Adios Charlie Firster Too Fast for Debutante Foes

Stone Silent, a $410,000 OBSMAR purchase off a speedy :20 2/5 breeze, ran five rivals off their feet in a sharp debut performance in Saturday's Fasig-Tipton Debutante S. at Santa Anita. The 3-1 second choice sped through an opening quarter in :22.08, kicked for home in complete command and never looked back as Kentucky Juvenile S. winner and $390,000 Fasig-Tipton digital sale buyback Tom's Regret ran on to narrow the gap.

“First I'd like to thank the trainer and the owners for the opportunity,” said winning pilot Ramon Vazquez. “I worked her three times in the morning, and I knew she was a nice filly. She broke good and got a good position and she responded really well.”

Asked if he expected to be on the lead, Vazquez said, “I wasn't surprised because she's a first timer and nobody knew that this filly could run.”

Trainer John Sadler added, “I think some of the commentators picked up on the fact that she worked :20 2/5 in the sale, so she's very quick. We were hoping that she went through and could run early because I knew she had a ton of speed.  Ramon was good, he came out and worked her three times and knew her. We hadn't really pressed her hard in the morning, we just got her fit because we knew the speed was in there.

“She'll go into the stake program for 2-year-old fillies at Del Mar. We have a couple of other ones coming along behind her, so it's good to have the first one out and get one under our belt.”

The winner's 22-year-old dam has also produced the dams of MGSW Last Judgment (Congrats) and SW/GSP Isolate (Mark Valeski). She produced another Adios Charlie filly last year before returning again to the Ocala Stud resident, who was a $400,000 OBSMAR grad himself.

At the Spa Shakes Off Competition For Fasig-Tipton Debutante Win

A seven-length first-out maiden winner versus statebreds on May 7, Terry Lovingier's homebred At the Spa made it look easy in open company on Sunday at Santa Anita, as she dispatched of favored Laurel Canyon turning for home en route to a 2 ¼ length score in the $100,000 Fasig-Tipton Debutante Stakes. Trained by Jorge Periban and ridden by Tyler Baze, At the Spa got five furlongs in :59.79.

With Laurel Canyon hustled from her rail post, At the Spa was immediately alongside as the two fillies raced as a team into the far turn. With Baze riding confidently, At the Spa shook loose of her competition a furlong out and proved much the best.

“Today, she had to fight it out a little bit and she prevailed,” said Baze, who also won the day's previous race aboard Restrainedvengence in the Grade 3 American Stakes. “She's matured so much from the first race, she's just getting better. It's going to be a bright future for her.”

Off as the second choice at 9-5 among a field of five juvenile fillies, At the Spa paid $5.80, $3.20, and $2.20.

“I really feel excited because this filly really is a big filly,” said Periban. “Since the beginning, I knew she had so much talent, a lot of ability. I told Baze, before she ran, 'I got something for you.' And he believed me because we're a good team. I had a lot of confidence, mucho. I can't say what it was, but it was something in my heart (that) said today's going to be another win.”

Breeder and co-owner Terry Lovingier was thrilled with At the Spa's performance. “It was so exciting watching them come down. Watching two babies that I bred draw off together was very cool. I wasn't sure if the gray filly was going to get to her or not.”

Owned by Lovingier, Tom Beckerle, and Saul Carrillo, At the Spa is by the Uncle Mo stallion Outwork and is out of the Smoke Glacken mare Spa Creek. With today's winner's share of $60,000, she increased her earnings to $107,580.

Ridden by Umberto Rispoli, Munny Penny, who loomed ominously while third turning for home, was second-best on the day, finishing three-quarters of a length in front of Laurel Canyon. Off at 6-1, Munny Penny paid $4.80 and $2.60.

Laurel Canyon, a California-bred who broke her maiden at first asking at Gulfstream Park May 13, was ridden by Flavien Prat and paid $2.20 to show while off at odds of 8-5.

Fractions for the race were :22.17 for the first quarter and :46.40 for the half-mile.

Santa Anita Boosts Closing Day Stakes Purses

California's Santa Anita Park has boosted purses for the Fasig-Tipton Debutante and the Fasig-Tipton Futurity, both 2-year-old stakes scheduled to run Sunday, June 20, which is also closing day. Each will have purses of $100,000, an increase from their original purses of $75,000.

Both black-type events are slated to run over five furlongs on the dirt and will be forerunners to Fasig-Tipton's 2-year-olds in training sale at Santa Anita, which will be held June 23. An under-tack preview is scheduled for June 21.

“We've boosted the purses on both of these races to $100,000 because we want to continue to provide tangible incentives for those owners and horsemen that are investing in our future,” said Chris Merz, Santa Anita's director of racing and racing secretary. “We'll have all of these sales horses on the grounds here during our final week of the meet and this is going to attract a great deal of interest.”

Santa Anita Boosting Purses For Closing Day Fasig-Tipton Debutante And Futurity

A pair of closing day juvenile stakes at Santa Anita in Arcadia, Calif., the Fasig-Tipton Debutante and the Fasig-Tipton Futurity, will now feature purses of $100,000 each, up from their original purses of $75,000, track officials announced on Saturday.

Both races, to be run on Sunday, June 20, will be contested at five furlongs on Santa Anita's main track and will serve as a prelude to Fasig-Tipton's 2-year-olds in training sale at Santa Anita.  The only North American 2-year-old sale to be held on dirt in the month of June, the Fasig-Tipton sale will be conducted on June 23, with an under-tack preview on June 21.

“We've boosted the purses on both of these races to $100,000 because we want to continue to  provide tangible incentives for those owners and horsemen that are investing in our future,” said Chris Merz, Santa Anita director of racing and rascing secretary.  “We'll have all of these sales horses on the grounds here during our final week of the meet and this is going to attract a great deal of interest.

“It's important for everyone to know, they can come to the sale, inspect the horses and there will be opportunities to race not only here at Santa Anita in the fall, but at Los Alamitos and Del Mar as well.”
