    • 5 – TEAM PLAYER, DMR, 11/30-2nd, 5 1/2 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure-83 (g, 3, by Majestic Harbor-Team Decision, by Huddle Up) O-Susan and William Boyd, Kelly and Edwin Gredvig, and Michelle Hanson. B-Harris Farms and Double D Farms (Cal). T-Ryan Hanson. J-Kazushi Kimura. His six siblings to race–all California-breds like him–made a combined 41 starts and none reached the performance level of an 80 Beyer Speed Figure, which Team Player exceeded quite nicely in his second lifetime outing.   4 – VITAL MIND, CD, 11/28-12th, 6 1/2 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure-83 (c, 3, by Into Mischief-She's a Julie, by Elusive Quality) O-CHC and WinStar Farm. B-Spendthrift Farm (Ky). T-Steve Asmussen. J-Jose Ortiz. One of Asmussen's all-time favorite horses, She's a Julie was named for his now-recovered wife as she was battling throat cancer–and aside from those obvious emotions, it didn't hurt that the namesake won two Grade Is, $1.6 million, and was sold to Spendthrift for $3 million after her career. So who better than Asmussen to train She's a Julie's first foal? This was the second start for the $600k yearling buy, who was second at Oaklawn on debut.   3 – GLOBAL AVIATOR, GP, 11/29-3rd, 6 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 84 (c, 3, by Global Campaign-Frisco Girl, by Quality Road) O-Special Aviators. B-Robert M. Evans (Ky). T-Rohan Crichton. J-Joe Bravo. Two storylines here: first, Global Aviator makes this list despite hesitating at the break to drop 8 lengths last and winning anyway after a 4- to 5-wide move around the turn. And secondly, he was a $12k yearling out of an ex-claimer dam whose first foal sold for $8k, which at this point matters solely as an example of the vagaries of the sport.   2 – AEOLIAN, CD, 11/27-8th, 1 mile  (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 84 (f, 3, by Tapit-Danzatrice, by Dunkirk) O-Gainesway Stable. B-Gainesway Thoroughbreds (Ky). T-Chad Brown. J-Jose Ortiz. Aeolian didn't get far in her 2-year-old training and was sidelined again this spring in Florida but now has progressed steadily in three starts this summer and fall. She's a full-sister to Grade I winner and stallion Tapit Trice, purchased for $1.3 million as a yearling by Mandy Pope, who went back in for $1.1 million a year later for another filly full-sibling. Gainesway's Antony Beck kept this one.   1 – CANNONEER, CD, 11/29-12th, 6 1/2 furlongs  (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 89 (c, 2, by Into Mischief-Catch the Moon, by Malibu Moon) O-St. Elias Stables and Stonestreet Stable. B-Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings (Ky). T-Brad Cox. J-Irad Ortiz Jr. Visually and by numbers, the most impressive winner of Saturday's Stars of Tomorrow card at Churchill. Not only did the $1.75 million yearling win by 7 ¼ lengths in fast time, he kept his composure despite a loose horse getting in his way down the backstretch. Into Mischief gives his pedigree an upgrade on paper over half-siblings Midnight Bourbon ($3.6 million-earning son of Tiznow), Girvin (Haskell winner of $1.6 million, son of Tale of Ekati) and graded winners Cocked and Loaded (Colonel John) and Pirate's Punch (Shanghai Bobby).

    • Nope.  Just don't slander V'Landys on here.  I'd to have to moderate your amusing posts.
    • Hahaha, well certainly not in NZ, since when was media independent.  Were they not all bribed when taking money from the Public Interest Journalism Fund Independent media exists to scrutinise powerful institutions and hold them to account, even if critical of leadership.
