TAKE ME WITH YOU (f, 2, Scat Daddy–Me and Miss Jones, by Smarty Jones) ran third in her June 10 Newmarket debut and again when behind Different League (Fr) (Dabirsim {Fr}) and Alpha Centauri (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) in Royal Ascot's June 23 G3 Albany S., and showed early dash to lead from flagfall in this easier spot. In command until nudged along at the two pole, the 4-11 lock was comfortably clear entering the final eighth and coasted home in hand, stopping the clock nine lengths in advance of Sergio Leone (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}). The bay is the second scorer and leading performer produced by an unraced daughter of dual Grade III winner Forest Heiress (Forest Wildcat), herself a full-sister to GISW sire Wildcat Heir, from a family which features GI Preakness S.-winning sire Louis Quatorze (Sovereign Dancer). She is kin to a yearling filly by Yes It's True and a colt foal by Wicked Strong, and her dam Me and Miss Jones (Smarty Jones) was bred to Wicked Strong again this year.
