										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Keeneland opens its highly anticipated fall meet Friday with a trio of graded stakes that each provide the winners with a spot in the gate for the Breeders' Cup World Championships to be held in Lexington the first weekend of November.</p>
<p>The highlight of the day will be the GI Darley Alcibiades S., a qualifier for the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies. Ken McPeek and Brad Cox have taken turns the last few years, each winning two of the last four, and McPeek has the morning-line favorite in last-out GIII Pocahontas S. winner <strong>Fun and Feisty</strong> (<a href="https://www.darleyamerica.com/stallions/our-stallions/midshipman" class="horse-link">Midshipman</a>).</p>
<p>McPeek also saddles longshot <strong>Stellar Lady</strong> (Shackleford), who broke her maiden on grass last out at Kentucky Downs Sept. 8. The aforementioned Cox also saddles a grass filly in unbeaten <strong>Chop Chop</strong> (<a href="https://lanesend.com/cityoflight" class="horse-link">City of Light</a>), who enters off a win in the Kentucky Downs Juvenile Fillies S. Sept. 3.</p>
<p>DJ Stable's <strong>Wonder Wheel</strong> (Into Mischief) will likely challenge Fun and Feisty for favoritism. Opening her account with a pair of wins including a dominant score in Churchill's Debutante S. in July, the dark bay checked in second in Saratoga's GI Spinaway S. Sept. 4.</p>
<p>Chad Brown sends out one worth a look at a price in Alpha Delta Stables homebred <strong>Raging Sea</strong> (<a href="http://www.hillndalefarms.com/curlin/" class="horse-link">Curlin</a>). She rallied to victory in her debut going seven panels at Saratoga Aug. 7. Both her running style and her pedigree suggest she will only improve with more distance.</p>
<p>Juvenile grass fillies get their chance to secure a spot in the Breeders' Cup starting gate one race earlier in the GII J.P. Morgan Chase Jessamine S. Chop Chop would have been favored in this event, but now that will likely go to <strong>Towhead</strong> (Malibu Moon), who came up a nose short of that foe in the Kentucky Downs Juvenile Fillies S.</p>
<p>Jonathan Thomas saddles a live on in Augustin Stable's <strong>Delight</strong> (<a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/america/stallions/mendelssohn" class="horse-link">Mendelssohn</a>). The $400,000 OBSMAR buy earned her diploma at Delaware last out Aug. 27 after a pair of thirds in her first two tries.</p>
<p>G. Watts Humphrey's <strong>Bling</strong> (<a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/america/stallions/american-pharoah" class="horse-link">American Pharoah</a>) took a huge step forward when switched from dirt to turf in her second start at Ellis Aug. 20, earning her diploma by 3 3/4 lengths.</p>
<p>Also worth a look at what is sure to be a juicy price for bettors is NY-bred <strong>Recognize</strong> (Bolt d'Oro). Her freshman sire now has two graded winners on turf and her Hall of Fame conditioner Bill Mott is known for his patience and ability to get horses to peak at the right time. The bay graduated by 5 1/4 lengths at third asking against fellow Empire-breds at Saratoga in Aug. 18 and checked in third after setting the pace in that venue's P.G. Johnson S. Sept. 1.</p>
<p>Rounding out Friday's Breeders' Cup qualifiers is the GII Stoll Keenon Ogden Phoenix S. for male sprinters. With champion Jackie's Warrior (<a href="http://www.hillndalefarms.com/macleans-music/" class="horse-link">Maclean's Music</a>) and Cody's Wish (<a href="http://www.hillndalefarms.com/curlin/" class="horse-link">Curlin</a>), who defeated the divisional leader in the GI Forego S., waiting for the first weekend in November, this event lacks star power. However, the horse who may be improving at just the right time is <strong>Sibelius</strong> (<a href="http://www.taylormadestallions.com/horses/not-this-time-31064.html" class="horse-link">Not This Time</a>), who enters off a pair of strong victories and triple-digit Beyers, including the Lite the Fuse S. at Pimlico Sept. 10, for which he warned a 106 Beyer Speed Figure.</p>
<p><strong>Special Reserve</strong> (<a href="https://www.darleyamerica.com/stallions/our-stallions/midshipman" class="horse-link">Midshipman</a>) captured this event last year, but could only manage fourth in the Breeders' Cup. Off the board in his seasonal debut in the DeFrancis Memorial Dash July 16, he wired the Senator Robert C. Byrd Memorial S. in the slop at Mountaineer last out Aug. 6.</p>

