SUPERWOLF (g, 2, Instagrand–Sunshineandsilence, by Speightstown) debuted in the local Cleveland Kindergarten Stakes Aug. 10 and argued the pace through the middle furlongs before settling for a promising runner-up effort. Accordingly off at 1-20 against maidens this time around, the Marion Gorham runner sprinted clear under a good hold to lead after a furlong and never truly took a deep breath under hands-and-heels encouragement in decimating his rivals by a baker's dozen in good time. The ninth winner for his freshman sire (by Into Mischief), the Ohio-bred is a maternal grandson of Slew Deputy (French Deputy), a full-sister to Grade I winner Mayo on the Side, herself the dam of MGSW/MGISP Midcourt (Midnight Lute), SW French Dip (Speightstown) and SP Havana Dream (Quality Road). Superwolf is the last live produce from his dam. Lifetime Record: SP, 2-1-1-0, $40,340. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
