Flurry Racing Stables and Hoffman Family Racing’s Key of Life went right to the front at the start of Keeneland’s $400,000, Gr. II Beaumont Stakes and was never headed, holding off a late charge to score by a neck.
It’s the third stakes victory for the 3-year-old daughter of Mo Town, a two-time OBS graduate, sold by K P Sales, Agent, at the 2021 October Selected Yearling Sale, and then purchased for $350,000 out of the Top Line Sales consignment at the 2022 Spring Sale after breezing an eighth in :9 4/5. Trained by Brad Cox, she has compiled an 8-5-0-3 career record and earned $633,275.
Paradise Farms Corp., David Staudacher, Skychai Racing and Angelo Carlesimo’s Gaslight Dancer saved ground early in Sunday’s $246,269 Palisades Stakes at Keeneland, then swung out for the drive, took over a furlong out and was best by a length and a half at the wire. Fellow OBS graduate Chiringo (March ’22) checked in third.
It’s the first stakes win for the graded stakes placed 3-year-old colt by City of Light, purchased for $260,000 out of the Julie Davies consignment at the 2022 OBS Spring Sale after breezing an Under Tack eighth in :10 2/5. He’s now 5-2-1-0 for trainer Mike Maker and has earned $282,554.
