Remain Anonymous (Tapiture) was bet down to 5-2 from a 15-1 morning-line quote and ran to her backing with a 'TDN Rising Star'-worthy debut score. A tad slow from post 10, the bay saved ground in seventh off of an opening quarter in :22.13. Tipping off the fence as the half went in :45.89, she was at least six wide turning for home and unleashed a powerful late turn of foot under a hand ride from Joel Rosario, rolling clear to graduate by 3 1/4 lengths over $525,000 KEESEP purchase Sixth Street (Tapit). Remain Anonymous is the 11th winner for her freshman sire (by Tapit).

Secret Witness, a half-sister to GSW Trailthefox (Foxtrail), produced a full-brother to the winner in 2018 and foaled a filly named Protectthewitness (Peace and Justice) this spring.
