SCATTER THE CLOUDS (f, 3, Langfuhr–Sweet Bama Breeze {SP,
$190,705}, by City Zip), dismissed at over 18-1 in this debut,
broke a bit awkwardly from her rail draw and settled third-last
behind a swift :21.45 quarter. Revving up five deep past the
three-sixteenths pole, the bay finished fast in the final furlong
despite failing to switch leads and just tagged fellow firster
Ozaya (Hyper) by a nose on the wire. The victress is a half to Will
She (Wando), SW, $177,994; and Sweet Grass Creek (Wando),
MSP, $336,575. She has a 2-year-old full-brother named

One winner after another  in the first and second races at Penn National. In the first,  SAN MARCO (Tonalist) owned and trained by Margaret Alexander stalked the pace in second and cleared to break his maiden going 1 1/16 on the turf in a MSW. One race later on the card, MY BOY PADDY (Paddy O’Prado) came from way out of it – full of steam – to win an allowance race at a mile and seventy on the dirt. He is owned by Jellicoe Creek, LLC and trained by Justin Rivera.

VALUED NOTION (Great Notion) earned his first black-type in the  BEN’S CAT S. at  Pimlico, He splashed 5 furlongs on the main track when the race came off the turf. He raced forwardly inside for the win. He was started and conditioned by Cary Frommer.

EDIE MEENY MINY MO (f, 3, Upstart–Plum {SW, $128,440}, by
Pure Prize) continued a promising start to her career Sunday at
a somewhat surprising 3-1 while sporting blinkers for the first
time. A sharp :10 flat breezer at Fasig-Tipton Midlantic last year,
the dark bay debuted a 4 1/4-length winner in a waiver maiden
claimer (not in for the tag as the race condition is effectively a
state-bred maiden special weight plus open $40,000 maiden
claimer) here Apr. 23, and was flattered when two also-rans
from that heat came back to graduate and two more ran
second. With the money pouring in on Liv and Let Liv (Khozan), a
big-figure last-out winner at the level, Edie Meeny Miny Mo was
pushed along up the inside before getting shuffled back into the
turn. She made a nifty move along with the chalk as those two
took over approaching the stretch, but made quick work of her
more fancied rival to romp impressively. The winner has an
unraced 2-year-old half-brother named Gig (Bodemeister), a
yearling half-brother by Twirling Candy and a foal half-sister by
Unified. Sales History: $120,000 Ylg ’19 EASOCT; $400,000 2yo

RIDIN WITH BIDEN (c, 3, Constitution–Allemande, by Medaglia d’Oro), a debut runner-up in the local mud Dec. 23, disappointed when off the board in his next two tries, but put it together with a 5 1/4-length graduation last out here May 19. Knocked down to 4-5 favoritism in this first try against winners, the $85,000 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic buy pressed the pace from second through fractions of :23.4 and :47.2. Drawing on even terms straightening for home, the dark bay put away the pacesetter going by the eighth pole and held sway from late-running I Am Redeemed (Redeemed) for a one-length success.

The winner shares a second dam, four-time GSW Wild Heart Dancing (Farma Way), with Saturday’s GI Jackpocket Jaipur S. upsetter Casa Creed (Jimmy Creed) as well as this year’s GIII Kitten’s Joy S. hero Chess’s Dream (Jess’s Dream). His unraced dam is responsible for a juvenile Tonalist colt.

SHOOTERS SHOOT  – sold by CARY  FROMMER for $300,000 –  added his first black-type rallying to be 2nd in the Triple Bend Stakes G2 at Santa Anita. See below for a nice write up in the TDN following an allowance victory.

SHOOTERS SHOOT  (c, 3, Competitive Edge–Repeat, by Bernardini) was a well-beaten second behind Baffert’s unbeaten buzzsaw Charlatan (Speightstown) at Santa Anita Feb. 16, then successfully stretched to two turns with a powerful maiden breaker in Arcadia last time Mar. 15. Off at 5-2 in this first attempt outside of Southern California, he was sent to the front from his inside draw, but was quickly greeted by favored Blackberry Wine (Oxbow), who has been a lightning rod for conversation since getting disqualified from a pair of wins for medication violations by trainer Joe Sharp while remaining eligible for this condition. Those two threw down through fractions of :23.10 and :45.87, and kept on sluggging it out down the stretch. Shooters Shoot wanted it just a little bit more and got the better of that rival by a neck in a race that didn=t deserve a loser. The winner=s dam, a half-sister to GIII Gotham S. winner J Boys Echo (Mineshaft), is also represented by the 2-year-old colt Black Legend (Gemologist) and a yearling colt by Will Take Charge. She was bred to Collected for the 2020 season.

The well-named 3 year old colt KARNAK (Pioneerof the Nile) broke his maiden sprinting on the turf at Tampa Bay. He was a $350,000 yearling purchase for his trainer Arnaud Delacour.  He raced inside then bid and cleared to win by 1 1/4 lengths. In Aiken he got his start with Legacy Stables.

DREAM SHAKE got his early training with Cary Frommer on the Aiken Training Track. Cary sold him at OBS to part-owner Exline-Border Racing. DREAM SHAKE qualified for the Derby with 2 graded stakes placings, but trainer Peter Eurton opted for the Pat Day instead.  He raced just off the pace and engaged with the eventual winner in a wild stretch duel. He missed by a head. The fractions were FAST:  :21.75, 43.68.and six furlongs in 1:07.97. The final time was 1:34.39
