HORSE OVERVIEW
Givememythememusic was a visually impressive 2 ¼-length debut winner going seven furlongs at Aqueduct against New York-breds Jan. 25, and is expected to contest the $125K Gander S. on Saturday, Mar. 8 back at the Big A.
The chestnut gelding was conditioned by Christophe Clement for his debut, and will remain in the Clement barn going forward. MyRacehorse has enjoyed great recent success with Team Clement in the New York-bred ranks, with the likes of the very promising November maiden romper Real Savvy–who is gearing up now for a sophomore campaign that figures to involve stakes appearances of his own; and Miss American Pie, a clear-cut maiden special weight winner going the same seven-furlong trip in New York on Feb. 8.
Clement has won two prior renewals of the Gander–more than any other trainer–including last year’s running, and his high opinion of Givememythememusic was a big factor in our decision to acquire the son of Game Winner out of the Fasig-Tipton February Digital Sale.
Givememythememusic appears to possess tons of upside, and should have plenty of big purse opportunities ahead of him on the prestigious NYRA circuit. Our team feels he is particularly well suited to the $250K Albany S. to be run at Saratoga on New York Showcase Day, one day after the G1 Travers. Clement has won the last two Albany trophies, and three overall–tied for the most by any trainer.
Givememythememusic is a big, strapping individual who should only get better with more distance and time. He hails from the first crop of champion Game Winner, who has also been represented thus far by the likes of Grade 1 winner Gaming. Gaming is bred on a version of the same cross as Givememythememusic, and the latter is also bred very similarly to none other than superstar Gun Runner, with both representing the Candy Ride sire line and being out of Giant’s Causeway mares.
Givememythememusic is a half to five stakes performers, and his dam is a half to G1 Kentucky Oaks heroine Summerly. This is a very deep family of mostly two-turn dirt horses.
His upside is immense, and it’s not often that you can buy into a horse who will immediately compete in a stakes race.
