Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 30, 2019 Journalists Share Posted June 30, 2019 VALIANCE (f, 3, Tapit–Last Full Measure, by Empire Maker) increased her record to three-for-three while earning lucrative black-type in Sunday’s Open Mind S. at Monmouth Park. A debut winner at Gulfstream Apr. 13, the $650,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga grad doubled up in a course-and-distance allowance May 27 and was off at 3-1 facing a solid group of sophomore fillies. Away well, the grey settled in to sit third as the field strung out heading into the first turn. She grabbed a foothold at the fence heading down the backside, and was given her cue to quicken after a half in :47.15. Ranging up out wide hitting the lane, she leveled off in midstretch to wear down Ellyb (Pioneerof the Nile) and kick away. Her Royal Highness (Paddy O’Prado) uncorked a powerful late rally to cut it close late, but came up about 3/4 of a length short of Valiance. Ellyb held third. The winner stopped the clock in 1:41.84. China horse club paid $1.5 million for Grade I winner Last Full Measure–herself a daughter of MGISW Lazy Slusan (Slewvescent)–at the 2014 Keeneland November Sale in foal to War Front. Sales history: $650,000 yrl ’17 FTSAUG. Lifetime Record: 3-3-0-0. O-Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, Martin S. Schwartz & China Horse Club International Ltd. B-China Hose Club International Ltd (Ky).
