Iowa-bred Glengarry (Maximus Mischief) ran his record to three wins from as many appearances with a good-looking victory in Saturday's Bowman Mill S. at Keeneland.
The 5-2 second choice off a 12 3/4-length romp against his fellow state-breds in the Sept. 30 Iowa Cradle S., the gray colt was under the pump early from Luis Saez as he tried to match strides with Cowes (Outwork) to his outside, but when it was apparent that he was not going to make the lead, Glengarry was taken hold of for a stride or two and guided into the two path to stalk the loose leader. Asked to claim that front-runner as they hit the stretch, Glengarry went for home at the three-sixteenths, but may have idled a bit as Normandy Hero (Omaha Beach) began to cut into the lead. But the Doug Anderson trainee rebroke and maintained a safe margin to the wire.
“It was a pretty quick decision we had to make,” Saez said of the choice to drag Glengarry off the pace. “We know this horse has been running on the lead, and he's fast. Today was a tough race. He broke from there sharp, and we had a little pressure, but we had to make a quick decision and take a little hold. I put him right there outside, and he responded perfectly.”
A $55,000 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky July yearling, Glengarry made for a nice profit when hammering for $150,000 at this year's Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-year-olds in training sale in May. One of two stakes winners for his leading freshman sire (by Into Mischief), Glengarry is out of a half-sister to a pair of black-type placers and has a yearling half-sister by Good Samaritan and a weanling full-sister. L. A. Way was most recently bred to Tonalist. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
