6th-Keeneland, $110,000, Msw, 4-17, 3yo, f, 7f, 1:28.04, ft, 6 lengths.
CLICQUOT (f, 3, Quality Road–Royal Obsession {GSP, $140,857}, by Tapit) ran a distant sixth in her first start at Gulfstream Park Mar. 1. Shipping to Keeneland from Brendan Walsh's Palm Meadows base, the filly put in a pair of solid drills locally before serving as the 7-5 choice here. The 3-year-old was in the mix early and vied for the lead up the backstretch alongside Mazayaat (Bernardini), who incidently finished as the runner-up in their debut race in Hallandale. In control at the quarter pole, Clicquot began to run up the score down the lane and she got her picture taken by six lengths over her opponent. The winner is her dam's last registered foal of record, but she was entered in Elite Power's book for this spring. Royal Obsession was a $1.8-million buy for Don Alberto at the 2017 Keeneland November Sale. Sales History: $375,000 RNA Ylg '23 FTSAUG. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $66,393.
