Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 29, 2018 Journalists Share Posted July 29, 2018 ROADSTER (c, 2, Quality Road–Ghost Dancing, by Silver Ghost), touted as the next potential superstar colt for a barn that’s produced the likes Triple Crown winners American Pharoah (Pioneerof the Nile) and Justify (Scat Daddy) and the brilliant Arrogate (Unbridled’s Song) in recent years, took some time to be coaxed into the gate, and to get his feet underneath him once he broke out of it, but he ultimately lived up to the hype in a facile first victory. Off at 4-5 breaking from the rail, the roan was pushed along to move up to sit third behind splits of :22.05 and :46.20. He found his best stride in the vicinity of the quarter pole, picked off the leading pair out in the clear with ease, and cantered home under a motionless Mike Smith to don cap and gown by about six lengths in 1:11.07. Istanbul (He’s Had Enough–Le Mi Geaux) spiced up the exacta at a big price. The winner, a $525,000 KEESEP yearling, is a half to last year’s GI Woodford Reserve Manhattan S. winner Ascend (Candy Ride {Arg}). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. O-Speedway Stable LLC. B-Stone Farm (Ky). T-Bob Baffert. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
