Scottish Lassie Half-Sister Off The Mark On Churchill Debut

[Wandering Eyes]

5th-Churchill Downs, $94,094, Msw, 9-17, 2yo, f, 6f, 1:11.09, ft, 2 1/4 lengths.
SCOT'S LAW (f, 2, Tiz the Law–Bodebabe, by Bodemeister) was secured for just $50,000 at last year's Keeneland September Sale a handful of weeks before her half-sister Scottish Lassie (McKinzie, $677,560), took out the GI Frizette Stakes at Aqueduct.

Taking advantage of this auction-price restricted spot, but lightly regarded at 15-1 on debut, the chestnut bounced nicely from the inside stall and galloped her rivals along at a modest tempo while being pressed along by second-time starter Noroomformischief (Maximus Mischief). Scot's Law began to gain the upper hand in upper stretch and kept on in the final eighth of a mile to graduate by 2 1/2 lengths.

Scottish Lassie, one of three Grade I winners set to contest this Saturday's GI Cotillion Stakes at Parx, has done her part to further enhance her year-younger half-sister's value with a 15 1/2-length romp in the GI CCA Oaks at Saratoga July 19.

The current yearling out of Bodebabe is a Corniche colt that was sold to Saffie Joseph, Jr. for $435,000 at Keeneland September and the mare was most recently covered by Practical Joke after failing to produce a foal this year. This is the family of Grade I winners Visionaire (Grand Slam) and Tara's Tango (Unbridled's Song). Sales history: $50,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $52,320.
