The bay, a $220,000 in utero purchase at KEENOV '15, is out of a half-sister to Grade I winners Paulassilverlining (Ghostzapper) and Dads Caps (Discreet Cat). In the second division of juvenile fillies maidens in race four, Casse will saddle Power Gal (Jpn) (Empire Maker) on behalf of Gary Barber. Out of Grade I-placed Nan (High Yield), herself a half to Grade I-winning grasser Gabriel Charles (Street Hero), the dark bay's year-old half-brother also made it to the States. Eventually named Nantucket (Jpn) (Stay Gold {Jpn}), he most recently finished a close third in a Tampa turf maiden special weight Mar. 31. Nan was a $150,000 Fasig-Tipton November acquisition by Paca Paca Farm in 2010.
