LEWIS BAY (f, 2, Bernardini–Summer Raven {GSW, $168,910}, by Summer Squall) set a quick pace and was caught in deep stretch when second in her six-panel debut in the mud here Sept. 13 and was tabbed as the 6-5 choice to go one better in this spot. The homebred settled to track the tempo from the outside as longshot first-timer Thundering Sky (Sky Mesa) showed the way through a quarter-mile in :22.92. Advancing in hand on the turn, the bay rallied to the front at the head of the lane and drew off with good energy to score by six lengths. Thundering Sky held on to preserve place honors and Verve's Tale (Tale of Ekati) completed the trifecta. Conquering (War Front), out of MGISW Take Charge Lady (Dehere), tired to finish 11th. The winner is a half to Misconnect (Unbridled's Song), GSW, $327,100; and Winslow Homer (Unbridled's Song), GSW, $273,365. This is the extended family of MGISW Wild Rush (Wild Again). Summer Raven, a winner of the GIII Tempted S., foaled a Distorted Humor colt in 2014 and was bred back to Candy Ride (Arg) this term. Sales history: $170,000 RNA Ylg '14 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, $60,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
