Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 7, 2019 Journalists Share Posted June 7, 2019 Trainer Brad Cox is no stranger to Grade I success on the Belmont S. undercard, having sent out the likes of champion Monomoy Girl (Tapizar) to win the GI Acorn S. last June. While that barn superfilly misses Saturday’s GI Ogden Phipps S. and is being pointed for a later-season campaign, the Cox barn will have its chance to shine Saturday afternoon in the GI Just A Game S. in the form of Beau Recall (Ire) (Sir Prancealot {Ire}), the first of the afternoon’s eight top-level races at Belmont Park. Winner of the 2018 GII Royal Heroine S. over Saturday’s one-mile trip, Beau Recall was transferred to the Cox shedrow late last season and won the Blushing K. D. S. and New Orleans Ladies’ S. around a runner-up effort to future GIII Gallorette S. winner Mitchell Road (English Channel), the half-sister to GI Kentucky Derby winner Country House (Lookin At Lucky). Dismissed at better than 10-1 in the GII Distaff Turf Mile at Churchill May 4, Beau Recall had it all to do from last behind a slow pace, but she came with a stinging rally to outfinish Got Stormy (Get Stormy) by 1 1/4 lengths, with Daddy Is A Legend (Scat Daddy) a head away in third. The once-beaten Rushing Fall (More Than Ready) will attempt to give trainer Chad Brown a third consecutive score in the Just A Game, following on the victories from Antonoe (First Defence) and A Raving Beauty (Ger) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) the last two years. Winner of the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf in 2017, the $320,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling closed her sophomore season with a front-running tally in Keeneland’s GI Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup. The bay made her 4-year-old debut back in Lexington a winning one, holding off stablemate Rymska (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}) and Got Stormy in the GI Coolmore Jenny Wiley S.
