Prospect Watch: Flightline’s brother makes 2nd start
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.
Fifty-one runners who meet these criteria were entered in races Sunday through Saturday. Among the highlights:
Sunday, Oaklawn Park race 8 - full brother to Flightline
On Sunday, Flightline's full brother Olivier, a 4-year-old colt trained by Rodolphe Brisset, is scheduled to make his second start in Oaklawn Park's eighth race. He is listed at 5-1 on the morning line in the one-mile, maiden special weight contest. The Tapit colt ran sixth in his debut on Jan. 28.
Sunday, Gulfstream Park race 1 - sibling to Bucchero
Somewhere in Time, a 3-year-old half-brother to Grade 2 winner Bucchero, is set to debut for trainer Joe Orseno in a maiden claimer sprinting over the Tapeta surface.
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.
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.
