Built Constructs Nice Road To Break Maiden At Keeneland
TDN
7th-Keeneland, $100,000, Msw, 10-6, 2yo, 7f, 1:23.96, ft, 1 1/2 lengths.
BUILT (c, 2, Hard Spun–Sea Garden, by Curlin) finished fourth on debut, but then was elevated to third after another horse was disqualified at Ellis Park Aug. 24. The winner who collected a ‘TDN Rising Star’ badge for his effort and was just crowned as the GI Claiborne Breeders’ Futurity champ was East Avenue (Medaglia d’Oro). As the 2-1 second choice here, Built raced in between runners out of the chute and then set up shop off sole leader Homer’s Odyssey (Not This Time) as the field headed up the backstretch. Ranging up on the pacesetter around the far turn, the colt took over at the top of the lane, and had another gear to get the money by 1 1/2 lengths over Render Judgement (Blame). ‘TDN Insight’ runner Tuscaloosa (Candy Ride {Arg}) ended up ninth. The winner is the first registered foal for his dam. Sea Garden produced a colt by Union Rags last year and she was bred to Flameaway for 2025.
