+BEST PERFORMANCE (f, 2, Broken Vow–Give My Regards, by Smart Strike) summoned $300,000 at the recent Fasig-Tipton March sale after breezing in :10 3/5 and was dispatched at 2-1 for this debut. Chasing from fourth early, the chestnut saved ground behind 3-5 chalk On the Hassle (Orb) as a pair of foes duked it out on the front end through an opening quarter in :22.58. The favorite made a three-wide bid to swiftly seize command at the top of the stretch with Best Performance right alongside her and the battle ensued from there. Best Performance got the better of On the Hassle in the final strides, edging clear late for a one-length success. The winner's dam is a half-sister to MGSW Broadway Empire (Empire Maker). Sales history: $185,000 Ylg '16 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $60,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
