Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted February 6, 2022 Journalists Posted February 6, 2022 MORELLO (c, 3, Classic Empire–Stop the Wedding, by Congrats) obliged as the 7-5 favorite in Sunday's Jimmy Winkfield S. to become the third black-type winner from his sire (by Pioneerof the Nile)'s first crop. A $250,000 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic juvenile off a good-looking :10 1/5 breeze, the chestnut opened his account with a clear-cut victory going a furlong shorter here Nov. 27 and was flattered when the runner-up came back to win well himself while improving by 17 Beyer points. With an upbeat interim worktab on display, Morello broke alertly from the outermost five post before being allowed to settle off the pace and out wide. He advanced three deep outside of chief market rival Life Is Great (Tapiture) through a :45.55 half and met with little resistance from there, pulling away by some four lengths and stopping the clock in 1:23.30. Life Is Great held second. Morello was produced by a half-sister to the GSP dam of speedy MGISP Social Inclusion (Pioneerof the Nile). Sales history: $140,000 wlg '19 KEENOV; $200,000 ylg '20 FTKSEL; $250,000 2yo '21 FTMMAY. O-Blue Lion Thoroughbreds & Craig & Victoria Taylor. B-Robert B. Tillyer & Dr. Chet Blackey (Ky). T-Steven M.
