PARTING WORDS (f, 3, Artie Schiller–Lost Love, by Lost Code) was bumped at the break and reported home fourth in her unveiling over the Saratoga lawn Aug. 27, then overcame another troubled start to record a one-length win at the Big A Nov. 14. Given a 7-2 chance to get her sophomore campaign kicked off on the right foot here, the Lael Stables colorbearer was the last of nine to exit the stalls, and trailed the field through fractions of :23.56 and :48.26. With Alan Garcia aboard, Parting Words remained in last on the turn for home, but came alive in the stretch, rallying on the outside to record a good-looking 1 3/4-length decision over Forest Legend (Forest Camp). Parting Words is a half-sister to I Love Silver (Silver Ghost), SW & MGISP, $437,142; Chosen Chief (Marquetry), MGSP, $356,169; and The Max (Point Given), MSW, $145,603. Sales history: $90,000 RNA yrl ’09 KEESEP.
