BIG SCOTT DADDY (c, 2, Scat Daddy–Last Song {GSW & GISP, $336,483}, by Unbridled's Song), a graduate of last year's Fasig-Tipton Turf Showcase but debuting here on the main track, took some early nibbles in the wagering before settling at 8-1. Away well from his wide draw, he was unable to ever really tuck in and was parked far out in the track behind splits of :21.65 and :45.23. The handsome bay picked off horses ominously heading for home, took over in upper stretch and held sway late by a half-length from now two-time runner-up Ka'nah (Gio Ponti). The winner RNA'd for $195,000 at OBS June after a :21 1/5 breeze. His dam, also responsible for Shut the Box (Hard Spun), MSP, $191,732, annexed the 2004 GII Bonnie Miss S. and was third in the GI Ashland S. She sold for $1.75 million at KEENOV '06 in foal to A.P. Indy, and brought $1 million in foal to Distorted Humor two years later at Fasig-Tipton November. She was most recently bought back for $775,000 at the 2010 Keeneland January sale in foal to Elusive Quality. Last Song produced a Maclean's Music filly in 2017 and a Laoban colt in 2018. She was bred back to the former. Big Scot Daddy's third dam is GISW Only Queens, who in turn produced MGISW Tactile. Sales history: $140,000 Ylg '17 FTKTUR; $195,000 RNA 2yo '18 OBSOPN. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $33,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
