SOL D'ORO (f, 3, Bolt d'Oro–Peru {GB} {MSP, $376,735}, by Motivator {GB}) was a well-intended first-time starter here as the 7-2 favorite. Drawn against the rail, she took up shortly after the start to have only 'Insight' runner Just Silvia (Justify) behind her into the backstretch. Angled off the fence past the half in :47.32, she fanned out across the top of the lane with intent and pushed past Table Flirt (Constitution) in the final sixteenth to graduate by 1 1/4 lengths. After stumbling at the start, Just Silva never factored and came in a wrapped-up 10th. Sol d'Oro is the second foal and first winner for Peru and the family includes champion older mare Waya (Fr) (Faraway Son) as the winner's third dam. Steve Rocco picked up Peru's 2-year-old Midshipman colt for $130,000 at KEESEP last year the mare reported a Golden Pal colt in 2024 before visiting City of Light. Sales History: $70,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $42,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
