Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 25, 2019 Journalists Share Posted May 25, 2019 Breeze Easy may be in line for a return trip to Royal Ascot after Karak (f, 2, Karakontie {Jpn}–Down the Well {Ire}, by Mujadil)’s ‘TDN Rising Star’ debut win at Belmont Saturday. Sent off at 8-5 while facing the boys, the bay filly jumped out to the early lead. She was soon joined by stablemate No Nay Maybe (Ire) (No Nay Never) and those two went stride for stride through a half in :45.38. Karak easily surged past that foe with a furlong to run and drew away without being asked to win by three lengths, completing the five furlongs in :57.38. Now Is (Sidney’s Candy) was third. Karak is the first winner for her freshman sire Karakontie (Bernstein). A half-sister to Aqua Frio (Uncle Mo, SW, $177,112), she was purchased by Breeze Easy for $365,000 after working a furlong in :9 4/5 at the OBS March sale. She sold for $22,000 as a Keeneland November weanling and RNA’d for $30,000 at last year’s Keeneland September sale. Sam Ross and Mike Hall’s Breeze Easy won the G2 Norfolk S. at Royal Ascot last year with Shang Shang Shang (Shanghai Bobby). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $60,000. O-Breeze Easy LLC.
