HOLLYWOOD GIRL (f, 3, Giant's Causeway-Hollywood Story {MGISW, $1,171,105}, by Wild Rush), let go at 15-1 for a patient barn but in spite of her $875,000 price tag as a Keeneland September yearling, saved ground and kicked home late to don cap and gown at first asking. Unhurried but traveling well off of hot early splits, the dark bay scraped paint in the back half of a strung-out field and found a clear path as she picked off rivals heading for home. Game when splitting foes in upper stretch to find clear sailing, she kicked on nicely from there to best Miss Bigly (Gemologist) by a length. The winner is a half to Miss Hollywood (Malibu Moon), SW, $151,430; Hoorayforhollywood (Storm Cat), MSP, $212,819; and Hollywood Star (Malibu Moon), MGSP, $173,380. Sales History: $875,000 ylg '17 KEESEP. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
