Something kind of odd
There are a pair of 2-year-old fillys making their career debuts tomorrow, both are sired by Elusive Quality, and both are out of dams who produced Kentucky Derby winners.
* In Delaware Park's 7th race- Irish bred debuter Elusive Moment (Elusive Quality - I'll Get Along) is a full sibling to '04 Kentucky Derby winner Smarty Jones.
While debuting at Delaware Park may seem like a discouraging thing, such recent star power as Afleet Alex, Barbaro, Bellamy Road, and Hard Spun have debuted there. As well as Soto, High Limit, and Adore The Gold.
* In Keeneland's 5th race- Elusive Sparkle makes her career debut. (by Elusive Quality out of Bedazzle) she is a half sibling to '07 KY Derby winner Street Sense.
Also debuting in that race is Interior Design - who is a full sibling to Champion 2-year-old Tempera...who earned the highest Beyer in BC Juvenile Filly history when she won in 2001. She died in Dubai the following winter.
You also have a full sibling to Battle Won in that race....of Cannon Shell fame.
