of Tanquerray, by Good Journey, a horse who was denied the 2002 Breeders’ Cup Mile when he lost by a mere ¾ of a length, finishing third behind Domedriver and Rock of Gibraltar.
The filly to Leave No Trace’s inside, #2 American Rockette, also exits the Spinaway, in which she finished 4th, 3-1/4 lengths back for Bill Mott and breeder/owner Frank Fletcher. She had drawn the far outside, which led to losing all chance at the start, as she bolted for the outside rail exiting the gate. Yet, this miss still persevered along the backside, only to then be forced to go extremely wide into the turn for home with another filly rubbing up along her inside. She showed a lot of determination and guts to get up for 4th that day, and this was following up a 2-1/2 lengths score over good going at Saratoga in an off-turf maiden special weight.
Considering the way she finished in both starts, one would think the mile can only be of benefit for this daughter of “Grand Slam” champion and Coolmore sire, American Pharoah. Her half-sister, Frank’s Rockette by Into Mischief, was 2nd in the 2019 edition of the Frizette, and went on to become a multiple graded-stakes winner, with scores in the Victory Ride (G3), Prioress (G2), and Gallant Bloom (G2), a race she won ahead of a gallant, even if unsuccessful, bid in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint against the boys. Their dam, Rocket Twentyone by Indian Charlie, was a stakes winner at two-years-old, taking the Arlington-Washington Lassie (G3). Also quite notable is that this female family includes another daughter of Indian Charlie – Indian Blessing – whose 2008 title as Eclipse champion female sprinter was preceded by the Eclipse Award for champion two-year-old filly after her score in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies, a season which also included a win in the Frizette.
The #3 is Raging Sea, trained by Chad Brown for breeder/owner Alpha Delta Stables. She won her debut going 7 furlongs at Saratoga and should dig the opportunity to go further. She’s a daughter of Hall of Famer Curlin and out of Stormy Welcome, by Storm Cat. Stormy Welcome was unraced, but her own mother, G3 winner Welcome Surprise, by Seeking the Gold, is a half-sister to millionaire Summer Squall and Hall of Famer, and prepotent sire, A.P. Indy. The family also includes European highweight Wolfhound, and Breeders’ Cup Mile victor, Court Vision, who amassed over $3.7 million in earnings.
Vedareo will start from post #5 for trainer Robert Reid and breeder/owner Swilcan Stable. This filly is by More Than Ready’s son, Daredevil, winner of the 2014 Champagne Stakes (G1), and out of their beloved mare Vero Amore, by 2003’s Horse of the Year, and A.P. Indy scion, Mineshaft. Vero Amore, who was just a neck 2nd in the 2014 Black-Eyed Susan, is the dam of 2020’s Eclipse/Juvenile Fillies champion Vequist, by Nyquist. Vequist was campaigned by the same connections and won the Spinaway Stakes (G1) by 9-1/2 lengths ahead of a 2nd place finish in the Frizette to Dayoutoftheoffice, against whom she turned the tables in the Breeders’ Cup. Sadly, Vero Amore was lost to colic at the beginning of this year, so it would make for quite the story should Vedareo continue to progress. She enters the Frizette with two wins from three starts, with her lone loss coming in the Schuylerville (G3) in which she stumbled at the start and then bumped significantly with another filly. She rebounded nicely, taking the mile Sorority at Monmouth by 6 lengths.
Rounding out the field in post #7 is You’re My Girl, trained by John Terranova and owned by Gatsas Stables, R A Hill Stable and Hidden Brook Farm. She crushed a NY-bred, maiden special weight field at Saratoga by 14-1/2 lengths as the post time favorite. She’s a daughter of Overanalyze, who won the Futurity (G2) and Remsen (G2) as a juvenile, and later picked up a G1 score in the Arkansas Derby. You’re My Girl’s dam is Peace Queen, by Indian Charlie. She’s already produced the stakes placed Tommy the Torch, and is herself a half-sister to multiple graded-stakes winner Tizaqueena (Churchill Distaff Turf Mile G2, Arlington Matron G3, 2nd First Lady G1, etc).
