Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 2, 2019 Journalists Share Posted September 2, 2019 Basin (c, 2, Liam’s Map–Appenzell, by Johannesburg) put on a show in the Saratoga slop while making his stakes debut in Monday’s GI Runhappy Hopeful S., leading home a one-two-three finish for Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen. The 3-1 chance broke sharply from his outside draw and found a perfect spot stalking a pair of dueling leaders in third. He revved up while three deep as they hit the quarter pole and he turned on the afterburners from there to score by six lengths. ‘TDN Rising Stars’ Shoplifted (Into Mischief) and Gozilla (Flatter) were second and third, respectively. The final time for seven furlongs was 1:23.48. Basin kicked off his career with a close second as the even-money favorite behind By Your Side (Constitution) in a June 14 maiden at Churchill and was flattered when that rival came back to take the GIII Sanford S. July 13. Basin earned his diploma at second asking at the Spa July 21 by 1 1/4 lengths over Three Technique (Mr. Speaker), who earned his ‘TDN Rising Star’ badge with an impressive maiden victory at the Spa Saturday. Basin is the first black-type winner for his freshman sire (by Unbridled’s Song) Sales history: $150,000 yrl ’18 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 3-2-1-0.
