Structor Steps Up in Pilgrim

[Wandering Eyes]

 Impressive debut winner Structor (Palace Malice) steps up in class Saturday in Belmont’s GIII Pilgrim S. Purchased for $850,000 at OBS March after breezing in :21 1/5, the bay proved easily best in his 1 1/16-mile unveiling at Saratoga Aug. 31.

Also entering off a maiden win is Famished (Uncle Mo). Third in his career bow on the dirt at the Spa Aug. 10, the bay broke his maiden the same day as Structor in a seven-panel main track affair upstate. The John Kimmel trainee tries turf for the first time here.

Wertheimer and Frere homebred No Word (Silent Name {Jpn}) is yet another entry coming off a maiden win on that Aug. 31 card at Saratoga. The dark bay took his 1 1/16-mile career bow by 2 1/4 lengths.

Our Country (Constitution) enters off a fourth-place finish in Saratoga’s GIII With Anticipation S. Aug. 28. He earned his diploma by 5 3/4 lengths at second asking going 1 1/16 miles on the Saratoga lawn Aug. 3.

Also exiting the With Anticipation is third-place finisher Andesite (The Factor)–a debut winner on grass at Indiana July 10–and sixth-place Tuggle (Point of Entry), who was trying turf for the first time in that test. The latter opened his account on the dirt at Belmont June 21 and was third next out in the GII Saratoga Special S. Aug. 10.
