Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 15, 2018 Journalists Share Posted June 15, 2018 Stuart Janney’s Romantic Moment (Flatter) looks to remain perfect on turf in Saturday’s GIII Regret S. at Churchill Downs. Fourth when unveiled in a main track sprint at Gulfstream on Christmas Eve, the Shug McGaughey pupil was third next out on the dirt in Hallandale a month later. Switched to the sod and extended to nine furlongs, the $425,000 KEESEP buy earned her diploma by a head at Gulfstream Feb. 19 and took her turf record to two-for-two over a yielding Keeneland course Apr. 26. Hinkle Farms homebred Stave (Ghostzapper) also steps up in class off back-to-back victories. Fourth in her first two attempts at Fair Grounds this winter, the Larry Jones pupil graduated by 6 3/4 lengths at Keeneland Apr. 20 and followed suit with a course-and-distance allowance win May 19. Unlike Romantic Moment and Stave, Heavenly Love (Malibu Moon) has plenty of stakes experience and is even a Grade I winner on dirt, taking last year’s Darley Alcibiades S. at Keeneland. Off the board in her next three attempts over the main track, all in stakes company, the bay tried turf for the first time last out in Keeneland’s GII Appalchian S. Apr. 8, where she finished sixth behind ‘TDN Rising Star’ Rushing Fall (More Than Ready). View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
