+RETRO (f, 2, Giant's Causeway–Grace Anatomy {GISP, $171,340}, by Aldebaran) was bet hard for her debut and narrowly rewarded her backers on the Del Mar lawn. Showing an above-average worktab, finished off by a five-furlong local main track spin in 1:00 flat (7/26) Aug. 29, the $170,000 KEESEP grad got backed down to 12-5 and came away well to sit in fifth along the rail, about seven lengths behind sharp splits of :22.75 and :46.85. Angling off the fence heading into the far turn, the dark bay moved in tandem with two other runners after pace player Super Good (Super Saver) and was just up to beat that one by a head. The winner's third dam is GISW turfer Plenty of Grace (Roberto). She has a yearling half-brother by Declaration of War and a weanling Uncle Mo half-brother. Sales History: $170,000 Ylg '16 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $36,000.
