4th-DMR, $75K, Msw, 2yo, f, 5f, 6:36 p.m. ET.
CASALU (Caracaro) was taken home for $775,000 by the Three Amigos–Pegram, Watson and Weitman–at this year's OBS April Sale. Sent to Bob Baffert, the filly posted a four-furlong bullet drill of :46.40 (1/54) at Santa Anita July 8. Out of Key d'Oro (Medaglia d'Oro), the juvenile has a 4-year-old half-sister in SP Twirled (Twirling Candy) and a yearling half-brother by Vekoma. Casalu's second dam is herself a full-sister to sire Yankee Gentleman (Storm Cat). TJCIS PPS

7th-ELP, $71K, Msw, 2yo, f, 1mT, 3:52 p.m. ET.
Just Showing Off (Justify) makes the races for trainer Steve Asmussen. A $700,000 purchase by Douglas Scharbauer at last year's Keeneland September Sale, the filly is the first registered foal for Gaels Win (Daaher). This dam is a half-sister to GSW T.D. Vance (Rahy) and her extended female family includes MGISP and sire Optimizer (English Channel). TJCIS PPS

9th-SAR, $100K, Msw, 2yo, f, 6f, 5:41 p.m. ET.
St. Elias homebred Kiss Me Slow (Into Mischief) drilled from the gate going four furlongs at Saratoga July 14 to the tune of :47.40 (1/147). The 2-year-old, who is making her first start for Chad Brown, counts as a full-brother Rebellious Type–a $1 million buy for Spendthrift, Cypress Creek and St. Elias at the 2022 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Select Yearling Sale. Under Kiss Me Slow's third dam, MGISW My Flag (Easy Goer), we find champion 2-year-old filly Storm Flag Flying (Storm Cat). TJCIS PPS
