+PAUSEFORTHECAUSE (f, 2, Giant's Causeway–Spritely {MSW & MGSP, $463,378}, by Touch Gold), backed all the way down to even-money for this first go, emerged from the early scramble to post splits of :22.83 and :46.19. She threatened to run away from them at the top of the lane, but switched back to her wrong lead in midstretch, and found the line about a half-length to the good of the bearing-down Starlight Mission (Mission Impazible). The winner's dam, a $480,000 KEESEP yearling, was a three-times stakes winner for Todd Pletcher and the late Ned Evans. She was acquired by the Bromans in foal to Bernardini out of the blockbuster dispersal of Evans's bloodstock holdings at the 2011 Keeneland November sale. A daughter of stakes winner Wood Sprite (Woodman), Spritely is a half to MGSW Ailalea (Pulpit). She has a yearling filly by Pioneerof the Nile and a weanling colt by Super Saver.
