Godolphin Homebred Civetta Game on Debut at the Pea Patch

[Wandering Eyes]

1st-Ellis, $71,000, Msw, 8-10, 2yo, f, 5 1/2fT, 1:01.84, fm, neck.
CIVETTA (f, 2, Into Mischief–Sentiero Italia {MGSW & MGISP, $994,900}, by Medaglia d'Oro), a half-sister to Santin (Distorted Humor), MGISW, $1,918,820, was a very game winner in Saturday's opener at Ellis Park. The 9-2 chance hounded the debuting $600,000 KEESEP yearling Lovely Emma (Twirling Candy) from the outside through sharp fractions of :21.20 and :44.00 and finally fought her way to the front in deep stretch to graduate by a neck in a race that didn't deserve a loser. After producing a colt by Dubawi (Ire) in 2024, Sentiero Italia was bred back to Tapit. The aforementioned Brendan Walsh-trained Godolphin homebred Santin won the GI Arlington Million and GI Old Forester Bourbon Turf Classic Stakes. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $41,285.
