Starter Analysis

LIQUIDITY two starts since his sparkling debut haven't been quite as special, but he showed signs of coming around when third in the Real Quiet. Favored in that race, he wound up behind Roman Commander and Unusual Suspect, both in here as well. If you toss the Champagne, he looks a little bit like a horse that is comfortable being around others, not wanting to get too far behind or ahead. That's part of the learning process, and you have to figure that he's got the potential to improve with the addition of blinkers. Workouts are super leading into the race; appears to be sitting on a big effort if he's good enough.

Pedigree Analysis :: Bay colt, 2; by Tiznow - Boa (Rahy)

LIQUIDITY is a son of two-time Breeders’ Cup Classic (GI) champ Tiznow. The California bred son of Cee’s Tizzy was at his best going two turns. All his wins came at three and four, when he captured five graded stakes in addition to the Breeders’ Cup races. His full brother, Budroyale, was also second in the Breeders’ Cup Classic. He gets about 10% winners from his 2-year-old performers. His top juvenile is Tizwonderful, who swept the fall stakes at Churchill Downs this November. Liquidity is the second foal out of Boa, and he is her first winner. Boa is by Rahy, Group One placed at two in England. Lightly raced (six starts, three wins and two seconds), Rahy has turned out to be an excellent sire with his offspring running well on dirt and turf. He is also a half-brother to Singspiel, winner of the Dubai World Cup (GI) and several other top-class races. Boa lost her only start, but comes from a family that includes French Buster, winner of a small turf stake, and Alyrob, third in the Laz Barrera Handicap (GIII).
