WONDER STONE (f, 2, Super Saver–Waving, by Street Cry {Ire}), the slightly longer price of a pair of Wesley Ward newcomers at 24-10 behind the drawing in Strike Play (Haynesfield), out-footed her male rivals early to take a clear advantage from the gate. Chased by a trio of foes including her stablemate past the quarter pole, she kept finding with the help of a few right handers to prevail by a decisive 3 1/4-length margin. Second timers Baytown Macca (Creative Cause) was second, while Strike Play settled for fourth after a wide journey. Bloodstock powerhouse Don Alberto Corp. paid $190,000 for dam Waving in foal to Harlan's Holiday at the 2013 Keeneland November sale. Out of French SW/GSP and local Grade III-placed Beyond the Waves (Ocean Crest), Waving is a half-sister to graded stakes-winning turfers Bricks and Mortar (Giant's Causeway) and Emeral Beech (Maria's Mon). This is also the female family of Grade I-winning sprinter Bordonaro. Wonder Stone, just a $9,000 KEESEP buyback last year, has a yearling half-sister by Distorted Humor. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $36,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
