Summer Breezes: Friday, Aug. 5, 2022

Some of the most highly anticipated races during the summer racing season are the 'baby' races during the boutique meetings at both Saratoga and Del Mar and at Ellis Park, which attracts its fair share of high-priced offspring from a variety of top national outfits. Summer Breezes highlights debuting 2-year-olds at those meetings that have been sourced at the breeze-up sales earlier in the year, with links to their under-tack previews. Already this year at Saratoga, City Man (Mucho Macho Man), Mo Strike (Uncle Mo) and Empress Tigress (Classic Empire)–each a graduate of the 2-year-old sales–have already struck at stakes level, while the likes of juvenile purchases and 'TDN Rising Stars' Taiba (Gun Runner), We The People (Constitution) and Onesto (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) have also left their mark on graded/group competition this season. To follow are the horses entered for Friday:

From the TIF: Cross Country Pick 5 Past Posting Exposes Tote Insecurities

“One of the most urgent issues facing our industry is that of improved electronic security for the pari-mutuel wagering system.”

This simple declaration was part of the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA)'s five-year strategic plan covering 2006 through 2010, and published in 2005.

Approaching two decades later, there has been little progress on the topic, and recent wagering incidents in the summer of 2022 highlight the long-term failure to address these problems.

If you think the stewards are always in charge of stopping wagering when the race begins, think again. A new revelation suggests that primary control of some bet types resided exclusively in the hands of a single, off-site tote company employee, potentially in violation of wagering rules in numerous states while also exposing a staggering vulnerability.

Purchased for $525,000 by trainer Kent Sweezey for R.S. Evans out of this year's OBSAPR sale following a :9 4/5 breeze, ILLICIT (Into Mischief) debuts in this spot. Bred by Evans, she was purchased by Gene Recio for $150,000 at Keeneland September and Evans was so impressed with how she developed, he bought her back. The bay is out of a half-sister to GSW Ocho Ocho Ocho (Street Sense) and GSP Private Ensign (A.P. Indy).

Breaking just to her outside is Personal Pursuit (Tapit), a $500,000 KEESEP yearling, who switches from the dirt to the turf after checking in fifth in her career debut July 1. TJCIS PPs

Picked up as a yearling for $625,000 out of the FTKSEL sale, Ruthless But Kind (War Front) makes her belated debut on the West Coast for owner Sondereker Racing LLC. The bay is out a multiple graded-stakes placed mare who is a half-sister to both GSW Big Bend (Union Rags) and GSP Taralena (Arch). She posted a near-bullet drill two works back, going five furlongs in :59 3/5 (2/23) July 17 and picks up Drayden Van Dyke for her debut. TJCIS PPs
