+INSTANT REFLEX (f, 3, Quality Road&log=">Quality Road–Without Delay, by Seeking the Gold) survived a pace duel and kicked away strongly in the lane to graduate at first asking sprinting over the Del Mar turf. Showing consistent speed in her workouts, capped off by a five-furlong move in 1:00 3/5 (13/30) Aug. 23 on the local main, the $150,000 KEESEP buy was well-backed to 3-1 off of a 6-1 morning line quote and broke sharply to lead early. Not as cleanly away, Kentan Road (Into Mischief) rushed up on the inside to challenge and the pair were inseparable through a :22.24 quarter. Instant Reflex started to do the better work outside the eighth pole and shot away from her pursuer to score impressively by 5 1/4 lengths under minimal urging. The victress has a juvenile half-brother by Lonhro (Aus) named Starship Ulysses and her dam was bred to Pioneerof the Nile this spring. Sales History: $175,000 Ylg '15 KEEJAN.
