Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 29, 2019 Journalists Share Posted August 29, 2019 CRYSTALLE (f, 2, Palace Malice–Undo, by Flatter), controversially disqualified out of a 41-1 upset on debut Aug. 4 at Saratoga, made amends with a last-to-first success in Thursday’s P.G. Johnson S. at the Spa to become the first stakes winner for freshman sire Palace Malice (by Curlin). Rallying from the back to score going away by 2 1/4 lengths in her career bow, the $220,000 OBS April buy was demoted to third in a much-maligned decision for drifting into a foe from a righty whip. Crushed in the wagering to be favored this time at 8-5, the dark bay walked out of the gate and caboosed the field behind splits of :23.29 and :47.19. Picking it up midway around the far turn, she still had much to do at the sixteenth pole as Sweet Melania (American Pharoah) made a break for it, but finished with a flourish despite racing on her left lead to nail that rival by a neck on the wire. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-1, $70,800. O-Tobey L. Morton & Chuck Hovitz; B-Glendalough LLC (KY); T-John C. Kimmel. The post Crystalle Becomes First Stakes Winner for Palace Malice in P.G.
