Bill Lawrence’s Analyze It (Point of Entry) became the first “TDN Rising Starâ€Â and seventh winner for his freshman sire (by Dynaformer) with an impressive debut graduation at Belmont Saturday afternoon. Let go at 13-1 despite his trainer’s prowess with first timers and turf horses, the bay broke on top and traded blows with Blockade (War Front) through an opening quarter in :23.41. That rival was rated back a bit and longshot Fast Boat (City Zip) took up the fight, pressing Analyze It through a half in :47.44. Analyze It regained command at the top of the lane and rocketed clear to a dominant 6 1/4-length victory. Blockade held second.
A $130,000 KEESEP yearling buy, Analyze It was purchased for $190,000 post sale at OBS March after breezing in :10 flat. The winner is the first foal out of Sweet Assay (Consolidator), who hails from the family of MGISW Came Home (Gone West). The 8-year-old mare’s 2016 colt by Point of Entry passed away and she failed to get in foal for 2017. She was most recently bred back to Point of Entry.
