Perfect Shances Becomes First Winner For Shancelot

2nd-Keeneland, $79,675, Msw, 4-11, 2yo, f, 4 1/2f, :52.86, sy, 4 3/4 lengths.
PERFECT SHANCES (f, 2, Shancelot–American Baby, by Bayern)
became her freshman sire's first to get her picture taken. The bay took most of the action at the windows as she went off as the 1-2 favorite after drilling regularly at three furlongs over the course of March and into this month. As she battled sheets of rain, the filly made the front and moved to the rail around the far turn. The homebred straightened in control for the drive down the lane and splashed home by 4 3/4 lengths over Citizen Judy (American Freedom). The first winner sired by GSW/MGISP Shancelot (by Shanghai Bobby), Perfect Shances is her unraced dam's first and only registered foal. American Baby, who counts as a full-sister SW Sweet Harmony, is out of GSP Sweet Marini (Marino Marini), herself a half-sister to SW Excessivespending (Shackleford). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $48,360. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.

Mo Town Firster Gets off the Mark at Keeneland

1st-Keeneland, $75,320, Msw, 4-13, 2yo, 4 1/2f, :53.09, gd, 1 3/4 lengths.
MR. GORDY (c, 2, Mo Town–Sky Trail, by Congrats), dismissed at odds of 21-1 for his career bow, broke straight to the lead from the rail and raced just off the inside path around the turn. His lead increased turning for home and he had something left in reserve to hold off a fast-closing Ryvit (Competitive Edge) and win by 1 3/4 lengths to become the first winner for his freshman sire (by Uncle Mo), who stands at Coolmore's Ashford Stud. His dam was bred to World of Trouble for 2022. Sales History: $35,000 Ylg '21 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $48,360. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by TVG.
