Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 6, 2019 Journalists Share Posted June 6, 2019 1st-BEL, MSW, $90k, 3yo/up, 7f, 12:50 p.m. ET Chad Brown boasts two intriguing prospects in Friday’s Belmont opener. Gainesway bred and owns, in partnership with Peter Brant, first-time starter Per Capita (Tapit). The chestnut colt is out of the Grade III-winning mare Successful Outlook (Orientate) and is a half-brother to Grade I winner and ‘TDN Rising Star’ Sweet Lulu (Mr. Greeley) and a full-brother to multiple graded stakes winner Anchor Down and millionaire Iron First. Ahead of Plan (Big Drama), the even-money chalk on David Aragona’s morning line, returns off a 10-month layoff that last saw the Klavarich Stables color-bearer lose a neck decision after setting all the pace in his Aug. 18 Saratoga debut. He earned a strong 88 Beyer Speed Figure for that outing and was flattered when the third and fourth-place finishers came back to score. The $475,000 OBS April purchase (:10 flat) is a son of the stakes-winning mare Daisy Dukes (Ghazi) and a half-brother to Japanese stakes winner Surplus Singer (Songandaprayer). Christophe Clement trainee Just for One Day (Will Take Charge) was hammered for $210,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Sale in 2017 after selling for $420,000 in utero at the previous year’s Keeneland January sale to current co-owner Highland Yard. The son of MSW Mother Ruth (Speightstown) is a half-brother to last year’s GIII Rancho Bernardo H. winner Yuvetsi (Bodemeister).
