BEHOLDER (f, 2, Henny Hughes--Leslie's Lady {SW, $187,014}, by Tricky Creek) finished fourth on debut behind "TDN Rising Star" Executiveprivilege (First Samurai) at Betfair Hollywood Park June 28, and returned three weeks later to break her maiden at Del Mar July 22. Facing off against Executiveprivilege once again in the GI Del Mar Debutante Sept. 1, Beholder was just nipped by that rival on the wire after setting quick early fractions. Favored at 3-5 to record her second career victory here, Beholder once again sprang to the lead from the break, set hot early fractions, and sprinted clear of her rivals in the stretch to win geared down by 11 lengths. The winner is a half to Into Mischief (Harlan's Holiday), GISW, $597,080, who carried the B. Wayne Hughes silks to victory in the 2007 GI CashCall Futurity. Sales history: $180,000 yrl '11 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: GISP, 4-2-1-0, $135,000. Click for the brisnet.com chart or Video, sponsored by Taylor Made Sales.
