New worker for Corinthian: Stauffenberg (colt; Corinthian - Valkyries' Ride by Dixieland Band) worked 2 furlongs in :26.40 at Santa Anita. He sold for $2,000 as a yearling, and for $6,000 as a 2-year-old. He is a half brother to the winner Shofar. Their dam, Valkyries' Ride, is a half sister to three winners, including stakes winner Grand Deed. I assume that the name comes from Claus von Stauffenberg, who was part of the Valkyrie plot to kill Hitler. Stauffenberg was played by Tom Cruise in the movie version. However, Valkyries' Ride probably refers to the Wagner work (more commonly known as The Ride of The Valkyries), especially since she is by Dixieland Band. You may be familiar with the music as used in Apocalype Now and elsewhere.
Entrymates Rock the Moon (Malibu Moon - A Song in A Minor by Real Quiet) and AE entrant Strike It Green (Smart Strike - Green Noble by Green Dancer) were out, as well as MTO Draw It (Tapit - Illustrated by Deputy Minister), since the race stayed on the firm turf. AE entrant Exchange Miss (Exchange Rate - Storm Miss by Storm Creek) drew into the race. Ms Silver Oak (Leroidesanimaux (BRZ) - Songthrush by Unbridled's Song) was the even money choice. Littlegreatone (Bernardini - Megahertz (GB) by Pivotal (GB)) was ignored at 30-1. However, she made a decent appearance. Malibu Spice (Malibu Moon - Buxton Spice by Bold Ruckus) had some spunk as they went to the track. I couldn't fault the appearance of the favorite, but High On Kitten (Kitten's Joy - High Chant by War Chant) looked good as well. The start was fair. Malibu Spice went for the lead, but High On Kitten was right there too. Littlegreatone was at the back. The fractions were pedestrian: :24.76, :50.09, but soon Littlegreatone was making some progress. High On Kitten hit the front, but Ms Silver Oak was coming. High On Kitten fought, but Ms Silver Oak wore her down for a 1 1/4 length victory. Littlegreatone just got her head in front of a tiring Saucy Jade (Rock Hard Ten - Nureyev's Encore by Nureyev) for third. Another good effort from her. Any mile and a quarter maiden turf races out there? Ms Silver Oak and High On Kitten had finished 2nd and 3rd in their most recent start. Watch the Replay.
