1st-Ellis, $44,000, Moc ($50,000), 8-4, (C), 2yo, 7f, 1:24.89, ft, 7 lengths.
JUST ASAP (c, 2, Maxfield<\/a>\u2013Movie Moment {GSP}, by Paynter) dominated the Monday opener at Ellis from the front to become the fifth winner for his freshman sire (by Street Sense<\/a>) as the 3-1 third choice.Off alertly from an outside gate, the May foal took up the running at an early stage and enjoyed a soft time of things on the engine through fractions of :23.31 and :47.04. Taken on by the slow-starting Honey Dutch (Knicks Go<\/a>), who loomed a brief danger four or five wide at the quarter pole, the $50,000 OBS April breezer had all the answers and pulled away to score with something in reserve. Avery Place (Vino Rosso) came from well back for second and galloped out past the winner, while Honey Dutch was forced to settle for third.<\/p>\n

The bay is one of three winners from three starters for her Grade III-placed dam, a daughter of this breeder’s dual Grade I victress Starrer (Dynaformer). The latter’s stakes-placed daughter Star Act (Street Cry {Ire}) is responsible for Krikorian’s champion 2-year-old filly Just F Y I (Justify<\/a>) and the colt’s third dam To the Hunt (Relaunch) was twice Grade III-placed and produced a half-dozen winners, including MGISW Stellar Jayne (Wild Rush) and the dam of GISW Star Billing (Dynaformer). Movie Moment has not produced a live foal since Just Asap and was bred to Good Magic<\/a> this past season. Sales history: $95,000 RNA Ylg ’24 FTKOCT; $50,000 2yo ’25 OBSAPR.
