Trained by Leah Gyarmati, Sail By was an upset winner of last year’s Grade 2 Miss Grillo in October at Belmont Park, defeating eventual Grade 1-winner McKulick. The bay daughter of Astern brags field-high earnings of $223,900 and a consistent record of 8-2-1-3. This season, Sail By registered black type when finishing a pacesetting third behind next-out winners Consumer Spending and Pizza Bianca in the Memories of Silver on April 24 at the Big A before rounding out the trifecta in the Grade 3 Soaring Softly one month later at Belmont Park. She enters the Pebbles off a troubled sixth in the Grade 2 Lake Placid on August 20 at Saratoga Race Course. “She’s doing great. She came out of that race in good order. She got a little flat at the end of that race, so maybe the mile will be better for her,” Gyarmati said. “At the break, she broke a little awkwardly with her head up in the air. She ran up to be second early on and then got a little flat in there. Hopefully, we will have better luck this time.” Jose Lezcano will retain the mount from post 10. Trainer Chad Brown, a four-time Pebbles winner, will send out a trio of fillies, including Peter Brant’s Gina Romantica, who won the restricted Riskaverse last out on August 25 at Saratoga. The daughter of Into Mischief made her debut on grass in the Riskaverse, making up 10 lengths from eighth to register her third career win while springing a 14-1 upset. A debut winner in March over the main track at Tampa Bay Downs, Gina Romantica defeated winners over the Belmont main track two months later. Flavien Prat retains the mount from post 12. Klaravich Stables’ Faith in Humanity, second in the Riskaverse, will make her third career start for Brown. Prior to her stakes placing, the French-bred daughter of Lope de Vega was a debut winner on July 24 over the Monmouth Park turf course. Manny Franco will ride from post 4. Bahamian Club, owned by Brant, will make her stakes debut following a one-mile allowance optional claiming score on August 12 at Saratoga. The Irish-bred Kingman bay registered an 85 Beyer Speed Figure – the highest of any number recorded by Brown’s three Pebbles contestants – when defeating stakes-placed Diamond Hands by a nose in her last effort. Irad Ortiz, Jr. will seek his second Pebbles triumph when piloting Bahamian Club from post 8. Trainer Christophe Clement, who won the 2013 Pebbles with Discreet Marq, has entered a pair of contestants in Moyglare Stud Farm’s Lia Marina [post 6, Dylan Davis] and Reeves Thoroughbred Racing and R.A. Hill Stable’s Breeze Easy [post 7, Javier Castellano]. Lia Marina, by Uncle Mo, will make her first start since March, where she was fifth in the Grade 3 Herecomesthebride at Gulfstream Park. She was a second out winner in October at Belmont, before capturing her stakes debut in the Wait A While – a race won by her dam Lira in 2013 – on December 3 at Gulfstream Park. Breeze Easy, by Bated Breath, will attempt to rebound following a disappointing sixth in the Galway on August 11 at Saratoga. She made her North American debut in May when a close second in the Grade 3 Soaring Softly at Belmont before finishing third in the Wild Applause on June 25 over the same track. “They’re both doing well,” said Clement’s assistant Christophe Lorieul. “Breeze Easy’s last race was a touch disappointing because turning for home, she was galloping and had plenty of horse. She made a run, but the last sixteenth of a mile she flattened out.” Hall of Famer Todd Pletcher, a two-time Pebbles winner, will be represented by Grade 1-placed A Mo Reay [post 5, Luis Saez] and Majestic Glory [post 1, John Velazquez]. My Racehorse and Spendthrift Farm’s A Mo Reay was third in last year’s Grade 1 Frizette at Belmont Park as a maiden and graduated two starts later going a one-turn mile at Aqueduct. The dark bay or brown Uncle Mo filly was a late-closing third in the last out Riskaverse, advancing from eighth in the final two points of call to finish 1 1/4 lengths behind Gina Romantica. Mrs. Doreen Tabor’s Majestic Glory will make her stateside debut, arriving off a distant eighth in the Group 3 Princess Elizabeth in June at Epsom for her former trainer Andrew Balding. The Frankel bay last tasted victory when defeating next out Grade 1 winner Wild Beauty in the Group 3 Sweet Solera in August 2021 at Newmarket. Completing the field are Golden Rocket [post 2, Jose Gomez], Howdyoumakeurmoney [post 3, Kendrick Carmouche], Miss Carol Ann [post 9, Jose Ortiz] and Saratoga Chrome [post 11, Trevor McCarthy]. Wonka [Junior Alvarado] is also-eligible. The Pebbles is carded as Race 9 on Sunday’s 10-race program. First post is 1 p.m. Eastern.
