Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 7, 2018 Journalists Share Posted April 7, 2018 NATIONAL FLAG (c, 3, Speightstown–Date to Remember, by Bernardini) became the latest highlight in an incredible run of stakes success for the powerful team of WinStar Farm, China Horse Club and SF Racing as he flew home in the Aqueduct stretch like he was shot out of a cannon to take the GIII Bay Shore S. at Aqueduct Saturday by some five lengths. Last year’s GIII Futurity S. winner Engage (Into Mischief) completed the exacta, followed by pace-pressing Aveenu Malcainu (Into Mischief) in third. The final winning time was 1:23.16, and the winner’s performance came just one race after his ‘TDN Rising Star’ stablemate Army Mule (Friesan Fire) dropped jaws with a dominant performance in the GI Carter H. National Flag, a $600,000 KEESEP yearling, defeated Engage to break his maiden second out at Saratoga last August. Fifth in the GI Hopeful S. a month later, he bounced back with a big-figure optional claiming tally going this distance at Gulfstream Mar. 2. His owners have been represented recently by the likes of GI Florida Derby winner Audible (Into Mischief), and will have brilliant and unbeaten Justify (Scat Daddy) in the GI Santa Anita Derby later this afternoon. Lifetime Record: 5-3-0-0. O-WinStar Farm, China Horse Club & SF Racing. B-Siena Farms LLC (Ky). T-Todd A Pletcher.
