CASALU (Caracaro) was taken home for $775,000 by the Three Amigos–Pegram, Watson and Weitman–at this year's OBS April Sale. Sent to Bob Baffert, the filly posted a four-furlong bullet drill of :46.40 (1/54) at Santa Anita July 8. Out of Key d'Oro (Medaglia d'Oro), the juvenile has a 4-year-old half-sister in SP Twirled (Twirling Candy) and a yearling half-brother by Vekoma. Casalu's second dam is herself a full-sister to sire Yankee Gentleman (Storm Cat). TJCIS PPS

A $700,000 purchase by Chief Stipelas Scharbauer at last year's Keeneland September Sale, the filly is the first registered foal for Gaels Win (Daaher). This dam is a half-sister to GSW T.D. Vance (Rahy) and her extended female family includes MGISP and sire Optimizer (English Channel). TJCIS PPS

Under Kiss Me Slow's third dam, MGISW My Flag (Easy Goer), we find champion 2-year-old filly Storm Flag Flying (Storm Cat). TJCIS PPS
