Constitution Colt Remains Perfect in Palm Beach

Annex took his record to two-for-two with a late-closing kick to take the Palm Beach S. at Gulfstream Saturday. Tabbed a 'TDN Rising Star' when rallying from well back to graduate on debut going a mile here Jan. 16, he was favored at 6-5 to repeat in this black-type bow. Racing in sixth, the chestnut was well back off the pace as Arzak (Not This Time) shot out to a clear lead with about 10 lengths on his closest pursuer Hot Blooded (Declaration of War), who also had daylight on the rest of the field. Arzak zipped through swift splits of :22.38 and :44.80 with Annex and the others just biding their time. Pulled out into the clear three wide at the top of the lane, Annex unleashed a powerful turn of foot, surging clear late to secure the win over Scarlett Sky.

Annex is the 16th black-type scorer for hot young sire Constitution and the 189th black-type winner out of a daughter of Unbridled's Song. His dam You Make ME Sing is a half-sister to MGISW You (You and I), who is the dam of GSW You and I Forever (A.P. Indy). She produced an Honor Code colt in 2019 and a filly by that sire in 2020. The 10-year-old mare was bred back to Mitole. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.

Collaborate Becomes Latest Rising Star for Into Mischief

In an interview in Thursday's 'Second Chances' column profiling Collaborate (Into Mischief) after a useful debut fifth in the Gulfstream slop Feb. 6, trainer Saffie Joseph, Jr. said that, “Hopefully, we get to see the horse that we think he is [Saturday].”

Did we ever.

The $600,000 FTSAUG yearling, campaigned in partnership by Three Chimneys Farm and e Five Racing, ran to the billing with a 12 1/2-length daylight victory, easily good enough for 'TDN Rising Star' honors.

Favored at 7-5 in a deep-looking maiden special weight going six furlongs on debut, the handsome bay broke slowly and took some time to get his footing over the saturated surface as they flew through fractions of :22.19 and :44.88. He still, nonetheless, got into the race entering the far turn and grinded his way to a very solid effort, getting beaten by just 1 1/4 lengths rallying between rivals in the stretch in a blanket finish.

Collaborate, meanwhile, tipped his hand in the interim, working in company with his year-older stablemate and last year's narrow GI TVG.com Haskell S. runner-up Ny Traffic (Cross Traffic), covering five furlongs in 1:00.29 (2/28) at Gulfstream Feb. 21.

Getting a fast track this time and some additional real estate to work with stretching to a one-turn mile, the even-money favorite broke on top and it was pretty much over from there. He traveled very nicely beneath Tyler Gaffalione under token pressure through fractions :23.72 and :46.57. Under confident handling rounding the far turn, he hit the quarter pole in complete control, and, after a couple of taps on the right shoulder to switch over, Collaborate was in a race of his own in a flash, running up the score in the stretch to win for fun.

Bennyfromthebronx (Tapit), a half-brother to GISW and game Saudi Cup runner-up Charlatan (Speightstown), ran well in defeat to complete the exacta following a flashy four/five-wide sweeping move on the far turn after getting sawed off at the start. Like the winner, he is also out of a Quiet American mare.

The Triple Crown nominated son of red-hot leading sire Into Mischief is out of 2010 GII Fair Grounds Oaks heroine Quiet Temper (Quiet American) and hails from the extended female family of Phipps GISWs Furlough, Dancing Spree, Fantastic Find, Heavenly Prize and Oh What a Windfall.

Quiet Temper is also represented by a Gun Runner 2-year-old filly. She was bred back to the 2017 Horse of the Year for the 2021 season.

Anchored By Fountain Of Youth, Saturday’s Rainbow 6 Pool Guaranteed At $700,000

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $700,000 Saturday Gulfstream Park, where the $300,000 Fasig-Tipton Fountain of Youth (G2) will headline a 14-race program with nine stakes, eight graded. (Race 1 post time is set for 11:30 a.m.)

The popular multi-race wager went unsolved Friday for the fourth straight racing day since a lucky bettor broke the jackpot for $712,824.06 Saturday. Multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $1,688.00 Friday.

The jackpot pool is only paid out when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket, 70 percent of that day's pool goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.

Saturday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 9-14 and will be kicked off by the $200,000 WinStar Gulfstream Park Mile (G2) and completed by the Fountain of Youth, the key prep for the $750,000 Curlin Florida Derby (G1) presented by Hill 'n Dale at Xalapa.

Shug McGaughey-trained Performer, who captured the Jan. 23 Fred W. Hooper (G3) at Gulfstream, is the 2-1 morning-line favorite in a field of eight older horses in the Gulfstream Park Mile. Danny Gargan-trained Tax, who finished off-the-board in the $3 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational (G1) after winning the Harlan's Holiday (G3) impressively, is rated second at 5-2. Steve Budhoo-trained Eye of a Jedi, who finished a neck behind Performer in the Hooper, will return in the Gulfstream Mile.

A 1 1/16-mile optional claiming allowance for older horses on turf, which will be designated as a 'spread' race by many bettors, follows in Race 10.

Mark Casse-trained Got Stormy, the popular multiple Grade 1 stakes-winning mare, will make her 2021 debut in the $125,000 Honey Fox (G3) in Race 11. Brendan Walsh-trained Zofelle, who captured the Jan. 23 Marshua's River (G3) at Gulfstream, will also get considerable support from bettors.

Champion Vequist will be widely viewed as a 'single' by many Rainbow 6 bettors when she makes her 2021 debut in the $200,000 Davona Dale (G2) in Race 12. The Butch Reid-trained daughter of Nyquist captured the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) at Keeneland Nov. 6.

The $125,000 The Very One (G3) in Race 13 will be contested by a very balanced field of older fillies and mares that may well prove to be the most testing leg of the sequence for bettors.

Greatest Honour, a 5 ¾-length winner of the Jan. 30 Holy Bull (G3), is rated as the 8-5 morning-line favorite in the Fountain of Youth, which also attracted Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (G1) winner Fire At Will, Holy Bull runner-up Tarantino and Swale (G3) winner Drain the Clock in a deep field of 10.

WHO'S HOT: Jose Ortiz ride a pair of winners, scoring aboard Ray Arewethereyet ($4.40) in Race 1 and Thorover ($3) in Race 5.

The third leg of the Stronach 5, Gulfstream's 8th race, was won by Breaking Alone ($15.60), racing for the first time after being claimed by trainer Carlos Perez. Laurel Park's 10th race, the fourth leg of the sequence, was won by heavily favored Get Lit ($3). The Stronach 5 concluded with Golden Gate's third race, won by the 5-1 shot Janero Rose ($13.20).

Friday's races and sequence

  • Leg One – Laurel Park 9th Race: Madam Meena $4.80
  • Leg Two –Santa Anita Park 3rd Race: Big Beauty $5.40

The Stronach 5 In the Money podcast, hosted by Jonathan Kinchen and Peter Thomas Fornatale, will be posted by 2 p.m. Thursday at InTheMoneyPodcast.com and will be available on iTunes and other major podcast distributors

The minimum wager on the multi-race, multi-track Stronach 5 is $1. If there are no tickets with five winners, the entire pool will be carried over to the next Friday.

If a change in racing surface is made after the wagering closes, each selection on any ticket will be considered a winning selection. If a betting interest is scratched, that selection will be substituted with the favorite in the win pool when wagering closes.

The Maryland Jockey Club serves as host of the Stronach 5.
