Vino Rosso’s Tuscan Sky Airs At First Asking at the Big A

[Wandering Eyes]

A clear 7-2 second choice on debut taking on 3-4 Have You Heard (Hard Spun), Spendthrift Farm's TUSCAN SKY (c, 3, Vino Rosso–South Andros, by Sky Mesa) found his best stride entering the final furlong and streaked home to open his account impressively at first asking in the Saturday opener from Aqueduct.  Tuscan Sky won the break and took his four rivals along through the opening furlong, but Have You Heard wrested command before the half-mile marker as the debuting Ambition (Street Sense) tried to press the pace around the turn. Tuscan Sky traveled with a bit of a high head carriage down the backstretch and was third into the turn, but didn't look to be loving the rain-affected conditions under foot and was one-paced three wide nearing the stretch. But produced wide into the lane by Manny Franco, the $200,000 Fasig-Tipton July purchase jumped into the bridle and quickened up nicely to report home about a five-length winner. Sales history: $200,000 Ylg '22 FTKJUL. O-Spendthrift Farm LLC; B-Sierra Farm (KY); T-Todd Pletcher.
