Saratoga Maidens, Presented by KeenelandBach Stables' Chief of Peace (Munnings), a 15-1 outsider, just got his nose in front of 3-5 favorite And the Runner Is (Oscar Performance) and pacesetting Harbaugh (Not This Time) to graduate in his 1 1/16-mile debut over the lawn at Saratoga Sunday. The $300,000 Keeneland September yearling settled just off the pace in third as Harbaugh set a modest tempo up front with his Mark Casse stablemate And the Runner Is in close attendance. When Harbaugh drifted out into the lane, Chief of Peace had clear sailing along the rail, but And the Runner Is and Harbaugh inched away and looked to have the race between them only to have Chief of Peace produce a furious late rally to get to the line first.Chief of Peace is out of the stakes-placed Love Beach (Bernardini), who also has a yearling filly by Uncle Mo and a weanling colt by Liam's Map. She was bred back to Munnings this year. Love Beach is a daughter of Group 1-placed Famous (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}), who is a full-sister to multiple Group 1 winner Mastercraftsman (Ire).Love Beach was third in the 2019 Selima Stakes in the colors of her breeder, Mt.
