Goldencents Colt Breaks Maiden In Style At Churchill

4th-Churchill Downs, $121,125, Msw, 11-12, 2yo, 5 1/2f, 1:03.27, ft, 7 3/4 lengths.
MYSTIK DAN (c, 2, Goldencents–Ma'am, by Colonel John) broke quickly in his debut Oct. 22 at Keeneland, but lost the lead down the lane to finish second. Tabbed as the 4-5 choice here, the bay colt tracked the pacesetter from second up the backstretch. Making his move to the outside around the far turn, the Ken McPeek trainee built up a head of steam and really poured it on to win by 7 3/4 lengths over Eusebius (City of Light). Out of an extended female family which includes MGSW Summer Front (War Front) and his half-sister GISW Laragh (Tapit), the winner's dam is responsible for a yearling filly named Yes Ma'am (Unified) and foaled filly Apr. 2 Ford's Ma'am (Knicks Go). She was not bred for next year. Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, $87,500. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.

Munnings Colt Overcomes Torrid Trip To Graduate at Keeneland

8th-Keeneland, $100,000, Msw, 10-22, 2yo, 6 1/2f, 1:18.24, ft, 1 1/4 lengths.
AGOO (c, 2, Munnings–Grandacious {SW & GSP, $206,304}, by Grand Slam) was a strong second after leading late on his six-furlong Churchill debut Sept. 17 behind Stretch Ride (Street Sense), who validated that peformance with a 5 3/4-length allowance victory going two turns here Oct. 14, good for an 86 Beyer. One of the first to break the line from a double-digit gate, the $72,000 KEENOV weanling and $190,000 KEESEP yearling was forwardly placed, but was no better than five off the fence as there was plenty of speed underneath him. Ridden along and with no other option than to sacrifice ground with a four- and five-wide rally on the turn, Agoo went on the attack from that position on the swing for home as he set his sights on pacesetting debuter Mystik Dan (Goldencents). Maintaining a relentless gallop into the final furlong, Agoo finally edged to the front a sixteenth from home and prevailed by a hard-fought 1 1/4 lengths. Linebacker (Bolt d'Oro) also turned in a very promising first-out performance, settling well back in the field following a slow start before sustaining a long, wide rally to be third, beaten just two lengths. The winner's dam was purchased by Equus Farm for $15,000 at KEENOV in 2021 and foaled a Violence colt the following season. The mare was most recently covered by Mystic Guide. Sales history: $72,000 Wlg '21 KEENOV; $190,000 Ylg '22 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, $81,350. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