<p>&#8220;It's been such a great experience, and he's such a great horse,&#8221; said David Staudacher, who co-owns the Mike Maker-trained Special Reserve with Peter Proscia's Paradise Farms Corp. &#8220;This award means a lot. I've been in the business over 40 years, and I had my first stakes win with Mike four or five years ago. I've been claiming horses a long time&#8211;claimed some good ones, claimed some not-so-good ones. Love the sport, love the people involved. It's just so much fun.&#8221;</p>
<p>Echoed Proscia: &#8220;He's been a great horse to watch. He tries all the time, and Mike did a great job with him. [The award] was a pleasant surprise. This horse has brought us a lot of fun and success. We're looking forward to his 2022 campaign.&#8221;</p>
<p>Each year the National HBPA Industry Awards Committee, chaired by Pennsylvania HBPA Executive Director Todd Mostoller, reviews nominated horses to choose the one most exemplifying the spirit of a National HBPA Claiming Horse of the Year.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Special Reserve started last season being claimed for $40,000 and ended 2021 as the National HBPA Claiming Horse of the Year. In between, the 5-year-old gelding won two graded stakes and three stakes overall, finished second by a half-length in Saratoga's Grade 1 Vanderbilt and concluded the season with a very competitive fourth in the $2 million Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1).</p>
<p>&#8220;It's been such a great experience, and he's such a great horse,&#8221; said David Staudacher, who co-owns the Mike Maker-trained Special Reserve with Peter Proscia's Paradise Farms Corp. &#8220;This award means a lot.

<p>Each year the National HBPA Industry Awards Committee, chaired by Pennsylvania HBPA Executive Director Todd Mostoller, reviews nominated horses to choose the one most exemplifying the spirit of a National HBPA Claiming Horse of the Year.</p>
<p>“Claiming horses are the hard-knocking heroes of this industry, who must prove themselves every day through sweat, muscle and heart,” said National HBPA CEO Eric Hamelback. “Each year our awards committee seeks to reward the best representative. As the heart, soul and brawn of American Thoroughbred racing, they are extremely popular competitors. Their stories, and those of their owners, are often easily identified with and appreciated by all racing's fans.</p>
<p>&#8220;This year the committee had several quality horses to decide from, and it was a tough choice. In the end, Special Reserve and his connections proved the quality of horses that are found within the claiming ranks, the horses that make this industry's foundation. We are honored to recognize the connections at our 2022 Conference at Oaklawn and recognize them for the accomplishments of such a great horse.”</p>
<p>The National HBPA Annual Conference will be March 1-4 at the Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort in Hot Springs, Ark.</p>
<p>Maker, headquartered in Louisville and with divisions throughout the Midwest and East, has made a career out of claiming horses and turning them into graded-stakes winners.</p>
<p>&#8220;He's just phenomenal,&#8221; Staudacher said. &#8220;His program and his team, they're able to move horses up. He's got a real eye for the ones he claims. Winning a couple of stakes races and finishing fourth in the Breeders' Cup was like a dream come true.&#8221;</p>
<p>Proscia and Staudacher both utilize handicapping &#8220;sheets&#8221; and liked what they saw in Special Reserve, with Maker in agreement that they try to claim the horse. Proscia, of Garden City, N.Y., said the gelding fit other parameters they use for identifying horses to claim. That Special Reserve was the longest shot (and the only horse in for the claiming price) in the tough second-level allowance/optional claiming race Feb. 6 at Oaklawn didn't bother them. Their faith was rewarded when the gelding won by a neck at 22-1 odds.</p>
<p>&#8220;I thought he could move forward,&#8221; Proscia said. &#8220;Did I know he was going to be in the Breeders' Cup? No, not a chance. But he started to develop. We gave him the time he needed, spaced the races out and he rewarded us.&#8221;</p>
<p>Five weeks after the claim, Maker ran Special Reserve right back for the second-level allowance condition at Oaklawn, resulting in another victory. The gelding subsequently was second in Keeneland's Grade 3 Commonwealth, won Pimlico's Grade 3 Maryland Sprint Match Series Stakes and the $100,000 Iowa Sprint before his narrow defeat in Saratoga's Alfred G. Vanderbilt.</p>
