[Wandering Eyes]

6th-DMR, $100K, Msw, 2yo, 5 1/2f, 7:11 p.m. ET.
A pair of pricey colts under the care of Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert make their first starts as the seaside oval closes out its summer meet on Sunday.

BOYD (Violence) is a Fasig-Tipton Midlantic May auction buy for Zedan Racing, who made the chestnut the second topper at the sale when they went to $1.05-million to acquire him. Initially, this future Baffert trainee was an $82,000 Fasig-Tipton Fall Mixed sale grad then went for $280,000 during Keeneland September. A half-sister to Canadian SW Silver Highlight (Silver Charm), GSW Street Sounds (Street Cry {Ire}) and Canadian MGSW Tower of Texas (Street Sense), unraced dam A Taste of Red (Street Boss) was taken home for $27,000 at the 2022 Keeneland November sale by Nassar Omirah while Boyd was in-utero.

Also poised for his debut is Cherokee Nation (Not This Time). The colt was a $240,000 Fasig-Tipton November purchase, then the bay went to SF, Starlight and Madaket for $1.15-million during Keeneland September. His dam is SW Believe in Charlie (Indian Charlie), a half-sister to MSW Shamrocket (Tonalist). TJCIS PPS
