Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 29, 2020 Journalists Share Posted August 29, 2020 Sent off right at his morning line of 6-1, Jeff Drown and Don Rachel’s FOUNDER (c, 2, Upstart–Blue Beryl, by Bernstein) looked to have it all to do at the midpoint of his career debut Saturday at Saratoga, but he caught the eye with a rail run into the stretch, came out at the eighth pole, raced as green as the boggy grass and improbably ran down his better-backed stablemate Highly Motivated (Into Mischief) to open his account at first asking. A $220,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase, the bay colt was knocked down to Mike Ryan, agent for the same connections that race GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf hero Structor (Palace Malice), for $600,000 at OBS March after breezing a quarter-mile in :21 flat. Founder is the fourth winner for his first-crop sire (by Flatter). O-Jeff Drown & Don Rachel; B-Lantern Hill Farm LLC (KY); T-Chad Brown.