<p>Special Reserve earned his spot in the Breeders' Cup by taking Keeneland's Grade 2 Stoll Keenon Ogden Phoenix, a &#8220;Win and You're In&#8221; qualifying race for the $2 million Qatar Racing Sprint (G1). That day he defeated eventual Sprint winner Aloha West by a neck. A month later at Del Mar, Special Warrior pressed the very fast favorite Jackie's Warrior, fighting gamely in the stretch before getting passed late to lose the Sprint by a total of 2 1/4 lengths.</p>
<p>The 2021 Claiming Horse of the Year is getting a break after a hard campaign that saw the gelding go 5-2-0 in eight starts, earning $617,100. A son of 2008 juvenile champion <a href="https://www.darleyamerica.com/stallions/our-stallions/midshipman" class="blue-link">Midshipman</a>, Special Reserve has a career record of 8-2-7 in 23 starts while accruing $738,647.</p>
<p>Maker said he is particularly happy to see Proscia and Staudacher recognized.</p>
<p>&#8220;They love the game, whether it's claiming, buying, betting,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Just great guys. It's a very big deal. They get satisfaction at any level of race and any track. If it was up to Peter, he'd have a horse in every race at every track in America.&#8221;</p>
<p>Proscia in turn said Special Reserve's award is a credit to Maker's entire staff.</p>
<p>&#8220;I want to give them a shout out,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The people who should really get the kudos are the ones who work in the barn area. They work all kinds of hours. The people Mike employs are excellent. I've been owning horses since 1989. I have to say, they're exceptional, between the exercise riders, the grooms and the assistants, they do a great job.&#8221;</p>
<p>Maker said Special Reserve's 6-year-old campaign could resemble last year's path. A definite goal is trying to repeat in Keeneland's Phoenix, especially with the Breeders' Cup being at the Lexington track.</p>
<p>&#8220;Hopefully we can duplicate the success,&#8221; he said.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fasig-Tipton has added two additional supplements, both dams of current black-type winners, to the November Sale, which will be held Nov. 9 in Lexington.</p>
<p><strong>Love Spun </strong>(<a href="https://www.darleyamerica.com/stallions/our-stallions/hard-spun" class="horse-link">Hard Spun</a>&#8211;We Love Granny, by Home At Last) is the dam of Special Reserve (<a href="https://www.darleyamerica.com/stallions/our-stallions/midshipman" class="horse-link">Midshipman</a>), who has won or placed in five black-type events this year. The winner of Keeneland's GII Stoll Keenon Ogden Phoenix S. Oct 8 and second in this summer's GI Alfred G. Vanderbilt H., Special Reserve is pointing to the GI Breeders' Cup Sprint Nov. 6.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="font-weight: 400;">The two stakes winners on Friday, opening day of Keeneland's 17-day Fall Meet – Albaugh Family Stables' Juju's Map, the 4¼-length winner of the Grade 1 <a href="https://www.darleyamerica.com/stallions" class="blue-link">Darley</a> Alcibiades, and Paradise Farm Corp. and David Staudacher's Special Reserve, winner of the Grade 1 Stoll Keenon Ogden Phoenix, both spent the night at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Ky., following their triumphs.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">“She's good and happy this morning,” reported Tessa Bisha, assistant to Brad Cox about Juju's Map, who earned a starting berth in the $2 million Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies to be run at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club in Del Mar, Calif., Nov. 5. “She is leaving this morning to go back to Churchill Downs.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reformed claimer Special Reserve pressed, pounced and held on late to earn a guaranteed spot in the starting gate for the GI Breeders' Cup Sprint Friday.</p>
<p>Scooped up for $40,000 from Randy Morse and Doyle Williams out of an upset optional claiming tally at Oaklawn in February&#8211;good for what at the time was by far his best career Beyer Speed Figure of 92&#8211;the late-blooming 5-year-old won right back at that level (not in for the tag) in March before finishing second in the GIII Commonwealth S. over an additional furlong here Apr. 3. He made the grade in Pimlico's GIII Maryland Sprint Match Series S. May 15, bested Quick Tempo (Tapizar) and a next-out stakes winner in the Iowa Sprint at Prairie Meadows July 3 and had been off since finishing a close second in Saratoga's GI Alfred H. Vanderbilt H. four weeks after that.</p>
