Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 17, 2018 Journalists Share Posted June 17, 2018 STRONG WILL (c, 2, Strong Mandate–Magestic Stinger, by Majestic Warrior) the co-third-priciest juvenile at this year’s OBS March sale when he went for $775,000 after a powerful :9 4/5 bullet breeze, began paying back that purchase price with an expected debut score Sunday afternoon at Arlington Park. Backed down to 1-5 favoritism facing just four foes, the bay rushed past his rivals to quickly open up and dole out an opening splits of :22.87. Challenged turning for home, he kept on to fend off pesky longshot newcomer Dazzling Truths (Yes It’s True) by about two lengths in :52.29. Strong Will is the first winner for his freshman sire (by Tiznow), winner of the 2013 GI Hopeful S. as a juvenile. Picked up for $25,000 in utero at the 2016 Keeneland January sale, Strong Will was a $37,000 Keeneland November weanling and $47,000 OBS Winter Mixed sale short yearling buy-back. His Tonalist half-brother cost $70,000 at KEENOV last year and his dam dropped an Outwork colt Jan. 28. Trainer Larry Rivelli and owner Carolyn Wilson also teamed up to purchase a Munnings filly for $275,000 out of the same Wavertree Stables consignment they picked Strong Will up out of. That filly, eventually named O’Keeffe, scored first out here May 27. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. O-Carolyn Wilson. B-Golden Pedigree LLC (Ky). T-Larry Rivelli.
