4th-Belmont The Big A, $90,000, Msw, 10-31, 3yo/up, f/m, 7f, 1:22.05, ft, 6 lengths.
GRAND JOB (f, 3, Justify–Sure Route {GB} {MSP, $201,163}, by Ishiguru) made her first North American start Thursday and certainly seemed to take to the Aqueduct main track after four prior starts in Ireland on both grass and Tapeta as a juvenile. Off the 13-month layoff and racing with Lasix for the first time, the 5-2 second choice got away quickly and led narrowly inside of No Tricks (Into Mischief). Shaking off that pressure into the far turn, she had plenty to offer in the final furlongs, coming home under an easy hand ride to win by six lengths. Shop Lifting (Into Mischief) came from the back to be second. Sure Route, who sold carrying the winner in utero for just $17,000 at KEENOV in 2021, has already produced Divine Image (Scat Daddy), Hwt.-UAE- at 7 – 9 1/2 f., GSW-UAE, $391,535. She foaled a colt by Golden Pal this year, her first foal since Grand Job. Sales History: $105,000 Ylg '22 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 5-1-3-0, $62,272.