<p>Away on top, Special Reserve conceded the lead down the backside to freewheeling Quick Tempo through an opening quarter of :21.90. He took back over into a :44.69 half, opened up and then found the line just in time to hold off lightly raced Aloha West in the final strides.</p>
<p>&#8220;He broke really well, and it looked like [Sophie Doyle on Quick Tempo] came up right away, and he was fine with that,&#8221; said red-hot rider Joel Rosario. &#8220;He kind of settled a little bit there, nice and quiet, and then in the turn when the horse was backing up a little bit, he was just ready to go.&#8221;</p>
<p>When asked if he thought his charge could contend with Breeders' Cup-caliber sprinters, trainer Maker said, &#8220;I do believe that. I have a lot of faith in the horse. Joel did a fabulous job today I wasn't expecting to be on the lead today [out of the gate], but the horse was so quick.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>Pedigree Notes: </strong><br />
A green <a href="http://obssales.com/marcatalog/2018/438.mp4">:21 2/5</a> breezer at the 2018 OBS March sale, Special Reserve is one of 22 graded/group winners for his sire&#8211;seven of which have earned that achievement in the Northern Hemisphere. He is one of 13 graded/group winners out of mares by <a href="https://www.darleyamerica.com/stallions/our-stallions/hard-spun" class="horse-link">Hard Spun</a>.</p>
<p>The winner's dam was well beaten in four career starts. She is a half to GSW/MGISP Original Spin (<a href="https://www.winstarfarm.com/horses/distorted-humor-2014.html" class="horse-link">Distorted Humor</a>) and MSW/GSP Humor at Last (<a href="https://www.winstarfarm.com/horses/distorted-humor-2014.html" class="horse-link">Distorted Humor</a>). Love Spun sold to Mapleton Thoroughbred Farm for $6,500 carrying a full brother to Special Reserve. She produced a Cowtown Cat colt Mar. 28 before being bred back to that Ohio-based stallion for 2022.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Despite not making his stakes debut until his 5-year-old son, Paradise Farms and David Staudacher's Special Reserve has proven he deserves a chance against the world's best sprinters next month at Del Mar. This Friday, the son of <a href="https://www.darleyamerica.com/stallions/our-stallions/midshipman" class="blue-link">Midshipman</a> delivered as the 6-5 favorite in the Grade 2 Phoenix Stakes at Keeneland, earning an expenses-paid berth for the Breeders' Cup Sprint.</p>
<p>Jockey Joel Rosario never panicked when losing the early lead, and kept Special Reserve driving through the finish line to hold off the late charge of Aloha West by a neck. Special Reserve completed six furlongs over the fast main track in 1:08.54, giving trainer Mike Maker his first victory in the Phoenix.</p>
<div class="desktop-only inline-advertisement zoneid-197"  id="adleft"><span id='zone_197_0' class='digome_advertising'><ins data-revive-zoneid=197 data-revive-id="b284fa4ee2b53b5c0fb16aa42e76910a"></ins></span></div><div class="mobile-only mobile-content-inline mobilezoneid-198"><ins data-revive-zoneid=198 data-revive-id="b284fa4ee2b53b5c0fb16aa42e76910a"></ins></div>
<p>Special Reserve was very quick out of the gate, leading for the first sixteenth of a mile until Quick Tempo rushed up the inside to take command by a length. Quick Tempo led through fractions of :21.90 and :44.69, with Rosario waiting patiently in second on Special Reserve. Just Might was close up in third, while Mucho stayed near the rail in fourth.</p>
<p>Rounding the turn, Rosario allowed Special Reserve to take over and set him down for the stretch run. Just Might went three wide but failed to sustain his bid. Mucho had to wait for racing room as he moved by the tiring Quick Tempo, while Aloha West began to unleash his rally way out in the center of the course.</p>
<p>Special Reserve was kept to task through the wire, and had just enough left to fend off the challenge from Aloha West, winning by a neck at the wire. Mucho checked in third, while Endorsed closed to fill out the superfecta.</p>
