Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 4, 2019 Journalists Share Posted May 4, 2019 MITOLE (c, 4, Eskendereya–Indian Miss, by Indian Charlie), the brilliant winner of his last five races heading into this toughest test of his career, continued to make his case as America’s best sprinter with a convincing four-length tally in Saturday’s GI Churchill Downs S. Having last been seen taking the GIII Count Fleet Sprint H. at Oaklawn by daylight, the 2-1 chalk was stretching out beyond six panels for the first time in his career. He pressed splits of :22.38 and :44.71, and had too much in the tank for his fellow frontrunners, kicking clear of Bobby’s Wicked One (Speightstown) by four lengths. Promises Fulfilled (Shackleford) was third. The winner, representing the same trainer, jockey and co-owners as GI Humana Distaff S. upsetter Mia Mischief (Into Mischief), stopped the clock in 1:21.21. Sales history: $20,000 yrl ’16 KEESEP; $140,000 2yo ’17 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 10-7-2-1. O-L. William & Corinne Heiligbrodt. B-Edward A. Cox, Jr. (Ky). T-Steven M Asmussen.
