Greatest Honour’s Vanta Flies Home First in Del Mar Juvenile Fillies Turf

---

Vanta (f, 2, Greatest Honour–Goodn’ready, by More Than Ready) stormed to victory in the Del Mar Juvenile Fillies Turf Sunday, becoming the first stakes winner for her freshman sire (by Tapit). The even-money favorite hopped at the break and settled near the back of the strung-out field behind fractions of :22.92 and :47.85. She made rapid progress along the rail approaching the stretch and, tipped out at the top of the lane, the dark bay filly came flying late to win going away by 2 1/2 lengths. She completed the mile in 1:36.30. Blockade (Knicks Go) was second and Ogle (Oscar Performance) was third.

“She got away a little slow, but I don’t think it mattered,” said winning trainer Jeff Mullins. “[Jockey Umberto Rispoli] was riding her with a lot of confidence. I wasn’t worried about it. When he called on her up there, he needed a seat belt. He said he could have gone over the top. He could have gone through them. She’s just one of those fillies you can put her where you want and she’ll get you there.”

Vanta came running late to win her five-furlong debut over the Del Mar lawn July 31.

The unplaced Goodn’ready, a daughter of GII La Prevoyante Handicap winner Redaspen (Bianconi), has not produced a foal since Vanta was born in 2024.

$2.3-Million Without Hesitation is Winner Number 10 for Jackie’s Warrior

---

Without Hestitation (f, 2, Jackie’s Warrior–Brazen Persuasion, by Indian Charlie), a $2.3-million purchase at the OBS April sale earlier this year, graduated by 1 3/4 lengths in the night cap at Kentucky Downs Sunday to become the 10th winner for her freshman sire (by Maclean’s Music). The 5-2 shot was hustled out to keep pace with the early leaders. She forged to the lead early on the straight and was pulling away late despite wandering in and out down the lane. Majorbrowniepoints (Twirling Candy) finished second.

Without Hesitation, purchased by Arleigh Bonnaha for $140,000 at the 2025 Keeneland September sale, became the highest-priced filly to sell at OBS following her :9 3/5 work. She was fifth in her 5 1/2-furlong debut over the Saratoga lawn Aug. 5.

The winner is a half to Ruggs (Gun Runner), SP, $373,251. Her dam has a yearling Liam’s Map colt–who was a $120,000 RNA at the recent Fasig-Tipton New York-bred sale–as well as a 2026 filly by Bucchero. She was bred back to Tapit for next term.

12th-Kentucky Downs, $178,181, Msw, 9-6, 2yo, f, 6 1/2fT, 1:17.61, fm, 1 3/4 lengths.
WITHOUT HESITATION (f, 2, Jackie’s Warrior–Brazen Persuasion {GSW, $148,910}, by Indian Charlie) Sales History: $140,000 Ylg ’25 KEESEP; $2,300,000 2yo ’26 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $106,600. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel Racing.
