8th-Churchill Downs, $125,785, Alw, 5-21, (NW1X), 3yo/up, 6 1/2f, 1:15.88, ft, 1 3/4 lengths.
SAUDI CROWN (c, 3, Always Dreaming–New Narration, by Tapit) was sparkling in his debut Apr. 16 at Keeneland last month when he kicked away by 4 3/4 lengths. Looking to clear the next condition here, the 1-2 heavy favorite showed speed early and despite receiving pressure from Sweet Cherry Pie (Twirling Candy) into the far turn–the half was a brisk :45.01–the gray colt responded into the stretch. Set down for a drive past the eighth pole, Saudi Crown showed mettle and with a final push, put away his rival by 1 3/4 lengths. Out of an unraced dam, the winner hails from a female line that includes second dam GSW New Normal (Forestry) and third dam MGSW New Economy (Red Ransom). New Narration produced a 2-year-old unraced colt named Truncator (Exaggerator), who was sent to Panama last year after being purchased at the Fasig-Tipton Yearling sale for $16,000 by Jose Blanco. She also has a yearling filly by Yoshida (Jpn) and was bred last year to King for a Day. Sales History: $45,000 Ylg '21 KEEJAN; $240,000 2yo '22 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0, $131,085.

1st-Keeneland, $100,000, Msw, 4-14, 3yo/up, 6f, 1:09.94, ft, 2 3/4 lengths.
SWEET CHERRY PIE (c, 3, Twirling Candy–Sweet Cat {MGSP, $232,950}, by Kitten's Joy) clearly had no qualms about facing older horses in just his second start off a troubled fourth-place debut at Gulfstream Park six weeks ago, checking in behind the highly regarded winner Scotland (Good Magic). Cutting back a furlong off his Florida debut at seven-eighths, the Kentucky-bred showed early speed right out of the gate and raced closest to the rail as he battled with Cape Trafalgar (Lord Nelson) for the early lead up the backstretch, with Nasty Habit (Violence) and the 4-5 favored Global Stage (Street Sense) up close and pressing the two early leaders. The winner took the lead around the bend and posted the half-mile in :45.78 as he straightened out for the drive, and despite not swapping leads down the lane, pulled away to the handy 2 1/4-length victory over the favorite at odds of 4-1. Sweet Cherry Pie's dam, Sweet Cat, sold for $45,000 in 2019 while carrying him just yards from the Keeneland winner's circle and he is her last reported foal.
