Go watching around (American Pharoah) pounce on the longtime leader ancient peace (War front) with a long way to run in the GII Summertime Oaks on Saturday and take the lead for the first win on the graded bet level.
Beaten for speed, September’s $700,000 purchase of Keeneland settled among rivals shortly after the pace was set by GI Kentucky Oaks season three The Alys Look (Connect) with external pressure from Ancient Peace. The well-supported second favorite, The Alys Look started to drop out with three-eighths of the mile to race, leaving Ancient Peace alone in the lead, while further back, Lily Poo (water tap) was moving ominously well and loomed a third threat deep in the ramp. Ancient Peace fought bravely at the fence, but Window Shopping continued to overtake Hector Berrios, grabbing the front runner less than a mile away and inching little by little.
On a rough Friday in their first one-mile test run at Del Mar last November, Window Shopping finished a 16 1/2 in its one-mile off-court test here last November. March 17. That effort earned her a spot on April 8 GII Santa Anita Oaks and chestnuts performed well for themselves as they finished seven in the third and were only half beaten. second place after the undefeated at that time. ‘TDN’s Rising Star’ Faiza (girvin).
Genealogical notes:
Window Shopping is the 36th potter winner worldwide and the 22nd ranked/pool winner for the Triple Crown winner American Pharoah. Window Shopping’s dam took her career high in GIII Monmouth Oaks in 2015 and came in second behind America (AP Indy) in that year’s GIII Turnback the Alarm H. Connections got her into training for a while at four o’clock in 2016, but she failed to make the trip to the races and was purchased by International Equities Holding for $700,000 in Keeneland on January 2017, the second most expensive offering in the auction.
Delightful Joy’s first pony is Zainalarab (War front), a $1 million graduation product during Keeneland’s September 2019 Sale, before The Outlet was sold to Steve Young for $700,000 at the same event two years later. Delightful Joy is also represented by an avid Into Mischief and most recently covered by the same male.
