Army Mule’s Captain Courtney Impressive In Stakes Debut

Since finishing third against open maidens on Parx debut May 6, it's been nothing but blue skies for Captain Courtney (Army Mule) and the bay made light work of her first stakes assignment in Monday's Malvern Rose S. at Presque Isle Downs.

Just slightly beaten for speed as Scottish Symphony (Mendelssohn) led from the bell, the $90,000 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic breezer settled nicely towards the inside and appeared loaded as they neared the stretch. Switched out to deliver her challenge, the response was almost immediate, as she swamped the pacesetter outside the eighth pole and shot clear.

Captain Courtney, puchased in utero for $2,500 at the 20 Previous winners of the Malvern Rose include future Grade I scorers Shamrock Rose (champion) and Just One Time. 20 Fasig-Tipton February Sale, is the eighth stakes winner for Army Mule and is out of a half-sister to MGSW & MGISP Aikenite (Yes It's True). She is the last listed produce for her dam, who sadly died in 2020.

Liam’s Map Filly Makes It Three Straight at Presque Isle

7th-Presque Isle Downs, $45,046, Alw (NW3L), Opt. Clm ($40,000), 9-21, 3yo/up, f/m, 6f (AWT), 1:08.64, ft, 2 3/4 lengths.
ROSES FOR DEBRA (f, 3, Liam's Map–Essential Rose, by Bernardini) would be perfect but for a debut demotion at this venue May 23 when two lengths best, only to be taken down for drifting in and causing interference. A clear-cut maiden winner second time out June 9, the gray filly was last seen posting a facile 3 3/4-length triumph in the state-bred restricted Malvern Rose S. over an extra sixteenth of a mile July 18. A cozy fit for this open-company test, Roses for Debra was content to allow a pair of rivals set things up for her, rallied three wide on the turn and pulled away through the final furlong to take it by a handy 2 3/4 lengths as the 1-2 mortal. Blackstone Farm purchased the unraced Essential Rose, a daughter of Canadian Grade III winner Essential Edge (Storm Cat), for a bargain $32,000 in foal to Lookin At Lucky at Keeneland November in 2015. The dam of Rose's Vision (Artie Schiller), SW-USA, MSP-Can, $264,358, Essential Edge is a half-sister to Grade III-placed Leading Edge (Tapit), whose daughter Pioneer's Edge (Pioneerof the Nile) is twice stakes-placed for Chiefswood Stables this season, including a third in the Aug. 14 Bison City S. Essential Rose is also responsible for the once-raced Rosie's Alibi (Justify), a $625,000 FTSAUG grad, a yearling filly by Palace Malice and a filly foal by American Pharoah, all foaled in Pennsylvania. She most recently visited Gun Runner. Sales history: $120,000 Ylg '20 KEEJAN; $25,000 Ylg '20 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: SW, 4-3-1-0, $113,830.
