LEADER'S LEGACY (c, 3, War Front">War Front–Bauble Queen {GSW-US, $221,257}, by Arch), a debut sixth behind the TDN Rising Star performance of Best of Days (GB) (Azamour {Ire}) going a shade over seven panels at Sandown last time July 20, stalked the pace in fourth from the outset of this sophomore return. Hurried along approaching the three-eighths marker, the 11-8 chalk swooped for control with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining and was pushed clear in the latter stages to score by four lengths from Romanor (GB) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}). The $900,000 KEESEP yearling is the first foal and winner produced by GII Robert J Frankel S. victress Bauble Queen (Arch), and he is a full-brother to the 2-year-old colt Blitzkrieg, and half to a colt foal by Malibu Moon. Bauble Queen, herself a half-sister to the stakes-winning Leamington (Pleasant Tap), is out of a winning daughter of GI Apple Blossom H. and GI Milady H. heroine By Land By Sea (Sauce Boat), and is from a family which includes GI Haskell Invitational third Like a Hero (Pleasant Colony) and MGSW G1 Prix du Jockey Club runner-up Lord Flasheart (Blush Rambler). Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $4,984. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
