1st-BEL, $64K, Msw, 2yo, f, 6fT, 1:15 p.m.
Gary Barber's Frankel At Ascot (Fr) (Frankel%20(GB)&log=#tot">Frankel {GB}) is one of several well-bred juveniles set to square off in this turf dash. The Mark Casse pupil was a €535,000 Arqana August yearling purchase by Justin Casse. She is out of stakes-winning juvenile Ascot Family (Ire), making her a half to precocious MGSW and GISP Family One (Fr) (Dubai Destination). The bay has fired a couple of bullets over the local dirt in preparation for this first go. Steal My Sunshine (Distorted Humor) is Wesley Ward owned, trained and bred. She's a half to GSW turf sprinter/miler Conquest Panthera (Kitten's Joy) and a full to MGSW Happy Like a Fool, who sold for $1.85 million in the 2018 Fasig-Tipton November sale. Contained (Flintshire {GB}), from her sire's first crop, is out of a half-sister to GISW In Lingerie (Empire Maker). Her third dam is champion 2-year-old filly Phone Chatter (Phone Trick). Wertheimer et Frere homebred Alda (Munnings&log=#tot">Munnings) ran on well to finish a close third–beaten a nose for second–going a furlong shorter than this against males June 12. She's a half to French Group 2 winner Alignement (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) out of a half to MGSW Exhi (Maria's Mon). TJCIS PPs
