A $650,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga acquisition, Madaket Road (Quality Road) was pitched in against Grade III competition when making his career debut a fast-paced renewal of the GIII Bob Hope Stakes at Del Mar Nov. 17 and he gave an excellent account of himself when runner-up to the promising Bullard (Gun Runner). Juan Hernandez takes over on the half-brother to MSW Bode's Dream (Bodemeister), whose Grade II-winning dam Frolic's Dream (Smoke Glacken) is a half-sister to GSW/GISP Mokat (Uncle Mo). Father Ted (Practical Joke), a $150,000 Keeneland September yearling, matured into a $475,000 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic juvenile after breezing a furlong in :10 1/5. The Ontario-bred is out of a winning half-sister to Three Echoes (Echo Town), third in this year's GIII Sanford Stakes. TJCIS PPs ICYMI: Watch Hip 1023 c.
