(NW1$X)/Opt. Clm ($80,000), 6-8, 3yo, 1mT, 1:33.31, fm.RAGING BULL (FR) (c, 3, Dark Angel {Ire}–Rosa Bonheur {SP-Fr}, by Mr. Greeley) earned a solid 87 Beyer Speed Figure for a first-up success over several next-out graduates at Keeneland Apr. 19, and was 6-5 to clear his next condition against a lightly raced bunch. Away towards the back behind a swift :22.94 opening quarter set by Morrison (The Factor), the bay started to rev up out wide behind a more sensible :47.15 half. Slingshotting widest into the lane, Raging Bull picked off foes in hand and blew past Morrison to get the job done by 3/4 of a while providing trainer Chad Brown with his third win of four on the card and the hot-riding Joel Rosario his second. According to Trakus data, Raging Bull covered 35 ft. more than the runner-up and came home in a snappy :22.19. A €90,000 Goffs Orby yearling, he is a grandson of MGSW and Italian highweight Rolly Polly (Ire) (Mukaddamah). He has an unraced 2-year-old half-sister named Rapture (Fr) (Pivotal {GB}) and a weanling half-sister named Siyoubaby (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}). Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0, $88,500.
