+BOBBY ABU DHABI (c, 2, Macho Uno–Wadena, by Saint Ballado), an $85,000 KEESEP yearling, blossomed into a $335,000 OBS April 2-year-old after breezing in :09 4/5 and boasted a series of speedy works at San Luis Rey in preparation for this career bow. Sent off the narrow second-choice at 2-1, the chestnut broke sharply and pressed from a head second through sharp early splits of :22.19 and :45.71. Three wide turning for home, Bobby Abu Dhabi skipped clear in mid-stretch and held off a strong late run from Adorned (Uncle Mo) to win by a head. The winner is a half to Papa Turf (Yes It's True), SP, $188,525. His dam Wadena is responsible for a yearling colt by First Samurai and a weanling colt by Flatter. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $31,200.
