Juvenile 'passes' go in Nashua and collects Despite a stumbling start, Darley Stable's DAY PASS (Five Star Day) took the lead soon after the gates opened on Friday's $112,900 Nashua S. (G3) at Aqueduct, and was never headed en route to a 4 1/4-length victory in the eight-furlong test. With Fernando Jara aboard, the Kiaran McLaughlin trainee stopped the clock in 1:36 on the fast dirt and returned $6.10, $3.30 and $3.40 as the 2-1 favorite. Sightseeing (Pulpit) traveled in last in the early part of the race, but steadily made his way up to take second by 1 1/4 lengths, giving back $5 and $4.50 at nearly 7-1 while ending the $41.20 exacta. Xchanger (Exchange Rate), sent off at 15-1, was worth $5.50 for taking third and completing the $314 trifecta (7-4-2). Pink Viper (Smoke Glacken) followed in fourth and next came Adore the Gold (Formal Gold), Cowtown Cat (Distorted Humor), Sipsey (Peruvian) and Trading Star (Hennessy). Day Pass broke his maiden in his career debut, taking a maiden special weight at Belmont Park by 1 1/2 lengths on October 7. The gray juvenile now boasts $93,540 in lifetime earnings to go with his perfect two-for-two mark. Bred in Kentucky by Silver Oaks Farm, he is out of the stakes-winning Authorized Staff (Relaunch), who has also produced an unnamed yearling colt by Forest Camp. Day Pass sold for $725,000 to Darley at the Keeneland April Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale earlier this year.
