SPIRALIZER (c, 2, Twirling Candy–Jotown, by Speightstown) sold earlier this year for $550,000 at OBS March for Wathnan Racing and jumped as the 8-5 favorite facing a field of fractious rivals in the pre-race lead up. Once settled and in the gate, the favorite was ridden for the lead from his rail draw and always looked the winner, traveling confidently along the fence and coming home unchallenged to win by two lengths. Asleep At Eight (Frosted) beat home a trio of closers for second. Jotown, herself a $550,000 KEESEP yearling, is a daughter of GSW/GISP Jojo Warrior and a half to 'TDN Rising Star' Under Oath (Speightstown). This is the family of 'Rising Stars' J Z Warrior (Harlan's Holiday), A Z Warrior (Bernardini) and E Z Warrior (Exploit). Spiralizer is his dam's first foal and has a yearling Maclean's Music half-brother and a newborn half-sister by Golden Pal. Sales History: $250,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP; $550,000 2yo '24 OBSMAR. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $42,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
