Debuting on the Jersey Shore Friday, Bo Valentine (Into Mischief) sold for $450,000 as a yearling at Keeneland last year to the partnership of Spendthrift Farm and Repole Stables. Bred by Whisper Hill Farm, the Todd Pletcher trainee is out of a full-sister to MGISW American Gal and SW/MGSP Americanize. Further back in the family is G1 Gulf News Dubai Golden Shaheen winner Reynaldothewizard (Speightstown), MGISW Seventh Street (Street Cry {Ire}), GSW/GISP Lake Avenue (Tapit) and GISP Marking (Bernardini).

6th-GP, $50K, Msw, 3yo/up, f, 1m 70yds (AWT), 3:09 p.m.

The only first-time starter in the field, Applause (Uncle Mo) is a Peter Blum homebred and the first foal out of a half-sister to GSW/GISP Magical Feeling (Empire Maker). That mare produced Oaklawn Mile winner Exulting (Tapit) as well as Occult (Into Mischief), who romped in last week's GIII Monmouth Oaks by 10 1/4 lengths. This is also the family of GI Travers S. winner Golden Ticket (Speightstown). TJCIS PPS
