Joe Sutton's BLAST (Harlan's Holiday) showed a fair bit of promise in two late-season starts in 2015, belying debut odds of 7-1 to defeat future SP Durango (First Samurai) by 1 3/4 lengths at Churchill Downs Sept. 25. Favored in her lone other appearance of the year, the bay settled nicely in a six-furlong allowance beneath the Twin Spires and ran on well late to finish second, beaten a half-length.
