$5-Million Courting Graduates at Aqueduct

[Wandering Eyes]

Whisper Hill Farm, Stonestreet and Windancer Farm's Courting (c, 2, Curlin–Cavorting, by Bernardini), a $5-million Keeneland September graduate, glided to a four-length maiden score at Aqueduct Sunday. The 1-9 favorite, making his second lifetime start, was away alertly and was under a snug hold while setting a moderate early tempo. He shrugged off a challenge from longshot Stream It (Tapit) in upper stretch and sailed down the lane to an easy victory. Grittiness (Curlin) closed late for second. The time for the mile was 1:36.03.

Courting closed to be fourth after a slow start over this same track and distance in his Sept. 27 debut. The handsome chestnut is a son of Grade I winner Cavorting and a full-brother to Grade I winner Clairiere.

Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0. O-Whisper Hill Farm, Stonestreet, Windancer Farm. B-Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings (Ky). T-Todd Pletcher.
