King Fury Proves Best in Street Sense S.

Blue-blooded King Fury bounced back from an uninspiringly flat performance in the GI Breeders Futurity at Keeneland earlier this month to win Sunday’s Street Sense S. at Churchill Downs. Favored at 4-5 to make amends, the chestnut was a two-wide fourth going into the first turn and remained comfortably off the rail heading into the far turn. Starting to make up ground approaching the quarter pole, the $950,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling purchase wrested the lead from GISP Super Stock in the stretch and drew clear late to score by a half length over the favorite. A debut winner at Churchill Downs Sept. 3, the colt is the first foal out of Grade I winner and millionaire Taris (Flatter), who brought $2.35 million at the F-T Fall Mixed sale in 2014.

Pricey Curlin Colt Out of Taris Scores First-Time Out at Churchill

7th-Churchill Downs, $100,436, Msw, 9-3, 2yo, 1 1/16m, 1:45.55, ft.

KING FURY (c, 2, Curlin–Taris {GISW, $1,086,260}, by Flatter), a $950,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling last year, donned cap and gown at first asking Thursday over the Churchill main track. Positioned midpack on the outside and always interested while in a good stalking spot in the strung-out field, the chestnut made a wide move on the turn after sitting behind fractions of :24.58 and :48.76. He came a bit awkwardly into the stretch, but ground down the leaders to shake clear late and score by 2 3/4 lengths. It was a blanket finish for the next five across the line, with 26-1 Ram (American Pharoah) getting the place spot by a nose and 12-1 Palazzi (Pioneerof the Nile) in third. The winner, who went off at nearly 7-1, is the first foal out of Taris, winner of the GI Humana Distaff S. over this surface in 2016 in addition to four other graded stakes. She sold as a racing or broodmare prospect at Fasig-Tipton’s Kentucky Fall sale in 2014 for $2,350,000. King Fury is her only reported foal. Sales History: $950,000 Ylg ’19 FTSAUG. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $55,144. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
