Authentic Filly Aggressive Lime Takes Kentucky Downs Opener

[Wandering Eyes]

1st-Kentucky Downs, $162,080, Msw, 8-28, 2yo, f, 1mT, 1:35.90, fm, 4 lengths.
AGGRESSIVE LIME (f, 2, Authentic–Cool Beans {MGSP, $262,650}, by Candy Ride {Arg}) broke from the middle of the gate as the 9-5 favorite and set a hotly-contested pace push every step by Riotous (Charlatan) through the opening half in :47.30. Those two traded the lead back and forth around the far turn but Aggressive Lime found the long Kentucky Downs straight to her liking and powered clear through the final furlong to graduate first out by four lengths. 16-1 longshot Temple Goddess (Temple City) was never in danger of catching the winner but came home a solid second. Cool Beans, herself placed in both the GII Mrs Revere and the GIII Pin Oak Valley View, produced GSP Moneyshot (Frosted) as her first foal in 2021. The dam's half-sister, Smart Win (Smart Strike), is also responsible for GSW/MGISP Clearly Unhinged (Into Mischief) while yet another half-sister foaled GI Arkansas Derby winner Magnum Moon (Malibu Moon). Aggressive Lime has a pair of half-brothers both by Life Is Good born in 2024 and 2025 respectively while Cool Beans went to Cody's Wish this season. Temple Goddess (Temple City) Sales History: $285,000 RNA Ylg'24 FTSAUG. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $102,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
