Arrogate Filly Impresses Against Florida-breds

10th-Gulfstream, $53,000, (S), Msw, 12-16, 2yo, f, 6 1/2f, 1:17.21, ft, 8 lengths.
AVOW (f, 2, Arrogate–Peace Preserver {GSW, $382,166}, by War Front) loomed large on pedigree and price tag against this Florida-bred bunch and with an upbeat tab on display, and dominated at even-money to kick off her career auspiciously. Away awkwardly to be last early, the bay split horses and came into the frame as the leading group looked taxed following a :45.55 half. Avow swung wide for clear sailing, took over with ease in upper stretch and poured it on from there to prevail by eight lengths. Sheza Spitfire (He's Had Enough) did well to hang on for second after showing the way. The 11th winner from the first crop of her late sire (by Unbridled's Song), Avow's GSW dam is a full to GISW Jack Milton. Bridlewood purchased Peach Preserver for $1.9 million in foal to Galileo (Ire) at the 2014 Keeneland November sale. Her yearling colt by More Than Ready bought $30,000 at FTKOCT, and she most recently visited Authentic. Sales history: $300,000 Ylg '20 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $31,800.

Immaculately Bred Empire Maker Filly Shines at Del Mar

6th-Del Mar, $72,500, Msw, 11-20, 2yo, f, 6 1/2f, 1:17.45, ft, 2 1/4 lengths.
EMPIRE GAL (f, 2, Empire Maker–Double Tapped, by Tapit) opened her account at first asking Saturday at Del Mar with a good-looking victory over 6 1/2 furlongs Saturday. Prominent in the early stages, the bay filly drifted back to a midfield position while racing well out into the track approaching the turn. Given her cue with a little less than three-eighths of a mile to travel, the 34-5 chance advanced four or five wide into the stretch, took aim on the front-runners nearing the furlong grounds and came away to a 2 1/4-length victory over longshot Peripheral (Ghostzapper). The debuting Micro Share (Upstart) won a photo for third over favored Adare Manor (Upstart). A half-sister to GSW Majestic Eagle (Medaglia d'Oro, $387,129), Empire Gal is out of a full-sister to champion and GI Kentucky Oaks heroine Untapable who was acquired by Bridlewood for $1.3 million in foal once again to Medaglia d'Oro at Fasig-Tipton November in 2015. Grade II-winning granddam Fun House (Prized) was named Broodmare of the Year in 2014 following Untapable's champion 3-year-old filly campaign and is also responsible for GISW Paddy O'Prado (El Prado {Ire}). Third dam Bistra (Classic Go Go) was a half-sister to GISW Olympio. Double Tapped is the dam of a Union Rags colt that fetched $200,000 from Untapable's owner Winchell Thoroughbreds at this year's Keeneland September sale and a weanling filly by Omaha Beach. She visited Nyquist this past breeding season. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $42,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by TVG.

Leading Global Sire Put It Back Dies In Brazil At 23

Put It Back, who was a multiple Grade/Group 1 sire in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, has died at age 23, the South American publication Turf Diario reports.

The son of Honour and Glory stood at Haras Santa Maria de Araras in Bagé, Brazil, where he had become a pillar of the country's stallion ranks.

Racing as a Florida homebred for Hobeau Farm and for trainer Allen Jerkens, Put It Back won seven of five starts, highlighted by victories in the Grade 2 Riva Ridge Stakes and the listed Best Turn Stakes.

He retired to stud at Bridlewood Farm in Florida, and he was a frequent shuttle stallion to Brazil for a decade until taking permanent residence in South America in 2013. He was named Brazil's leading sire in 2014.

Put It Back has sired 17 crops of racing age, with 883 winners and combined progeny earnings of more than $48.6 million.

His biggest star in either hemisphere succeeded in both hemispheres. Bal a Bali was named Brazil's Horse of the Year in 2014 after winning four Group 1 races in his native country. He was then purchased by Rick Porter's Fox Hill Farm and brought to the U.S., where he became a top turf miler and notched victories in the G1 Shoemaker Mile Stakes and Frank E. Kilroe Mile Stakes.

His other Northern Hemisphere runners of note include Canadian champion Noholdingback Bear, and Grade 1 winner In Summation and Jessica Is Back.

Put It Back's South American year-end award winners are plentiful, including Brazilian champions Beach Ball, Billy Girl, Desejado Put, Requebra, Billion Dollar, Skypilot, English Major, Nitido, and Garbo Talks. He also sired Uruguayan Horse of the Year Fitzgerald and champion Elliott Ness. The stallion even had a notable Japanese runner in Group 3 winner Black Bar Spin.
