CONDON CANDY (f, 2, Unified–Sweetness 'n Light, by Distorted Humor) broke well enough to go on and set the pace from two off the rail, drawing away from her rivals at the three furlong marker. Widening her advantage while being kept to her task, Condon Candy made the margin 7 3/4 lengths over Regal Humor (Kantharos), who would come on from midpack to claim second after bouncing off runners at the break. A half-sister to Stormy Sky (Sky Mesa), GSP, $223,932–who delivered a 2023 filly by Knicks Go–Condon Candy also claims the dam of SP Sweetest Princess (Cairo Prince) as a half-sibling. The victress here is the most recent to the races for her experienced dam, being the eighth from nine of age, and has a pair of half-brothers in the wings–a yearling by Global Campaign and a 2023 colt by Game Winner. Sweetness 'n Light visited Nashville for 2024. This is the extended female family of MGSW-Brz Isaformer (Temple City); MGISW Octave; MGSW Belle Cherie; and track record-setter MSW Zestful.
