John Oxley's Catch Magic (Curlin) is unveiled here on the rail for trainer Norm Casse. The eye-catching half to Checkered Past (Smart Strike), MSW & MSP, $334,284 and three other multiple-winners of over $140,000 cost her connections $600,000 after breezing a quick :10 flat at OBSAPR last year. Right to her inside, Juddmonte will send out Patna (Into Mischief), the half-sister to Ducale (Twirling Candy) who is twice a winner and never off the board in five lifetime starts. Rounding out the field are the golden silks of Claiborne Farm, who send homebred Misread (Blame) to post for her sire's trainer Al Stall Jr. She is the first foal out of a daughter of multiple-graded stakes winner, Wend (Pulpit).
