LUTSKY (c, 2, Yes It's True–Reen, by Forestry) continued a red-hot streak for trainer Jason Servis with a sharp wire-to-wire debut score Thursday at Belmont. Sold for $135,000 at Fasig-Tipton Midlantic after breezing a quarter-mile in :21 4/5, the bay was bet strongly throughout in this New York-bred event and broke like he was shot out of a cannon as the 17-10 chalk. Showing the way through a :22.70 quarter, he easily shook loose from his closest pursuers after straightening for home and cruised under the wire to graduate by a geared-down 5 1/4 lengths in sharp time. Stop Me If You Can (Giant Surprise) completed the exacta, just ahead of Trance (Dialed In), who ran sneaky well despite a slow break and considerable greenness. The winner has a yearling half-sister by Verrazano. Sales History: $25,000 Ylg '17 KEEJAN; $37,000 Ylg '17 SARAUG. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $37,200.
