Robert Baker, William Mack and Brereton Jones partnered up to go in for $900,000 at Keeneland September on BELIEVE IN ROYALTY (Tapit&log=">Tapit), who makes his debut in this two-turn baby race at Delaware. The gray is the first foal out of Jones's homebred Believe You Can (Proud Citizen), who upset the 2012 GI Kentucky Oaks and captured five other stakes events in her career. Trained by Believe You Can's conditioner, Larry Jones, Believe in Royalty shows a trio of local breezes in August, capped off by a five-furlong gate spin in 1:00 2/5 (6/23) Aug. 17. Fellow firster Lemonade Thursday (Lemon Drop Kid) also looks dangerous. Out of SW Alec's Moon (Malibu Moon), the $250,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga buy shows several bullet works for trainer Arnaud Delacour, including a five-panel move in 1:01 2/5 (1/7) here Aug. 18.
