Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted 5 hours ago Journalists Share Posted 5 hours ago 6th-Santa Anita, $61,000, Msw, 5-10, 3, 4,/5yo, 6 1/2f, 1:14.98, ft, 1 1/4 lengths. SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN (r, 3, Mitole–Midnight Magic, by Midnight Lute), a $250,000 yearling turned $750,000 2-year-old, faced older rivals Saturday on debut for Bob Baffert including well-met stablemate Sierra Silver (Game Winner) who was last third behind 'TDN Rising Star' and GI Preakness Stakes entrant Goal Oriented (Not This TIme). Showing speed from an outside draw, the 7-2 second choice led from the first jump, rationing his speed ahead of his stablemate through fractions of :22.08 and :44.79. That pair turned for home one-two and stayed that way to the line as Southern Gentleman kept finding on the lead to outrun Sierra Silver by 1 1/4 lengths. Midnight Magic, already the dam of both Midnight Stroll (Not This Time), GSW, $447,142 and Atthecrossroads (Practical Joke), SP, $159,280, sold to Clarkland Farm last year for $300,000 at KEENOV in foal to Forte. She foaled that colt earlier this season. Sales History: $250,000 Ylg '23 OBSOCT; $725,000 2yo '24 OBSMAR. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $36,000.
