A $1-million buy at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Select Yearling Sale, YINZER (Twirling Candy) takes the racing stage for the ownership group of West Point Thoroughbreds, CJ Stables and Bill Farish. The Steve Asmussen trainee is out of Rehearsed (Tapit) who is a full-sister to GISP Closing Bell and a half-sister to GII San Felipe Stakes hero Hear the Ghost (Ghostzapper).
Also making the races is Aerate (Candy Ride {Arg]). The Stone Farm homebred trained by Brian Lynch was produced by Ducru (Broken Vow), the dam of six foals, three to race and two winners. Her half-brother is current sire Unified (Candy Ride {Arg}). TJCIS PPS

Speaking of homebreds, Spendthrift sends out for his debut The Last Straw (Into Mischief). The juvenile is out of GI Del Mar Debutante Stakes heroine Bast (Uncle Mo), who the farm acquired for $4.2 million at the 2020 Fasig-Tipton Fall Mixed Sale. This dam is a full-sister to SP Royal Slipper and her extended female family includes GISW Fault (Blame).
Unveiled by the barn of Bob Baffert is Rodriguez (Authentic). The dark bay, a $485,000 Keeneland September pick for SF, Starlight and Madaket, is a half-brother to GIII Southwest Stakes victor One Liner (Into Mischief) and MSW Provocateur (Into Mischief). Digging into Rodriguez's third dam, we find GISW Albertus Maximus (Albert the Great) and current sire Daredevil (More Than Ready). TJCIS PPS
