VAGRANCY H. (gr. II ), Belmont Park , May 18, 2013 , $200,000 Guaranteed , value of race $200,000 , 3 yo's & up , 6 1/2 furlongs , 1:15.96 Dirt FT .

Glorious View may have taken nine starts to break her maiden but it’s safe to say the Kentucky-bred daughter of Pleasant Tap has figured the racing game out. The 4-year-old filly proved she was ready for stakes company when she posted a tenacious, front-running victory in her black-type debut, the Vagrancy Handicap (gr. II) May 18 at Belmont Park.

Glorious View extended her winning streak to four with her most recent score, which marks her fourth in 12 starts, all on the New York Racing Association circuit. She has earned $303,190 for Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott and breeder Brant Laue, who races the filly in the name of his Laue Ranch.

“We're very proud of how she's come along," said Laue. "You don't often have a horse that takes nine starts to break her maiden and then reel off four victories, including a graded stakes. But that's what makes horse racing interesting."

Laue and Mott also teamed to race Glorious View’s stakes-winning dam, Cayuga’s Waters, who retired from racing with earnings of nearly $200,000. The daughter of Langfuhr was the first horse bought by Laue, who went to $45,000 for her at the 2003 Fasig-Tipton New York preferred yearling sale. She was consigned by Thomas J. Gallo Sales Agency, agent.

Cayuga’s Water’s first offspring, Cascadilla Falls, a 5-year-old daughter of E Dubai, is also a stakes winner. Now a broodmare for Laue, she is in foal to Artie Schiller. Cayuga’s Water’s youngest foal is a Cape Blanco filly, born March 27. She is in foal to Quality Road.

Cayuga’s Water’s 2-year-old Lemon Drop Kid colt fetched $250,000 at the 2012 Keeneland September yearling sale. Consigned by Laue Ranch through Hurstland Farm, agent, he was bought by Ben Glass, agent.

Laue owns and operates Laue Charolais Ranch near Hanover, Kan., with his parents Lester and LeAnna. According to its website, the operation is among the oldest and largest producers of purebred Charolais cattle in the central United States. Brant Laue also maintains a law practice in Kansas City.

Among the other horses Laue has campaigned is three-time graded stakes victor Gun Salute, who scored his major victory in the 2005 Secretariat Stakes (gr. IT).

Pleasant Tap is the sire of 60 stakes winners, including other 2013 added-money victor Sahara Sky (gr. II). Pleasant Tap stood at William S. Farish’s Lane’s End near Versailles, Ky., until he was euthanized due to laminitis in 2010.—E.M.

BED O' ROSES H. (gr. III ), Belmont Park , June 15, 2013 , $150,000 Added , value of race $150,000 , 3 yo's & up , 7 furlongs , 1:20.81 Dirt FT .

Dance to Bristol extended her win streak to five races in the June 15 Bed o’ Roses Handicap (gr. III) at Belmont Park. Perhaps more impressive, though, she did it her first time in graded stakes company and set a stakes record of 1:20.81 in the process. The previous record of 1:22.44 was set in 2010 by Rightly So.

There’s a good deal to be impressed with when it comes to Dance to Bristol. For starters, in 16 starts she’s only finished off the board once. Additionally, since breaking her maiden at her third asking, she’s almost exclusively run in stakes races and has recorded wins in the Skipat Stakes on the Black-Eyed Susan undercard at Pimlico last month, the Sugar Maple Stakes Presented by CANTER Mid-Atlanic Stakes at Charles Town, the Marshua Stakes at Laurel Park, and the Pandera Stakes at Aqueduct Racetrack.

Both her trainer, Ollie Figgins III, and jockey, Xavier Perez—who both also picked up their first graded stakes victory with the Speightstown filly’s performance in the Bed o’ Roses—are impressed anew at her talent. Figgins marvels at how she has kept her winning streak going; Perez describes her final drive to the wire in the Bed o’ Roses as “an easy jog for her.”

Owned by Susan Wantz, Dance to Bristol was bred in Kentucky by Mr. and Mrs. David Garner. She was acquired for $42,000 by David Wantz in 2011 at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-year-olds in training sale, where she was consigned by Cary Frommer, as agent.

Out of the Louis Quatorze mare Dance to Dawn, Dance to Bristol is the first graded stakes winner for her dam from three foals to race and two to win. Her half sister, 3-year-old Twice Told Tale (by Tale of the Cat), is a two-time winner from five starts. Dance to Dawn has also produced She’s Justified, an unraced juvenile filly by Harlan’s Holiday; and an unnamed yearling filly by Tale of the Cat. She was bred to Street Sense in 2013.

Speightstown has sired eight stakes winners so far in 2013. He has sired 45 career added-money winners, who’ve earned more than $35 million. He stands at WinStar Farm near Versailles, Ky., for a $60,000 fee.—M.P.
