Stuart S. Janney III debuts his homebred BLOCKADE (War Front&log=">War Front) and the gray colt enters with a handful of promising morning trials on the turf at Fair Hill and more recently at Saratoga. He is a full-brother to the 3-year-old Profiteer, a maiden winner at second asking last October, a close runner-up in the grassy Colombia S. at Tampa in March and an 8-1 allowance winner at Saratoga on the Travers Day undercard Aug. 26. Blockade hails from the deeper female family of Honey Ryder (Lasting Approval). Victor Lounge (Ire) (Declaration of War), a $200K FTSAUG yearling who fetched the same price at FTFMAR this year, is a half-brother to 2015 G2 Norfolk S. winner Waterloo Bridge (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) and to French GSW & G1SP Forces of Darkness (Ire) (Lawman {Fr}).
