MOMS MOON (Kitten's Joy) is a son of Sweet Assay (Consolidator), acquired as a 5-year-old by Nicoma Bloodstock for $14,000 at the 2014 Keeneland January Sale and covered by Point of Entry in her maiden trip to the breeding shed. The resulting foal became 'TDN Rising Star' Analyze It, a 6 1/4-length debut winner who became a three-time winner at the graded level and was placed in the GI Belmont Derby, GI Secretariat S. and GI Breeders' Cup Mile. The Chad Brown-trainee snapped a four-race skid dating back to last year's GIII Red Bank S. in Belmont allowance company Oct. 8. Moms Moon's Grade II-winning third dam A. P. Assay (A.P. Indy) was a half-sister to the late Came Home (Gone West). TJCIS PPs

VERBIER (Arrogate) is the first foal out of Bernadiva (Bernardini), a longshot third in the grassy Riskaverse S. for Jake Ballis and Bill Mott and later acquired privately with an eye on becoming a future mate for the late Arrogate. Bernadina is a daughter of the versatile Evening Jewel (Northern Afleet), winner of a synthetic-track renewal of this track's GI Central Bank Ashland S. and that year's GI Del Mar Oaks on the turf either side of a heartbreaking defeat at the hooves of Blind Luck (Pollard's Vision) in the GI Kentucky Oaks. Among the competition is Whitham Thoroughbreds' Hatch (E Dubai), a son of turf GSW Linda (Scat Daddy), herself a daughter of GSW/GISP Beautiful Noise (Sunny's Halo). TJCIS PPs
