After breaking her maiden by 5 1/2 lengths Mar. 31 at Aqueduct, Randomized (Nyquist) was last seen running sixth June 9 in the GI Acorn S. behind GI Kentucky Oaks heroine Pretty Mischievous (Into Mischief).
Installed here as the 13-10 second favorite to her stablemate Accede (Into Mischief), the bay filly broke alertly from the outside post, carved out a half-mile in :47.49 and off the final turn, the $420,000 Keeneland September Yearling purchase dug down and found the wire by 1 1/2 lengths over Just Katherine (Justify) to collect her first stakes win.
On a potential start for his filly in the GI Test S. Aug. 5, Chad Brown said, “You'd think a cut back [would suit]. It's a pretty good group this year. It's shaping up to be a really fast race. She might have to put her hat in the ring for that race. I think it would make sense.”
The winner is out of an extended female family which includes GISP Penny's Reshoot (Turkey Shoot), plus GISP and MGSW Justwhistledixie (Dixie Union). French Passport is a half-sister to MGSW Smooth Air (Smooth Jazz) and Super Phoebe (Malabar Gold), dam to both MGISW Got Stormy (Get Stormy) and MSW Sir Alfred James (Munnings). Randomized counts unraced 2-year-old colt Marginal Cost (Justify) as a half-brother and she has a yearling half-sister by Frosted. Her dam foaled a filly by Maxfield May 11.
