ELECTRIC FOREST (f, 3, Curlin–Forest Music {MGSW & MGISP, $370,566}, by Unbridled's Song)followed in the hoofprints of her 'TDN Rising Star' half-brothers Maclean's Music (Distorted Humor) and Kentuckian (Tiznow) with a good-looking debut win at Keeneland Saturday. Away a step slow from post 11, the 5-2 shot quickly got her legs beneath her and moved up from the four path to sit mid-pack off a quick first quarter in :22.03. Progressing up the outside as they hit the half in :45.75, the Stonestreet homebred was even with leader East Moon (Speightstown) exiting the bend, but that rival began to edge away a bit in early stretch. Electric Forest would not let her get away that easily, however, and kept on finding to overtake that foe in the final furlong and kick clear by 1 1/2 lengths. Maclean's Music made just one start, but he made it count, earning a 114 Beyer Speed Figure for one of the most impressive debut performances ever. He has proven his worth as a stallion, siring 2017 GI Preakness S. winner Cloud Computing in his first crop. Kentuckian, GSW, $177,830, was a $610,000 KEESEP yearling himself. Forest Music, who took her own debut by 8 1/2 lengths with a 105 Beyer, annexed the 2005 GII Honorable Miss H. after being purchased privately by Stonestreet. She has a yearling colt by Uncle Mo and was bred back to Bernardini. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $44,400. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
