BreezeFigs Quick-Pix Saturday, August 21, 2021 by Bob Fierro & Jay Kilgore

Well, that was over fast: One part of our stone cold exacta box Pick, War Smoke, was scratched and then the other half, Suit of Armor, was basically left at the gate. Everyone says bet him back, and the way he closed to finished fourth gets our vote as well. It was a productive week for BreezeFigs maidens all over the place. Nine of the 2-year-olds won at: Colonial (three on the same day), Delaware, Del Mar, Indiana, Saratoga (two) and Woodbine.
