QUESTER (c, 3, Into Mischief–Osare {SW, $234,605}, by Medaglia d'Oro)a $775,000 September Keeneland graduate, finished well in becoming the first to sprint for the third time on this surface and was the even-handed choice when extended to the distance on the ground here.
One of two in the field not entered for the card, the perfectly bred bay showed good speed from the inside gate, but was still outpaced by Dunes of Gold (sublieutenant). Content to chase from second down the backstretch, Quester was told to do his best near the stretch, passing the leader with less than an eighth of a mile to race and pulling away.
Quester's winning dam, the $300,000 dam at Keeneland in September, is a daughter of MSW & GSP Bubbler (Distorted Humor), acquired by Eamon Cleary for $170,000 at the Fasig sale -Tipton in November 2010 and was then acquired for $4.7 million at FTKNOV just days after her son Arrogate (Unbridled's Song) defeated California Chrome in the 2016 GI Breeders' Cup Classic. Osare also is the adopted son of a 2-year-old colt out of Into Mischief, a yearling colt by Gun Runner and most recently bred to life is good. Quester is classified as hips 45 at the Keeneland April Horse Racing Sale next Friday. Sales history: $775,000 Ylg '22 KEESEP. Lifetime record: 2-1-0-1, $32,940.
