American Pharoah’s Window Shopping Runs Away in Maiden Breaking Score

10th-Santa Anita, $68,000, Msw, 3-17, 3yo, f, 1m (off turf), 1:37.95, ft, 16 1/2 lengths.
WINDOW SHOPPING (f, 3, American Pharoah–Delightful Joy {GSW, $179,200}, by Tapit), last seen sandwiched at the start and bravely making up ground to take sixth in her Nov. 13 juvenile unveiling at Del Mar–a race yielding SW Broadway Girls (Army Mule), showed a new dimension here in this off-turf contest. Leaving the blocks at 3-5 and stalking from cover early in fourth, she moved up to press the leaders at the half-way point and dueled into the far bend as a 1:10.74 split popped up. Given her cue and taking over at the three-eighths pole, she left her rivals behind as her advantage widened to an eye-catching 16 1/2 lengths on the wire. Tea Tree Bay (GB) (Tasleet {GB}) bested the field for the minor awards. Out of GIII Monmouth Oaks victress Delightful Joy, Window Shopping commanded $700,000 at KEESEP from her connections via agent Steven Young. Her dam is herself a daughter of GISP & MGSW Graeme Six (Graeme Hall), making her a half-sister to SW Seymourdini (Bernardini). This is the female family of no less than eight other black-type earners. Sales history: $700,000 Ylg '21 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $40,700.

Broadway Girls Steals The Show In Blue Norther

Fresh off her gate-to-wire maiden-breaking score in her third career start at Del Mar Nov. 13, Broadway Girls, given an unconvincing 16-1 chance for her stakes debut, showed a similar burst of speed to wire the field in Friday's Blue Norther S. Ridden hard to the front from her middle gate by jockey Edwin Maldonado, Broadway Girls was joined on her outside by Pleasant Wave (More Than Ready) into the first turn before assuming solo command through an opening quarter set in :22.79. Going easily on lead while chased by a pair of rivals just behind her, she held control as the field surged around her past the quarter pole. Challenged by a wall of closers led by 2-1 favorite Manhattan Jungle, Broadway Girls kept finding more and refused to cede the lead for the convincing win.

“She's got a lot of speed and so does Ami Please,” said winning trainer Doug O'Neill. “We knew they were fast fillies and credit to Glenn (owner, Sorgenstein, of Ami Please), he said, 'We can't both win on the lead, one (of these) horse(s) is going to be in front,' so we asked Frankie (Dettori, aboard Ami Please) to try to take off the pace to see if we could pick 'em up late and by doing that, it gave Broadway Girls a big chance.”

The fifth black-type winner for her freshman sire (by Friesan Fire), Broadway Girls has a yearling half-sister by Street Boss and a weanling half-brother by West Coast. Her dam visited Higher Power for 2023. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by TVG.
