Practical Joke Filly Prevails in Frizette

Repole Stable's CHOCOLATE GELATO (f, 2, Practical Joke–Special Treat, by Candy Ride {Arg}) put in a strong turn run and wore down game pacesetter You're My Girl (Overanalyze) to prevail in Sunday's GI Frizette S. at Belmont at the Big A. The 8-5 favorite settled for third at 55-100 in her Saratoga opening day unveiling July 14, but returned a month later to atone and romp by 8 1/2 lengths, good for a 92 Beyer Speed Figure. She stopped the clock in 1:38.57 in the slop Sunday. Sales history: $165,000 ylg '21 FTKJUL; $475,000 2yo '22 FTFMAR. O-Repole Stable; B-Vincent Colbert (KY). T-Todd A. Pletcher.

Army Mule’s Shadow Dragon Circles The Field For Debut Win

9th-Belmont The Big A, $77,000, (S), Msw, 9-29, 2yo, 6f, 1:13.75, ft, 3/4 length.
SHADOW DRAGON (c, 2, Army Mule–Fire Assay {GSP, $127,946}, by Medaglia d'Oro), dispatched at a tepid 7-1 in his first start since bringing $375,000 at OBSAPR off a :21 1/5 breeze, was forced towards the rail at the break and quickly found himself trailing the field with only one rival beat. Kept just off the rail into the far turn, he angled out at the top of the stretch and began picking off horses under a left-handed ride, closing resolutely with a furlong to run. Still sixth just past the sixteenth pole, Shadow Dragon dug in, passing tiring rivals to his inside, and cleared past pacesetter Looms Boldly (Goldencents) late for the three-quarter length win. The 17th winner for his freshman sire (by Friesan Fire), Shadow Dragon is out of a daughter of MGISW Jostle (Brocco). His dam produced a yearling colt by Liam's Map and a weanling colt by Practical Joke before being bred to Tacitus for the 2023 season. Sales History: $105,000 Ylg '21 FTKOCT; $375,000 2yo '22 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $42,350. Click for the Equibase.com chart.

Victory Sweet for Practical Joke Filly at the Spa

6th-Saratoga, $105,000, Msw, 8-14, 2yo, f, 6f, 1:10.30, ft, 8 1/2 lengths.

CHOCOLATE GELATO (f, 2, Practical Joke–Special Treat, by Candy Ride {Arg}) was backed down to 1-2 favoritism in her Spa debut July 14 yet had to settle for third, beaten 1 1/2 lengths. Sent off the 2-1 choice to make amends this time, the $475,000 Fasig-Tipton Florida juvenile graduate broke sharply and quickly assumed command, rolling through an opening quarter in :22.93. Still running comfortably following a :46.33 half, she was given her cue, accelerated with ease and drove clear late to score by 8 1/2 lengths under a hand ride. Twin Mischief (Into Mischief) was second ahead of Take Charge Briana (Curlin) in third. A granddaughter of MGSW and MGISP Daydreaming (A.P. Indy) and out of a half-sister to Grade I winner Imagining (Giant's Causeway), Special Treat produced a filly by Palace Malice last season and a filly by Outwork this term. She was bred back to Silver State. Sales history: $165,000 Ylg '21 FTKJUL; $475,000 2yo '22 FTFMAR. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-1, $70,350. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by TVG.
