Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted December 26, 2020 Journalists Share Posted December 26, 2020 John Sondereker’s Kiss Today Goodbye (c, 3, Cairo Prince–Savvy Hester, by Heatseeker {Ire}) swooped to the lead in the dying strides to upset the field in the GII San Antonio S. at Santa Anita Saturday. The 15-1 shot settled at the back of the pack as heavy favorite Mucho Gusto (Mucho Macho Man) shadowed Take the One O One (Acclamation) through fractions of :23.83 and :47.81. Mucho Gusto moved up to challenge the pacesetter from the outside at the top of the lane as Idol (Curlin) put in his bid along the rail. The three looked set to battle it out to the wire, but Kiss Today Goodbye unleashed a powerful late rally down the center of the track to just get on top by a half-length on the wire. Idol was second and Take the One O One third. Mucho Gusto settled for fourth in his first start since a fourth-place effort in the Feb. 29 Saudi Cup. The time for the 1 1/16 miles was 1:43.37. Third behind Thousand Words (Pioneerof the Nile) in the Aug. 1 Shared Belief S. at Del Mar, Kiss Today Goodbye moved to the lawn to finish fifth in the Sept. 6 GII Del Mar Derby and fourth in the Oct. 18 GII Twilight Derby. He returned to the main track to win a one-mile optional claimer at Del Mar last time out Nov. 14. The dark bay colt was a $150,000 purchase at the 2018 Keeneland January sale. Lifetime Record: 11-3-0-3. O-John Sondereker. B-Debmar Stables (Ky). T-Eric Kruljac.
