BLOWOUT (GB) (f, 3, Dansili {GB}–Beauty Parlour {GB} {G1SW-Fr, $713,308}, by Deep Impact {Jpn}), a €450,000 purchase as a foal out of the Wildenstein Dispersal at the 2016 Goffs November Sale, became the latest first-time starter winner for Chad Brown with a battling victory Wednesday at Tampa Bay Downs. Favored at 19-10, the second foal out of the 2012 G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches (French 1000 Guineas) victress settled a path or two off the fence from midfield and with some cover behind a moderate tempo. Advancing into fifth for the run into the second turn, Blowout was pulled out into about the six path at the entry to the stretch, hooked up with her chief market rival Chancetheracer (Quality Road) at the furlong grounds and narrowly outfinished that foe to graduate by a head. Tiple (Ire) (Requinto {Ire}) was third. Blowout was bred by the Wildenstein Family's Dayton Investements and is out of a full-sister to Barocci (Jpn), a stakes winner in France and multiple graded placed in this country. Blowout's third dam was broodmare of the year Benediction (Ire) (Day Is Done {Ire}), the dam of 1999 Australian Horse of the Year and seven-time Group 1 winner Might and Power (NZ) (Zabeel {NZ}). The third dam also includes Hong Kong champion miler Lucky Owners (NZ) (Danehill). Brant is also the owner of Beauty Parlour, having paid €1.4 million for the mare in foal to Kingman (GB) out of the dispersal. Sales history: €450,000 Wlg '16 GOFNOV. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $11,600. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
