https://www.drf.com/news/ward-typical-f ... -keenelandPreempt starts her career at her family’s favorite track in Wednesday’s third race, a $100,000 maiden special weight for fillies and mares sprinting on the main track. Preempt, by Arrogate, is out of Centre Court, a Grade 1 winner on the Keeneland turf who went on to produce local Grade 3 winner Navratilova. Both were homebreds for G. Watts Humphrey and trained by Rusty Arnold, the same connections as Preempt.
The morning-line favorite is Amaretti, a Bernardini homebred for Godolphin and trainer Bill Mott. The filly is a half-sister to Keeneland Grade 2 winner Caramel Swirl and from the immediate family of champion Midshipman and Grade 1 winner Frosted.

Not surprised - Amaretti ran a corker in her debut; I’ve been waiting for her for a long time....what a nice fillyHB1994 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 12, 2023 3:00 pmAmaretti won by 7L.

Ask Duramente(JPN), 2019C. Duramente(JPN) x Proud Spell(USA), scored his second win in style off a 13 months layoff due to injury going 1800m dirt at Hanshin 12R on April 15th 2023.
I get that it’s related to her dam’s name, but why name a nice filly after a mythological sea monster?BaroqueAgain1 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 15, 2023 3:47 pm Scylla (Tapit x Close Hatches), full sister to Tacitus, just won the the 6th at Keeneland in impressive fashion. The Mott-trained bay filly would seem bred to prefer longer, but she mowed down a nice field of 3yo fillies in this 6-furlong MSW on the dirt, and won going away.
Maybe there wasn't any nice girly sea namesHB1994 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 15, 2023 6:00 pmI get that it’s related to her dam’s name, but why name a nice filly after a mythological sea monster?BaroqueAgain1 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 15, 2023 3:47 pm Scylla (Tapit x Close Hatches), full sister to Tacitus, just won the the 6th at Keeneland in impressive fashion.

Maybe she has the Tapit crazies and isn't the nicest fillyHB1994 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 15, 2023 6:00 pmI get that it’s related to her dam’s name, but why name a nice filly after a mythological sea monster?BaroqueAgain1 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 15, 2023 3:47 pm Scylla (Tapit x Close Hatches), full sister to Tacitus, just won the the 6th at Keeneland in impressive fashion.

I've always enjoyed mythology(except the super incest parts, that was always gross). I like that her name is Scylla. When I saw her name, I was kind of hoping they'd name a future daughter of Close Hatches, Charybdis but there is a 2yo Arizona bred filly already named that.HB1994 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 15, 2023 6:00 pmI get that it’s related to her dam’s name, but why name a nice filly after a mythological sea monster?BaroqueAgain1 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 15, 2023 3:47 pm Scylla (Tapit x Close Hatches), full sister to Tacitus, just won the the 6th at Keeneland in impressive fashion.
