Authentic Filly Kicks Off Long On the Grass

6th-SAR, $100k, 2yo, f, 1 1/16mT, post time: 4:03 p.m. ET
Klaravich Stable paid $410,000 at last year's Keeneland September Sale for COMPETITIVE MARKET, whose pedigree reads all dirt, being a daughter of Horse of the Year and GI Breeders' Cup Classic winner Authentic out of Cajun Delta Dawn (Kantharos), who took two-thirds of the Florida Stallion Stakes in 2016 and was runner-up in that year's GIII Delta Downs Princess Stakes. The main-track form runs through the entire family, as Cajun Delta Dawn is a half-sister to SW Mom'z Laugh (Leroidesanimaux {Brz}) and to the useful MSP sire Cajun Breeze (Congrats) as well as GSP Peace At Dawn (Peace Rules). Dr Glick (Constitution) is the first foal out of More Mischief (Into Mischief), winner of the state-bred restricted Biogio's Rose Stakes at Aqueduct. The dam is a half-sister to Eye Witness (City of Light), a stakes winner on turf and synthetic. Wonderland (Medaglia d'Oro) was bought back on a bid of $235,000 at last year's Keeneland September sale, but fetched $385,000 at this year's OBS April Sale after breezing a furlong in :10 flat (see Summer Breezes). The stakes-winning and Grade II-placed dam Miss Southern Miss (More Than Ready) is also responsible for Beyond Stoked (Into Mischief), second in the Caesars Handicap on the turf at Horseshoe Indianapolis July 13.
