Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 30, 2018 Journalists Share Posted August 30, 2018 POPPY’S DESTINY (c, 2, Orb–Plethora, by First Samurai), a $175,000 KEESEP yearling turned $300,000 OBSMAR 2yo after breezing in :9 4/5, was sent off at 5-1 in this unveiling against fellow Empire-breds. Battling Six Brothers (Bustin Stones) through a sharp first quarter in :22.96, the bay shook free of that foe as they hit the half in :46.80 and looked like he had it in the bag from there. However, True Gold (Frost Giant) had a little more left in the tank and surged to meet the pacesetter in the final strides, but Poppy’s Destiny came out on top in a tight photo. The final time was 1:05.52 for the 39th winner for second crop sire Orb (Malibu Moon). The winner is a son of Canadian stakes winner Plethora (First Samurai), a half-sister to MSP juvenile Congo (Johannesburg). The deeper female family includes European Group 3 winner Long Lashes (Rock Hard Ten). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. O-Lobdell Family Stables; B-SF Racing Group Inc (NY); T-Linda Rice.
