TEN FOR TEN (c, 2, Frosted–Summer Vacation, by Eskendereya) kicked off his career with a second-place effort sprinting six panels at Saratoga Sept. 7 and was backed down to slight 2-1 favoritism while getting blinkers in his route debut. Hustled to the front by Jose Ortiz straight off the blocks, the $410,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase repelled a bid from 2-1 chance Savoy (Honor Code) approaching the quarter pole and spurted clear through the lane, scoring by an impressive eight-length margin over Officiating (Blame). Constitutional Law (Tapit), a full-brother to Grade I-winning Constitution, was edged for third after some trouble at the start. Out of Grade I-winning Dream of Summer (Siberian Summer), Summer Vacation, a half-sister to Grade I stakes scorers Creative Cause (Giant’s Causeway) and Vexatious (Giant’s Causeway) as well as GSW and Classic-placed Destin (Giant’s Causeway), is also responsible for a yearling colt by Candy Ride (Arg) and a filly foal by Kitten’s Joy. Ten For Ten is the eighth winner for his freshman sire (by Tapit). Sales history: $410,000 Ylg ’19 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, $49,050.
