Five other Stakes horses including 3 subsequent GSW were off the board
Gallant 4th in the G1 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile after contesting blazing fractions from a difficult wide draw. The six-furlong split was 0.36 seconds faster than the winning time in the BC Sprint on the same card
Dueled 3 and 4 wide in the rain-sodden G1 Forego S. at Saratoga this summer, setting torrid fractions of 22-1, 44-3, 1:08-4, only to be caught in the final jumps by Win Win Win, in a field that also included G1 winners, Whitmore, Firenze Fire and Mind Control
Earned a TDN Rising Star, 90 Beyer and an 8 1/2 Ragozin for his debut MdSpWt win at Saratoga, where he wired the field in 1:09 3/5. He won by 4 1/4 lengths over subsequent G2 Holy Bull S. winner, Harvey Wallbanger, with subsequent SW King For A Day another 6 lengths back in 3rd
Returned from a freshening at 3 to defeat older horses at Aqueduct winning “geared down” by 7 ¼ lengths in 1:22 2/5, earning a 101 Beyer and 3 Ragozin
A $375,000 yearling purchase by Mike Ryan on behalf of Klaravich Stables; he was the highest-priced yearling in Maclean’s Music’s third crop
By Maclean’s Music, also sire of the 2020 G1 Champagne S. & G1 Hopeful S. winner, JACKIE’S WARRIOR
Apart from Complexity, his dam, Goldfield, has produced four winners from four others to race, including GSW VALADORNA, who was 2nd by 3/4 length to Caledonia Road in the 2016 G1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies S.
“He’s a rare horse that has been #1 wherever he’s been. He was the most expensive yearling by his sire, the most highly thought of two-year-old at Stonestreet and, by far, our stable’s best colt of his crop. He’s an exceptional talent.” – Trainer, Chad Brown
