8th-Keeneland, $96,906, Msw, 10-13, 2yo, f, 1 1/16m, 1:47.33, ft, 3 1/2 lengths.
INTRICATE (f, 2, Gun Runner–Complex Analysis, by Distorted Humor) made belated progress to finish a never-nearer fifth, beaten just over two lengths, on six-furlong debut at Churchill Sept. 16, and was the 2-1 second choice stretching out to a distance of ground for the first time. Prominent through the opening exchanges, the chestnut eased back to sit midfield, but close, as they turned up the backstretch. Steered out into the four path entering the second bend, Intricate was held together passing the quarter pole, quickly raced up to the leaders once heads were turned for home and ran out a good-looking 3 1/2-length winner. A $200,000 KEESEP yearling and $280,000 OBS April breezer, Intrictate is the first foal from her dam, a full-sister to SW & GSP Abraham, who cost LBD Stable $180,000 carrying this filly at the 2020 Keeneland November sale. Complex Analysis is also the dam of a yearling colt by The Factor ($23,000 '23 KEEJAN; $65,000 '23 FTKJUL) and produced a Munnings colt this year before visiting Gun Runner's sire Candy Ride (Arg). This is also the family of graded performers Miss Isella and Sir Cherokee. Sales history: $200,000 Ylg '22 KEESEP; $280,000 2yo '23 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $61,725.
