Flatter Filly an Easy Debut Winner at Ellis

5th-Ellis, $67,900, Msw, 8-1, 2yo, f, 5 1/2fT, 1:03.77, fm, 4 1/4 lengths.
SONG OF NORWAY (f, 2, Flatter–Cougarstown {SW, $101,723}, by Speightstown) was installed the 2-1 favorite, her position only strengthened by the late scratch of the well-meant Pinotslilgirl (Jimmy Creed). Jumping to the front in a blink of an eye from her high draw, the Wesley Ward trainee led 3-1 chance Saltwater Taffy (Twirling Candy) and Midnight Angel (West Coast) through an initial quarter in :22.12. Rolling through the a half in :45.79, the blinkered filly opened up in the stretch, crossing the wire an uncontested 4 1/4-length winner over Saltwater Taffy, who outstayed 5-2 second choice Candy Landy (Candy Ride {Arg}). Following the race, the stewards had to take a look as Satona (Constitution), who broke awkwardly to the outside, was forced to check hard as she ran up on the heels of Candy Landy early. Following some deliberation, the result was allowed to stand. A half to Treason (Constitution), GSW, $196,277 and Elevenses (More Than Ready), SW & GSP, $146,365, the winner also has a weanling sister by Not This Time. Sales history: $130,000 Ylg '22 FTKJUL. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $40,600. Click for the Equibase.com chart.

Curlin Filly Graduates at Ellis

7th-Ellis, $115,500, Msw, 6-17, 3yo/up, f/m, 6f, 1:10.28, ft, 3 3/4 lengths.
ZEITLOS (f, 3, Curlin–Thyme For Roses {Aus} {GSW-Aus, $104,310}, by Redoute's Choice {Aus}), bet down to 1-4, broke with the second draft and settled in a pursuing second behind Uncorked (Uncle Mo), who zipped through a :21.92 quarter. Breathing down the pacesetter's neck leaving the far turn, the chestnut gained command at the quarter pole and drew off to score by 3 3/4 lengths over Uncorked. It's Magic (Good Magic) rounded out the trifecta. A non-starter after losing her rider in her career debut at Churchill last summer, she came home second behind next out winner Batucada (Union Rags) going a mile at that venue in September. Shelved for the remainder of the season, the $350,000 KEESEP yearling purchase returned with another runner-up effort to another next out winner, Scylla (Tapit), at Keelenad Apr. 15. Thyme For Roses also has an unraced juvenile filly by American Pharoah, a yearling colt by Constitution and a filly foal by Speightstown. Lifetime Record: 4-1-2-0, $111,850.
