Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 14, 2018 Journalists Share Posted April 14, 2018 WILL’S PIONEER (c, 3, Pioneerof the Nile–Holy Bubbette {MSW & GSP, $240,995}, by Holy Bull), a full-brother to MGSW and freshman sire Cairo Prince, broke on top and never looked back en route to a good-looking graduation Saturday at Oaklawn. Contesting the pace before settling for second over track and trip Mar. 22, the $500,000 Keeneland September graduate was made the 5-2 second choice this time around and beat the gate to quickly move clear. Dictating terms through splits of :22.34 and :46.07, the gray arrived at the top of the lane under confident handling and kicked away into the final furlong to score by 3 1/2 lengths in 1:10.99. Odds-on stablemate Slick Silver (Kantharos) was second-best. In addition to his relation to Cairo Prince, the winner is a half to Holdin Bullets (Ghostzapper), SP, $166,254. His dam is responsible for a juvenile Bodemeister colt and was bred to Bodemeister and Liam’s Map last spring. Sales History: $410,000 Wlg ’15 KEENOV. Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, $64,800.
