'TDN Rising Star' Daddy Is a Legend (Scat Daddy), a convincing winner of Saturday's GIII Jimmy Durante S., emerged from her victory no worse for the wear and will likely target another stakes event during Santa Anita's winter meet, owner Jim Hill said Sunday morning. The filly closed strongly to notch a one-length victory in the Durante, anchoring a 1-2-3 finish for East Coast invaders.
“She lost a front right shoe somewhere in the race,” Hill said. “We hope there will be something for her at Santa Anita, but they haven't released their full stakes schedule yet.”
Trained by George Weaver, the juvenile filly parlayed a runner-up finish behind fellow 'TDN Rising Star' and subsequent GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies winner Rushing Fall (More Than Ready) at Belmont into a commanding maiden victory at Keeneland Oct. 27. She shipped to Del Mar to notch her first graded stakes success Saturday.
