BANNEKER (c, 2, Not This Time–Bosserette, by Street Boss), a $210,000 Keeneland September purchase, was the lone firster in a field of five and turned in a dominating debut effort. Off as the 29-10 second choice, the attractive dark bay broke on terms, but was content to take a trail from third through the middle stages. Going ominously well under a full-Nelson nearing the stretch, he was eased out and around odds-on Hector (Maclean's Music) in upper stretch and went on to score with consummate and impressive ease while never off the bridle. The winner's dam is also represented by a yearling Brody's Cause colt, a weanling filly by Creative Cause and was most recently bred to yet another Giant's Causeway-line stallion in the form of Mitole.
