Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted February 2, 2020 Journalists Share Posted February 2, 2020 HARVEY’S LIL GOIL (f, 3, American Pharoah–Gloria S, by Tapit) started a bit slowly, but finished fast to dominate Sunday’s Busanda S. at Aqueduct and become the fifth black-type winner for her Triple Crown-winning champion first-crop sire. A debut fourth on the local lawn Nov. 9, the grey broke through by an emphatic six-length margin going a mile over the good main track Dec. 12 and was backed down to 3-5 to see out a additional furlong for this. Away last, Harvey’s Lil Goil was hung very wide while trying to make up some ground into the first turn. She settled in out in the clear behind splits of :25.30 and :50.59, and was given an early cue by Junior Alvarado to sweep to the front entering the home bend. Already several lengths clear by the time she hit the top of the lane, she poured it on from there to dominate her competition by upwards of 10 lengths and stop the clock in 1:54.49. Water White (Conveyance) completed the exacta. The winner is out of an unraced half-sister to 2012 GI Kentucky Derby and GI Preakness S. winner I’ll Have Another (Flower Alley), who was also bred by the late Harvey Clarke, and to stablemate Golden Award (Medaglia d’Oro), winner of the GIII Turnback the Alarm H. over track and trip in November. Gloria S produced a Cairo Prince colt last February before being bred back to that former Clarke co-owned runner. Lifetime Record: 3-2-0-0. O-Estate of Harvey A Clarke & Braverman; B-Harvey A Clarke (Ky); T-William I Mott.
