Rapid-Fire Second Winner for Arrogate

[Wandering Eyes]

AFFABLE MONARCH (c, 2, Arrogate–Social Queen, by Dynaformer) gave his late sire (by Unbridled's Song) a second first-crop winner at Monmouth Park about 30 minutes after Adversity broke the mold up at Saratoga. The Colts Neck homebred, off at 13-5, was beaten for speed and trailed behind a quick pace through the opening exchanges. Equipped with a shadow roll and racing with blinkers for this first go, the gray colt made stealthy inside progress leaving the three-eighths pole, got through an inviting opening at the inside with a little less than a quarter-mile to race and careered away from his rivals to score by the better part of seven lengths. The winner's dam was a dual Grade III winner on the turf, including Monmouth's GIII Eatontown H. at this venue before going on to produce GI Belmont Derby Invitational S. winner Force the Pass (Speightstown). Herself a daughter of SW & GSP Gal On the Go (Irgun), Social Queen is the dam of a yearling full-brother to Force the Pass, was barren to Quality Road for this year and was most recently covered by Improbable. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. O/B-Colts Neck Stables (KY); T-Jorge Duarte.
