Sunday Insights: $1.8 Million Daughter Of Quality Road Looks To Shine At Seaside Oval

3rd-DMR, $61K, Msw, 2yo, f, 1m, 4:30 p.m.
At last year's Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Select Yearling Sale, trainer Bob Baffert with agent Donato Lanni bid to $1.8 million to secure NAFISA (Quality Road) on behalf of an undisclosed client who turned out to be Zedan Racing.

Consigned by Lane's End (hip 213), the auction's overall third topper was bred by Greg Goodman's Mt. Brilliant Farm & Ranch and Lane's End's W. S. Farish. It was Goodman who purchased her SP dam Ithinkisawapudycat (Bluegrass Cat) for $2.2 million in-foal to Constitution at the 2016 Keeneland November Sale.

A half-sister to Canadian champion Spring In The Air (Spring At Last), Ithinkisawapudycat's first offspring was 2016 GI Spinaway S. heroine Sweet Loretta (Tapit). She also produced SP Bridlewood Cat (Street Sense), a 2017 Keeneland September purchase for $750,000 by Bridlewood Farm, who herself foaled a yearling by Authentic, a weanling by Essential Quality and visited Tapit for next year.

JULIAS DREAM (f, 2, Flameaway–Cinnamon Girl, by Meadowlake) earned the title 'TDN Rising Star' at first asking Aug. 6 by the seaside oval when she won pillar to post by 5 1/2 lengths for her top five first-crop sire while sprinting over the turf. Switching to the main track in the GI Del Mar Debutante, she was a well-beaten eighth to fellow 'TDN Rising Star' Tamara (Bolt d'Oro). Back on the grass as the 3-5 choice here, the chestnut filly was challenged to the inside by Thermal (Nyquist), who is part-owned by Talla Racing. On even terms until the top of the lane, Julias Dream found another gear, put away her opponent and won by a neck over the surging Cheeky Gal (Maximus Mischief). The winner's dam, a full-sister to GISP Abby Girl (Meadowlake), produced a yearling colt by Air Force Blue, foaled a colt by Brody's Cause Apr. 10 and was bred to Blueblood for next year. Sales History: KEESEP; $180,000 2yo '23 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 3-2-0-0, $87,500. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
