MERASOL SUGAR (f, 3, Constitution–Chanel Number Mine, by Value Plus) put in a solid final work Feb. 3 (:48, 4f, 1/63) in preparation for her debut with Lasix here. As a 6-1 shot, the lone first timer in the field cruised to the lead heading into the first turn, and continued to set all the fractions up the backstretch and around the far turn. The homebred had plenty in reserve down the lane and she splashed home by three lengths over Happy Happy (Uncle Mo). The winner is a half-sister to Chanel's Legacy (Dominus), MSW & GSP, $413,144, and is her dam's last registered foal. Chanel Number Mine visited both Lookin At Lucky and McKinzie for the spring. Sales History: $95,000 RNA Ylg '22 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $69,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
