Four wide around the first time and right on top of a strong early pace, the even-money chalk punched the breeze down the backstretch. Allowed to poke his head in front at the three-eighths pole, the chestnut put a big break on them in upper stretch and cantered under the wire nine lengths to the good. Smarten Up, the 16th winner for his freshman sire (by Pulpit), is a half-brother to Tiger Blood (Cowtown Cat), MSW, $564,770. The useful Sarah Cataldo was purchased by Summerfield Sales for $20,000 with this colt in utero at the 2018 Keeneland November sale and she produced a colt from the first crop of Girvin in 2020 after being bought back for $17,000 at the OBS Winter Mixed Sale.
