Chad Brown sends out a pair of two seemingly well-meant first-timers in this maiden heat with Irad and Jose Ortiz set to ride. Paul Pompa's YOUR LOVE (Flatter) is a full-sister to Economic Model–who finished second in last summer's GI King's Bishop S. at Saratoga for Brown–as well as a half to Jimmy Simms (Lost Soldier), a graded stakes-placed earner of $635,616. The $425,000 KEESEP yearling has been working steadily since late February ahead of this debut. Three Chimneys Farm's Quiet Flirt (Malibu Moon) demonstrates a similarly consistent worktab and shipped up from Palm Meadows two weeks ago. A half to GI Clark H. hero and G1 Dubai World Cup runner-up Gun Runner (Candy Ride {Arg}) out of the Grade II winning mare Quiet Giant (Giant's Causeway)–herself a half to 2005 Horse of the Year Saint Liam (Saint Ballado)–Quiet Flirt breaks from the widest post in a field of eight. Mark Hennig has a firster of his own in Sweet Avery (Distorted Humor), a Courtlandt Farms homebred daughter of four-time graded stakes winner Ready's Gal (More Than Ready). TJCIS PPs
