Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 17, 2019 Journalists Share Posted August 17, 2019 American Butterfly (c, 2, American Pharoah–Gracie’s Butterfly, by War Front) RNA’d for $390,000 after breezing an eighth in :11 at this spring’s OBSAPR Sale. He was a well-beaten seventh on debut at the Spa July 21. Adding Lasix here, the 22-1 chance vied for command from the inside through an opening quarter in :22.18. The bay began to let it out a notch approaching the quarter pole and wasn’t for catching in the stretch. It was about three lengths back to Irish Mias (Sky Mesa) in second. Highly regarded firster Candy Tycoon (Twirling Candy), off as the 4-5 chalk, ran well to get up for third after getting bumped at the start and racing in traffic throughout. American Butterfly becomes the eighth winner for his freshman sire (by Pioneerof the Nile). The final time for 6 1/2 furlongs was 1:17.14. Sales history: $390,000 RNA 2yo ’19 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0. O-Les Wagner; B-Edward S. Robbins (Ky); T-D. Wayne Lukas.
