Crazy Frazy became another juvenile stakes winner for BLAME on Saturday when the colt won the Listed Sapling Stakes.
The last to load in the one-mile dirt race, Crazy Frazy was first out of the gate before being positioned a few lengths behind the leaders. Sitting in third three paths from the rail down the backstretch, Crazy Frazy snuck up to the leading pair coming into the turn and took over soon after.
Only one other horse could stay anywhere near the eventual winner and that runner engaged him in a duel almost all the way to the wire. Crazy Frazy was not to be denied, however, pinning his ears and digging deep to win by a head with the third-place runner 17 lengths behind the top two.
A Charles Fipke-bred, Crazy Frazy is trained by Jorge Delgado for Lea Farms and was making her fourth career start. She has finished in the top two in three of those four for $167,000 in earnings.
Crazy Frazy is out of a two-time winning Medaglia d’Oro granddaughter of the great Miesque through her stakes-placed daughter Inventing Paradise. The mare is a full sister to graded stakes winners Kingmambo and Miesque’s Son and to successful broodmare Monevassia, who produced Grade 1 winner Rumplestiltskin. That mare’s granddaughter Dreamy won a Group 3 in Ireland earlier in the day.
BLAME is the sire of seven stakes winning juveniles and 23 stakes performing 2-year-olds overall, led by the Grade 1 winning Abscond.
