SF Racing, Starlight Racing, Madaket Stables and Fred Hertrich III's BEACON HILL (Blame&log=#tot">Blame) debuts for trainer Rodolphe Brisset. The dark bay, who realized a $500,000 final bid at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Yearling sale, was the highest priced yearling out of 27 sold by his sire in 2018. Dam My Mammy, already responsible for the colt's full stakes-winning sibling Sweet Victory and stakes-placed Ferdinanda (Giant's Causeway), is a half-sister to Grade I-winner Bandini (Fusaichi Pegasus) and Group 3 scorer Discourse (Street Cry {Ire}). The 15-year-old mare is a granddaughter of the D. Wayne Lukas-trained Grade I winner Hail Atlantis (Seattle Slew). TJCIS PPs
