+GOOD SAMARITAN (c, 2, Harlan's Holiday–Pull Dancer {MSP, $152,937}, by Pulpit) sent off at 9-1 in this career unveiling, was caught four deep into the first turn. He eventually settled in a tracking seventh behind splits of :24.80 and :48.93. Called on for his run as noses pointed towards home, the bay edged closer to the front and was shifted out for the drive in upper stretch. He mirrored the move of 9-5 crowd's pick Ticonderoga (Tapit) to his inside and was going best of all late, to win by a head over that rival, an $850,000 KEESEP purchase. Formula One (Smart Strike), a $1.7-million OBSMAR acquisition, ran sixth. The winner's dam is from the same family as MGSW Wiseman's Ferry (Hennessy), sire of dual Horse of the Year Wise Dan, as well as GSWs Della Francesca (Danzig), Caress (Storm Cat), Country Cat (Storm Cat) and Bernstein (Storm Cat). She has a yearling colt by Pioneerof the Nile, a weaning filly by Tiznow and she was bred back to Bodemeister. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $49,800.
