AMERICAN PASTIME (c, 3, Tapizar–Ryan's Inheritance, by Valid Expectations), tabbed a 'TDN Rising Star' on the back of a 4 1/2-length romp locally when unveiled Mar. 11, reported home second by a half-length with significant traffic trouble in an optional claimer here May 13. Looking to redeem himself Sunday, the 6-5 favorite was in a three-way battle for command as soon as the gates sprung, with Sutton Impact (Tizway) briefly taking the lead through an opening quarter in :21.85. Leading Score (Midnight Lute) threw in the towel entering the far turn and it was all American Pastime through a half-mile in :44.31. GIII Lazaro Barrera S. runner-up Kimbear (Temple City) tried to make a race of it in the stretch, but American Pastime crossed the wire 1 1/2 lengths to the good. The winner's dam is responsible for a juvenile filly by Paynter and a yearling Awesome Again filly. Sales History: $135,000 Ylg '15 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 3-2-1-0, $77,200.
