LIAM IN THE DUST (f, 2, Liam's Map–Whisper Louise, by Bernardini) debuted at even-money here. The favorite clung to a tenuous lead nestled between a pair of rivals, which included to her outside up the backstretch Impulse Buy (Speightstown). The 2-year-old secured the top spot around the far turn and past the three-sixteenths pole her overdrive kicked in. Cruising along, the chestnut won by 2 1/4 lengths over Impulse Buy. The winner has a younger full-sister who is now a yearling and her dam foaled her a half-sister by Global Campaign Apr. 24. A half-sister to GSW First Passage (Giant's Causeway)–the dam of GSW Berned (Bernardini)–Whisper Louise was bred to Caracaro for next term. Liam in the Dust's extended female family includes GISW Pinehurst (Twirling Candy), and under her third dam we find sire MGSW Graeme Hall (Dehere) and his half-sister GISW Harmony Lodge (Hennessy).
