Speakeasy S. | Horse Racing Free Tips

Pegram, Watson and Weitman's Speed Boat Beach (Bayern), owner of a gaudy 104 Beyer Speed Figure for his Sept. 10 debut score on the Del Mar dirt over $3.55-million stablemate Hejazi (Bernardini) after blazing a furlong in a bullet :9.3 at OBSMAR, took to the turf with aplomb in Sunday's Speakeasy S. at Santa Anita, earning an automatic berth into the starting gate for the Nov. 4 GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint.

Backed like a lock at 2-5 making a rare dirt-to-turf move for Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, the dark bay locked on to even speedier Helladic (Kantharos) early after a slightly awkward break, pounced on that one at the head of the lane and inched clear from him by 1 1/4 lengths, stopping the clock in :55.25. These same connections took the GII Zenyatta S. one race earlier with Midnight Memories (Mastery), and the GI Awesome Again S. on Saturday with Defunded (Dialed In).

Speed Boat Beach is the lone foal to race out of his dam, a daughter of SW & MGSP Amie's Dini (Bandini). The further female family includes MSW Kid Kate (Lemon Drop Kid) and Frank's Honor (Honor Code), an impressive five-length maiden winner at Churchill Downs Oct. 1. Sophia Mia s the dam of a yearling Distorted Humor filly, a weanling filly by Violence and was bred to Army Mule this season.

Amanzi Yimpilo bested the boys and secured a spot in the gate for the GII Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint S. A debut winner sprinting on the lawn at Gulfstream June 10 and was third in Saratoga’s Bolton Landing S. Aug. 19. Shedding blinkers for this one, the chestnut pressed the pace from second through a swift opening quarter in :21.89. Keeping the pressure on through a half in :44.66, the $300,000 KEESEP buy swept to the front in the final sixteenth and held off a late run from Wyfire to secure her first black-type victory.

“She was pretty nervous behind the gate, we had a little trouble, but I knew she was ready,” said rider Luis Saez. “I could feel the power. She just broke very well and sat in a great spot which was the spot I was thinking to be in. When we came down the stretch she fought, she was a fighter and we got there. I had a feeling we would get it.”

The winner’s dam produced a No Nay Never filly last year and a Caravaggio filly this spring. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