Now, we turn our attention to the turf, where a field of 12 boys has been entered in the Pilgrim Stakes (G2), offering berth into the Juvenile Turf. The 7-5 morning-line favorite is the #10 I’m Very Busy for Chad Brown, Team Hanley, Richard Schermerhorn, and Paul Braverman. He’s exiting a debut win, going the 8.5 furlongs on the turf at Saratoga, in which he crossed 3-3/4 lengths the best. Back in third that day was Reckoning Force, who next skipped the maiden special weight condition to score the Juvenile Stakes at Kentucky Downs for trainer Joseph O’Brien.
Brown trained I’m Very Busy’s sire, 2017’s Preakness victor, Cloud Computing. I’m Very Busy is a half-brother to Grand Kisses, who won the Lady Charles Town Stakes. Their dam, Two Kisses, is by Kissin Kris. Kissin Kris was 6th in the 1992 Pilgrim Stakes, but later became a G1 winner, taking the 1993 Haskell Invitational. He also got the show dough in that year’s Breeders’ Cup Classic behind Arcangues and Bertrando. Two Kisses’ full-sister, Kiss Me Twice, won the Florida Breeders’ Distaff, but it is their half-brother, Answer Lively, you would most likely recognize, as he won the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and Eclipse champion honors in 1998.
Fly Right, trained by Leah Gyarmati for breeder/owner Treadway Stables, starts from the inside, coming off getting beat just a neck by General Jim going 8.5 furlongs on the turf at Saratoga. He’s a son of Australian, G1 sprinter Astern, and out of Fly By, by Johar. Johar made history in the 2003 Breeders’ Cup Turf, dead-heating for the win with High Chaparral. Fly Right is also a full-brother to Sail By, winner of last year’s Miss Grillo Stakes (G2).
#2 is Noble Huntsman for trainer Mitchell Friedman and breeder/owner Richard Greeley. He won his debut by 4-1/2 lengths at Saratoga, sprinting 5.5 furlongs against a NY-bred maiden special weight field but has struggled a bit since, with two back-to-back 5th placed finishes in the Skidmore and With Anticipation Stakes (G3). To be fair, in the Skidmore, he did finish only 3-1/4 lengths back of Oxymore, who then ran 2nd to Webslinger in the Nownownow at Monmouth Park. The runner-up, Private Creed, next won the Juvenile Sprint at Kentucky Downs, and the 4th placed Appraise was next 2nd to Mysterious Night in the “Win and You’re In” Summer Stakes (G1) at Woodbine. In the With Anticipation, the first time stretched to a route, he had to settle between horses early and then, with a slow pace up front, attempted to roll heading into the turn for home, but was completely stymied, first blocked from making a run, then unable to change leads with a horse to his outside hindering movement.
Based on the pedigree, the distance certainly suits. Noble Huntsman is a son of 2014’s Cartier champion older horse in Europe, Noble Mission, who is also a full-brother to the great Frankel. Noble Huntsman’s dam, My Cara Mia, is by multiple G1W Colonel John (Santa Anita Derby, Travers Stakes), himself a son of two-time Classic champion and Hall of Famer, Tiznow. My Cara Mia is also a half-sister to Saratoga Dew winner Carameaway, and their extended family further includes the multiple graded-stakes winning Con Lima (Herecomesthebride G3, Wonder Again Stakes G3, Saratoga Oaks Invitational G3, 2nd Belmont Oaks Invitational G1, etc…).
Trying the turf for the first time is #3 Major Dude, trained by Todd Pletcher for Spendthrift Farm. The debut was an encouraging 3-3/4 lengths score at Monmouth, but he then ran up against it in the Sanford Stakes (G3) before a third placed finish in the Sapling. So, will the surface switch make the difference? Major Dude is a son of Spendthrift stallion, Bolt d’Oro, and dropped the hammer at Fasig-Tipton’s August yearling sale for $550,000 in 2021 for good reason. Bolt d’Oro was precocious and classy. He won the first three starts of his career, including a 7-3/4 lengths romp in the FrontRunner Stakes (G1). He was favored to win the 2017 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, but finished third that day. As a three-year-old, he still showed talent, but had to settle for 2nd, a head behind McKinzie, in the San Felipe (G2) and then 2nd again, this time to eventual Triple Crown champion Justify, in the Santa Anita Derby (G1).
