BRILLANTE (FR) (f, 3, Persian King {Ire}–Baga {Fr}, by No Nay Never) made her American debut Friday after a pair of starts as a 2-year-old in her native France. Privately purchased and imported to the Chad Brown barn late last year, the 7-5 favorite spotted the field a step at the break and raced near the back of the field behind Mona L (Caravaggio) who set an opening half tempo of :48.33. Staying wide throughout, Brillante put in a bid around the far turn, picked up steady position into the lane and surged to the front at the eighth pole to graduate nicely by 4 1/4 lengths ahead of Mona L. From Persian King's first crop, Brillante is her dam's youngest reported offspring. Sales History: €30,000 Ylg '23 ARAV2. Lifetime Record: 3-1-1-0, $23,539.
