A last-out winner against optional claimers over the Tapeta at Golden Gate Dec. 30 by a tidy 7 1/2-lengths, Chase the Chaos (Astern {Aus}) broke his maiden under Robertino Diodoro at second-asking Sept. 17 at Canterbury Park.

Up to the challenge against a pair of high-priced KEESEP grads who were invading for Bob Baffert in favorite Gilmore (Twirling Candy) and pacesetter Nullarbor (Candy Ride {Arg}), the gelding sat center of the pack, as he bided his time. Down the backstretch and into the far turn, the field steadily began to reel in Nullarbor. At the top of the lane with the outside splayed, Chase the Chaos made his move, running on gamely past the eighth pole to secure the victory by 1 1/2-lengths, plus collect 10 Kentucky Derby points and an invitation to the G1 Preakness S in mid-May.

Third dam Miss Marta produced hard-knocking Mister Marti Gras (Belong to Me), MGSW, Earnings $1,194,027, while the winner's dam is responsible for a yearling filly by Take Charge Indy.

Old Homestead Continues to ‘Appreciate’ with Lafayette Victory

Old Homestead continues his perfect, albeit young, career with a commanding victory in the Lafayette S. on Keeneland's opening day of the spring meet. The Florida-bred began his career with an 11 1/2 length blow out Jan. 28 at Delta Downs, finding no competitor against an open field of maidens at five furlongs. Staying sprinting on the main track at the venue, it was a similarly devastating performance against an allowance field as Old Homestead coasted home by 5 3/4 uncontested lengths.

Stepping into stakes company, the Brett Brinkman trainee was sent off at 8-1 odds and it was second verse, same as the first: the colt broke on top, commanded the early pace, and pulled away from competition in the stretch under steady urging to win by 3 3/4 lengths despite not changing leads until the final sixteenth. Surfer Dude tracked from second all the way around and held his spot in the lane.

The winner is his dam's first foal and stakes winner. He has a 2-year-old half-sister by Astern (Aus) named Cora Pearl and the mare delivered a 2022 filly by Practical Joke. This is the family of Italian Group 1-placed runner Without Connexion (Ire), Grade I Frizette S. winner Yellow Agate (Gemologist), and six other group or graded runners.

Astern Filly Upends Miss Grillo

The second-longest shot on the board in a compact field of six, Jeff Treadway homebred Sail By (Astern {Aus}) sat closest to a soft pace and took full advantage of her trip to cause the upset in Saturday's GII Miss Grillo S. at Belmont Park.

Away alertly from the inside gate, Sail By conceded the lead to rank outsider Charlee O (Tourist), who enjoyed a soft time of it up front through an opening half-mile in :49.40. Stablemates and market leaders McKulick (GB) (Frankel {GB}) and Kinchen (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) were content to linger behind midfield, saving their best for last. The pacesetter still had things very much her own way after six furlongs in 1:14.36, but Junior Alvarado had Sail By set to strike and they pounced on the leader a furlong down before sprinting home best. Kinchen and McKulick were simply left too much to do given the shape of the race, but kicked home their final two furlongs in :22.11 and :21.88, respectively per Trakus, in efforts that can easily be upgraded.

“It wasn't a plan [to be forward today], but I'm glad he [Junior Alvarado] did things just as he did,” said winning trainer Leah Gyarmati. “He let her break and she broke really well and the other horse went which was perfect because it got her to settle.”

Sail By was the most 'experienced' of the Miss Grillo entrants, having broken her maiden at first asking–just as her dam had done–at 28-1 going six furlongs over this course June 18. A sound second in the Aug. 1 Colleen S. going a sharper five-furlong trip, Sail By was a latest pacesetting third to Miss Interpret (Street Sense) in the off-turf P.G. Johnson S. at Saratoga Sept. 2.

As for a trip to Del Mar, the conditioner added: “Any time you're even thinking about having that kind of opportunity is wonderful. I'll have to talk to Jeff [Treadway, owner-breeder], but I'm sure he is game and wants to go. That's a conversation we'll have to have.”

Pedigree Notes:

Sail By is the first North American graded winner and third black-type winner overall for her sire (by Medaglia d'Oro) and is set to become the sixth Breeders' Cup starter for Treadway, who sent out Johnson winner and Miss Grillo third Coasted (Tizway) to finish a bang-up second to New Money Honey (Medaglia d'Oro) in the 2016 GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies' Turf. Sail By is the first foal from her dam, who is also responsible for a yearling full-brother to Sail By and a colt foal by Oscar Performance.

Pricey Astern Filly Wins First Out at Del Mar

4th-Del Mar, $71,500, Msw, 9-2, 2yo, f, 5fT, :57.42, fm, 1/2 length.
BRANDON'SMYLAWYER (f, 2, Astern {Aus}–Ivory Pearl, by Pulpit), looking to become the fourth U.S. winner for freshman Astern, was sent off the 8-5 choice following a bullet four-furlong move in :47.40 at San Luis Rey Aug. 28. Rushing into contention but a hair behind the pacesetters, the dark bay was forced back slightly but recovered well to sit in a rail-hugging third through a :22.22 quarter. Moved to the outside turning for home, the Richard Baltas trainee caught Sugar Sugar (Twirling Candy) midstretch, pulled away from that rival and maintained a 1/2-length advantage over her oncoming stablemate Sterling Crest (Ire) (No Nay Never) at the wire. Brandon'smylawyer, the second highest priced juvenile this season by Astern, sold for $340,000 at the OBS Spring sale this past April after breezing an eighth in :10. The sire was also responsible for the third-place finisher, Tom's Beauty. The winner's dam, Ivory Pearl, is a daughter of Grade I winner Mea Domina. GSW and GISP third dam Madame Pandit (Wild Again) was responsible for GSP Ivory Empress (Seeking the Gold), the dam of GSW and 'TDN Rising Star' McCraken (Ghostzapper), MGSW Four Graces (Majesticperfection), GSP and fellow 'Rising Star' With Dignity (Declaration of War), MGSP Bondurant (War Front) and Millikin (Into Mischief), who graduated by eight lengths at first asking at Ellis Park Aug. 29. Ivory Pearl produced her latest foal last term, a colt by Oscar Performance and was bred back to Astern this spring. Sales history: $15,000 Ylg '20 FTKOCT; $340,000 2yo '21 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $42,000.
