VERITAS (c, 2, Goldencents–Tiz the Mambo, by Tiznow) made light work of five overmatched rivals to easily become the sixth individual first-crop winner for his sire (by Into Mischief). The last to load, Veritas was away in good order and led after the opening half-furlong, covering the opening quarter in :22.90. Given a bit of a breather on the turn, the April foal was kicked further in front off the home corner and was pushed out mostly hands and heels by Marcelino Pedroza to score by 4 1/4 lengths. A $15,000 Keeneland November weanling, Veritas was hammered down to Mattress Mac for $40,000 at this year's OBS March Sale. The winner, produced by an unraced half-sister to Italian Group 3 winner Manbala (Fr) (Linamix {Fr}) has a weanling half-brother by Daaher.. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $18,600.
