Disco Time | Coady Media

6th-Churchill Downs, $118,425, Msw, 11-1, 2yo, 7f, 1:23.88, ft, 3 3/4 lengths.
DISCO TIME (c, 2, Not This Time–Disco Chick {MSW & GSP, $735,250}, by Jump Start), who went favored at 2-1 in the final few clicks of the tote, sat a three-wide trip and came away in the final sixteenth of a mile to graduate at first asking Friday afternoon at Churchill Downs. Away alertly from an outside stall for Florent Geroux, the March-foaled dark bay settled just off the pace cut out by the once-raced Troubleshooting (Not This Time) and was content to sit in the breeze into the turn. Warming up to the task midway on the bend, he confronted the front-runner at the head of the lane, but Troubleshooting proved a stubborn rival down to the inside and the duo battled shoulder to shoulder into the final furlong. But Disco Time began to get the better of the tussle and edged away late to post a good-looking 3 3/4-length victory. White Whale (Hightail) was up for second ahead of Perfect Force (Gun Runner) in third. Juddmonte purchased the four-time stakes winner and graded-placed Disco Chick for $180,000 at Keeneland January in 2018 and her first two foals were by the late Arrogate. The mare, sold on for $35,000 at KEENOV in 2022, did not produce a foal the following two seasons and she was most recently bred to Yaupon. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $69,000.
