RED CARPET READY (f, 2, Oscar Performance–Wild Silk, by Street Sense) proved to be just that with a splashy debut performance through the Churchill slop Sunday afternoon. Touching 37-1 at the off, the $180,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga purchase hit the ground running from her low draw and outsprinted the well-backed Bo Derek (Speightstown) to lead them through an opening quarter-mile in :21.74 over the rain-affected surface. With that 7-2 chance her shadow around the turn, Red Carpet Ready shrugged her off in upper stretch and kicked away to score by about nine lengths as much the best. Red Carpet Ready is the 13th individual winner from the first crop of her sire (by Kitten's Joy). Red Carpet Ready is out of an unraced daughter of SW Spun Silk (A.P. Indy), the dam of GI Vosburgh S. winner Joking (Distorted Humor), and hails from the family of MGSW/MGISP Fed Biz (Giant's Causeway). Wild Silk is the dam of a yearling full-sister and weanling half-brother to Red Carpet Ready and was most recently covered by Not This Time.
