MEANING (f, 2, Gun Runner–Figure of Speech {GISP}, by Into Mischief) worked a sharp half-mile out of the gate in :47 1/5 (2/60) at Santa Anita Sept. 13 and was hammered into 1-5 favoritism for this debut run. Fourth in the very early stages, she rushed up to grab the lead following an opening quarter in :22.34. She was put to the test by GIII Sorrento S. third-place finisher Thank You India (Practical Joke) on the far turn, but had plenty left for the stretch, drawing free to score by 3 1/2 lengths. Figure of Speech had a filly by Curlin in 2024 and a colt by Flightline this year. She was bred back to Nyquist. Sales history: $440,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $27,000.
