Fight On did just that through the stretch of the Spendthrift Juvenile S. at Churchill, holding off a slew of challengers to prevail late in the colors of the race's namesake. Fourth on debut July 15 at Ellis, the $340,000 Keeneland September buy was runner-up there Aug. 19 and over this track Sept. 29. Let go at 5-1 in this spot restricted to progeny of Spendthrift stallions, the dark bay stalked the pace of odds-on Ezmosh (Tizway) through a :23.12 quarter. Taking over in tandem with a longshot as the chalk dropped away turning for home, Fight On dug in to turn back several bids in a wild stretch run, scoring by a head in a blanket finish over Captivating Moon. The victor's unraced dam, a half-sister to MGSW Royal Haven (Hail Emperor) and GSW/GISP Belterra (Unbridled)–the second dam of GI Kentucky Oaks heroine Cathryn Sophia (Street Boss)–has a yearling filly by Tiznow and a weanling colt by Malibu Moon.
