Prospect Watch: 64 entries include Hansen sibling
Horse Racing Nation’s Prospect Watch scans all upcoming entries for starters early in their careers who sold for more than $500,000 at their most recent auction or whose dams or siblings are graded-stakes winners.
Sixty-four runners who meet these criteria were entered in races through Saturday. Among the highlights:
Thursday, Fair Grounds race 9 - sibling to Accelerate
Chasing Summer, a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Accelerate, is scheduled to make her second career start in race 9, a maiden special weight at 1 1/16 miles over the turf. The daughter of Uncle Mo is trained by Brad Cox.
Friday, Aqueduct race 3 - sibling to Mandaloun
Badge of War, a half brother to Mandaloun, already is in a maiden claimer in his third start, but given Mandaloun was just named the official winner of Kentucky Derby 2021, we thought it was worth a note. Now trained by David Jacobson, the son of War Front ran 10th and third in two maiden special weights on the Horseshoe Indianapolis turf course last summer for initial trainer Brad Cox.
Saturday, Gulfstream Park race 1 - sibling to Proud Spell
De La Cruz, a 3-year-old half-brother to 2008 Kentucky Oaks (G1) winner Proud Spell, is set to debut for trainer Christopher Clement in a maiden special weight at nine furlongs on the turf.
Wednesday, Fair Grounds race 8 - sibling to Hansen
Painted Sunday, an unraced 3-year-old half-brother to the fan favorite and 2011 Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1) winner Hansen, is entered as a main-track-only also-eligible for trainer Steve Asmussen in a maiden special weight turf sprint. Even if the colt doesn't get in the race Wednesday, it will be exciting to see him debut soon.
Wednesday, Gulfstream Park race 4 - sibling to Shared Belief
Back in the entries is unraced Ikran, a 4-year-old half-sister to Grade 1 winner Shared Belief. The daughter of Curlin was entered in a $53,000 maiden special dirt route at Tampa Bay Downs February 7, but was scratched and now ends up in the entries for March 6 at Gulfstream Park. The conditions of this upcoming race are similar, but it is a one-turn mile and the purse is $89,000.
Prospect Watch recent results include:
Saturday, Judge Miller, a 4-year-old full brother to four-time Grade 1 winner Clairiere by the Grade 1-winning dam Cavorting, won impressively in his third start, an allowance at Santa Anita for trainer Mark Glatt.
On Sunday, Flightline's full brother Olivier, a 4-year-old colt trained by Rodolphe Brisset, ran sixth in his second start in a maiden special weight at Oaklawn Park.
