LESLIE=S LADY NAMED 2016 BREEN, MISS SKY WARRIOR RIDING HIGH INTO OAKS by Michael Adolphson BROODMARE OF THE YEAR A few moments with Kelly Breen and it is easy to sense the roots of his success. A proper balance of blunt, thoughtful and calculated in delivery, he speaks about his operation with honesty, consistency and an urgency for excellence. All of those attributes can also be applied to his current stable starlet, Arlene=s Sun Star Stable=s Miss Sky Warrior (First Samurai), one of the favorites for the GI Kentucky Oaks May 5. A swift, genuine filly who rides a five-race winning streak into the Oaks, she has proven herself to be a dominant force over the last six months and could give Breen his first Grade I victory since the 2011 GI Belmont S. with Ruler on Ice (Roman Ruler).

Abernant S. cont. Successful in a five-furlong handicap at this meeting last year, Brando also registered scores in the July 2 G3 Sandown Charge and the Sept. 17 Ayr Gold Cup H., and closed his latest campaign with a third to The Tin Man (GB) (Equiano {Fr}) in the Oct. 15 G1 British Champions Sprint at Ascot last time. The bay was all the rage for this seasonal return, going off at short odds, and duly obliged in stylish fashion. Restrained in fourth after a mainly level break, he eased into second approaching the final quarter mile and quickened smartly in the closing stages to inhale long- time leader Ornate for an ultimately comfortable second black- type score. AWe were a little concerned about the [good-to- firm] ground beforehand, but we had to find out if he handled it because he=s going to encounter the same conditions again at some stage this season,@ explained trainer Kevin Ryan.
