FEDERAL CASE (Gemologist) makes his first start since being acquired by Robert and Lawana Low for $650,000 at Keeneland November–the most paid for a male horse of racing age at that auction. The bay was a $180,000 KEESEP yearling pick-up by WinStar Farm, China Horse Club and SF Racing. Turned over to Rodolphe Brissett, he scored first up by a half-length going approximately seven furlongs in Lexington Oct. 19, earning a 77 Beyer Speed Figure for that effort. Federal Case is now conditioned by Todd Pletcher, who trained 'TDN Rising Star' Magnum Moon (Malibu Moon) to a victories in last year's GII Rebel S. and GI Arkansas Derby for the Lows. TJCIS PPs
