JUDDMONTE BLUEBLOOD HOPES SECOND TIME'S A CHARM
1st-BEL, $90K, Msw, 3yo/up, 1m, 12:50 p.m.
Blueblooded Juddmonte homebred ARTORIUS (Arrogate) ran a huge race on debut at Keeneland Apr. 16, producing an eye-catching rally from well back to be second behind a 'TDN Rising Star' performance from Under Oath (Speightstown). The son of MGISW Paulassilverlining (Ghostzapper), who was recently profiled in Steve Sherack's “Second Chances” column, gets that second chance Friday in the Belmont opener.
He faces a pair of well-related colts also making their second start in Shreveport (Tapit) and Exact Estimate (Into Mischief). The former, a Godolphin homebred, is a son of MGISW Seventh Street (Street Cry {Ire}) and a full-brother to GSW & GISP Lake Avenue. The gray made a four-wide move to be third in his even-panel unveiling at this oval May 5. Exact Estimate, a $375,000 FTKSEL buy, is a half to MGSW & GISP Tizamagician (Tiznow). The Chad Brown pupil was a well-beaten second at Keeneland in his Apr. 24 career bow. TJCIS PPs

Sponsored by Alex Nichols Agency

6th-BEL, $90K, MSW, 3yo/up, 7f, 3:37 p.m.

   Owner/Breeder Godolphin debuts 3-year-old homebred SHREVEPORT in this elongated sprint at Belmont Thursday. The son of leading sire Tapit is out of the MGISW Seventh Street (Street Cry {Ire}) who took both the GI Apple Blossom H. and the GI Go for Wand H., making him a full-brother to GII Demoiselle S. winner and GI Ketel One Ballerina H. runner-up Lake Avenue. Trainer Bill Mott has prepared the gray colt for debut with a pair of Payson Park bullets last month, working four furlongs from the gate Apr. 4 in :49 (1/18) and five furlongs Apr. 11 in 1:01 1/5 (1/4). Jose Lezcano picks up the ride.

One gate to the outside is Mugged (Street Sense) for owner Centennial Farm and trainer James Jerkins. Purchased for $140,000 from the Fasig-Tipton Select Sale, this colt is out of a half-sister to GSW Proceed Bee (Bernstein).

Most intriguing of the non-firsters is Breakwater (Flatter). A son of GSW Quiet Harbor (Silver Deputy), he is from the immediate family of MGSW and sire Ironicus (Distored Humor). Trainer Shug McGaughey unveiled this colt for owner/breeder Janney Stuart III with a third-place effort Apr. 3 at Gulfstream. TJCIS PPs
