NAVISTAR (c, 2, Union Rags&log=">Union Rags–Delightfully So, by Indian Charlie)
was purchased for $90,000 at last year's Keeneland September sale before selling for $900,000 at this year's OBS March sale. He was last seen finishing second behind 'TDN Rising Star' Mask (Tapit) at Belmont Park Oct. 20. The 2-5 favorite got bumped at the break, but quickly recovered to sit a stalking trip second through an opening quarter in :24.08. He took control inside on the far turn before feeling the presence of Master Manipulator (Tale of the Cat) to his outside. Navistar put away that challenge at the eighth pole before having to deal with a late-running He Takes Charge (Tapit) in deep stretch, but battled on for the 1 1/2-length graduation. He Takes Charge held second while Master Manipulatory faded to fourth. This is the first foal out of Delightfully So, who's a half to Delightful Mary (Limehouse), Ch. 2yo filly-Can & GSW, $588,055; and Delightful Kiss (Kissin Kris), MGSW, $1,096,263. She also has a yearling filly by Constitution and was bred to Liam's Map this year. Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, $40,200. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
