McKinzie Filly Toaster Too Tough On Los Al Debut

[Wandering Eyes]

Toaster (McKinzie) firmed into even-money favoritism at the off, took command of what appeared to be a wide-open race in upper stretch and kept on nicely to graduate at first asking Friday at Los Alamitos.

Drawn one from the outside, the $247,000 Fasig-Tipton October yearling turned $525,000 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic breezer showed enough early toe to track the pace from well off the inside beneath Juan Hernandez.

Allowed to stride into the lead approaching the long straight, Toaster was asked for her best five away from the fence leaving the quarter pole and withstood all challenges to the wire, prevailing by a bit more than a length.

Toaster is the second winner out of an unplaced half-sister to SW & GSP Quiet Dance (Quiet American), whose dozen winners include Horse of the Year & MGISW Saint Liam (Saint Ballado), GISW Funtastic (More Than Ready) and GSW Quiet Giant (Giant's Causeway).

3rd-Los Alamitos, $46,500, Msw, 12-12, 2yo, f, 6 1/2f, 1:16.62, ft, 1 1/4 lengths.
