Here Mi Song

Here Mi Song was beaten by 8 ½ lengths on more in each of his first three races but the lightbulb came on in his fourth start as he won a three-quarter-mile race by a neck Oct. 2, 2021, at Keeneland. Two starts later he closed out his 3-year-old season with a win on the synthetic surface at Turfway Park, where he led from start to finish for a three-quarter-length win.

The Cross Traffic gelding finished third then second in a pair of stakes races to start his 4-year-old season before a couple of close seconds in allowance company. He earned his first win of 2022 in his sixth start that year, closing from off the pace at Ellis Park Aug. 26 for a confidence-building 1 ¾-length win. He followed with a second-straight allowance win in September at Churchill, rallying again to win a thriller by a head.

He next posted a pair of seconds before closing out his 4-year-old campaign with a fourth-place finish in the Prairie Bayou Stakes Dec. 17 at Turfway.

Here Mi Song began 2023 with a pair of stakes starts at Turfway and finished second in the first of them in February in the Forego Stakes. Shipped to Keeneland Race Course for the spring meet, Here Mi Song earned a breakthrough stakes victory by outfinishing Hoist the Gold in deep stretch to prevail in the $300,000 Commonwealth Stakes, a Grade 3 race at seven furlongs.
