Navigating the undulations of Kentucky Downs is a unique enough challenge for a veteran racehorse. In just his 2nd career start, Anegada navigated it like an old pro.

Stepping up markedly off a 6th-place debut, the 2yo Midshipman colt led into the last furlong of the one-mile MSW under Edgar Morales and was surpassed late only by Look to the Cross.

Anegada is out of MSW NY-bred Love Cove (Not for Love), whose reliability over a 28-race career has been matched in the breeding shed. Bred by Leonard Supchak, the $40,000 Keeneland September yearling is kin to seven winners (by six different sires).

Bred by David Cassidy, Love Cove is one of three stakes-winning mares out of Sand Pirate (Desert Wine). The now 20yo has boarded at Hurstland Farm since retiring to the breeding shed and is in foal to Echo Town.
