Blue-Blooded Curlin Filly Impressive in Oaklawn Debut

[Wandering Eyes]

CASUAL (f, 3, Curlin–Lady Tak {MGISW}, by Mutakddim), off at 9-2 following a string of sharp morning works, settled just behind the leading draft led by Millennium Force (Declaration of War) through a quick :21.60 quarter. Still cruising through a half in :44.85, Casual was locked and loaded turning for home, but was still blocked behind a wall of horses. Finally finding the sliver of daylight she needed, the chestnut cut her way through rivals in the stretch, and forged to the front in the final strides to score by a half-length over Silverbella (Tapizar) with favored Cynical Girl (Strong Mandate) third. Final time for the six-furlong test was 1:09.24. Out of MGISW and millionaire Lady Tak (Mutakddim), the winner is a half-sister to SW & GSP Japanese runner and millionaire A Shin Spartan (Zensational and SW Melody Lady (Unbridled’s Song), who is the dam of SW & GSP Buy Sell Hold (Violence).

Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $36,000. O/B-Hill ‘n’ Dale Equine Holdings Inc. & Stretch Run Ventures LLC; T-Steve Asmussen.
