Gary Barber, Cheyenne Stable and Wachtel Stable's RHETORICAL (g, 4, Not This Time–Street Humor, by Distorted Humor) provided his all-conquering sire with his second winner of Keeneland's GI Coolmore Turf Mile in the space of three years, striking from close range to earn an all-expenses-paid trip to Del Mar for the GI Breeders' Cup Mile exactly four weeks down the road.Only once-beaten in five career starts and exiting a popular victory in the state-bred restricted West Point Stakes at Saratoga, the $320,000 Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred Yearling Sale grad was dsipatched at odds of 19-2 and bounced nicely from gate nine and when GIII Mint Millions winner Epic Ride (Blame) went up to sit off the cracking early pace set by Quatrocento (War Front) and the stretching-out Howard Wolowitz (Munnings), Irad Ortiz, Jr. was able to slide Rhetorical down onto the fence to save ground while those ahead of him did the heavy lifting.Enjoying the run of the race for the remainder of the contest, Rhetorical traveled one out and one back with cover on the back of the distance-challenged Howard Wolowitz and was steered three wide and into the clear to lay down his challenge in upper stretch. Rhetorical quickly went to a weakening Quatrocento inside the final furlong and proved an ultimately comfortable winner, as Program Trading (GB) (Kingman {GB}) and Brillian Berti (Noble Mission {GB}) made belated inroads.Rhetorical is the second open Grade I winner on the afternoon bred in New York, joining Frizette Stakes heroine Iron Goddess.Sales history: $320,000 Ylg '22 FTNAUG. Lifetime Record: 6-5-0-1.