Bolt d’Oro is himself a son of the potent Medaglia d’Oro and out of the A.P. Indy mare Globe Trot, which is quite interesting when you factor in that Major Dude’s dam, Mary Rita by Distorted Humor, is out of the A.P. Indy mare Possibility. Possibility, meanwhile, is out of, Hall of Fame distaffer Personal Ensign, who also produced 1995’s Juvenile Fillies victress, My Flag, who then produced Eclipse/Juvenile Fillies champion Storm Flag Flying, both of whom collected further G1 wins beyond their two-year-old seasons. Personal Ensign is also the dam of Miners Mark (Jockey Club Gold Cup G1), Traditionally (Oaklawn Handicap G1), Our Emblem (2nd Carter Handicap G1), Proud and True (3rd Baltimore Breeders’ Cup Handicap G3), and Salute (2nd G2 Demoiselle), the latter of which went on to produce millionaire Mr Speaker, whose wins include the G1 Belmont Derby Invitational.
Mike Dini trains #4 Bramble Blaze for breeder/owner Ballybrit Stable. He won his debut going a mile on the turf at Monmouth Park. They then tried the Nownownow Stakes over the same track and distance, but the best he could manage was 8th, beaten 9-3/4 lengths. Still, there’s hope he can improve in start three. Bramble Blaze is a half-brother to multiple stakes winning turfer, Bramble Queen, who is also G3 placed, getting the show dough in the Modesty (G3). She was also 4th in the 2017 Miss Grillo Stakes. Another multiple stakes-winning half-sister is Bramble Bay, whose scores include two editions of the Jersey Girl Handicap, and most recently, the Pinot Grigio. Yet another half-sister, Bramble Berry, was most recently 2nd in the Hurricane Bertie Stakes (G3) to Obligatory.
Bramble Blaze is a son of G2W/MG1P turfer Summer Front, who finished 4th, beaten just two lengths, in the 2014 Breeders’ Cup Mile. Dam, Regal Rose, is an unraced daughter of the influential Empire Maker, and her own dam, Popozinha, by Rahy, hails from a female family cultivated in Europe. In fact, this colt’s 5th dam is Alea, who was champion two-year-old filly in Italy. She became a foundation mare and is also the 5th dam of 2018’s Eclipse champion turf female, and Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf winner, Sistercharlie – and that of her half-siblings, My Sister Nat (2nd in the 2021 BC Filly & Mare Turf), and Sottsass, who followed up a champion three-year-old season in France with triumph in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.
#5 Battle of Normandy is trained by Shug McGaughey for West Point Thoroughbreds and Woodford Racing. He won his debut by 2-1/4 lengths over Joseph O’Brien trainee Alexis Zorba, who, before being brought to the United States, had put in two runner-up performances behind Blackbeard and Little Big Bear, both of whom are now Gr1 winners. In the With Anticipation (G3), Battle of Normandy had drawn the rail, the going was good, the pace was slow, and he ultimately finished just a neck shy of Boppy O.
As for pedigree, Battle of Normandy is by 2018’s Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile victor, City of Light, who capped his career with a 5-3/4 lengths score in the Pegasus World Cup Invitational. Dam, Adorable Miss, was a multiple stakes winner on grass, with wins in the Honey Ryder and Martha Washington Stakes. She’s also a daughter of 2004’s Eclipse champion grass horse, Kitten’s Joy, and her full-sister, Noble Beauty, won the Pucker Up Stakes (G3). Their dam, Money Huntress, is an unraced daughter of Mineshaft, but her own mother, Favorite Funtime by Seeking the Gold, won the Santa Maria Handicap (G1).
