Jack Van Berg unveils the first foal out of champion Blind Luck (Pollard's Vision) in 4-year-old Mark DeDomenico homebred I'M THE REASON (Bernardini). DeDomenico was part of the partnership that campaigned Blind Luck to six Grade I victories and over $3.2-million in earnings before buying the Eclipse winner outright for $2.5 million at the 2011 Keeneland November sale. Steve Asmussen saddles a well-related second timer in Stonestreet Stables' Marcy Darcy (Smart Strike), a daughter of GISW Hot Dixie Chick (Dixie Union) and a half-sister to SW & GSP “TDN Rising Star” Union Jackson (Curlin). The chestnut checked in fourth behind the likes of Saturday's GI Ashland S. upsetter Sailor's Valentine (Mizzen Mast) and GIII Bourbonette Oaks winner Purely a Dream (Pure Prize) in her Keeneland unveiling last October.
