Looking to make it a perfect three for three in her young career and to become the first black-type winner for her freshman sire Tonalist (Tapit), Tonalist's Shape turned Saturday's one-mile Hut Hut S. into a one-horse affair, kicking home nicely to score by nine lengths. Stretching out to a route of ground for the first time, the chestnut showed good early speed to chase longshot Filly Jean King from second through an opening half-mile in :47.72. Cruising along well within the grasp of jockey Sammy Camacho on the turn, Tonalist's Shape rolled up to grab command at the quarter pole and left her rivals in the dust in the final furlong. Ceci Valentina gave futile chance to be second.
A debut winner from well off the pace over this surface Sept. 28, Tonalist's Shape made it two straight with a popular allowance score at Gulfstream West Oct. 20. The stakes-winning Hitechnoweenie, purchased by Sabana Farm for $75,000 at the 2015 Keeneland January sale, has a yearling filly by Outwork and a weanling colt by Connect. She was most recently covered by Tiznow. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
