POSTER (c, 2, Munnings–Pin Up, by Tapit), a 5-1 first-time starter for Godolphin, broke with speed from the rail but had company right away from Xavi (Great Notion) to his outside. Pressed through fractions of :22.81 and :47.12, he put that rival away off the turn and stayed away from a closing Turnbuckle (Global Campaign) despite ducking out a bit close to home to win by 1 3/4 lengths. Pin Up, who sold for $130,000 at KEEJAN this year, is a half to MGISW and champion 3-year-old Bernardini (A.P. Indy) and to the dam of MGISW Love and Pride (A.P. Indy). The winner has a Nyquist half-brother born this year with his dam due back to Maclean's Music. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $41,895. Click for the Equibase.com chart.
