Four-time Eclipse Award winner Beholder (Henny Hughes) will be represented by another first-timer at the races, this time through Karin with a me (Curlin). The super-rich’s daughter debuted a few days after her 4-year-old half brother QB One (Uncle Mo) third-place second-place effort claims here on March 27 for their shared connections about Spendthrift Farm and trainer Richard Mandella. Karin With an I worked the day before that race, posting a long move six times on the main track in 1 hour 14.20 (4/7). My Kentucky Girl (American pharoah), the $475,000 September Keeneland graduate, is also on track for the first time for Tommy Town Thoroughbreds and Jonathan Wong. She is half sister with $700,000 KEESEP ’19 class Big City Momma (Quality Sugar) and bet Life On the Road (Street Sense). PP of TJCIS
8-GP, $60k, Msw, 3yo, f, 7f, 3:01 p.m. ET
Gainesway Stable Hybrid Cute (Empire Maker) premieres on a crowded Saturday night at Gulfstream, and half-to-Class I winner Lukes Alley (Flower Alley) will face a pitch consisting mostly of first-timers. With half-siblings’ successes on both sides—‘Rising star TDN’ Arrifana (Curlin) is the GSP and is the winner of the bet; Lukes Alley has won on both grass and all weather – plus a series of quick morning drills, dirt shouldn’t be a factor. Todd Pletcher sends $390,000 to buy KEESEP Invention (Union Rags) for the Repole Stables and Woodford Racing partnership. She comes from a female lead family of two-hearted women in GI Kentucky Oaks, Secret Status (AP Indy) heroine GISW, and last year’s GI Breeders’ Cup Distaff runner-up Dunbar Road (Quality Sugar), and Private Mission (Into Mischief), who received GIII Torrey Pines S. and GII Zenyatta S. Wish you good (American Freedom) will attempt to justify her connection’s $550,000 FTFMAR (:ten) faith in her at first asked. Half for GSW Chanteline (Majesticperfect) and SW Kell Paso (Divine Park) will post for George Weaver. PP of TJCIS
