Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 5, 2018 Journalists Share Posted August 5, 2018 DER LU (f, 2, Orb-Taboo, by Forestry) was hammered into 3-5 favoritism for Sunday’s second at Del Mar and had to work for it a bit, but took care of business in the end. Nicely away from the seven hole, the sleek chestnut was ultimately outsprinted to the lead by the rail-drawn Courteous (Midnight Lute) and was patiently ridden from there. Biswhacks (Fed Biz) got through inside at the quarter pole to poke a head in front, but despite having to cover a bit of ground while three deep, Der Lu fought her way past and came clear inside the final sixteenth of a mile to take it by about three lengths. A $170K purchase out of last year’s FTSAUG sale, Der Lu stopped the clock in :21 flat at this year’s FTFMAR sale and was purchased by Charles and Susan Chu’s Baoma Corp. for $900K (1/26). The filly’s dam Taboo (Forestry) produced SP Smartly Agree (Smart Strike) and is a daughter of GISW Dream of Summer (Siberian Summer), the dam of top sire Creative Cause (Giant’s Causeway), MGSW Destin (Giant’s Causeway) and MGSP Vexatious (Giant’s Causeway). Taboo is represented by a yearling Uncle Mo filly, a colt foal by Frosted and was most recently bred to Pioneerof the Nile. O-Baoma Corp; B-Merriebelle Stable (KY); T-Bob Baffert.
