CHASTISE (f, 2, Blame">Blame–Rapid Racer {SW}, by Forest Wildcat) closed well to be third on debut going 1 1/16 miles at Saratoga Aug. 28 and was hammered down to 7-5 favoritism to go one better here. Tracking from sixth in the two-path, the bay kept tabs on the leaders through early fractions of :23.71 and :49.39. Swung out three wide at the top of the stretch, the homebred cruised clear under Hall of Famer John Velazquez to win by 2 3/4 lengths over Gentle Kitten (Kitten's Joy) in 1:39.93. The winner hails from the family of MGSW & GISP Runaway Model (Petionville). Claiborne purchased her dam Rapid Racer at the 2012 Keeneland November sale for $235,000 carrying her first foal, the now 3-year-old filly Moulton (Arch), a $50,000 OBSAPR buy who captured her debut at Monmouth Park last time Sept. 5 for winning trainer Todd Pletcher and owners Robert and Lawana Low. Rapid Racer is responsible for the yearling filly Bartoletta (Arch) and a weanling filly by Candy Ride (Arg). She was bred back to Lemon Drop Kid. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-1, $44,300.
