American Freedom Filly a Debut Winner at Delaware

GORMAN (f, 2, American Freedom–How Nice, by Include), in the mix early, was shuffled back to near the back of a compact field while racing four wide. She rolled up five wide off the turn and closed resolutely to score by a half-length and become the third winner for her freshman sire (by Pulpit). R B's Star (Kantharos) was second, a neck in front of Seduce (Into Mischief) and it was another nose back to favored Buy the Best (Tapiture) in fourth. McGehee homebred How Nice, a half-sister to stakes winner House of Grace (Limehouse), produced a filly by Free Drop Billy in 2020 and a filly by Tapiture this year.

American Freedom Gets First Winner at Keeneland

3rd-Keeneland, $60,000, Msw, 4-2, 2yo, f, 4 1/2f, :52.01, ft, 1 1/2 lengths.
AMERICAN BOUND (f, 2, American Freedom–Grace Abounds, by Stormy Atlantic) provided a further push for her first-crop sire (by Pulpit), becoming the Airdrie inmate's first winner Friday at Keeneland. The victory came just two days after another daughter of American Freedom sold for $550,000 at Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream to go with three six-figure sellers at OBS March. Let go at 12-1 while breaking from the rail, American Bound broke on top and edged away around the turn with Wesley Ward-trained favorite Magniloquent (American Pharoah) in hot pursuit. American Bound stiff-armed that foe in upper stretch despite struggling with her leads, and had built up enough of an advantage to hold off Bode by You (Munnings) by 1 1/2 lengths at the wire, stopping the clock in :52.01-:0.14 faster than the other division of juvenile fillies in race one. The winner's dam, from the family of MGSW Souvenir Copy (Mr. Prospector), is also represented by a Daredevil filly of 2020. Sales history: $20,000 Wlg '19 KEENOV; $15,000 Ylg '20 OBSWIN. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $36,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by TVG.

Four more juveniles breezed in a bullet :9 4/5 and two stopped the clock in :20 4/5 at the final day of the OBS March Breeze Show Saturday.

The first :9 4/5 breezer of the day was a Blame filly (Hip 439) out of the unraced Cry Value (Street Cry {Ire}). A $17,000 FTKFEB purchase, she was acquired by King's Equine for $28,000 at Keeneland September.

A colt from the first crop of Gormley (Hip 531) stopped the clock in :9 4/5 for consignor Eddie Woods, who purchased him for $160,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Select Yearlings Sale.. His dam Green Eyed Cat (Tale of the Cat)– a daughter of MGISW Critical Eye (Dynaformer)–is also responsible for SW Little Kansas (El Kingdom).

A Carpe Diem filly (Hip 539) registered a :9 4/5 breeze Saturday for Becky Thomas' Sequel Bloodstock. Bred by Chester and Mary Broman, the New York-bred is out of MGSW Hard to Stay Notgo (More Than Ready), who is a half to stakes winners Mark My Way (Noonmark) and Haul Anchor (Bernardini).

Midnight Storm was another first crop sire to be represented by a :9 4/5 bullet breezer Saturday with a filly (Hip 344) from Robert Brewer's consignment. Out of MSP All On The Table (Holy Bull), she was picked up by Paul Neatherlin for $27,000 at the FTKSEL sale.

A son of first-crop sire American Freedom (Hip 461) was one of two :20 4/5 workers Saturday. Out of Divine Happiness (Divine Park), the $110,000 FTKSEL purchase by Marquee Bloodstock is consigned by Pick View LLC.

The other :20 4/5 breezer was a daughter of Triple Crown hero American Pharoah (Hip 547). The bay is out of MSW & GSP Henny Jenney (Henny Hughes), who is a half-sister to MSW & GISP Zeewat (Harlan's Holiday). Consigned by Wavertree Stables, she was a $200,000 KEESEP acquisition.
