An $850,000 Keeneland September yearling, CONCORD BRIDGE (Medaglia d'Oro) makes the races for owners Talla Racing and West Point Thoroughbreds under the tutelage of trainer John Sadler. Dam Pauline Revere, a half to GI Bing Crosby S. winner American Theorem (American Pharoah) and her first foal, Donegal Mischief (Into Mischief), romped to a 10 1/4-length maiden win on debut at Evangeline Downs July 28.

Lined up just to his outside, Utopian (Curlin) is a full-brother to MGISP Ride On Curlin and out of a daughter of GI Test S. winner Victory Ride (Seeking the Gold). Bob Baffert trains for SF Bloodstock, Starlight Racing, and Madaket.

That one's stablemate lined up inside, Divino (Good Magic), brought $400,000 as a yearling at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Fall Yearling Sale. His second dam, a GI Ashland S. winner, first brought $6,000,000 from Hill 'n' Dale at KEENOV in 2006 and then sold again to John Sikura for a further $3,100,000 at Fasig-Tipton's Fall Mixed Sale two years later. Divino is out of a half to GI Darley Debutante S. winner Mi Sueno (Pulpit) and from the family of $2,000,000 2-year-old and GI Ballerina S. heroine Dubai Escapade (Awesome Again). TJCIS PPS

A Juddmonte homebred by the late Arrogate, Auden will look to become the fourth winner from as many to race for his GSW/MGISP dam.
