  SAINT-CLOUD, 1.55, Mdn, 18,000, 2yo, c/g, 1mT, 1:51.20, hy

  Visindar (GB), C, 2, by Sinndar (Ire)

1st Dam: Visor, by Mr. Prospector

2nd Dam: Look, by Spectacular Bid

3rd Dam: Tuerta, by Forli (Arg)

Visindar, sent off the 11-10 crowd’s choice to make a winning debut in holding conditions, showed early speed to stalk the pace. Taking over at the top of the straight, he was pushed out to assert and drew clear with ease to best Kouloubali (Fr) (Kouroun {Fr}) by four lengths. The winner is a half brother to Visionary (Fr) (Linamix {Fr}), SW & G1SP-Fr, $106,631; Visionnaire (Fr) (Linamix {Fr}), MG1SP-Fr, $103,224; and Visorama (Ire) (Linamix {Fr}), GSW & G1SP-Fr, $181,554. His third dam produced the ill-fated Kentucky Derby winner Swale. Lifetime Record: 1 start, 1 win, €9,000.
