For starts early in their careers who sold for more than $500,000 at their most recent auction, or whose dams or siblings are graded-stakes winners, Horse Racing Nation's Prospect Watch checks all upcoming entries.
These highlight maidens are among the 68 runners this week who satisfy the Prospect Watch requirements:
Keeneland Race 9 on Thursday is a full sister of Red Carpet Ready.
A 3-year-old filly by Oscar Performance named Bougie Not Basic was purchased for $65,000 at the Fasig-Tipton sale in August 2022 by Pura Vida Investments. Saturday, Gulfstream Park race 5, foal out of G1 winner Marketing Mix, makes her career debut going 5 1/2 furlongs on the Keeneland grass for trainer Mike Maker and jockey Irad Ortiz Jr.
Wrigleyville, a three-year-old filly by Into Mischief, is Marketing Mix's fourth offspring to reach the racetrack. On turf, the homebred from Glen Hill Farm will compete against ten other maidens at five furlongs. Edwin Gonzalez will be riding her in the races on behalf of trainer Bethany Baumgardner.
Saturday, $1.5 million filly by Into Mischief in Oaklawn Race 7.
Frank Fletcher Racing purchased Miss Rockette, a 3-year-old filly by the G3-winning mare Song of Spring, for $1.5 million at the Keeneland September yearling sale in 2022. Her debut is 1 1/16 miles on dirt for jockey Juan Hernandez and trainer Bob Baffert. The dam of Dreaming of Julia, Dream Rush, is a member of Miss Rockette's female family.
