4th-Churchill Downs, $121,125, Msw, 11-12, 2yo, 5 1/2f, 1:03.27, ft, 7 3/4 lengths.
MYSTIK DAN (c, 2, Goldencents–Ma'am, by Colonel John) broke quickly in his debut Oct. 22 at Keeneland, but lost the lead down the lane to finish second. Tabbed as the 4-5 choice here, the bay colt tracked the pacesetter from second up the backstretch. Making his move to the outside around the far turn, the Ken McPeek trainee built up a head of steam and really poured it on to win by 7 3/4 lengths over Eusebius (City of Light). Out of an extended female family which includes MGSW Summer Front (War Front) and his half-sister GISW Laragh (Tapit), the winner's dam is responsible for a yearling filly named Yes Ma'am (Unified) and foaled filly Apr. 2 Ford's Ma'am (Knicks Go). She was not bred for next year. Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, $87,500. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
