FULL-BROTHER TO WORLD OF TROUBLE DEBUTS AT THE SPA

6th-SAR, $90K, Msw, 2yo, 5 1/2f T, 3:55p.m.

Wesley Ward unveils a full-brother to MGISW World of Trouble Wednesday in ALFIE SOLOMONS (Kantharos). The $285,000 KEESEP buy gets his career started on turf, the same surface on which his brother is a treble stakes winner, including a last out score in the GI Jaipur S. and close second in last term’s GI Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint S. World of Trouble is also a top-level scorer on dirt, having won the GI Carter H. at Aqueduct in April. Alfie Solomons is also a half-sibling to stakes winner Money or Love (J Be K) and his dam is a half to MGSW turf sprinter Bucchero (Kantharos). Another firster with a grassy pedigree is the Graham Motion-trained Irish Mias (Sky Mesa). The New Jersey-bred is a half to stakes winner Regally Irish (Regal Ransom) and their dam is a half-sister to MGSW and GI Belmont S. runner-up Irish War Cry (Curlin), as well as MGSW turfer Irish Strait (English Channel). Motion saddles another first time starter in Close Shave (Uncle Mo), a son of MSW Awesome Ashley (Unbridled’s Song), who is out of MGISW Queens Court Queen (Lyphard). TJCIS PPs
