Extraordinary performance for THE FACTOR in
winning the Malibu Stakes with fractionals of:

22.61 (2 furlongs) :)
44.61 (4 furlongs) :D
1:07.92 (6 furlongs) :o
1:19.89 (7 furlongs) :shock:

The track record is 1:19.70, which means that he fell short by 19/100 of a second to equal the track record. But take into account
that THE FACTOR raced outside most of the race.

AQUITANIA (gray/ro filly 2008) third in the Interborough S.
http://www.pedigreequery.com/aquitania8

Note that AQUITANIA is a gray due to the longeve
DANCING DERVISH, A son of Native Dancer out of Mumtaz
by the great sire MAHMOUD. It’s quite rare to see
DANCING DERVISH in a 21st. century pedigree, even rarer
to see his coat color extended.

I don’t remember seeing a tail-male descendant of PAGO PAGO in a long time. Hey the pedigree of this horse is quite curious.
