Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 21, 2019 Journalists Share Posted July 21, 2019 Basin (c, 2, Liam’s Map–Appenzell, by Johannesburg) kicked off his career with a close-up second behind By Your Side (Constitution) in a June 14 maiden at Churchill and that form was flattered when that rival came back to take the GIII Sanford S. in his next start. Installed the 2-1 second choice behind favored Three Technique (Mr Speaker) this time, Basin took to the front early and slugged it out with Federale (Dsicreetly Mine) through an opening quarter mile in :22.32. Federale was soon spent, but Basin continued on as Yankee Empire (Cairo Prince) and Three Technique began to make their presence known. Turning for home, Basin was in the clear and Three Technique was doing his best running up along the inside, however, the frontrunner had too much left in reserve and powered home a two-length winner over Three Technique. 11-1 chance Lucky Curlin (Curlin) closed to be third. With the victory, Basin became the first winner for his freshman sire (by Unbridled’s Song). Final time for six furlongs was 1:09.77. Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, $73,000.
