Twirling Candy Colt Takes Them all the Way in Hollwood Derby

[Wandering Eyes]

BEYOND BRILLIANT (c, 3, Twirling Candy–Summer On the Lawn, by First Defence) went to the front under hot-handed Kent Desormeaux and dug in in the stretch to post a 10-1 upset in Saturday's GI Hollywood Derby at Del Mar. Previously unbeaten Santin (Distorted Humor) did well from the 14 hole to come up a neck short. Cathkin Peak (Ire) (Alhebayeb {Ire}) was third. The final time was 1:48.84. Beyond Brilliant took a local optional claimer two back Sept. 6, and was third in the GII Twilight Derby at Santa Anita on Halloween. Desormeaux took Friday's GII Hollywood Turf Cup S. Friday using opposite tactics, and had won two races on each of the prior three Del Mar cards before that. Sales history: $50,000 RNA ylg '19 KEESEP; $200,000 2yo '20 FTMMAY.
