MAGNIFY (c, 3, Justify–Stellar Wind {Ch. 3-year-old Filly, MGISW, $2,903,200}, by Curlin) was never a factor in his May debut at Santa Anita but came back with an improved effort off a break to be second at Del Mar Aug. 22. Now in his third try over the distance and off another brief layoff, the 5-2 third choice flashed early speed to duel for the lead up the backstretch with Harry Houdini (Good Magic). The pair went head to head past the half in :45.44 before Magnify began to pull away, opening up while put to a drive into the final furlong to come home an easy six-length winner. Stellar Wind, who certainly needs no introduction, sold to Coolmore's M.V. Magnier for a sales-topping $6,000,000 at KEENOV in 2017. Of three to race, Magnify is her first winner. She has a 2-year-old Into Mischief filly who is unplaced in one start, a yearling Into Mischief colt and produced a Gun Runner filly this year. She went back to Gun Runner for 2025.
