On Time Girl (f, 2, Not This Time) became the 12th 'TDN Rising Star' for her leading young Taylor Made sire-his eighth this year-at Churchill Downs Thursday evening.
Off as the 2-1 second choice following a 2 1/2-length debut victory for Brad Cox at Ellis Park Aug. 3, the Albaugh Family homebred raced in between rivals in the early stages and made a flashy move into second heading into the far turn. She turned up the heat on the leader at the top of the stretch and leveled off with powerful strides to win impressively by four lengths. Longshot Boom Boom Bell (Combatant) was second.
Heavily favored 'Rising Star' Tennessee Belle (Yaupon), a runaway maiden winner at Saratoga at second asking Aug. 16, never fired and finished eighth.
On Time Girl is a daughter of GIII Pocahontas S. winner and GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies third-place finisher Girl Daddy (Uncle Mo), a $500,000 KEESEP yearling purchase by Dennis Albaugh's operation. After producing a full-sister to On Time Girl this year, Girl Daddy was bred back to Flightline. On Time Girl is bred on the same Not This Time x Indian Charlie cross as GISW Sacred Wish.
The Albaugh Family also owned and bred Not This Time, who concluded his career with a painful second in the 2016 GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile.
