Noted bounced back from a disappointing ninth-place finish in the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile last month. He secured his second stakes victory of the season in the Pulpit S. He had previously been victorious in Monmouth’s Sapling S. in August after breaking his maiden at Saratoga.
He narrowly missed a graded victory by a nose on Oct. 8 in Keeneland’s GII Bourbon S. Unfortunately, he finished way back in the field last month at the Breeders’ Cup. Breaking as the 6-5 favorite and bumping with the outside runner, Noted settled in seventh for most of the race.
Noted was coaxed along into the far turn. He was angled out sharply leaving the bend and caused tight quarters for a pair to his outside. He kicked on from eight wide into the final furlong to nail Reminder in the final strides to win by a neck. With this victory, jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. completed his sweep of the turf features on the card.
Pletcher, Noted’s trainer, shared his thoughts. “I was a little concerned with the 7 1/2 [furlongs, today] but he seemed to come out of the Breeders’ Cup well,” he said. He added that Noted carries good condition and is an easy horse to train, so he felt like he was ready to run back.
Noted ($4.40) was stuck in a crowd but got out late to storm home and win the Pulpit Stakes at Gulfstream Park. The son of Cairo Prince was ridden by Irad Ortiz, Jr. and is trained by Todd Pletcher. Nice call @bernier_matt who gave out 26-1 2nd place finisher #4 Reminder.
Noted is the first to the races after his eldest full-brother died in 2021. He leads the way for his young dam’s broodmare career. She produced a yearling filly by Global Campaign as well as a 2023 filly by Upstart. Sea View Nellie, out of MSW & GISP Pocho’s Dream Girl–making her a full-sister to MGSW Mark Valeski and a half to GSW & GISP Albano (Istan), went back to Upstart for 2024.
This is the extended female family of MSW Pacific Pink, herself the dam of GSP Make the Boys Wink (More Than Ready), and SP Caironi (Cairo Prince). Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
