Closers are often victim to whatever pace unfolds in front of them, but Parfois (Ire) (Kodi Bear {Ire}) missed that memo, and rolled into the lane on this American debut with so much momentum that it took her almost nine wide.In the end it didn't matter in the slightest as she rolled home by daylight and more than handily earned her stamp of approval as the newest 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard'.Parfois actually had a successful debut at La Teste Buch in France last August where she unofficially defeated a field of maidens in a right-hand contest quite comfortably for trainer Philippe Sogorb. But during the course of the race, where jostling left one competitor in front of her pulled up, she muscled in on a runner herself. She set off a chain reaction that caused the rider of one of the fillies to fall to the course, thus causing her to be disqualified to seventh.Acquired after that race by her new connections, she was imported to the States and moved into the barn of Chad Brown, where she has steadily amassed a healthy worktab at Payson Park. Running with first-time Lasix here, she was well-received by the betting public and left the gates carrying 3-2 favoritism.In no rush after the jump, even as a rank early leader posted an opening quarter in :21.78, Parfois watched the action unfold from eighth along the fence. Asked to improve her position after a half-mile in a decidedly slower :46.84 and six panels in 1:12.21, she was rolling with a full head of steam into the far turn. Six wide through there and swung as far as nine off the fence to clear the field turning for home, the leaders never saw her coming. Swamping her competition to her inside, Parfois was green as the lawn in the lane but her margin never stopped increasing over Aporia (War Front). By the time she hit the wire, the victress was 6 1/4 lengths in front and Irad Ortiz Jr. had his hands full in the gallop out as well.There is historical precedence for this brilliance in Parfois's family, as her dam is a half-sister to no less than five Group winners and runners in Europe with one being placed at the highest level. Alors Quoi (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}) has produced two successful offspring thus far as well as a placed gelding in England. Her most recent to come of age is a juvenile colt by Dark Angel (Ire) and she has a yearling colt by Space Blues (Ire) in the wings.The aforementioned half-siblings to the dam include several black-type producers as well, namely Bikini Babe (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}) and Zut Alors (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}). The former is mother to an English Group winner named La Barrosa (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) and a French Listed-placed filly. The latter sister claims G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches heroine Precieuse (Ire) (Tamayuz {GB}) to her tally as well as also Peut Etre (Ire) (Whipper)–who would emulate her own mother as the dam of Group 1 winner Hypothetical (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}).Further down the pedigree yields a host of classy runners, including the likes of multiple Group 1-placed Massaat (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) and his half-brother G1 Commonwealth Cup victor Eqtidaar (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}). 11th-Tampa Bay Downs, $32,000, Msw, 3-29, 3yo, f, 1mT, 1:36.23, fm, 6 1/4 lengths.PARFOIS (IRE), f, 3, by Kodi Bear (Ire) 1st Dam: Alors Quoi (Ire), by Siyouni (Fr) 2nd Dam: Zeiting (Ire), by Zieten 3rd Dam:Belle de Cadix (Ire), by Law SocietyLifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $18,240.
