Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 10, 2021 Journalists Share Posted June 10, 2021 VELVET SISTER (f, 2, Bernardini–Backslash, by Distorted Humor), bought for $500,000 after breezing a :10 1/5 furlong at Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream, debuted a sharp maiden winner Thursday at Belmont for Stonestreet Stables and Steve Asmussen. Showing a quartet of half-mile breezes at Keeneland, highlighted by a :47 2/5 (5/99) spin from the gate May 8, and a pair of maintenance spins over the local training track, the New York-bred was made a distant 12-5 second choice in a three-horse field behind 1-2 Chad Brown firster Gerrymander (Into Mischief). Out-breaking that rival as remaining foe Amazing Dream (First Samurai) stumbled, the bay showed the way narrowly while pressed by the favorite through a :22.72 quarter. Gerrymander began to come under more urging nearing the stretch as Joel Rosario sat chilly on the frontrunner, and Velvet Sister shook outside the furlong grounds and drove clear to score by seven lengths in 1:06.47. Gerrymander, who swapped leads several times in the stretch, was second as Amazing Dream never got involved. Sales History: $165,000 Ylg '20 FTKSEL; $500,000 2yo '21 FTFMAR. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $54,000. O-Stonestreet Stables; B-Michelle Nevin & Godolphin (NY); T-Steve Asmussen.
