Conditioner Brad Cox will have the honor of being the first to send out the offspring of Songbird to post as MAGICAL SONG (Tapit) is slated to debut here on the Breeders' Cup 'Stars of Tomorrow' undercard. Out of the aforementioned Champion 2 & 3-year-old filly, she will be the first to the races for the half-sister to the dam of GSW Mico Margarita (Run Away and Hide), beating out 3-year-old half-sister Song Gate (Arrogate) to the blocks; the latter would end up not making it to the track as announced earlier this year by Timber Town Stables. The black-type in the pedigree runs heavily under the third dam Beaty Sark (Deputy Minister), who is responsible for no less than 17 graded stakes and stakes-quality runners within two generations of her. Magical Song, carrying the colors of her breeder Whisper Hill Farm, will break one off the rail for this baby dash over the main track. TJCIS PPs

Godolphin will unveil their latest filly with an enviable pedigree: a half-sister to Scat Daddy named ACCIDENTAL ICON (Into Mischief). In addition to the multiple Grade I-winner, she also claims GISP Antipathy (A.P. Indy), SW Grand Daddy (Johannesburg), and SW Lovestruck (Tapit) as half-relations as well as the dam of MGSP Classic Fit (Bernardini). Second dam Likeable Style was a Grade I-winner who produced MSP Grat (A.P. Indy), herself the dam of GSW Old Time Hockey (Smarty Jones).  CHP Racing and Chad Brown team up here to send out $375,000 KEESEP procurement Guns n' Graces (Gun Runner) from the rail in this mile debut. Out of the graded stakes-winning half-sister to GSW Level Playingfield (Level Sands), the filly also has a placed 3-year-old half-brother Lead Actor (Candy Ride {Arg}). TJCIS PPs
