Justify’s Just Singing Gets the Job Done Against Churchill Maidens

[Wandering Eyes]

1st-Churchill Downs, $118,636, Msw, 10-26, 2yo, f, 1 1/16m, 1:45.70, ft, 3 1/4 lengths.
JUST SINGING (f, 2, Justify–Talkin and Singing, by Songandaprayer) was unveiled at this venue Sept. 27 going a mile on the main track, and made up good ground to run fourth. Given 2-1 odds to improve for this second jump, the eye-catching filly bumped with the outer stall door as she left the gate and had to set up as the caboose in the race. Steadily making up ground on the leaders and coming five wide off the final bend, she overtook the top duo via the grandstand route and kicked on in the lane to win by 3 1/4 lengths over Dancin In Old Town (Tapit).

The victress is a half-sister to Danzing Candy (Twirling Candy), MGSW, $700,930 and Cedartown (Candy Ride {Arg}), MSW, $249,200, who are thus far the only ones to claim black-type for the dam. A half-sister named Sweet Revenge (Candy Ride {Arg}) did go on to become a black-type producer as the mother of the late SP Very Bold (Union Rags). Just Singing is one of five to get her picture taken for Talkin and Singing, who since this filly has produced a pair of Flightline colts–a yearling and a 2025 foal.

The mare is herself a half-sister to GI Breeders' Cup Turf hero MGISW Better Talk Now (Talkin Man) while another sister went on to become the granddam of SP Live High Live Low (Coal Front). Sales history: $300,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $75,300. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
