Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted January 15, 2021 Journalists Share Posted January 15, 2021 Sponsored by Alex Nichols Agency 4th-FG, $50K, Msw, 3yo, 6f, post time: 2.29 p.m. ET A number of freshly minted sophomores who were pricey sales horses kick off their careers in this six-panel maiden, led by Tom Durant’s RUN CLASSIC (Runhappy), a $475,000 OBS purchase (:20 3/5) and the highest-priced juvenile to sell by his sire. Trainer Bret Calhoun sends him to post, where he will have to face former $650,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling Constituency (Candy Ride {Arg}). The CHC Inc. and WinStar Farm runner, who is conditioned by Dallas Stewart, is out of stakes-placed Zermatt (Tiznow) from the family of Breeders’ Cup champ and MGISW Rushing Fall (More Than Ready). They’ll both have to get by Susan Moulton’s Gunner Paul (Exaggerator), a $150,000 OBS buy (:10 2/5), whose one-year older half-sister, Merneith (American Pharoah), ended 2020 with a listed stakes win at Keeneland on Breeders’ Cup Saturday before a third in the GI La Brea S. at Santa Anita. Gunner Paul hails from the barn of Wayne Catalano. On the also-eligible list is OXO Equine’s Koolhaus (Nyquist), a $600,000 Keeneland November weanling whose dam is a half-sister to champion Lady Eli (Divine Park) and MGSW Bizzy Caroline (Afleet Alex). He’s one of two Brad Cox entrants in the field.
