Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 23, 2019 Journalists Share Posted November 23, 2019 ANCIENT WARRIOR (c, 2, Constitution–Wellington Beauty, by Forestry) headed into this unveiling with five straight bullet breezes, capped by a :48 1/5 move from the gate here Nov. 17. Away at 2-1, the bay seized command from the gate to dole out splits of :22.10 and :45.13. He was challenged at the head of the lane by race favorite Garth (Into Mischief)–second to GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile upsetter Storm the Court (Court Vision) on debut and unseen since finishing a distant sixth in a weirdly run GI Del Mar Futurity Sept. 2–but quickly slammed the door on that foe before opening up to air by five lengths in 1:09.72. Fellow firster Snap Chap (Into Mischief), a $1.2-million KEESEP yearling, was devoid of early speed but made a big move to be fourth. The winner becomes the 23rd for his first-crop sire (by Tapit), whose impressive first group of runners include the likes of leading soon-to-be sophomores Tiz the Law and Independence Hall. Ancient Warrior is the first foal out of his winning dam, who was claimed for $4,000 out of her final start in 2015. Wellington Beauty produced a Constitution filly earlier this term. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. O/B-Al Graziani (Ky). T-Jerry Hollendorfer.
