Good Magic’s Bat Flip Walks It Off in Central Park

[Wandering Eyes]

Sent off at odds of 9-2 to build upon a wire-to-wire maiden victory going two turns over the Aqueduct turf course Oct. 23, BAT FLIP (c, 2, Good Magic–Krazy Kathy, by Harlan's Holiday) showed a bit of a new dimension when forced to stalk the pace in Saturday's Central Park S. at the Big A. But the $350,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga grad proved equal to the task in becoming a fifth stakes winner and first on the grass for his freshman sire (by Curlin). Looking intent on making the running yet again, Bat Flip tried to squeeze through a tight spot inside of Dr. Settle's Dream (Oscar Performance) into the first turn, but was forced to take back and chase from that one's outside. Content and nicely relaxed off the leader's flank, Bat Flip ranged up to lead at the head of the stretch and kept on well as a slightly troubled Dandy Handyman (Outwork) and favored General Jim (Into Mischief) rounded out the minors. Sales history: $350,000 Ylg '21 FTSAUG. O-Harrell Ventures & Starlight Racing; B-Fifth Avenue Bloodstock (KY); T-Todd Pletcher.
