IRON ORCHARD (f, 2, Authentic–Onebrethatatime {MSP, $133,283}, by Brethren) went off heavily favored at 3-5 facing auction-restricted maidens as a New York-bred. As advertised right from the break, she was quickly solo on the lead through the opening strides and dealt only with minor pressure up the backstretch from second-time starter Winrooski (Win Win Win). Shrugging that rival off as the half went in :46.37, Iron Orchard came home on cruise control under a motionless Joel Rosario to win by 5 1/2 lengths over an overmatched group. Birch Run (Practical Joke), also making her second start, checked in second. A $500,000 OBS April grad just three months ago for Bill Childs and Mark Stanton, Iron Orchard is the last foal out of MSP Onebrethatatime, the half-sister to the dam of GISW Exaulted (Twirling Candy).
