QUIET STREET (f, 2, Street Boss–Serene, by Tapit) overcame a rough start to win the Wednesday nightcap for the Sovereignty connections. A sneaky-live 6-1 from an 8-1 morning line, the homebred was pinched back from between horses at the break and was forced to travel from the rear, but was allowed to settle and was not ridden off her feet by Junior Alvarado. Last, but under a hold on the turn, Quiet Street swung into action seven or eight wide in upper stretch and she quickly zeroed in on favored Delightful Darling (Flameaway) and Lit Ship (Midshipman), who were at each other into the final furlong. The latter drifted out as Delightful Darling began to fade, and Quiet Street closed stoutly to hold off a re-rally from Lit Ship by a neck.
The winner's dam, an $800,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase by Godolphin, is out of Fascinating (Smart Strike), twice Grade I-placed at two. Fascinating's GSW & GISP dam Untouched Talent (Storm Cat) produced nine winners, including GI Arkansas Derby hero and multiple Classic-placed Bodemeister (Empire Maker) and MGSW Under the Stars (Pioneeerof the Nile). The first foal from her dam, Quiet Street has a yearling half-brother by Uncle Mo and a foal half-brother by Midshipman. Serene is due to Street Sense for her 2026 foal. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $55,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
