YO FANCY (f, 3, Yaupon–Clarendon Fancy, by Malibu Moon) debuted June 13 at Churchill Downs, and employed similar tactics to what she used here–settling far off the pace and making a huge run late to claim second behind a long gone winner.This time there would be no denying her.Sent off as the slimmest of favorites at 2-1 ahead of Bob Baffert's Kaykay (Charlatan), she watched the race unfold from the back as the latter went right to the front to post an opening quarter in :22 flat. Six wide and rallying on the turn, Yo Fancy was in striking contention entering the lane and had overtaken the longtime leader by the final sixteenth. From there she extended the winning margin to 1 3/4 lengths while Kaykay remained a clear second.The victress is a half-sister to a couple of accomplished racehorses, led by Brightwork (Outwork), GISW, $690,989, who sold for $3-million to Erdenheim Farm Thoroughbreds last year in the Fasig-Tipton November sale. The other stakes runners in the family are Quiet Company (Temple City), SP, $196,835, whose first of racing age is the juvenile Velvet Rope (Golden Pal), and GIII Las Virgenes Stakes-third Just as Fancy (Volatile). Yo Fancy is the most recent to the races for their dam and has a yearling half-brother by Forte as the last registered offspring. The mare was bred to Gun Runner for 2027.Clarendon Fancy hails from an accomplished family as the half or full-sister to three black-type runners and a full-sibling to the mother of the late MGISW Midnight Bourbon (Tiznow) and his half-brothers GISW Girvin (Tale of Ekati), GSW Cocked and Loaded (Colonel John), and GSW Pirate's Punch (Shanghai Bobby). This is the distant female family of GISW Silver Max.9th-Ellis, $100,000, Msw, 7-24, 3yo/up, f/m, 6 1/2f, 1:17.08, ft, 1 3/4 lengths.YO FANCY (f, 3, Yaupon–Clarendon Fancy, by Malibu Moon) Sales history: $525,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP.
