blameBlameitonthelaw was a rock-solid 3-1 chance in this key-looking maiden and accelerated away from the well-meant Semper Fortis (Distorted Humor) to stamp himself one to keep a close eye on over the coming months. A $70,000 KEESEP graduate, the blazefaced bay displayed a very efficient way of going when clocking :10 flat ahead of this year's OBSMAR sale and was hammered down for $320,000.  Blameitonthelaw fired a couple of early July bullets at San Luis Rey Downs and capped his tab with a strong five-eighths gate work in 1:00 3/5 over this strip July 27. With the vanguard early, Blameitonthelaw came back nicely into the hands of Tyler Baze and the duo sat in third as Semper Fortis and favored Who's Out (Tale of Ekati) eyeballed each other through a lively opening quarter-mile in :21.91. The two pacesetters still raced heads apart as they neared the stretch, and it appeared that Baze could have steered to the outside of those foes to leave nothing to chance. Instead, he took a shot up the fence, squeezed neatly through inside of a game Semper Fortis and powered home to score by 4 1/4 lengths before galloping out with excellent energy. Semper Fortis in turn was 14 lengths clear of South Detroit (Wilburn) and Who's Out in fourth. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $42,000
