A $500,000 buy during Keeneland September, PIASTRI (Not This Time) gets behind the wheel for L & N Racing and Robert Zoellner. The Steve Asmussen trainee is out of SP Boule (Exchange Rate), who herself was purchased for $160,000 by Rhianon Farms at the 2020 Keeneland November Sale while in-foal with current 4-year-old filly Thorny (Violence). Boule is a half-sister to GSW Tide of the Sea (English Channel) and her own grand dam is MGISW Tates Creek (Rahy), who is responsible for Australian multiple group stakes winner Spirit Ridge (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}).
Also set for his unveiling is Godolphin homebred Gloves Off (Nyquist). The colt's unraced dam is out of GI Breeders' Cup Distaff heroine Round Pond (Awesome Again) and her half-siblings include MSW Long River (A.P. Indy), SW Lake Lucerne (Dubawi {Ire}), GISW Highland Falls (Curlin) and the dam of GISW Speaker's Corner (Street Sense). Gloves Off is trained by Eoin Harty.
Finally, Fulleffort (Liam's Map) is a $425,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Select Yearling Sale grad who is owned by St. Elias and Starlight. The Brad Cox trainee's dam, MSW Callmethesqueeze (Awesome Again), claims GI Alabama Stakes victress Power Squeeze (Union Rags) and SW Call On Mischief (Into Mischief). TJCIS PPS
