George Strawbridge homebred SMART TOGETHER (Smart Strike) is repatriated to continue her career after breaking her maiden at second asking while under the care of John Gosden at Haydock Park last May (video) before earning black-type when third in a listed event going this trip at Newbury the following month. The filly's dam, Forever Together (Belong to Me), needs no introduction, as she tallied four Grade I events, including the 2008 GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf which secured her the Eclipse Award as this country's top turf distaffer. Michael Matz also conditions Smart Together's full-sister Truly Together, third in this year's GIII Lambholm South Endeavour S. at Tampa. TJCIS PPs
