Charlatan’s Easy Decision Off The Mark In Aqueduct Maiden

[Wandering Eyes]

EASY DECISION (c, 3, Charlatan–All Laced Up, by Bernardini) was unveiled as the 9-5 choice here. The chalk initially took on longshot pacesetter Lord King (King for a Day), but was reigned in to stalk up the backstretch.

Taking aim at the leader and Complex Charlie (Complexity) around the far turn and into the lane, the 3-year-old was forced to tip to an outside lane. The bay became uncorked, struck the front with a furlong left and graduated by 6 1/4 lengths. Complex Charlie was the runner-up.

A $120,000 buy for Gainesway at the 2022 Keeneland November Sale while Easy Decision was in utero, All Laced Up produced back to back siblings–a filly and a colt–by Olympiad starting in 2024. The winner's dam was bred to Muth for this spring.

The Repole color bearer is part of an extended female family which includes MGISW Got Stormy (Get Stormy), MSW Sir Alfred James (Munnings) and recent $2.5-million Keeneland November grad & MGISW Randomized (Nyquist), who is off to Japan.

7th-Aqueduct, $80,000, Msw, 2-11, 3yo, 6 1/2f, 1:19.30, ft, 6 1/4 lengths.
