BRIDLE A BUTTERFLY (g, 2, Country House–Sly Storm {MSW, $235,922}, by Storm Cat), the longest shot on the board at 21-1, became the first winner for his freshman sire (by Lookin At Lucky) Sunday at Gulfstream. After briefly delaying the start at the gate, he took back to mid pack in fourth up the backstretch before making a top-of-the-stretch charge to hit the front and pull clear to the 3 1/2-length win over Itza Boss (Valiant Minister). Sly Storm, herself a $500,000 KEESEP yearling buy for Glen Hill Farm, has a yearling colt by Oscar Performance named Blind Man's Bluff and was bred to Army Mule for this year.
