+MAXIMUM EDGE (f, 2, Dialed In–Champagne Sparkle, by Street Boss), purchased for $160,000 at OBS March after a :10 flat breeze, is the first starter and now the first winner for her freshman sire (by Mineshaft). Let go at 5-1 despite a three-panel bullet in :37 3/5 here May 16, the firster tracked from a ground-saving fourth early through an opening quarter in :22.74. Tipped out for a four-wide bid at the top of the stretch, the gray battled 2-5 chalk Golden Mischief (Into Mischief) stride-for-stride to the wire and edged clear late for a neck success. Maximum Edge is the first foal out of Champagne Sparkle, an unraced full-sister to GI Arkansas Derby and GI Kentucky Derby third Danza (Street Boss); and a half to GISW millionaire Majestic Harbor (Rockport Harbor). Champagne Sparkle also has a yearling colt by Drosselmeyer and was bred back to Malib Moon. Sales history: $95,000 RNA Ylg '15 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $26,400.
