[Wandering Eyes]

4th-Belmont, $63,050, Alw, 10-11, (NW1$X), 3yo/up, f/m, 6f, 1:09.40, ft, 2 3/4 lengths.
MOTIVATED SELLER (f, 3, Into Mischief–Coup {SW, $132,637}, by Empire Maker) was spotting plenty of experience to her competition, but performed like an old pro Sunday to go two-for-two off a lengthy lay-off. A six-length debut scorer at Gulfstream Jan. 12, the bay had been based with trainer Chad Brown’s perceived B or C string at Monmouth Park, but was still pounded down to 11-10 shipping up for this. Away on top, Motivated Seller was passed heading into the turn but kept her foothold at the rail. She took back over easily after a :45.52 half, and continued on strongly in the lane to defeat five-time-winning 4-year-old Prairie Fire (Posse) by 2 3/4 lengths. The winner’s 2-year-old half-sister Spun d’Etat (Hard Spun) broke her maiden third out by daylight at Saratoga in August for Tom Amoss. She has a yearling half-sister by Twirling Candy and her dam was bred to City of Light for 2021. Sales history: $160,000 Ylg ’18 FTKOCT. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0, $61,550.
