Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 7, 2018 Journalists Share Posted July 7, 2018 MEADE (c, 2, Street Sense–Defy Gravity, by Bandini) proved his 7-2 odds were a gift with a decisive debut graduation to kick off Stars and Stripes day at Belmont Saturday. Stalking from second through a :22.68 opening quarter, the $250,000 FTSAUG buy took control in early stretch and rolled clear for a 2 1/2-length success in 1:11.30. Road Home (Quality Road), a 31-1 shot, closed strongly for second and Meade’s favored stablemate Social Paranoia (Street Boss) was third. Meade is the first foal out of SW dam Defy Gravity, who produced a Super Saver filly in 2017 and an Into Mischief filly in 2018. The 9-year-old mare is a half-sister to GISW Callback (Street Sense) and her yearling half-brother by Street Sense summoned $1 million from Alpha Delta Stables as a weanling at last term’s Fasig-Tipton November sale. The winner’s second dam is Quickest (Forest Wildcat), who is a daughter of Supercharger (A.P. Indy), making her a half-sister to GI Kentucky Derby hero Super Saver (Maria’s Mon); and GSWs Cyrus Alexander (Medaglia d’Oro) and Brethren (Distorted Humor). This is also the family of Grade I winners Imagining (Giant’s Causeway), Girolamo (A.P. Indy) and Bluegrass Cat (Storm Cat). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. O-St Elias Stable & MeB Racing Stable; B-Clearsky Farms (KY); T-Todd Pletcher. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
