Discreet Cat | Darley

+COLORFUL CHARADES (f, 2, Discreet Cat–Laila's Punch {MSW, $144,120}, by Two Punch) was bet hard throughout for this debut and just held on to score at first asking. Breaking sharply at 3-2, the gray dueled with Beautiful Lady (Bellamy Road) through splits of :22.20 and :45.67 and gained some separation turning for home while drifting out a bit. Appearing clear past the sixteenth pole, Colorful Charades began to get leg-weary, but dug in to hold off Tequilita (Union Rags) by a half-length in 1:19.04. Colorful Charades sold for $130,000 at OBS April after breezing one furlong in :9 4/5. Her multiple stakes-winning dam produced a full-sister to the winner in 2015 before dying later that year. Sales History: $45,000 Ylg '15 KEESEP; $130,000 2yo '16 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $49,800. O-Michael J. Ryan; B-Stonehaven Steadings (KY); T-Rudy R.
