Even though all three recorded 84 Beyers, 2-year-old Flight Command takes the third spot because he carried 123 pounds to 118 for the other two.4 (tie). TAGERMEEN, CD, 6/27-3rd, 6 1/2 furlongs (VIDEO)Beyer Speed Figure-84(c, 3, Into Mischief–Silk Route, by Empire Maker)O-Tagermeen Racing. B-Scott/Evan Dilworth & Randy Andrews (Ky). T-Steve Asmussen. J-Jose Ortiz.In his three most recent starts, Tagermeen had been favored against champion Ted Noffey (Into Mischief) and Englishman (Maxfield) and then hooked Commandment (Into Mischief). Making his 3-year-old bow last Saturday after a 7 1/2-month break, he caught a beatable field and won by daylight with his usual tactical speed. And here's one you don't hear often: his Juddmonte-bred dam was bought for only $10,000 in November 2024 and sent to Libya. Five months later, Tagermeen sold as a 2-year-old for $1.4 million.4 (tie). BODACIOUS BAY, CD, 6/26-8th, 1 1-16 miles (VIDEO)Beyer Speed Figure-84(f, 3, Not This Time–Bodacious Babe, by Mineshaft)O-Storyteller Racing and Breffni Farm. B-Breffni Farm (Ky). T-Rudy Brisset. J-Cristian Torres.After two runnerup finishes this year, Bodacious Bay successfully stretched out to 1 1/16 miles, as her pedigree indicated she should. A $350,000 yearling, she's out of GSP Bodacious Babe and is a half-sister to Gr. II winner and $1.1-million earner Royal Spa. Furthermore, the dam is a half-sister to Gr. I winner Sippican Harbor, dam of Commandment, and Japanese stakes runner Awesome Result.Flight Command | Coglianese3. FLIGHT COMMAND, BAQ, 6/25-5th, 5 1/2 furlongs (VIDEO)Beyer Speed Figure-84(c, 2, Flightline–Stonetonic, by Candy Ride {ARG})O-LSU Stables. B-Machmer Hall, Carrie & Craig Brogden (Ky). T-Rudy Rodriguez. J-Manny Franco.The spotlight is already shining on Larry Sarf's Flight Command as the first winner for sire Flightline, and why not? He romped by 10 lengths in this debut and he's genetically equipped for quickness on both sides of his family. His dam was unraced but is a daughter of Gr. II winner Stonetastic, also bred by the Brogdens, who a decade ago recorded stratospheric sprint Beyers of 109, 108 and 104.2. PRESIDE, CD, 6/27-2nd, 1 1/16 miles (VIDEO)Beyer Speed Figure- 95 (2nd)(c, 3, Tiz the Law–Georgian Dancer, by Souper Speedy)O-Spendthrift Farm, St Elias Stable, West Point Thoroughbreds and LVD Racing. B-Schwing Thoroughbreds (La). T-Steve Asmussen. J-Jose Ortiz.After making what consignor Steven Venosa described as “amazing” progress from $125,000 yearling to $1.5-million sales-topping 2-year-old at OBS April, the Louisiana-bred Preside showed what the fuss was about with this stakes-worthy Beyer on the stretchout in a half-length defeat. His debut three weeks earlier was educational, as it turned out: he completely missed the break and made a nice mi-race gain before flattening out late. He's the first to race out of his stakes-placed dam, a half-sister to 2016 Canadian female sprint champion River Maid.1. SASSMASTER, CD, 6/27-2nd, 1 1/16 miles (VIDEO)Beyer Speed Figure-96(c, 3, Curlin–Sass and Class, by Harlan's Holiday)O-Mark Breen. B-Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings (Ky). T-Anthony Sciametta Jr. J-Flavien Prat.Given his 9-1 price, Sassmaster may have even surprised his connections somewhat; not with the victory as they landed Prat, but with the sterling second-out 96 Beyer off a 10 1/2-month layoff. Owner Breen went to $550,000 to acquire him as an October yearling from Stonestreet, who has made a nice return on dam Sass and Class. She was purchased by Barbara Banke for $350,000 in November 2020 after her first foal, Royal Charlotte, won Gr. II and Gr. III stakes with Beyers of 92 and 89, respectively. Her two most recent sales yearlings have now brought $550,000 and $875,000 and Stonestreet still has her yearling filly by Flightline and weanling filly by McKinzie.The post Five Fastest Maidens: June 23-29 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
