Sponsored by Alex Nichols Agency

3rd-GP, $50K, MSW, 3yo/up, f, 1 1/16mT, 2:09 p.m.

From the first crop of the late champion Arrogate, USURPED debuts Sunday for trainer Brendan Walsh and owner/breeder Bridlewood Farm. The 3-year-old filly is out of the El Corredor mare Concinnous, making her a half-sister to millionaire & MGISW Iotapa (Afleet Alex), who sold for $2.8 million to the China Horse Club at the 2014 Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale. Usurped is also a half-sister to GSP Saintly Joan (Northern Afleet), a $625,000 purchase at the same sale the following year. Her most recent work, a four-furlong move from the gate at Palm Meadows in :48 2/5 Apr. 8 (3/14), was on dirt, but she displays a pair of turf breezes there in her two prior efforts. TJCIS PPs
