+CHALON (f, 2, Dialed In–Fall Fantasy, by Menifee) had been working well at trainer Peter Miller’s San Luis Rey base, firing a :48 bullet half-mile June 1 and following that up with a bullet five furlongs in 1:00 2/5 from the gate June 8. Dismissed at 9-1 with Jerry Hollendorfer debutante Unique Bella (Tapit) getting slammed down to 1-5, the bay broke sharply and showed the way through a :22.32 quarter-mile while pressured by You Missed It (Lookin At Lucky). Those two arrived at the top of the lane on even terms before Chalon cut the corner nicely and quickly spurted away from that foe, then held well in the final furlong to score by 2 1/2 lengths on the line. Unique Bella was away last and made a wide move on the turn before getting up to complete the exacta. The victress is the second winner for her freshman sire (by Mineshaft). Her dam is a half to SW & GSP Boston Park (Boston Harbor), while her second dam is a half to MGSW & MGISP Red Attack (Alydar) and GISW Patches (Majestic Light). Sales History: $32,000 Ylg ’15 FTKOCT; $110,000 2yo ’16 BARMAR. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $33,600. Click for the Equibase.com chart orVIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
