[Wandering Eyes]

6th-Saratoga, $88,000, (S), Msw, 8-4, 2yo, 1 1/16mT, 1:44.44, fm, 1 1/4 lengths.
LACHAISE (r, 2, Oscar Performance–Elusive Rumour {MSP, $140,050}, by Elusive Quality), made the 5-2 favorite for Thursday's start, came away near the front and settled three wide in third a length off of pacesetter Provision (Goldencents). Content to let the top pair go on with it, Lachaise took back off the tempo into the clubhouse turn to race in tandem with Secretary of War (War Dancer). Still two wide around the far bend, Lachaise began to rally midway around and found himself three wide for the lead at the top of the lane. Under a heavy left-handed ride, he dueled gamely with Provision into the final sixteenth before finally wearing his opponent down and going clear to the line to win by 1 1/4 lengths. A brief steward's inquiry did not change the order of finish and the score gave his freshman sire (by Kitten's Joy) his fifth individual winner.  Elusive Rumour (Elusive Quality) is responsible for a trio of stakes winners including: Scuttlebuzz (The Factor), SW, $350,588, Myhartblongstodady (Scat Daddy), MSW, $442,966, and Runaway Rumour (Flintshire {GB}), SW & MGSP, $279,530. She produced a yearling full-sister to Lachaise and was bred to Constitution and Mendelssohn for 2023. Sales History: $180,000 RNA Ylg '21 SARAUG. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $48,400.
