RISKY MANDATE (f, 3, Strong Mandate–Paying Off {SW, $192,380}, by Malibu Moon) was a stylish first-time out winner June 22 at Churchill, handily defeating her foes by 6 1/4 lengths and earning an 80 Beyer Speed Figure. Tackling a good-looking group here, the 2-1 favorite broke a step slowly before quickly grabbing a stalking position on the inside directly behind the pacesetting Fair Regis (Bustin Stones). The leader rolled through a :22.63 opening quarter and jockey Jose Ortiz pulled the trigger on Risky Mandate after a half-mile in :45.22. She drew alongside Fair Regis, dueling with that rival down the lane and kicking clear in the final sixteenth for a 3 1/2-length tally. Fair Regis held on for second over Proximity Bias (Flatter). Risky Mandate is a half-sister to Joint Custody (Outflanker), MSW, $274,530, the unraced juvenile Carpe Victoiram (Carpe Diem) and a yearling colt by Hard Spun. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0, $105,448.
