GOOD AND STOUT (c, 2, Coal Front–Ready Witted, by More Than Ready) failed to meeting his reserve on a final bid of $117,000 at this April's OBS Sale but was attained privately and earned heavy 3-5 favoritism in this scratched-down debut facing just a pair of rivals. Second of the three through the early running, he began to eat into Hymn for Carlos's (Custom for Carlos) advantage with a furlong to run, and took over from that foe to draw away late for the 4 1/2-length win. This is the extended family of MGISW Love and Pride (A.P. Indy) while third dam Ile de France is a half-sister to champion 3-year-old colt and late sire Bernardini (A.P. Indy). Ready Witted foaled a colt by Mor Spirit this year. Good and Stout is his freshman sire's (by Stay Thirsty) first winner. Coal Front stands at Spendthrift Farm for $5,000 S&N.
