PALM COTTAGE (f, 3, American Pharoah–Walkwithapurpose {MSW & GSP, $297,210}, by Candy Ride {Arg}), installed the 4-5 top choice in this first go, broke a step slow, but quickly put her self into a close-up third as Upandcomingstar (Into Mischief), prompted by Strong Silent (Wicked Strong), led through an opening quarter mile in :22.53. Hemmed in along the rail exiting the far turn, Palm Cottage swung out three wide turning for home, ground her way to the fore with a sixteenth to go and crossed the wire a half-length in front of Strong Silent with Upandcomingstar rounding out the trifecta. The winner is a half to Where Paradise Lay (Into Mischief), SW, $199,250 and SP Whispering Pines (Uncle Mo), $111,947. Dam multiple stakes winner Walkwithapurpose is out of Lightning Lydia (Broad Brush), a full-sister to Grade I winner Shossberg. She produced a Union Rags filly in 2019 followed by a Malibu Moon colt last season. Earlier this term, she dropped an Omaha Beach filly. Sales history: $575,000 Ylg '19 KEESEP.

Sponsored by Alex Nichols Agency

7th-ELP, $51K, Msw, 3yo/up, f, 6f, post time: 2:02 p.m. ET

Some particularly well-bred and expensive sophomore fillies are set to debut Saturday at Ellis Park. Bill and Corinne Heiligbrodt, Madaket Stables and Spendthrift Farm's confidently named Upandcomingstar (Into Mischief) has been prepped for this by Hall of Famer Steve Asmussen. The $500,000 KEESEP yearling is out of 2010 GIII Azeri S. winner Freedom Star (Street Cry {Ire}).

Larry Best's OXO Equine, meanwhile, will be represented by Brad Cox-trained Palm Cottage (American Pharoah). A $575,000 buy herself in September, she's out of MSW miler type Walkwithapurpose (Candy Ride {Arg}), who has already produced two stakes horses including SW Where Paradise Lay (Into Mischief). Her second dam is a full to GISW Schossberg (Broad Brush).

Clawback (Candy Ride {Arg}), meanwhile, was a $325,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga grad. The granddaughter of 1996's champion grass mare Wandesta (GB) (Nashwan) is half to two stakes-placed runners. South Georgia (Union Rags) is the first foal out of MGSW/GISP House Rules (Distorted Humor). TJCIS PPs
