BIG HANDSOME (c, 3, Street Boss–Moojha, by Forest Wildcat) broke through an emphatic four-length winner when switching to Gulfstream grass Mar. 17, and continued to demonstrate his affinity for that surface with a resounding romp Sunday at Belmont. Right to the front, the $250,000 Fasig-Tipton October acquisition doled out splits of :21.78 and :45.08 under a tight hold and scampered away from his rivals in the lane to run up the score to 4 1/2 lengths on the wire. Have Another (Stay Thirsty) completed the exacta in his first turf try, while stakes winner and 'TDN Rising Star' Undulated (Curlin) ran on for third in his first start since a third-place finish behind GI Kentucky Derby contender and fellow Rising Star Irish War Cry (Curlin) in Laurel's Marylander S. on the main track New Year's Eve. Second by a neck to Friday's local optional claiming winner Tale of Silence (Tale of the Cat) first up on muddy local dirt Sept. 24, Big Handsome settled for third behind a dominant performance from subsequently GSP Rising Star Takaful (Bernardini) a month later. He was fourth behind GIII Gotham S. runner-up and GII Wood Memorial S. third Cloud Computing (Maclean's Music) on the Big A inner before shipping down to Florida to get grass. Moojha is responsible for a yearling filly by Hard Spun. Lifetime Record: 5-2-1-1, $102,300. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
