Slipstream Bests Twilight Gleaming in Palisades

SLIPSTREAM (c, 3, More Than Ready–Cake Baby, by Stormy Atlantic) could do no better than sixth behind 'TDN Rising Star' Twilight Gleaming (Ire) (National Defense {GB}) in last year's GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Del Mar, but closed furiously up the rail to turn the tables on the Stonestreet filly in Sunday's Listed Palisades S. at Keeneland. Quickly into stride from an outside alley, Twilight Gleaming outsprinted her male rivals and galloped them along on a drying-out turf course as Slipstream, last year's GIII Futurity S. hero, bided his time at the tail of the field. As her stablemate Golden Pal (Uncle Mo) did in Saturday's GII Shakertown S., Twilight Gleaming was kept well off the rail in upper stretch, and that presented an inviting inside opening for Slipstream, who first rallied underneath Pure Panic (Summer Front) at the three-sixteenths and quickened home impressively to post 3/4-length victory. Sales history: $170,000 Ylg '20 KEESEP. O-Jump Sucker Stable; B-Burleson Farm & McKenzie Bloodstock (KY); T-Christophe Clement.
