1st-Belmont, $62,000, (S), Msw, 6-30, 2yo, 6fT, 1:09.90, fm.
MARKET BUBBLE (c, 2, Fed Biz–Tulipmania, by Empire Maker) became the first winner for his WinStar-based freshman sire (by Giant's Causeway), coming with a stinging final-furlong rally to graduate at first asking in the day's opening race by Belmont Park. Backed down late into 29-10 third favoritism, the bay colt was hustled along early by Junior Alvarado to chase from third as favored The Postmaster (Cosmonaut) took them along at just a moderate pace. A bit one-paced nearing the lane, Market Bubble responded when asked in upper stretch and kicked home smartly, clocking :22.71 over his final two furlongs to score by a half-length. Colts Neck Stables bred Fed Biz, a three-time graded winner and Grade I-placed on both turf and dirt. The winner's SW & GSP second dam Eventail (Lear Fan), a half-sister to MGISW and top producer Take Charge Lady (Dehere), was responsible for Straight Story (Giant's Causeway), a $400,000 KEESEP yearling who carried the Colts Neck colors to a 38-1 upset of the GII Autumn S. at Woodbine and was also victorious in the grassy GIII Fort Marcy S. and runner-up in the GI Jamaica H. Take Charge Lady's distinguished offspring include champion and fellow freshman sire Will Take Charge (Unbridled's Song) and GISW Take Charge Indy (A.P. Indy), while she is also the granddam of champion Take Charge Brandi (Giant's Causeway). The winner's dam foaled a Malibu Moon filly in 2017 and produced a Giant's Causeway filly this term. A $185,000 graduate of the 2016 Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred Sale, Market Bubble was a $375,000 graduate of this year's OBS March sale after breezing a quarter-mile in :21 1/5. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $37,200. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
