Sent off as the 5-1 joint-second favorite for this maiden which appeared packed with highly promising colts, was unfazed by the widest stall and was professional from the break to race towards the fore early. Hooking up with the race-fit Leitir Mor (Ire) (<a href="https://coolmore.com/en/ireland/stallion/holy-roman-emperor/ " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Holy Roman Emperor</a> {Ire}) with a quarter mile remaining, the bay was...
Pink Damsel, a 600,000gns TATOCT yearling, was vanned two miles across town for this racecourse bow and such was her reputation that the G1 Epsom Oaks and G1 Irish Oaks entry went postward for this low-key examination as the 2-1 chalk. Left in rear after a sluggish break, she cruised by rivals to lead at...
<a href="https://wp.tdn.pmadv.com/stallions-top-runners/?sire=Dawn+Approach+%28Ire%29#tot " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Dawn Approach</a> was given the perfect introduction and provided his freshman sire (by Galileo {Ire}) with a winner at the first attempt when accounting for subsequent scorer Canary Row (Ire) (<a href="https://coolmore.com/en/ireland/stallion/holy-roman-emperor/ " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Holy Roman Emperor</a> {Ire} by 1 3/4 lengths at The Curragh Mar. 25. That education stood him good stead for this second go and...
Ridasiyna raced keenly in rear through the early fractions of this first go. Making rapid headway past rivals to assume command on the home turn, the 39-5 chance quickened clear inside the final 300 meters to score by an impressive five lengths from stablemate Touch of Silk (Fr) (Shamardal). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, €12,000.
A $15,000 FTKJUL yearling, Bourbon Courage blithely belied that modest sale price with a driving 4 1/4-length score on debut over course and distance Feb. 3. He earned a gaudy 103 Beyer Speed Figure for his exertions, and proved that head-turning unveiling was no fluke with another huge performance at 1-5. Farther back this time...
Holy Candy was always accompanied by some buzz, causing him to go off favored in all three of his previous efforts, but the grey had come up a bit short in each of those much-anticipated tries. Bested a half-length when subsequently graded stakes-placed Empire Way (Empire Maker) earned the J “TDN Rising Star”J distinction at...
Despite a long-winded pedigree, Cigar Street was sent off the 22-10 favorite for his six-furlong debut here Feb. 3, but very little went right that afternoon. Bumped at the break and last early, he was forced into a wide journey and never factored, finishing a distant fifth. Trainer Steve Margolis was able to squeeze three...
Gainesway homebred Small Kitchen, who romped by 5 3/4 lengths in her Feb. 2 six-furlong debut at Fair Grounds (TDN In Sharper Focus), made it two-for-two with an easy 7 1/4-length victory Sunday in New Orleans. The bay filly, sent off the 4-5 favorite, broke sharply and went right to the front end under the...
Flashy Dresser, who worked a bullet five furlongs at Palm Meadows Feb. 18 in :59 4/5, was sent off at 7-1 in his debut. The chestnut colt chased pacesetting Broome Street (Street Cry {Ire}), half of a 3-5 Darley entry, from the second tier through an opening quarter in :23.52. He made stoute progress leaving...
Paynter, produced by a full-sister to the great Tiznow, made a very favorable impression capturing this unveiling in the easiest manner possible. The handsome bay, a $325,000 KEESEP yearling, had been working forwardly for this, and when the field was whittled to four by scratches, bettors sent him off as the 3-5 choice. Settled a...
Mamma Kimbo, a $120,000 KEESEP yearling, gave trainer Bob Baffert the double for 3-year-old maiden specials at Santa Anita Saturday afternoon. From the same connections as GI Kentucky Oaks winner Plum Pretty (Medaglia d'Oro) and fellow “TDN Rising Star” Princess Arabella (Any Given Saturday), Mamma Kimbo was let go at generous odds of 6-1. Up...
Bodemeister, a $260,000 KEESEP yearling, showed promise in his first start when finishing second in a 5 1/2-furlong test at Santa Anita Jan. 16. He was drawn on the outside for this stretch-out to a mile, and was 2-1 in what appeared to be a competitive heat on paper. But it was all about Bodemeister....
