Friday Insights: Pricey OBS Grad Makes Turf Debut At Del Mar

1st-DMR, $82K, Msw, 2yo, f, 5fT, 7:00 p.m.

Picked up for $550,000 at the OBS April Sale earlier this year following a sharp :21.1 breeze, SHE IS ROMANTIC (Blame) debuts Friday out of the Peter Eurton barn for owner C R K Stable. Already a half-sister to a pair of stakes-placed horses, the filly is out of a full-sister to MSW Frolic's Revenge and a half to GSW/MGISP Super Frolic (Pine Bluff) and MSW/GSP Stormy Frolic (Summer Squall). TJCIS PPS

4th-MTH, $57K, Msw, 2yo, 5 1/2f, 3:24 p.m.

Debuting on the Jersey Shore Friday, Bo Valentine (Into Mischief) sold for $450,000 as a yearling at Keeneland last year to the partnership of Spendthrift Farm and Repole Stables. Bred by Whisper Hill Farm, the Todd Pletcher trainee is out of a full-sister to MGISW American Gal and SW/MGSP Americanize. Further back in the family is G1 Gulf News Dubai Golden Shaheen winner Reynaldothewizard (Speightstown), MGISW Seventh Street (Street Cry {Ire}), GSW/GISP Lake Avenue (Tapit) and GISP Marking (Bernardini). TJCIS PPS

6th-GP, $50K, Msw, 3yo/up, f, 1m 70yds (AWT), 3:09 p.m.

The only first-time starter in the field, Applause (Uncle Mo) is a Peter Blum homebred and the first foal out of a half-sister to GSW/GISP Magical Feeling (Empire Maker). That mare produced Oaklawn Mile winner Exulting (Tapit) as well as Occult (Into Mischief), who romped in last week's GIII Monmouth Oaks by 10 1/4 lengths. This is also the family of GI Travers S. winner Golden Ticket (Speightstown). TJCIS PPS
