Saturday Insights: Cairo Prince Colt Looks To Back Up Big Debut

[Wandering Eyes]

UNMATCHED WISDOM (Cairo Prince) caught a muddy local strip and the outside post for his one-mile debut May 10, but turned in an eye-catching performance in scoring by better than six lengths while earning a 98 Beyer Speed Figure that is 12 points higher than any number posted by any of his five rivals in this first-level allowance. From the deeper female family of Stormy Atlantic, Bandini and three-time G1 Dubai Turf winner Lord North (Ire), the sophomore colt cost just $25,000 as a Keeneland September yearling before blossoming into a $450,000 purchase by the Klaravich braintrust at last year's OBS March Sale.

IT'S WITCHCRAFT (Tapit) is the first produce for Lady's Island (Greatness), a two-time graded winner on the main track, who was purchased by Gainesway for $300,000 at the Fasig-Tipton February Sale in 2021. Unsurprisingly covered by Tapit a short time after her acquisition, Lady's Island produced this filly in February 2022 and D J Stable signed the winning ticket on her at $1.1 million at last year's Keeneland September Sale. The mare is also represented by a yearling Tapit colt and foaled a colt by the standout stallion this season after she was bought back on a bid of $575,000 at Keeneland November last fall.

More success for @Gainesway in the ring!

A $600,000 Keeneland September purchase, DOTHRAKI (Into Mischief) gets his career started for the SF/Starlight/Madaket et al partnership. The Mar. 30 foal looks to become a sixth winner for his dam Vanquished (Empire Maker), herself responsible for three-time graded winner Takeover Target (Harlan's Holiday) and the stakes-winning Ladies' Privilege (Harlan's Holiday), whose son More Than Looks (More Than Ready) won last year's GIII Manila S. Vanquished is a half-sister to two-time Grade I winner Critical Eye (Dynaformer). The cross of Into Mischief over Empire Maker has accounted for GI Kentucky Derby-winning 'TDN Rising Star' Mandaloun and G1 Dubai World Cup hero Laurel River. TJCIS PPs
