PRETTY LIAM (f, 3, Liam's Map–Sylphide, by Blame) debuted as the 7-2 second choice with first time Lasix here.

Cutting to the outside just before the top of the lane, the 3-year-old unleashed a barrage down the center of the course and won over the pacesetter by 3 3/4 lengths. The winner is a half-sister to Danse Macabre (Army Mule), GSW, $957,090. A half-sister to MGSW/MGISP Cambodia (War Front), Sylphide produced a 2-year-old filly by Always Dreaming and a yearling filly by Army Mule. She was bred back to that same sire for this spring. Under the third dam we find South African champion Overarching (Arch) and the dam of GISW Abscond (Blame). Sales History: $240,000 RNA Ylg '22 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $42,000.

Constitution Colt Kicks Off Gulfstream Card with ‘Rising Star’ Performance

Born Noble (c, 2, Constitution–Zapperkat, by Ghostzapper) was as green as the St. Elias Stable silks he was carrying, but overcame his inexperience with a powerful 'TDN Rising Star' performance for Todd Pletcher at first asking in the opener on Pegasus Preview day at Gulfstream Park.

The 6-5 favorite jumped well from his outside draw and secured a perfect spot in second behind second-time starter and 6-5 second-choice Bonus Move (Twirling Candy). Born Noble cruised up alongside the pacesetter at the five-sixteenths marker and took over with authority at the top of the stretch.

Hanging on his left lead as they straightened for home, Born Noble lugged in sharply while well clear following a pair of left-handers from jockey Irad Ortiz, Jr. He leveled off from there while racing under a snug hold after finally switching over before the sixteenth pole and crossed the wire 5 1/2 lengths to the good. Big City (City of Light) tagged Bonus Move for second.

Born Noble, a $725,000 KEESEP yearling, is the ninth 'Rising Star' for Constitution. The Constitution x Ghostzapper cross is also responsible for GSW & GISP Law Professor.

The winner's dam Zapperkat, third as the favorite in the 2016 GI Chandelier S., was disqualified from first and placed second for interference in the following year's GIII Torrey Pines S. Purchased by WinStar Farm for $485,000 as a broodmare prospect at the 2017 Fasig-Tipton November Sale, Zapperkat is also responsible for a Constitution yearling filly ($170,000 KEESEP purchase by Shaker Stable). Zapperkat was bred to Life Is Good for 2024. This is the extended female family of two-time champion Silverbulletday (Silver Deputy).

1st-Gulfstream, $60,000, Msw, 12-30, 2yo, 7f, 1:24.27, gd, 5 1/2 lengths.

Up to the Mark to Lane’s End Upon Conclusion of Racing Career

Repole Stable and St. Elias Stable's MGISW Up to the Mark (Not This Time–Belle's Finale, by Ghostzapper), will enter stud at Lane's End Farm at the conclusion of his racing career, the Kentucky Farm announced on Monday. The 4-year-old colt, who won the GI Manhattan S. At Belmont Park and the GI Turf Classic Stakes in his last two starts, has so far amassed a career line of 10-5-0-2, $1158,650 and is trained by Todd Pletcher.

“He's a horse that we were always high on since he was two,” trainer Todd Pletcher said. “He broke his maiden first out on the dirt, but with the switch to the turf he really put that talent on display with his tremendous turn of foot. His impressive wins in the Turf Classic and the Manhattan showed that he is one of the top grass horses in the U.S., and his speed figures back that up.”

Bred in Kentucky by Ramspring Farm, Up to the Mark was a $450,000 Keeneland September Yearling Sale purchase in 2020. His dam, Belle's Finale, is a daughter of GISW Capote Belle (Capote), a full sister to GSP and stakes producer Zapper Belle (Ghostzapper).

“Up to the Mark's versatility and looks are what initially attracted Lane's End,” Lane's End's Bill Farish said. “He has a dirt pedigree and is by an emerging young sire. He really showed that he is one of the top turf horses in the U.S. with his dominating wins in back-to-back grade ones. We have a history in standing stallions that can get runners on all three surfaces and feel Up to the Mark has the potential to follow in that tradition.”
