Rodeo Creek Racing's Blazing Sevens (<a href="http://www.hillndalefarms.com/good-magic/ " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Good Magic</a>), representing the same red-hot trainer in Chad Brown who conditioned his champion juvenile sire (by <a href="http://www.hillndalefarms.com/curlin/ " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Curlin</a>), garnered the 'TDN Rising Star' distinction in Saratoga's Sunday opener as he stalked and pulled away from a salty-looking bunch to become <a href="http://www.hillndalefarms.com/good-magic/ " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Good Magic</a>'s fifth individual winner. Off at odds of 9-2...

Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners and Todd Pletcher were represented by Saturday's romping GI Coaching Club American Oaks winner Nest (<a href="http://www.hillndalefarms.com/curlin/ " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Curlin</a>), and wasted little time unveiling their next generation of potential stakes runners as juvenile filly Kaling (<a href="https://coolmore.com/en/america/stallion/practical-joke/ " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Practical Joke</a>) turned in a promising and professional debut worthy of a 'TDN Rising Star' nod. Off at 3-1 with...

Charlie Appleby sent out Godolphin's subsequent GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf and G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains hero Modern Games (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) to garner last term's renewal of Newmarket's Discover Newmarket British EBF Maiden S. and the local operation has another likely sort to go forward after 750,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 graduate Highbank...

Juddmonte's hitherto unraced 2-year-old colt Nostrum (GB) (<a href="https://bit.ly/36fNhlT " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Kingman</a> {GB}-Mirror Lake (GB) (MSW & GSP-Eng, $113,061), by Dubai Destination) was let go at odds of 13-2 for Thursday's Martin Densham Memorial EBF Maiden S. at Sandown and came home with a 'TDN Rising Star' after producing a taking display in a contest won last year by...

Hotfooting it from Sandown where he had partnered the exciting Stoute colt Nostrum (GB) (<a href="https://bit.ly/36fNhlT " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Kingman</a> {GB}), Ryan Moore was in the unusual position of steering two TDN Rising Stars at two different tracks in the same day on Thursday as Ballydoyle's Tower Of London (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) planted the seeds of another Derby dream for...

Sent off the 11-8 favourite for Wednesday's Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden at Naas, Juddmonte's Apricot Twist (Ire) (Expert Eye {GB}) more than justified that SP to join the TDN Rising Star ranks. The first by her first-season sire (by Acclamation {GB}), the Ger Lyons-trained homebred tracked the pace far side under Colin Keane in...

Jaber Abullah's Alia's Rose (Fr) (Lope De Vega {Ire}-Quanzhou {Fr}, by Dubawi {Ire}) was let go as a 33-5 chance for Sunday's Prix de la Butte Blanche, a maiden for unraced fillies, at Chantilly and returned to the winner's circle with a 'TDN Rising Star' tag after producing a breathtaking display from off the pace...

Westerberg and Coolmore's 450,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 yearling Hans Andersen (GB) (<a href="https://bit.ly/2KNga16 " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Frankel</a> {GB}-Shadow Hunter {Ire}, by Arcano {Ire}) gained much benefit for his debut run, tackling an extended seven furlongs at Tipperary last month, and earned a 'TDN Rising Star' badge with a dominant display down to seven furlongs for Saturday's Juddmonte Farms Expert...

Rashit Shaykhutdinov's homebred 2-year-old filly Gain It (GB) (De Treville {GB}-Gagarina {Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}) registered a snug one-length tally tackling 6 1/2 furlongs at Saint-Cloud last month and returned to that debut scene of that triumph to claim 'TDN Rising Stardom' with a monster exhibition upped to seven furlongs for Saturday's Prix Amber Rama....

Led out unsold at 140,000gns when attending last year's Tattersalls October Book 1 fixture, Gestut Fahrhof's hitherto untried homebred 2-year-old filly Habana (Ger) (<a href="https://bit.ly/36fNhlT " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Kingman</a> {GB}-Hargeisa {GSW-Ity, MGSP-Fr & GSP-Ger}, by Speightstown) instead illuminated Cologne's Weidenpescher venue with a scintillating performance over 6 1/2 furlongs in Sunday's HSBS Catering Maiden Preis. Her year-older half-brother Huancayo (Ger)...

George Strawbridge's 2-year-old colt Epictetus (Ire) (<a href="https://bit.ly/36fNhlT " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Kingman</a> {GB}-Thistle Bird {GB}, by Selkirk) was the pick of a baker's dozen on breeding, but not so in the betting, for Friday's Weatherbys British EBF Maiden S. at Newmarket and made a mockery of 11-1 odds with a 'TDN Rising Star' display in a heat won last term...

Damon's Mound (<a href="https://www.airdriestud.com/horse/girvin/ " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Girvin</a>) made his 4-1 odds look like quite a gift in this unveiling, rolling home to a daylight victory and 'TDN Rising Star' honors Saturday at Churchill Downs. Off to a slow start, the Florida-bred advanced to be a three-wide fifth, keeping tabs on the front runners through a :21.85 opening quarter. Drawing...
