Juddmonte's $900,000 KEESEP acquisition ELITE POWER (Curlin) makes his career bow in this event for Hall of Famer Bill Mott.

She was purchased for $2.15 million by Alpha Delta Stables in foal to Distorted Humor at the 2013 KEENOV sale. The resulting foal was the unraced filly Distorted Lies, whose yearling colt by Gun Runner summoned $875,000 from Courtlandt Farm during Book 2 of the Keeneland September sale last week.
