+HANIEL (f, 3, Mizzen Mast–Nashira, by El Corredor) prepped for this unveiling with a best-of-36 half-mile bullet over the Fair Grounds main track in :47 4/5 Feb. 6 and made good on that promise with a decisive wire-to-wire victory. Hammered down to 5-2 favoritism from a 6-1 morning-line quote, the gray broke sharply from the 11-hole and seized the early advantage, clocking an opening quarter in :24.46 and a half in :50.45. Bowling along on the lead, she sailed clear effortlessly in the stretch to win as she pleased by 3 1/2 lengths. Time to Flirt (Flatter) was the runner-up. Winning trainer Mike Stidham was also represented by Stallion Heiress (Exchange Rate), who was tabbed a 'TDN Rising Star' for her ultra-impressive 7 3/4-length victory in the Joseph E. Spanky Broussard Memorial S. earlier in the day. Sales History: $24,000 RNA Ylg '15 KEEJAN. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $22,800. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
