DUNBAR ROAD (f, 3, Quality Road–Gift List, by Bernardini) was backed down to 8-5 favoritism for the prominent connections of Saturday's GIII Honey Fox S. heroine Precieuse (Ire) (Tamayuz {GB}) and did not disappoint in her racetrack debut. Hard ridden for early position by Jose Ortiz, the $350,000 KEESEP yearling chased the pace in second through splits of :23.83 and :46.89. She found another gear heading for home, took over in upper stretch and poured it on from there to don cap and gown by an emphatic 8 3/4 lengths. Hightailing (Orb) rallied to complete the exacta for the second time in as many starts. The winner hails from the female family of Grade I winner Secret Status (A.P. Indy). She has a 2-year-old half-sister named On the Good List (Speightstown) who was a $175,000 Fasig-Tipton October yearling. Her dam died last year. Sales history: $350,000 Ylg '17 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $25,800. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
