Mob

Nearly (Not This Time), who could make the starting gate for the GIII Holy Bull Stakes at Gulfstream Park Jan. 31, was well-beaten on debut during the Belmont At The Big A meet Oct. 26. Shipping to South Florida to face state breds, the dark bay won by an eye-catching 9 1/4 lengths Nov. 22. Tabbed as the 6-5 second choice after the pre-race scratch of intended favorite Mob (Gun Runner), Nearly was bumped hard by Confessional (Essential Quality) at the break, which put him several lengths behind coming on...

   In this continuing series, TDN's Senior Racing Editor Steve Sherack catches up with the connections of promising maidens to keep on your radar. What an effort from Boss Dylan (c, 2, Liam's Map--Sweet, by Blame)! Those were the words of track announcer Travis Stone as Boss Dylan rallied from last to finish a fantastic second in the nightcap at Churchill Downs Sunday evening.

10th-Churchill Downs, $123,035, Msw, 11-23, 2yo, 6 1/2f, 1:17.34, ft, 1 1/2 lengths. MOB (c, 2, Gun Runner--Onslaught, by Street Sense), a $560,000 Keeneland September purchase for Flying Dutchmen last year, signaled his race readiness with 10 straight works since September at Churchill for trainer Brian Lynch. Facing a well-bred field which included a full-brother to MGISW Patch Adams (Into Mischief), Mob proved best on the day with a frontrunning score. Second choice at 5-1, the bay colt rushed to the front with Mumdoggie (Tiz the Law) glued to his...

5th-AQU, $85k, Msw, 2yo, 1m, 2:10p.m. ET After heavy winds cancelled the card he was originally going to debut on last week, OTTINHO (Quality Road) looks to make it second-try lucky for his unveiling here. Most notably out of Quiet Giant (Giant's Causeway), who is famous for her son, Hall of Famer Gun Runner (by Candy Ride {Arg}), the bay is a Three Chimneys homebred who goes postward for the barn of trainer Chad Brown. Drawn in the middle of the field, he enters this race with a healthy worktab...
