Arrogate Represented By First Winner at the Spa

Sent off as part of an entry at just over 3-1, DJ Stable's Adversity (Arrogate–Artemis Agrotera, by Roman Ruler) became the first winner for her late freshman sire (by Unbridled's Song) with a second-out success Monday at Saratoga. Run over a main track that was downgraded from good to sloppy and sealed by a quick-passing storm, the grey filly–a debut seventh sprinting over the turf course Aug. 12–stepped well from an outside gate and pressed the pace from the outside beneath the hot-riding Ricardo Santana, Jr. Asked to win her race in upper stretch, she hit the front about a furlong from home and kept on to score by a comfortable 2 1/4 lengths despite failing to switch her leads late. The Honorable Ruth (Trinniberg) was second, while Adversity's entry-mate Carbon (Ironicus) closed for third.

Bred by Chester and Mary Broman, like DJ's GIII With Anticipation S. winner Coinage (Tapit–Bar of Gold), Adversity made a single appearance at public auction, fetching $335,000 at OBS April after breezing her eighth of a mile in a smooth :10 flat. Artemis Agrotera, who won the GI Frizette S. in 2013 and this track's GI Ballerina S. as a 3-year-old the following season, is also the dam of Adversity's SW half-brother Chestertown (Tapit), the $2-million topper at OBS March in 2019, and has a yearling colt by Into Mischief and colt foal by the Spendthrift maestro. Artemis Agrotera was most recently covered by Curlin.

Longshot Look Presented By Kentucky Downs: Ringing Up A Big Price

Monday's Labor Day card during the FanDuel meet at Kentucky Downs brings with it another chance to play America's richest meet, and the Paulick Report is back with another Longshot Look video segment.

For each card of the six-day meet, J.D. Fox of the Champagne and J.D. Show will single out a price play with his reasoning for what makes the horse worth a look when they might go overlooked.

On Monday's card, Fox has his eye on a runner in Race 9, the Aristocrat Juvenile Fillies Stakes, going a mile over Kentucky Downs' unique turf course. His pick will be making a surface switch after winning on debut over the dirt at Ellis Park, which means the filly could offer value at 12-to-1.

Kentucky Downs' 2021 meet takes place Sept. 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, and 12. First post each day is at 12:20 p.m. Central.

Monday Insights: Flay Looks To Close Meet With Homebred Firster

Sponsored by Alex Nichols Agency
8th-SAR, $100K, Msw, 2yo, f, 1 1/16mT, 4:29 p.m. ET
It's been a successful handful of weeks at Saratoga for celebrity chef Bobby Flay, at the racetrack with the likes of GIII Caress S. winner Caravel (Mizzen Mast) and across the street at Fasig-Tipton, where he sold an Uncle Mo colt from his Grade I winner Dame Dorothy (Bernardini) for $1.6 million. He'll try to end the meet on another high note when he sends out OLD SCHOOL (GB) (Frankel {GB}). Through bloodstock agent James Delahooke, Flay paid 550,000gns (about $944,000) for the filly's dam Auld Alliance (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}), a half-sister to MG1SW Golan (Ire) (Spectrum {Ire}) and MGSW/MG1SP Tartan Bearer (Ire) (Spectrum {Ire}) at Tattersalls December in 2013, and got her some black-type in the 2014 Flaming Page S. at Woodbine. The mare returned to Moulton Paddocks in 2017 carrying to Frankel, but Flay elected to buy her back on a bid of 1.05-million guineas (about $1.49 million). She was entered for the same event a year later carrying this filly, but was ultimately withdrawn. TJCIS PPs

Kimmel Debuter Looks To Sink Rivals…
7th-SAR, $100K, Msw, 2yo, 6f, 3:54 p.m.
TORPEDO RUN (Gun Runner) cost $270,000 at Fasig-Tipton last October, then fetched $450,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream sale after covering an eighth of a mile in :10 2/5. The Apr. 25 foal is out of a daughter of MGISW Lady Tak (Mutakddim), the dam of Japanese SW & MGSP A Shin Spartan (Zensational); SW Melody Lady (Unbridled's Song), whose produce include 'TDN Rising Star' Volatile (Violence) and SW/GSP Buy Sell Hold (Violence); and MSP Casual (Curlin). Fans of the daytime drama 'All My Children' might take a liking to the debuting Pine Valley (Maclean's Music), named after the fictional Pennsylvania town that served as the setting for the show. Produced by a half-sister to SW & MGSP Cherokee Artist (Cherokee Run) and SW/GSP Cherokee Girl (Cherokee Run), Pine Valley was bought back for $32,000 at KEENOV in 2019, made $75,000 at FTKOCT last year and hammered for $250,000 at FTFMAR earlier this year after working a furlong in :10 2/5.

Longshot Look Presented By Kentucky Downs: Ransacking The Opening Day Card

Opening day of the FanDuel meet at Kentucky Downs is here, and so is our new Longshot Look video segment, examining a horse poised to hit for a price on the day's card.

For each card of the six-day meet, J.D. Fox of the Champagne and J.D. Show will single out a price play with his reasoning for what makes the horse worth a look when they might go overlooked.

On Sunday's opening day card, Fox turns his attention to Race 3, a one-mile starter allowance for 3-year-olds and up who have started for a claiming tag of $10,000 or less in the past year. His pick is 20-to-1 on the morning line, but as Fox explains, the horse's past form suggests he stands a strong chance of outrunning his odds.

Kentucky Downs' 2021 meet takes place Sept. 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, and 12. First post each day is at 12:20 p.m. Central.
