Analyze It has asserted himself as a leader in the 3-year-old male turf division with a 5 1/4-length win in the Grade 3 Transylvania Stakes at Keeneland, and he strengthened the résumés of his young sire and dam. Owned by William H. Lawrence, Analyze It is the standout runner from the first crop of Grade 1 winner Point of Entry, a 10-year-old son of Dynaformer who stands at Adena Springs in Paris, Ky., for $20,000. He became his sire’s first graded stakes winner last year when he took the Grade 3 Cecil B. Demille Stakes at Del Mar, and he made his sire one of just three in last year’s freshman class with a runner that charted a Beyer Speed Figure of 90 or higher. Analyze It is also the first foal out of the winning Consolidator mare Sweet Assay, from the family of Grade 1 winner Came Home and Grade 2 winner A. P. Assay. The mare was purchased as a broodmare prospect by Headley Bell’s Nicoma Bloodstock for $14,000 at the 2014 Keeneland January horses of all ages sale, and put in Point of Entry’s first book of mares. :: Get breeding & sales news, Beyer info, and more delivered right to your email! “I loved his pedigree blend, and he was an outstanding racehorse,” Bell said about Point of Entry. “I spoke to [trainer Shug McGaughey] about how talented he was, and he said he’s as good as anything he’d ever trained, and that’s good enough for me.” Analyze It was bred by Bell, his wife Nancy, and the curiously named NATO. Bell explained that the third partner on the breeder line was not the international alliance, but the investment arm of Nicoma Bloodstock. The late Bill O’Neill of Bwamazon Farm was an initial partner in Nicoma bloodstock, which was named after a mare belonging to Bell’s mother, Alice Chandler. Wanting to keep with the theme of naming their businesses after broodmares, Bell and O’Neill decided to name their investment venture after O’Neill’s mare Nato II, a British-bred stakes-winning daughter of Court Martial who produced multiple stakes winner Royal Bund. Nato II is in the female family of Grade 1 winners Quack, Bundler, Sam’s Sister, Sweet Talker, Include Me Out, and Check the Label.