<p>Bred in Kentucky by Russell L. Reineman, Special Reserve is out of the <a href="https://www.darleyamerica.com/stallions/our-stallions/hard-spun" class="blue-link">Hard Spun</a> mare Love Spun. He commanded $60,000 as a yearling at the <a href="http://www.fasigtipton.com/" class="blue-link">Fasig-Tipton</a> Kentucky July sale, and later brought a final bid of $140,000 at the <a href="http://www.obssales.com/" class="blue-link">OBS</a> March 2-year-old sale. Special Reserve began his career in the barn of Randy Mores. He required six starts to break his maiden, and ran in the claiming ranks for a tag as low as $25,000.</p>
<p>Maker claimed Special Reserve for $40,000 in February of this year, and the horse has not finished worse than second since. He was second in the G3 Commonwealth at Keeneland in April, then won the G3 Maryland Sprint at Pimlico in July. Next out Special Reserve won the listed Iowa Sprint Stakes on July 3 at Prairie Meadows, and followed up that effort with a second in the G1 Vanderbilt at Saratoga on July 31, beaten just a half-length by Lexitonian.</p>
<p>Overall, Special Reserve's record stands at eight wins from 22 starts, with earnings of $638,647.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It took five years and 19 races, but Lexitonian notched a triple-digit Beyer Speed Figure for the first time when he registered his first career Grade 1 victory by topping Special Reserve by a half-length to win Saturday's $350,000 Alfred G. Vanderbilt at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., garnering a 102 number.</p>
<p>The Jack Sisterson trainee came close previously to attaining Grade 1-winner status when finishing second by a head to Flagstaff in a highly competitive edition of the seven-furlong Grade 1 Churchill Downs on Kentucky Derby Day May 1.</p>
<div class="inline-advertisement zoneid-166" id="adleft"><span id='zone_166_0' class='digome_advertising'><ins data-revive-zoneid="166" data-revive-id="b284fa4ee2b53b5c0fb16aa42e76910a"></ins></span></div>
<p>After running last-of-sixth and being eased in the Grade 1 Hill 'n' Dale Metropolitan on Belmont Stakes Day June 5, Lexitonian cut back to six furlongs in the Vanderbilt and shined, dueling Special Reserve in the stretch before edging clear, improving his career record to 5-2-2 with earnings at $687,682.</p>
<p>“I was just sitting outside his stall watching him this morning and he looks great and energetic,” Sisterson said. “He came out of the race in great shape. I was really proud of his effort because from a past performance standpoint, he might be a little untrustworthy at times with a good race and a bad race, but he does all the hard work. We don't mind taking a shot with him and being a longshot. As long as he's doing well, he gives us the confidence to run in any type of race we can.”</p>
<p>Lexitonian, who came into Sisterson's care in 2019, won his first graded race as a sophomore when capturing the 2019 Grade 3 Chick Lang that marked his lone graded stakes score before yesterday. Sisterson said the late-blooming success is reminiscent of his sire Speightstown, who did not win a graded stakes until his 6-year-old campaign in 2004 when he won four of them, including that year's Alfred G. Vanderbilt and Breeders' Cup Sprint.</p>
<p>“We always felt, even when we originally got him, that he had talent but could get better with age,” Sisterson said. “Dan Pride from Godolphin stopped by the barn this morning because he has horses with Brendan Walsh, as we share the same barn. Dan told me that Speightstown didn't win his first Grade 1 until 6 and had an 18-month layoff, so I can understand now why Lexitonian is doing what he's doing at the age of 5.”</p>
<p>Lexitonian, a Calumet Farm homebred, won for the first time in his last seven starts overall and posted his first victory since May 2020. Sisterson said it's a possibility the Kentucky homebred could make a return engagement in the $600,000 Grade 1 Forego at seven furlongs on Travers Day August 28.</p>
<p>“Right after the race, I like to set a plan and obviously we're here in Saratoga and he handled the track well yesterday, so the next stop could potentially be the Forego,” Sisterson said. “We'll see how he comes out of the race and goes from there. But you're looking at the race at Belmont [$250,000 Grade 2 Vosburgh on October 9] or bringing back home for the [Grade 2] Phoenix [October 8 at Keeneland]. The ultimate goal is the Breeders' Cup Sprint at the end of the year.”</p>
<p>In last year's Forego, Lexitonian ran fifth in an 11-horse field over a sloppy and sealed track in heavy rain. Sisterson said potential improved conditions could facilitate a better start this time should he choose to run him there.</p>
