Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted February 8 Journalists Share Posted February 8 Making a belated career debut as an early 4-year-old, NUIT MAGIQUE (f, 4, Arrogate–Twixy, by Mutakddim) made an eyecatching move to split horses three furlongs from home and widened through the final eighth of a mile to graduate by 10 impressive lengths Saturday afternoon at Oaklawn Park. Pegged at morning-line odds of 9-2, the $255,000 Keeneland September yearling turned $1-million Fasig-Tipton Midlantic breezer, off at 14-5, was under a hustling ride early on from Nik Juarez and was no better than midfield through the opening exchanges before improving into third and wide heading into the turn. Juarez looked for a brief moment that he was going to ask Nuit Magique to chart an overland course on the turn, but he instead sent her inside and she picked up the loose leader approaching the quarter pole. Firmly in front in upper stretch, she lengthened away and had a distance on her rivals at the wire. Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas, of course, called the shots on the careers of two of Arrogate's best progeny, namely GI Kentucky Oaks winner Secret Oath and GI Preakness Stakes hero Seize the Grey. Sales history: $255,000 Ylg '22 KEESEP; $1,000,000 2yo '23 FTMMAY.

The four-year-old filly by Arrogate is trained by D. Wayne Lukas.
