Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 18 Journalists Posted October 18 Zedan Racing's Barnes (c, 3, Into Mischief–All American Dream, by American Pharoah), a $3.2-million Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling, has always been heavy on promise, but perhaps lighter than hoped on actual visits to the winner's circle. That changed Saturday in Keeneland's GIII Perryville Stakes. The Bob Baffert trainee and 8-5 pick shadowed the :21.69 and :44.18 pace set by recent Churchill allowance winner Taylor's Version (Into Mischief), blew by mid-turn, and poured it on down the lane to win by open daylight. GI H. Allen Jerkens Memorial Stakes second Captain Cook (Practical Joke), a 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' who finished 1 1/2 lengths in front of Barnes in that race, was second, while this spring's GIII Tampa Derby winner Owen Almighty (Speightstown) finished third. Last seen fourth in the GII Gallant Bob Stakes at Parx Sept. 20, Barnes won the GII San Vicente Stakes in January and was runner-up to Journalism (Curlin) in the GII San Felipe Stakes in March. He got the Perryville's seven furlongs in 1:23.45. Sales History: $3,200,000 Ylg '23 FTSAUG. O-Zedan Racing Stables; B-Jeff Drown and Don Rachel LLC (Ky.); T-Bob Baffert; J-Jose Ortiz. No one could match with BARNES ($5.22) in the $350,000 Perryville Stakes (G3) at @KeenelandRacing. @jose93_ortiz was up on the @BobBaffert trainee. The 3YO colt is by @spendthriftfarm's Into Mischief.
