Act the Part lived up to her name in her maiden special weight victory on May 17, rolling home a six-length winner in the 5 1/2-furlong contest at Mountaineer Park.
The 3-year-old Astrology filly had the lead the entire trip, winning in hand after opening by a nearly double-digit margin at the top of the lane.
Bred in Kentucky by Whispering Oaks Farm, Act the Part is out Just for You, who is a half-sister to graded stakes winner Minister’s Melody, who is the dam of Wood Memorial (G1) winner Bob and John. Act the Part’s female family also traces directly back to Hall of Famer Exceller and champion Capote.
Astrology is a leading Second-Crop sire of winners in 2017, with 19 to date. The Classic-placed son of A. P. Indy is standing this year at Taylor Made Farm for $6,500 live foal.