Graham Motion saddles #6 Dataman (who is also cross-entered in Saturday’s Laurel Futurity) for breeder/owners Wertheimer and Frere. He was 5th behind Appraise on debut, sprinting 5.5 furlongs on the turf at Saratoga, but then showed up for the win stretched to a mile at Colonial. The race produced two next out winners in Otago and Furiously, though the former’s score came off the turf at Pimlico, and the latter prevailed on the synthetic at Presque Isle.
Dataman is a son of the prepotent Tapit and out of Soldata by 1995’s Eclipse champion two-year-old colt, Maria’s Mon. Dataman is a half-brother to Gr2 winner Alignement (Qatar Prix Dollar) and to Alda, who won the Catch a Glimpse Stakes ahead of close 2nd place finish behind Lady Speightspeare in the Natalma (G1). Soldata herself is a full-sister to multiple graded-stakes winner, and sire, Exhi, and their female family also includes the likes of two-time Sovereign Horse of the Year L’Enjoleur, three-time champion La Voyageuse, Sovereign champion two-year-old Medaille d’Or, G2W D’Accord, and Canadian Racing Hall of Famer, Fanfreluche.
Stepping out of NY-bred competition is the #7 Ramblin’ Wreck for trainer Danny Gargan, Reeves Thoroughbred Racing, and Peter and Patty Searles. He was soundly beaten on debut, sprinting 6 panels on the main track at Saratoga, but improved to the point of winning by three lengths when switched to an 8.5 furlongs turf contest. The affinity for grass is unsurprising. While his sire, Redesdale by Speightstown, ran exclusively on dirt, Redesdale’s dam, Harpia, is a full-sister to Gr1 winner, and one of the most significant, internationally lauded sires, Danehill. Then, Ramblin’ Wreck’s dam, Dakota Kid, is by Lemon Drop Kid. Yes, he ran on dirt, with G1 wins in the Futurity, Belmont, Travers, and Woodward, but his sire, Kingmambo, was out of two-time Breeders’ Cup Mile winner and Hall of Famer, Miesque, and was himself a multiple Gr1 winner overseas. Dakota Kid is also the dam of Dakota Gold, who has won four-of-six starts, including the 2021 Nownownow Stakes, and was 5th, but just 2-1/4 lengths off Modern Games, in last year’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile. Dakota Kid herself is also a half-sister to Dakota Phone, whose wins include the 2010 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile. Another fun fact is that Ramblin’ Wreck’s 2nd dam, World of Gold, is by Spinning World, who bettered his 2nd place finish in the 1996 Breeders’ Cup Mile with victory in 1997.
#8 Vacation Dance is also stepping out of state-bred competition, having won sprinting 5 furlongs on the turf at Saratoga. The John Kimmel trainee is owned by Sleeping Giant Stables, America’s Pastime Stables, and KimDon Racing. There have been no next out winners as of yet, but the runner-up, Disarmed, had gone off as the favorite following a 4th placed finish on debut to fellow entrant Noble Huntsman. Vacation Dance is a son of The Lieutenant, Justify’s half-brother by Street Sense. The Lieutenant did not quite emulate his brother, but he did put up a triple digit Beyer winning the All American Stakes (G3) on the synthetic at Golden Gate. Vacation Dance is out of Matinee Express, an unraced daughter of multiple G1 winner Zensational, who collected those scores (Triple Bend, Bing Crosby, Pat O’Brien) on the then-synthetic in California. He closed out his career with a 5th placed finish, though only 1-3/4 lengths beaten as the favorite, in the 2009 Breeders’ Cup Sprint. The second dam is Performing Diva, by Storm Cat. She was 2nd in the Darley Alcibiades, and is a full-sister to millionaire Vision and Verse, whose wins include the Illinois Derby. She’s also a half-sister to Distorted Legacy. Distorted Legacy won the Sky Beauty Stakes and was 2nd in the Flower Bowl Invitational (G1), but is beset known as the dam of last year’s Woodward (G1) winner, Art Collector, who, as of this writing, was last seen winning the Charles Town Classic, and will next be contesting the Lukas Classic Stakes (G2) at Churchill Downs.
