Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 19, 2018 Journalists Share Posted April 19, 2018 CHELSEA CLOISTERS (f, 2, First Samurai–Postulant, by Pulpit) took all the money for her debut in Thursday’s opener and Keeneland and ran to it, drawing off powerfully in the lane to a dominant score. Showing several sharp drills, including a local half-mile gate spin in :48 flat (5/86) Apr. 6, the $125,000 Fasig-Tipton July buy broke customarily sharply for a Wesley Ward baby from her inside draw and quickly established command. Challenged briefly by Elle Factor (The Factor) through a :22.60 quarter, the bay stole away on the turn and slammed the door past the furlong grounds en route to a seven-length romp in :51.70. Elle Factor was second-best. The winner is a half to Beggarthyneighbor (Half Ours), SW, $190,217. Her dam is a half to GSW Antrim Rd. (Fit to Fight), while second dam Pretty in Green (Green Forest) is a half to MGISW Wavering Monarch (Majestic Light). Deeper in the female family are MG1SW Motivator (GB) (Montjeu {Ire}), MGISW Goodbye Halo (Halo), dual champion Zilzal (Nureyev), MGISW Awe Inspiring (Slew o’ Gold), MG1SW Culture Vulture (Timeless Moment) and MG1SW Polish Precedent (Danzig). Postulant was bred to Not This Time last spring. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $36,000. O-Hat Creek Racing; B-Alastar Thoroughbred Co (KY); T-Wesley A. Ward.
