6th-PRX, $36,000, (S), Msw, 5-23, 3yo/up, f/m, 7f, 1:25.41, ft.
+ANAIS (f, 4, Malibu Moon–Trail Magic, by Indian Charlie), a $610,000 Fasig-Tipton August yearling buy back in 2014, made her belated debut a winning one with a romping score against state-breds at Parx. Coming in off of a five-furlong gate breeze in 1:01 3/5 (3/7) on Saratoga's Oklahoma training track May 16, the bay was bet down to 11-10 favoritism and broke decently before tugging her way up to run a close second past a :22.99 quarter. Cruising to the lead on her own power passing a :46.75 half, the favorite was cut loose at the three-sixteenths pole and quickly widened away to hit the wire 11 1/4 lengths to the good of Aussie Mist (Cat Thief). The winner's dam, purchased for $160,000 out of last term's Keeneland November sale, is a half to GISW Sweet Talker (Stormin Fever) and MGSW Silver Medallion (Badge of Silver). She is responsible for a juvenile Speightstown filly named Magic Town, a yearling full-brother to the victress and foaled a colt by Speightstown Apr. 30. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $21,000.
