Sunday Insights: Well-Bred Troop Of Juvenile Fillies Debut At The Spa

6th-SAR, $100K, Msw, 2yo, f, 7f, 3:53 p.m. ET.
Lining up for another competitive maiden special weight at Saratoga, several 2-year-old fillies will be making the first start of their careers.

TRADING STRATEGY (Quality Road) was purchased for $500,000 by Klaravich Stables during last year's Keeneland September Sale. The Chad Brown trainee is out of Dothraki Sea (Union Rags), herself a 2020 $560,000 Keeneland November buy for Band of Brothers while GSP Mc Vay (Constitution)–a $1.25 million Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Yearling Sale grad–was in-utero. This dam is a half-sister to GISW Dixie Chatter (Dixie Union) and GSW Rumor (Indian Charlie).

Also making the race is a filly bred by Pam and the late Martin Wygod named Table Flirt (Constitution). Trained by Bill Mott, the bay is the first foal for GSW Into Chocolate (Into Mischief) who is part of an extended female family which includes MGISW Harmonious (Dynaformer).

Quickick (McKinzie) will be unveiled for trainer Tom Amoss. Initially bought as a weanling by Whisper Hill Farm for $275,000 at the Keeneland November Sale, the filly went to Greg Tramontin through the same ring the following September for $550,000. Her dam GSW Graeme Six (Graeme Hall) is responsible for GSW Cali Star (Street Cry {Ire}) and GSW Delightful Joy (Tapit), who produced GSW Window Shopping (American Pharoah).

Exiting from the outside gate for Jon Clay's Alpha Delta Stables is homebred Trango Tower (Curlin). Also conditioned by Chad Brown, the juvenile is out of MGSW/MGISP Lewis Bay (Bernardini), whose own dam–GSW Summer Raven (Summer Squall)–was one of the top-priced offerings when she brought $1.7 million during Keeneland November in 2009.
