FAYPIEN (f, 3, Ghostzapper">Ghostzapper–Mighty Eros {SW}, by Freud), a well-beaten third at 11-1 on debut behind 'TDN Rising Star' and subsequent ultra-impressive GI Santa Anita Oaks heroine Paradise Woods (Union Rags) going 5 1/2 furlongs at Santa Anita Mar. 11, was backed accordingly as the 6-5 favorite here. Faypien zipped through a five-furlong bullet in :59 3/5 (1/72) in Arcadia Apr. 16 and raced in between horses here as four of them lined up through an opening quarter in :22.67. Faypien, a $720,000 OBS April graduate (Click for our OBS April coverage), set her sights on the leader entering the far turn, began to emerge from the pack as they straightened for home and enjoyed a 4 1/2-length advantage over Utana (Curlin) at the wire.
Mighty Eros, bred in New York by Thomas/Lakin, was campaigned by Off The Hook Racing to a win in the 2007 New York Stallion Park Avenue S. She has also produced a filly by Munnings in 2016 and was bred back to Zivo. Off The Hook's Joe Appelbaum signed the slip on Mighty Eros for $55,000 at the 2006 OBS February 2 Year Old Sale.