Next in line is #9 Lachaise, trained by Jorge Abreu for Lawrence Goichman. He, too, is coming in off a win over NY-bred competition on the turf, but at the 8.5 furlongs distance. He’s by Oscar Performance, who won the 2016 edition of the Pilgrim ahead of annexing the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf, and later in his career, he picked up more G1 luster, adding Belmont Derby, Secretariat, and Woodbine Mile to his list of accomplishments. Little wonder he would have such success on the turf, as Oscar Performance is by 2004’s champion grass horse Kitten’s Joy, and out of a mare by 1987’s - Theatrical. This ridgling’s dam, Elusive Rumor, by Elusive Quality, was multiple stakes-placed on grass, and has been a pretty solid producer. Her son by The Factor, Scuttlebuzz, put up a 101 Beyer figure winning the Elusive Quality Stakes. Her Scat Daddy daughter, Myhartblongstodaddy, was a multiple stakes winner on grass against NY-bred competition, and her Flintshire filly, Runaway Rumour, won the Wild Applause, was just a neck shy of Fluffy Socks in the Sands Point (G2), and most recently ran third in the John Hettinger Stakes, a race won by Myhartblongstodady last year, for the same connections.
Danny Gargan’s 2nd entry in the Pilgrim is #11 Torigo, for Arnmore Thoroughbreds and Belmar Racing and Breeding. He was 4th on debut, beaten 7 lengths by the favored I’m Very Busy. Still, it’s hard for a two-year-old to get it done first time out, let alone at 8.5 furlongs. This colt is by Munnings and out of the French-bred stakes winner, Shadan. She made a fine accounting of herself, even if unsuccessful, showing speed before fading in the 2018 Sands Point (G2). Her sire, Orpen, by two-time BC Mile champion Lure, was 1998’s champion two-year-old in Ireland. Shadan’s half-sister, Tamahere, fared better in the Sands Point, winning it. She was also 2nd in the G1 Coolmore Jenny Wiley. Their dam, Alatasarai is by 2000’s Cartier Horse of the Year, Giant’s Causeway. Torigo’s 3rd dam is a daughter of champion Montjeu, winner of the 2000 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (Gr1), and the extended female family is responsible for producing the likes of Classic Park, whose wins include the Irish One Thousand Guineas (Gr1).
Completing the field is #12 Movisitor, trained by Naoise Agnew for F L I Racing. This son of 2010’s Eclipse/Breeders’ Cup Juvenile champion, Uncle Mo, has never run on the grass. Both starts have been on the synthetic at Presque Isle Downs, and sprints. He didn’t get away with alacrity on debut, but fared better for the experience and with an extra furlong next out, taking it to the field early to score by 2-1/4 lengths in the end. Dam, Ristretto, is by Medaglia d’Oro and a half-sister to the stakes winning, multiple graded-stakes placed, Western Reserve, a son of Uncle Mo’s own sire, Indian Charlie. The 2nd dam is Visit (GB), by 2002’s Champion two-year-old in England, Oasis Dream. Visit’s wins include the Oak Tree and Princess Margaret Stakes, both G3s, but she was also 2nd in the Gamely and Yellow Ribbon Stakes at G1 level, and third in the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf. Her sibling, Promising Lead by Danehill, won the Pretty Polly Stakes (Gr1) and was 2nd in the Prix de l’Opera (Gr1).
If these notes weren’t encouragement enough to think Movisitor should move up on grass, how about the fact that his maternal great-grandmother, the stakes winning Arrive, is a full-sister to the great blue hen broodmare Hasili, whose progeny include champions of the turf and the shed, like Champs Elysees, Intercontinental and Banks Hill (both Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf champions), Cacique, Heat Haze, and the great sire Dansili.
Phew.
Remember, in addition to the Pilgrim and Frizette Stakes, there are even more Breeders’ Cup berths on the line this Sunday!
