7th-Churchill Downs, $115,950, Msw, 11-14, 2yo, 5f, :57.91, sy, 2 1/4 lengths
DONUT GOD (c, 2, Into Mischief–Sweet Kisses {SP, $116,127}, by Carpe Diem) took plenty of money, dropping down from his 8-1 morning line to break as the 7-5 favorite facing a largely inexperienced field. Ridden for early speed from the middle of the gate, the $400,000 KEESEP grad quickly cleared the group and opened up a clear advantage through fractions of :22.39 and :45.56 over a sloppy Churchill main track. El Prestigio (Practical Joke) made a quarter-pole run at the leader but was ultimately no match as Donut God spurted away inside the furlong pole and came home an easy 2 1/4-length winner. Sweet Kisses, who sold for $700,000 at FKTNOV in 2021 to Aaron and Marie Jones, is a half-sister to GSW/MGISP Shancelot (Shanghai Bobby) and to MGSP One True Kiss (Warrior's Reward). Donut God has a yearling half-brother by Charlatan who brought $170,000 at KEESEP this year and a weanling half-brother by Uncle Mo. Sweet Kisses went to Not This Time for 2025. Sales History: $250,000 Wlg '22 FTKNOV; $400,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $69,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
