From the TDN – “10th-GP, $40,000, Alw (NW1X)/Opt. Clm ($75,000), 1-1, 3yo, f, 1 1/16mT, 1:42.46, fm. FIFTY FIVE (f, 3, Get Stormy–Soave {SP, $142,734}, by Brahms) ran on well to be third on debut over the Belmont lawn Oct. 13 and graduated next out Nov. 11 at Aqueduct. Let go at 14-1 in this spot, the home bred was off a step slowly and dropped back to run last as a strong pace developed through a :22.76 quarter. The tempo slowed a bit to a :47.58 half and Fifty Five, still last at the three-furlong marker, quickly advanced into contention on the latter half of the far turn. Favored TDN Rising Star Tamit (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) struck the lead briefly near the sixteenth pole, but Fifty Five finished with a full head of steam to soon overhaul that one and notch a half-length upset. Soave’s most recent produce is a juvenile filly by Point of Entry and she was bred to Noble Mission (GB) last term. Sales History: $24,000 RNA Ylg ’15 FTKOCT. Lifetime Record: 3-2-0-1, $63,000.
