7th-Los Alamitos, $41,500, Msw, 6-23, 3yo/up, f/m, 6 1/2f, 1:15.90, ft, neck.
RELATABLE (f, 3, Arrogate–Aunt Els {SW & GSP, $387,378}, by Consolidator) took to the same track where her much-missed late sire also made his 3-year-old first start–a third-place finish in 2016. Highlighted in TDN's Sunday Insights and backed to the hilt at the windows at 50 cents on the dollar here, the $500,000 Keeneland September grad was shuffled back towards the rear of the field up the backstretch. Not out of the mix around the far turn, the filly began to improve and entering the lane she found her best stride. With rival Vibez (Collected) as her only competition left to vanquish, Relatable was not going to be beaten without a fight and she got up in the final jumps to graduate by a neck. The dam of six foals, four to race and now three winners, Aunt Els is responsible for a 2-year-old filly by Higher Power and a yearling filly by Silver State. She was entered in Epicenter's book for this term. Sales History: $500,000 Ylg '22 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $24,600. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.

It looked like it was all just Vibez but RELATABLE ($3.00) got up and held on in the final 1/16th as the heavy favorite in @losalracing race 7. A professional effort by the debuting daughter of Arrogate for trainer @BobBaffert. @JJHernandezS19 was in the irons. pic.twitter.com/5j6m4VdEj3
