Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 16 Journalists Posted October 16 3rd-Keeneland, $110,000, Msw, 10-16, 2yo, 7f, 1:23.84, ft, 3 lengths. CONFESSIONAL (c, 2, Essential Quality–Speedy Vanessa, by American Pharoah) outran his 12-1 odds to graduate first out Thursday and become the 10th winner for his freshman sire (by Tapit). Wide of the speed from his outer draw, he stalked just off frontrunning Grand Slam Sam (American Pharoah) past the half-mile pole. Pushing past that rival into the stretch, he opened up three lengths to the wire. 'Insight' runners Colossus (Constitution) and Our Forefathers (Constitution) finished sixth and eighth respectively. Speedy Vanessa, purchased for $280,000 at KEENOV last year in foal to Yaupon, is a half-sister to GI Central Bank Ashland winner Karlovy Vary (Dynaformer), herself the dam of MGSW/MGISP Mean Mary (Scat Daddy) and GSW/GISP Bye Bye Melvin (Uncle Mo). The Yaupon filly she produced this year will return to the KEENOV ring next month while Speedy Vanessa is due back to Life Is Good. Sales History: $160,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $63,085. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV. O-Steve Landers Racing LLC; B-Breed First LLC (KY); T-Brad H.
