Rapid-Fire Second Winner for Arrogate

4th-Monmouth, $56,125, Msw, 9-6, 2yo, 6f, 1:11.20, ft, 6 1/2 lengths.
AFFABLE MONARCH (c, 2, Arrogate–Social Queen {MGSW, $344,164}, by Dynaformer) gave his late sire (by Unbridled's Song) a second first-crop winner at Monmouth Park about 30 minutes after Adversity broke the mold up at Saratoga. The Colts Neck homebred, off at 13-5, was beaten for speed and trailed behind a quick pace through the opening exchanges. Equipped with a shadow roll for this first go, the gray colt made stealthy inside progress leaving the three-eighths pole, got through an inviting opening at the inside with a little less than a quarter-mile to race and careered away from his rivals to score by 6 1/2 lengths. Pioneer of Medina (Pioneerof the Nile) was second, while fast-working and regally bred favorite Courvoisier (Tapit–Take Charge Brandi) was third. The winner's dam was a dual Grade III winner on the turf, including the GIII Eatontown H. at this venue before going on to produce fellow turfer Force the Pass (Speightstown), GISW, $1,359,114, who stood his first season at stud in Maryland in 2020 before being sold to Saudi Arabia. Herself a daughter of SW and GSP Gal On the Go (Irgun), Social Queen is the dam of a yearling full-brother to Force the Pass (hip 154 in Keeneland September), was barren to Quality Road for this year and was most recently covered by Improbable.

Flightline Freaky Fast In Return At Del Mar, Earning 114 Beyer Speed Figure

Flightline had people buzzing when he won his debut on April 24 at Santa Anita by 13 1/4 lengths and earned a 105 Beyer Speed Figure. On Sunday at Del Mar, the $1-million Tapit colt did himself one better, defeating an allowance/optional claiming field by 12 3/4 lengths with jockey Flavien Prat sitting like a statue in the irons at the seaside course north of San Diego, Calif.

This victory earned the John Sadler trainee a 114 Beyer Speed Figure, co-highest assigned to any runner this year.

Flightline covered six furlongs in 1:08.05, which according to Daily Racing Form's Brad Free is the fastest time at the distance at Del Mar since Lord Nelson won the  Grade 1 Bing Crosby Stakes in 1:07.65 in 2016. 

Bred in Kentucky by Jane Lyon's Summer Wind Farm, Flightline was produced from the Indian Charlie mare, Feathered, a $2.35 million purchase by Lyon while in foal to War Front in 2016.

Consigned by Lane's End, Flightline brought $1 million at the 2019 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling sale. He was purchased by Terry Finley of West Point Thoroughbreds, who put together a partnership of owners that includes Summer Wind, along with Hronis Racing, Siena Farm and Woodford Racing.

Sadler backed off on Flightline following his April debut, waiting until June 9 for his first timed breeze after the win. He came into Sunday's race off a solid string at breezes over the Del Mar main track, including a best of morning five furlongs in :58.40 on Aug. 24.

Sadler did not indicate immediately after the race where Flightline might surface next. During the colt's hiatus earlier this summer, the trainer told Thoroughbred Daily News, “We are not going to be in a hurry.”

Flightline romps to a second straight victory, going six furlongs at Del Mar in 1:08.05

Arrogate Represented By First Winner at the Spa

Sent off as part of an entry at just over 3-1, DJ Stable's Adversity (Arrogate–Artemis Agrotera, by Roman Ruler) became the first winner for her late freshman sire (by Unbridled's Song) with a second-out success Monday at Saratoga. Run over a main track that was downgraded from good to sloppy and sealed by a quick-passing storm, the grey filly–a debut seventh sprinting over the turf course Aug. 12–stepped well from an outside gate and pressed the pace from the outside beneath the hot-riding Ricardo Santana, Jr. Asked to win her race in upper stretch, she hit the front about a furlong from home and kept on to score by a comfortable 2 1/4 lengths despite failing to switch her leads late. The Honorable Ruth (Trinniberg) was second, while Adversity's entry-mate Carbon (Ironicus) closed for third.

Bred by Chester and Mary Broman, like DJ's GIII With Anticipation S. winner Coinage (Tapit–Bar of Gold), Adversity made a single appearance at public auction, fetching $335,000 at OBS April after breezing her eighth of a mile in a smooth :10 flat. Artemis Agrotera, who won the GI Frizette S. in 2013 and this track's GI Ballerina S. as a 3-year-old the following season, is also the dam of Adversity's SW half-brother Chestertown (Tapit), the $2-million topper at OBS March in 2019, and has a yearling colt by Into Mischief and colt foal by the Spendthrift maestro. Artemis Agrotera was most recently covered by Curlin.
