Away from the gates in good order, Extreme Choice settled fourth, about three paths off the rail and two lengths off the lead, as Highland Beat (Aus) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) streaked to the front to set the pace from Areti (Aus) (Street Sense) and Flying Artie sat slightly worse than midpack in the middle of the track. In the clear coming off the turn while Flying Artie was compromised and hung nearly 10-wide, Extreme Choice inhaled the frontrunners while still under a handride at the 300-metre mark. Flying Artie gobbled up ground with every stride as Extreme Choice drew clear of the rest largely under hand urging, but the runner-up ran out of time at the line.

But the $30,000 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Yearling acquisition continued to treat her opposition with utter disdain, streaking home to record a daylight success to remain unbeaten and untested to date. “Today, I think was probably, to me, her most impressive race.

I’ve had some nice fillies over time, but to have a horse like Smarty Jones and to have a filly like this, it doesn’t happen, not for a guy from Parx. It’s very exciting.

FEATURE PRESENTATION • GII FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH S. Favored to take the next step in Aqueduct’s GII Nashua S., Mohaymen overcame a three-wide run on the turn to defeat future GSW Flexibility (Bluegrass Cat) by 1 3/4 lengths and handled that rival again in the GII Remsen S. 24 days later, his first start with Lasix. Fountain of Youth S. cont. p4

He’s Just ‘Mo’ Better Than Them... The second foal from the very talented Justwhistledixie (Dixie Union)--the first was GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile hero New Year’s Day (Street Cry {Ire})--Mohaymen first made headlines at the 2014 Keeneland September sale when Shadwell’s Rick Nichols signed the winning ticket on the colt who would become Mohaymen from the consignment of Clearsky Farm. Brought along slowly by Kiaran McLaughlin, Mohaymen debuted the third Saturday of September and with the best of the New York jockeys in the Keystone State for the GII Pennsylvania Derby, won by stablemate Frosted (Tapit), Junior Alvarado was tabbed and the results were spectacular, as Mohaymen showed good speed and turned back a bid from the well-meant Seymourdini (Bernardini) to score by a half-length, Shadwell’s Rick Nichols and jockey Junior Alvarado admire with a well-bet and future SW King Kranz (Munnings) third. Mohaymen following Saturday’s Fountain of Youth | Leslie Martin HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 13 • THETDN.COM SUNDAY • FEB. 28, 2016

Xpressbet.com Fountain of Youth S. cont. Sent off the 3-10 favorite against GISW Greenpointcrusader (Bernardini) in the GII Holy Bull S. Jan. 30, the colt was given a perfect ride by Alvarado to take the race by the throat at midway and finished generously to score by 3 1/2 lengths. On the board at 1-9 for a good deal of the wagering, he invariably drifted as Zulu took some support and was off at 2-5. Ideally drawn outside in the field of six, Mohaymen broke slightly out, but there was plenty of activity just ahead of him in the opening exchanges, as Awesome Banner drifted in, causing Awesome Speed to take a bump from his outside and causing the Colts Neck runner to bump soundly with 131-1 outsider Golden Ray (American Lion). The latter brushed again with Awesome Mohaymen collars Zulu turning for home Speed entering the Arianna Spadoni first turn, causing Mohaymen to take an awkward stride and consign him to a five-deep run heading towards the backstretch. Awesome Banner, experimenting with two turns here off wins in the GIII Hutcheson S. and GIII Swale S. set the pace from the inside with Zulu forced to do the chasing from second. Awesome Speed settled deepest, and this allowed Alvarado to save some ground from about the four path. Sensing Mohaymen breathing down his neck, John Velazquez was forced to go for Zulu with better than three furlongs to race and the previously undefeated colt responded gamely and held a slim lead as they neared the short run in. Zulu came under a left-handed stick with Mohaymen still traveling comfortably to his outside and the gray colt called on his talent and experience to win cozily in the end. "He's a special colt. Very smart,” said McLaughlin. “You can see he's not even blowing when he's coming back. He just does things different. He's a special colt. He continued, “I was a little worried about the one with the scooped blinker that was getting out a little bit into the first turn [Golden Ray], but it worked out great. Junior said he asked him a little bit earlier today to engage [Zulu] and he did. He thought he had him all the way. He did ask him a little bit earlier, and he said if he waited he might have kicked on stronger late, but he did it the right way.” Nichols indicated he would consult with Sheikh Hamdan, but that a confrontation with champion Nyquist (Uncle Mo) in the GI Florida Derby Apr. 2 is the most likely outcome.

Davona Dale S. cont.

With Javier Castellano taking over at the controls from the sidelined Joel Rosario, Cathryn Sophia was not asked for much speed away from the gates and took up a stalking position three wide as Dearest pushed through at the inside to alternate up front with impressive Gasparilla S. winner R Girls a Charmer (In Summation). Bagema (Notional) briefly made it a line of three entering the turn, but her day was over soon after as Cathryn Sophia ambled up with a three- wide bid to arrive at the top of the stretch on even terms, still hard- Cathryn Sophia | Adam Coglianese held by Castellano. While the odds-on favorite had shown a propensity for racing on her incorrect lead in the stretch of her races, she switched over on cue once straightened for home and it was all academic from there. Lewis Bay, last year’s GII Demoiselle S. heroine, traveled strongly behind the top three turning for home, but could not match strides late and just managed to hold second.

She isn’t Tepin (Bernstein)--not just yet in any event--but Catch a Glimpse sat a trip and turned in a performance in Saturday’s GIII Herecomesthebride S. reminiscent of her champion stablemate’s in the GIII Endeavour S. two weeks back to get her sophomore season off on a high note. The chestnut was entered for a 5 1/2-furlong turf maiden at Saratoga July 30 and was allowed to take her spot in that field even though the race was washed onto a sloppy main track and showed a bit of early pace before tailing off to finish a midpack fifth.

Forced to deal with a Keeneland turf course that had plenty of juice in it from early-week rains, Catch a Glimpse sat a stalking trip, was roused to the front outside the furlong marker and held off the European-trained duo of Alice Springs (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Nemoralia (More Than Ready) to win the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf by three-parts of a length. Drawn widest in this field of eight, Catch a Glimpse was alertly out of the stalls, but the previously undefeated Lira got the first call and Vieja Luna (Street Hero) showed the most initiative and led under the line for the first time. Florent Geroux would not let that one get too far away and the duo pulled a handful of lengths clear of Lira. Positions remained unchanged through the middle furlongs, but Geroux allowed Catch a Glimpse to put her head in front at the third corner, then asked for a bit more run when Lira came after her in earnest midway on the turn. The odds-on chalk drifted a bit wide into the stretch as Lira tried to make a race of it, but Catch a Glimpse sprinted her final five- sixteenths of a mile in a wicked :28.76 to put the race well and truly out of reach.

“I think she was going so fast around the turn she kind of bore out a little,” assistant trainer Norman Casse reasoned about the filly’s actions at the head of the stretch. “She’s still learning and not 100% professional. But she’s obviously very talented and she’ll get even better as she goes on. It was a good [return] and we’re excited to have her back, and we look to moving forward from here.” A finalist for the U.S. Eclipse Awards in 2015, Catch a Glimpse will be strongly favored to take home a Sovereign Award when those honors are given out over the coming weeks.
