Bob Baffert and “The Avengers” have three of the seven juvenile colts signed on for this. Carbonite (Union Rags), a $560,000 KEESEP buy, was third in his Los Alamitos debut with minor traffic trouble. He's out of a half-sister to GI Preakness S. hero Cloud Computing (Maclean's Music) and now adds blinkers. Barossa (Into Mischief), meanwhile, was a $775,000 September yearling and is out of GSW Bouquet Booth (Flower Alley). Murray (Street Sense), a relative bargain buy at the same auction at $300,000, is out of a half to MGSW juvenile Listen Here (Gulch) and to the GSP dam of GISW grasser La Coronel (Colonel John).
Peachtree Stable homebred Drink the Wind (More Than Ready) is favored on the morning line at 2-1 for the Peter Miller barn. He's out of GSP Crushed Velvet (Malibu Moon), a debut romper as a late season juvenile for Baffert from the family of the Hall of Famer's champion sprinter Midnight Lute. The bay ridgling prepped for this with a :46 1/5 (1/82) bullet from the gate here July 19 and may be a bit of a talking horse.
Sumter (War Front) could be prepping for a future start on the grass–his dam A Little Bit Sassy (More Than Ready) was a SW/MGSP on the infield, and has a year-older full-sister to Sumter named Pizzazz who broke her maiden over a turfy mile here last November and took the California Oaks on Golden Gate synthetic in April.
