Jan. 18 Insights: Debuters Carry Colors for Noteworthy Female Families

[Wandering Eyes]

11th-GP, $94k, Msw, 3yo, 1 1/16mT, 5:18p.m. ET
Unveiled to the far outside is $350,000 OBSAPR pick up NUK SOO KOW (McKinzie) for Hit The Bid Stable and trainer John Terranova. Out of a placed half-sister to GI Champagne Stakes runner-up Commandperformance (Union Rags), the colt hails from the female family of GSW Blind Date (Not for Love), dam of MSW Paulita (Scat Daddy). To the far outside and making a second jump for trainer Chad Brown is Constitution Road (Constitution). He overcame a rough trip on debut as a juvenile where he was jostled at the start, bumped in upper stretch, and then again near the sixteenth pole, but as green as he was, gamely got up for second behind a winner who enjoyed a perfect trip. A $300,000 KEESEP purchase and a half-brother to MGSW Miss Marissa (He's Had Enough), he's got first-time Lasix here for the 3-year-old bow. TJCIS PPs

9th-TAM, $53k, Msw, 3yo, 1mT, 4:15p.m. ET
Breaking from the middle of a relatively experienced field of maidens is Godolphin's Twelve Treasures (Candy Ride {Arg}). Out of an unplaced daughter of GI Breeders' Cup Distaff victress Unbridled Elaine (Unbridled's Song), the chestnut is trained by Eoin Harty. His dam's half-siblings include MGSW Etched (Forestry); GSW-Eng, GSP-UAE Emotionless (Ire) (Shamardal); and GSW, GSP-UAE Out Of Bounds (Discreet Cat). Under that illustrious second dam is the extended female family of 'TDN Rising Star' MGSW Nysos (Nyquist). This is the immediate family of GISW & MGISP Glitter Woman (Glitterman) and her son GISW & MGISP Political Force (Unbridled's Song), and MGSW Lead Story (Editor's Note). TJCIS PPs

7th-FG, $60k, Msw, 3yo, 1 1/16m, 4:00p.m. ET
Heading to post here for Brookdale Racing Inc., Hypnus (Into Mischief) looks to make a statement while in training with Ken McPeek. Out of GI Starlet Stakes victress Dream Tree (Uncle Mo), he is her second to the races behind the placed half-sister Wimberly (Curlin), who brought $700,000 as a yearling in 2022 through KEESEP. Another half-sister by Gun Runner went through that same ring in 2024 but was an RNA at $575,000. Dream Tree is herself a half-sister to SP O' Maggi (Paddy O'Prado) and to the winning dam of SP Experimental (Practical Joke).  TJCIS PPs