<p>“I know I'm a little biased, but I didn't think he ran badly in the Forego last year,” Sisterson said. “It was in a downpour and probably not his ideal conditions. He paid $70 yesterday, so no one respected him. But I understand why the public felt that way, because he threw in a clunker there, but when he's on his form, he has a chance.”</p>

<p>Fellow Calumet Farm homebred Channel Cat set the pace in the $250,000 Grade 2 Bowling Green on Saturday before finishing fourth in the eight-horse field in the 1 3/8-mile inner turf test for older horses. Channel Cat, who was ridden by Hall of Famer John Velazquez for the third straight race, registered a 97 Beyer in his first race since running seventh in the Grade 1 Manhattan on Belmont Stakes Day.</p>
<p>“He looks in great shape this morning,” Sisterson said. “John gave him a great ride. We felt he'd be the speed early and it was, but it just wasn't his day. He's doing well.”</p>
<p>Channel Cat, the winner of the Grade 1 Man o' War in May at Belmont, has already achieved millionaire status, with the 6-year-old English Channel son compiling a 6-3-5 record in 28 starts with earnings of $1,406,022.</p>
<p>Tango Tango Tango, also owned by Calumet Farm, breezed four furlongs in :50.60 seconds on Saturday over the Keeneland Race Course main track.</p>
<p>The 3-year-old Tourist colt, who won his stakes debut last out in the 1 1/16-mile American Derby on July 17 at Arlington Park, was a possibility for the $1 million Grade 1 Saratoga Derby Invitational on August 7. But Sisterson said it's more likely Tango Tango Tango will return to Arlington to run in the $300,000 Grade 1 Bruce D – a race formerly knowns as the Secretariat – on August 14.</p>
<p>“Probably more than likely, we'll go back to Arlington with him,” Sisterson said.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>Undefeated as a sprinter this season, Cash is King and LC Racing's <b>Mischevious Alex</b> (Into Mischief) will turn back to six furlongs after being defeated in the one-mile GI <a href="https://claibornefarm.com/stallions/runhappy/" class="horse-link">Runhappy</a> Metropolitan H. as a likely favorite in Saturday's GI Alfred G. Vanderbilt H. at Saratoga.</span></p>
<p>Proving himself as an exciting sophomore prospect last season with back-to-back open-lengths scores in the GIII Swale S. and GIII Gotham S., but missed the triple Crown and failed to crack the trifecta in his last two starts for John Servis when fourth in the GI Woody Stephens S. and sixth in the GI H. Allen Jerkens S. Transferred to Saffie Joseph and laid up for over five months, the $75,000 Keeneland September bargain came back with three straight dominant victories, culminating with a 5 1/2-length score in the GI Carter H. that earned a field-best 109 Beyer. He was unable to quite stick it out in the Met Mile though, flattening out late to be third after contesting the pace.</p>
<p>Hard-knocking 14-time winner <b>Firenze Fire</b> (Poseidon's Warrior) will also try to rebound after suffering a rare defeat over his favorite track at Belmont. The victor of a remarkable 11 stakes races, he was last of four in last summer's Vanderbilt and again could see them all at the finish in the local GI Forego S., dropping his record to just one win in seven starts lifetime at the Spa. He's picked up three graded stakes trophies since though, all at Belmont, before being narrowly outdueled by Mind Control (Stay Thirsty) in the GII John A. Nerud S. last out July 4.</p>
<p>The ever-popular <b>Whitmore</b> (Pleasantly Perfect) is back for another bite at the apple after running a strong second in last year's Vanderbilt. Out of the top three in his next two outings, he unleashed a powerful stretch run to upset the GI Breeders' Cup Sprint by 3 1/4 lengths, locking up champion male sprinter honors. He's yet to find the mark in three tries as a 7-year-old, however, running second in the Hot Springs S. and GIII Count Fleet Sprint H. and most recently a close third in the GI Churchill Downs S. May 1.</p>
<p>The 'now' horse may be improving 5-year-old gelding <b>Special Reserve</b> (<a href="https://www.darleyamerica.com/stallions/our-stallions/midshipman" class="horse-link">Midshipman</a>). Haltered by Mike Maker for $40,000 out of an allowance/optional claiming spot Feb. 6 at Oaklawn, the bay has gone three-for-four since, with his only loss coming when second in the GIII Commonwealth S. Apr. 3 at Keeneland. When last seen, he dueled through a jaw-dropping :43.35 half-mile split and kicked away in the final furlong to a 2 3/4-length conquest of the Iowa Sprint S. July 3 at Prairie Meadows.</p>
