+SKY GESTURE (f, 2, Tiznow–Overandabeauty {MSP, $159,472}, by Grand Slam) shook off early pace pressure and rolled home to a convincing win in her debut at Saratoga for the sharp first-out Rick Violette barn. Given a 57-10 chance, the gray filly was away well and became the inside marker of a three-way pace scrum through a quarter in :22.31. Beginning to edge away from her pursuers on the turn, Sky Gesture bounded clear in the stretch, opening up by five lengths past the eighth pole, before holding sway to score by 1 3/4 lengths over late-closing Cursor (Quality Road). The winner is a half to Noble and a Beauty, SW, $183,500. Her multiple stakes-placed dam is a half to the almighty Tapit (Pulpit), as well as Home From Oz (Pulpit), the dam of MGSW Madefromlucky (Lookin At Lucky). Second dam Tap Your Heels (Unbridled) is a half to Champion sprinter and MGISW Rubiano (Fappiano). Overandabeauty is responsible for a yearling colt by Malibu Moon and foaled a Congrats filly this term before being bred back to Giant's Casueway. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $49,800.
