  Churchill Downs, Race 3, Msw, 40,390, 2yo, 4 1/2f, :50 (NTR), ft

  Notonthesamepage, C, 2, by Catienus

1st Dam: Blue Holiday, by Cure the Blues

2nd Dam: Anguilla Holiday, by Lear Fan

3rd Dam: Angalia, by Damascus

Notonthesamepage, a son of the solid New York-bred racemare Blue Holiday, showed early speed and tired to finish a respectable third behind impressive firster Merkel (Forest Wildcat) in his Apr. 4 Keeneland debut. The chestnut fired two bullets since--a four-furlong move at Keeneland in :46 Apr. 17 and a three-furlong breeze at Churchill in :34 Apr. 23. With Jesus Castanon in the irons here, the even-money favorite broke like a shot out of the gate. The Ramsey homebred led by four lengths through an opening quarter in :21.75, saw his lead cut down to 1 1/2 lengths through a half mile in a sparkling :44.12, but hit another gear in deep stretch to score by three lengths while setting a new track record. The previous mark of :50 2/5 was set by subsequent GIII Schuylerville S. heroine Subtle Aly (French Envoy) last June. Victory Ready (More Than Ready) completed the exacta. Swingin Cat (Forest Wildcat) was scratched. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-1, $28,578.
