Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 15, 2021 Journalists Posted August 15, 2021 OBS March bullet breezer (:20.2) Roger McQueen (Unified) fended of all challengers Sunday to become the second stakes winner for his freshman sire (by Candy Ride {Arg}). Third as the favorite on debut at Churchill May 22–one slot behind GII Saratoga Special S. runner-up Gunite (Gun Runner)–the dark bay stepped forward to air by five lengths here July 17. Displaying ample zip once again to attend the pace through a :46.99 half, Roger McQueen took over approaching the stretch but was immediately tackled by Lucky Boss (Street Boss). He continued to stiff arm that foe in the lane, and even-money Costa Terra (Gun Runner) joined the fray late, but there was no wearing down Roger McQueen. The winner is the most recent registered produce for his now 13-year-old dam, who was a stakes winner at two herself in New York. Unified has also been represented this year in Kentucky by Debutante S. winner Behave Virginia.
