Candy Ride's Money Game Passes Two-Turn Test In Hot Springs

9th-Oaklawn, $110,000, Msw, 3-28, 3yo/up, 1 1/16m, 1:44.75, gd, 1 length.
MONEY GAME (c, 3, Candy Ride {Arg}–Miss Bling Bling, by Tapit) debuted with Lasix as a 7-1 shot here. The homebred was in no hurry out of the blocks and he trailed the field heading into the first turn. With a half-mile clocked at :47.03, the colt began to engage and he started a sweeping attack run around the the far turn. The chestnut's power was evident as he collared fellow firster and Triple Crown nominated Super Cruise (Uncle Mo). Seeminginly in control down the lane, the 3-year-old fought off a rally from his rival to seal the deal by a length. Out of Canadian champion 3-year-old filly Milwaukee Appeal (Milwaukee Brew), the winner's dam is a full-sister to MGSW Actress, who herself is responsible for GII Lukas Classic Stakes hero & the Dubai bound Hit Show (Candy Ride {Arg}). Miss Bling Bling produced a current 2-year-old filly by Quality Road and she foaled another Candy Ride (Arg)–this one a filly–last year. She was entered in Maximum Security's book for this term. Money Game's second dam is Canadian champion 3-year-old filly Milwaukee Appeal (Milwaukee Brew). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $66,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
