[Wandering Eyes]

3rd-GP, $94k, Msw, 3yo, 5fT, 1:50p.m. ET
Profiled last year by our colleagues at TDN Europe, Benny The Waiter (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}) has been shipped to the states to make his US debut in a turf dash at Gulfstream Park. A 280,000gns Craven Breeze-Up purchase by Repole Stables, this is the half-brother to GSP-Eng Space Legend (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) while his dam, unraced Newton's Angel (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), is herself a half-sister to SW-Ire & GSP-Fr Treasure Isle (Ire) (No Nay Never). The group black type picks up speed beneath the third dam with successful runners being tallied across Europe. Benny The Waiter ran sixth on his Deauville debut for trainer Jerome Reynier. He has since been gelded and moved to the shedrow of Anthony Sciametta Jr. for this jump, which will also be his first with Lasix.  TJCIS PPs

5th-CNL, $75k, Msw, 3yo, 1m, 2:18p.m. ET
Likely to take the lion's portion of attention in this Colonial Downs maiden special, Lion of Justice (Into Mischief) debuts here for the partnership of St. Elias Stable, Talla Racing, West Point Thoroughbreds, and C J Stable from the barn of Brad Cox. Out of 'TDN Rising Star' GSW Ever So Clever (Medaglia d'Oro), the $1.1-million KEESEP purchase in 2023 has been working steadily at Payson Park and enters this race with a healthy string of them under his belt since last December. The dam has already produced a graded winning full-brother named Everso Mischievous as well as another full-sibling one year older to Lion of Justice who is a four-time winner. The morning line has this one tabbed at 3-2 odds.  TJCIS PPs

6th-CNL, $75k, Msw, 3yo, 6f, 2:53p.m. ET
One race later at Colonial and another million-dollar auction buy is debuting for big name connections, this time named Verifire (Authentic) for Resolute Racing, out of the Brad Cox barn. A $1-million grad of last year's OBSMAR sale, he's out of SP Ruby Trust (Smart Strike), who herself is out of GSW Queen ofthe Catsle (Tale of the Cat).   TJCIS PPs

8th-GP, $94k, Msw, 3yo, 6f, 4:20p.m. ET
A princely $3-million buy at KEESEP in 2023, Vibe (Into Mischief) debuts for the partnership of Repole Stable, West Point Thoroughbreds, CJ Stables, Woodford Racing, Lane's End Racing, and Patrick McGee from the barn of Anthony Sciametta Jr. While he is a half-brother to GISW Outwork (Uncle Mo), perhaps his most notable sibling thus far is half-sister Nonna Bella (Stay Thirsty), who is responsible for 'TDN Rising Star' juvenile champion MGISW Fierceness (City of Light) and his full-brother, track record-setter GSW Mentee. The second dam MSW Holy Bubbette (Holy Bull) claims MGSW Cairo Prince (Pioneerof the Nile) to her credit and is herself a half-sibling to GSW Sum Runner (Summing).

To his inside is Activity (Into Mischief) for owner/breeder William S. Farish, who retained the colt after he RNA'd at KEESEP in 2023 for $390,000. Out of Sea Gull (Mineshaft), this is a half-brother to MGSW Catalina Cruiser (Union Rags) and MGSW & GISP Royal Flag (Candy Ride {Arg}).  TJCIS PPs
