FRENCH HORN (f, 2, Complexity–Emma’s Encore {GISW, $398,248}, by Congrats) was rewarded for her debut as the 1-1 choice here. The filly got down to business from the bell by making the pace up the backstretch. Chased by her three rivals, she continued to make every pole a winning one around the far turn and into the lane. The juvenile dug down and found more to deliver a second win for her freshman sire (by Maclean’s Music). Fellow first timer Kokomo (Flameaway) was second by 1 3/4 lengths. The winner is a half-sister to Man Friday (American Pharoah), SP, $173,138. Emma’s Encore foaled a filly last year named Dare to Know (Daredevil) and she was bred to Highly Motivated for this season.
