Curlin’s Rocketeer Wins Nicely In Keeneland Debut

8th-Keeneland, $100,000, Msw, 10-26, 2yo, 7f, 1:28.82, ft, 4 lengths.
ROCKETEER (c, 2, Curlin–Thirteen Arrows {MSW, $277,375}, by Indian Charlie) went off at 3-1 in this debut spot and was forwardly placed just off pacesetting World Fair (Tapiture). The top pair moved through opening fractions of :22.97 and :46.63 before Rocketeer made his run to strike the front with an outside move passing the quarter pole. The class of the field in the run to the wire, the Brad Cox trainee cruised home to win by four lengths over 25-1 longshot D Day Sky (Omaha Bech). $1.5m yearling Stop the Press (Uncle Mo) was never a factor after a slow beginning and came home sixth. Thirteen Arrows, a $575,000 broodmare purchase out the 2016 FTKNOV sale, is a half-sister to GISW and sire Cross Traffic (Unbridled's Song) and also to the dam of SW/MGISP Gulfport (Uncle Mo). Her Into Mischief yearling colt brought a final bid of $525,000 from Repole Stable at this year's KEESEP sale and she reported a filly by the same stallion this Spring before visiting Life Is Good for 2024. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $57,350. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.

Pick 6 Carryover Of $20K Friday At Belmont At The Big A

Friday's card at Belmont at the Big A will be bolstered by a Pick 6 carryover of $20,079 after the multi-race wager went unsolved on Thursday's nine-race card.

The $1 Pick 6 returned $142.50 to bettors who selected 5-of-6 winners correctly.

Thursday's sequence kicked off in Race 4, a seven-furlong claiming sprint for fillies and mares won by 3-5 favorite Jolly Miss Jill [No. 6, $3.20*] with Kendrick Carmouche up for trainer Michelle Giangiulio.

Autumn Glory [No. 10, $9.10] prevailed off the layoff in Race 5, a six-furlong outer turf sprint for New York-bred fillies and mares, under a strong ride by Dylan Davis for trainer Christophe Clement.

Carmouche guided the Tom Albertrani-trained Quokka [No. 2, $44.80] to an upset score in Race 6, a 1 1/16-mile inner turf maiden for juveniles, one race before Manny Franco piloted Mursal [No. 5, $5.70*] to victory as the favorite for trainer Rick Dutrow, Jr. in a seven-furlong starter allowance for fillies and mares.

Dutrow, Jr. doubled up in Race 8 with the Jose Ortiz-piloted Timbuktu [No. 11, $12.40], who out finished favored One Headlight to score in a nine-furlong outer turf allowance for state-breds 3-years-old and up.

With only two horses covered in the Race 9 finale, a 6 1/2-furlong maiden claimer for state-bred fillies and mares, Franco guided Two Redheads [No. 12, $12.60] to a decisive victory for trainer Mertkan Kantarmaci.

Lookin At Lucky Won’t Return to Kentucky for the 2024 Breeding Season

Long-time Ashford Stud sire Lookin At Lucky (Smart Strike–Private Feeling, by Belong to Me) will be staying in Chile at Haras Don Alberto for the next season and will not be available to cover mares in Kentucky in 2024, officials at Coolmore America confirmed Thursday.

A champion at two and three, as well as winner of the GI Preakness S. and four other Grade I events, Lookin At Lucky's first foals were born in 2012. Among his 74 black-type winners and 49 graded winners worldwide are champion and GI Breeders' Cup Classic winner Accelerate and GI Kentucky Derby winner Country House in the U.S., as well as Chilean Horse of the Year Wow Cat (Chi), who is also a Grade I winner in the U.S. Lookin At Lucky has been wildly successful in Chile, siring an additional five champions there, while another of his Chilean-breds was exported to Hong Kong and was named champion there in 2021.

Based in the U.S. at Ashford, Lookin At Lucky shuttled his first year to Australia for the Southern Hemisphere season and has visited Chile a majority of the seasons since.
