+AQUAMARINE (c, 3, Gemologist–April True, by Yes It's True) showed a strong worktab for this debut, completing preparations with a half-mile in the local slop in :48 4/5 (1/3) Jan. 9. Bet to second favoritism at 8-5, the $240,000 OBS August buy came away well to track favored Aristocratic (Malibu Moon) from second through a :21.55 quarter. Under a busy ride on the turn, Aquamarine appeared rebuffed in early stretch, but stayed on resolutely and surged to the front at the sixteenth marker to graduate going away by 1 3/4 lengths. The chalk narrowly held second over late-running Momma's Baby Boy (Giant Oak). The winner has a yearling half-brother by Scat Daddy and his dam was bred to Carpe Diem last term. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $32,400. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
