+REDESDALE (c, 3, Speightstown–Harpia {GSW, $294,389}, by Danzig) breezed a best-of-21 half-mile in :47 flat at Keeneland in his last work May 19 and was bet down to half of his 8-1 morning-line for this debut. Away well, the bay chased the speedy Done Deal (Macho Uno) from second through a sharp opening quarter in :21.71 and drew even with that rival as they hit the half in :45.37. Dueling stride-for-stride with the pacesetter in the stretch, Redesdale edged clear late to win by a length over 8-5 favorite Faction Cat (Wildcat Heir). Done Deal stayed on for third. The winner is a half-brother to First Word (Chester House), SP, $281,665; and the unraced 2-year-old colt Conurbation (Candy Ride {Arg}). The sophomore's Grade III-winning dam Harpia (Danzig) is a full-sister to European Highweight and G1SW Danehill; and GSWs Eagle Eyed and Shibboleth. Sales history: $18,000 HRA '16 KEEJAN. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $30,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
