Filly Beats the Boys to Become First Stakes Winner for Good Magic

The Doug O'Neill-trained Vegas Magic became the first black-type winner for freshman sire Good Magic (by Curlin) with a late-closing, nail-biting rush to the front in Pleasanton's Everett Nevin S. One of three fillies going up against colts, Vegas Magic bided her time near the back of the field early, content to let others duke it out up front as the fractions clicked by in :22.07 and :45.17. Still well back in sixth at the top of the stretch, Vegas Magic suddenly closed with a vengeance, splitting horses late and hurling toward the wire in a rush. She got up just in time, winning by a nose as the 6-5 favorite.

Vegas Magic is unbeaten in two starts. The bay was unveiled June 11 at Santa Anita, winning a five-furlong maiden special weight by a length to become her sire's second career winner and is now his first stakes winner. Good Magic, the champion 2-year-old colt of 2017, stands at Hill 'n' Dale Farm near Paris, Kentucky and has four career winners to date.

A $100,000 purchase at OBS March after working in :10 2/5, Vegas Magic has a yearling half-sister by Kantharos. Her dam also produced a filly by Sharp Azteca Apr. 9. Click for the Equibase.com chart.

Gustav Klimt Sires First Winner In Milan

3rd-San Siro, €7,700, Vdn., 6-28, 2yo, 1400mT, 1:30.20.
SOPRAN BLAKEY (IRE) (c, 2, Gustav Klimt {Ire}–Perino {Ire}, by Speightstown), who was making his debut, was sent off at 2-1. Sitting in a stalking third, the bay temporarily lost his position rounding the bend but was skipping along nicely as the field straightened for the drive. He sidled up to favoured longtime leader Foxy Lady (Ity) (Lord Chaparral {Ire}) a furlong from the wire, before cruising past her to win in a canter by 4 1/2 lengths. He is the first winner for his G2 Superlative S.-winning first-season sire (by Galileo {Ire}), who also placed four times at Group 1 level. The seventh foal and second winner for his dam, who won one race as a 3-year-old, Tuesday's winner is her last reported foal. Perino is a half-sister to the Listed Kilboy Estate S. victress Adaala (Sahm), herself the granddam of G2 KPMG Champions Juvenile S. and G3 Desmond S. scorer Madhmoon (Ire) (Dawn Approach {Ire}), who filled the runner-up spot in the 2019 G1 Derby, as well as 2016 G1 Irish 2000 Guineas winner Awtaad (Ire) (Cape Cross {Ire}). The versatile female family is led by Fair Grounds Oaks heroine My Charmer (Poker), Sopran Blakey's fourth dam. Her best foal was the 1977 American Triple Crown hero and Horse of the Year Seattle Slew (Bold Reasoning), who went on to be an outstanding sire and leave a notable impact on the breed, while she also foaled 1983 G1 2000 Guineas winner Lomond to the cover of Northern Dancer. Sales history: €5,000 Wlg '20 GOFDEC. Lifetime Record:1-1-0-0, €2,975. *1ST-TIME STARTER.

Freshman Sire Seabhac Off The Mark At Lyon-Parilly

Seabhac (Scat Daddy) became the latest European freshman sire off the mark when Anton Doerner's homebred Everwin (Fr) (Seabhac–Quatuor {Ire}, by Kodiac {GB}) notched a first winner for the Haras de Saint Arnoult resident in Monday's Prix des Iris, a maiden race for 2-year-olds, at Lyon Parilly.

2nd-Lyon-Parilly, €18,000, Mdn, 6-27, 2yo, 6 3/4fT, 1:26.49, sf.
EVERWIN (FR) (c, 2, Seabhac–Quatuor {Ire}, by Kodiac {GB}) settled off the pace in a midfield eighth for most of this debut. Making smooth headway along the far-side rail once into the straight, the 47-10 chance quickened to the front approaching the final furlong and was pushed clear in the closing stages to easily account for Spirit Grey (Fr) (Charm Spirit {Ire}), by an impressive 3 1/2 lengths, becoming the first winner for his freshman sire (by Scat Daddy). Everwin is the latest of five foals and third scorer produced by a multiple-winning granddaughter of G3 Prix de Saint-Georges victrix Maybe Forever (GB) (Zafonic), herself a half-sister to MG1SW sire Court Masterpiece (GB) (Polish Precedent). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, €9,000. Video, sponsored by TVG.
1ST-TIME STARTER. O/B-Anton Doerner (FR); T-Ludovic Gadbin.
