2nd-Horseshoe Indianapolis, $33,280, Msw, 5-9, 2yo, 4 1/2f, :53.19, wf, 1/2 length.
BAYTOWN BOO BOO (c, 2, Instagrand–Profound Legacy, by Proud Citizen) made a pair of attempts to break his maiden at Keeneland, and finished fifth Apr. 17 and fourth Apr. 26. Debuting as the 9-5 choice while facing four others here, the colt set the tone early up the backstretch as first-time starter Special Creed (Jimmy Creed) tried to keep pace. Arriving at the top of the lane, the juvenile turned up the pressure, steadily separated himself from his rival in the final furlong and won by half a length. Baytown Boo Boo is his first-crop sire's (by Into Mischief) first worldwide winner out 135 foals of racing age, and is his dam's first registered foal. Profound Legacy is responsible for a yearling filly by Rowayton and she revisited Instagrand for this season. Her full-sister is GI Kentucky Oaks heroine Believe You Can, who herself produced GSW Conclude (Collected). Lifetime Record: 3-1-0-0, $25,360. Click for the Equibase.com chart.
