Kanthari wins on debut |  Lauren King

4th-Gulfstream, $60,000, Msw, 12-16, 3yo/up, 5fT, :56.10, fm, 1 length.

KANTHARI (c, 3, Kantharos–Ari the Adventurer, by Pioneerof the Nile), a $575,000 OBS March grad last year, was given the 6-5 nod in his afternoon debut but trailed the pace early in fourth. Allen Diggs set a determined pace up front but Kanthari rallied with a three-wide move midway around the turn to get himself into contention despite contact with Cajun Puzzler (Cajun Breeze) at the top of the lane. Showing a good turn of foot up the outside, he inhaled the leader past the sixteenth pole and gained separation late, crossing the line a length ahead of Allen Diggs. Ari the Adventurer, already responsible for Adventurous Lady, MSW, $143,876, produced an un-raced 2-year-old full-brother to Kanthari and saw her yearling colt by Good Magic bring $150,000 at this year's Keeneland September Sale.
