U S DELTA FLAG (War Front&log=">War Front) gets his career underway for owner/breeder Joe Allen and trainer Shug McGaughey. A May 15 foal, the gray is a full-brother to War Dispatch, a Group 3 winner in France, third in the 2015 G1 Prix du Jockey Club and a recent winner at Happy Valley in Hong Kong; and to GSP runners George Patton and U S S Michigan. The colt's unraced dam Photograph (Unbridled's Song) is a half-sister to War Front's HK G1SW and G2 UAE Derby hero Lines of Battle (i.e. Helene Super Star); GI Flower Bowl S. winner War Flag (War Front); and French GSW Homebound (Dixie Union). Dynaformer appears under his third dam, as does Australian G1SW Homesman (War Front).
Tiesto (Tiznow), a half-brother to Grade I-winning sprinter Promises Fulfilled (Shackleford) and MSW/GSP Marquee Miss (Cowboy Cal), fetched $100K as a weanling at Fasig-Tipton November in 2017, but was a $285K buyback at Keeneland last September. He was hammered down to Solis/Litt for $600K at OBS April after breezing a quarter-mile in :21 2/5. TJCIS PPs
