McKinzie Street | Benoit

3rd-Del Mar, $75,500, Msw, 7-28, 2yo, 5 1/2f, 1:04.02, ft, 3 1/2 lengths.
MCKINZIE STREET (c, 2, McKinzie–Karpathos, by Tale of the Cat), the 4-1 second choice in his first start since bringing $290,000 at OBS April, had to deal with pressure from heavy favorite Emerald Bay (Nyquist) for much of the early running as the front pair put up a half in :44.93. But off the turn, it was McKinzie Street who had something left, turning back the favorite at the furlong marker and coming home in good order to graduate on debut by 3 1/2 lengths. The front pair was well clear as Emerald Bay was another five lengths ahead of the third-place runner. The fourth winner by his freshman sire (by Street Sense), McKinzie Street is out of a half to both GSW Ikigai (Whywhywhy) and MGSW and sire Kantharos (Lion Heart). Karpathos produced a pair of full-sisters to the winner in 2023 and 2024 before visiting Arabian Lion for 2025. Sales History: $120,000 Wlg '22 KEENOV; $150,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP; $290,000 2yo '24 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $45,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
