Midnight Lute | Hill 'n' Dale

7th-SA, $53,380, Msw, 10-29, 2yo, 1 1/16m, 1:45.32, ft.
+SHOW ME DA LUTE (c, 2, Midnight Lute–Tough Tiz's Sis, by Tiznow), whose dam finished her career for these connections with a 12 1/4-length romp in the 2008 GI Ruffian H. at Belmont, was let go at 6-1 off a :35 flat bullet blowout here Oct. 26. Scrubbed on seemingly from the jump, the bay made the lead and posted splits of :23.71 and :48.50. Met with a host of pursuers turning for home, the leggy bay seemed to be in deep water, but he leveled off nicely in the lane to open up and again en route to a two-length success in 1:45.32. Troublewithatee (Into Mischief) and Sonneteer (Midnight Lute) checked in second and third, respectively. The winner is a full-brother to Tiz Midnight, GSW & GISP, $339,800; and half to a Misremembered yearling colt and weanling filly by Ghostzapper. Tough Tiz's Sis was bred back to Secret Circle this past breeding season. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $31,200. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
