Sharing

Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners and Gainesway Stable's Sharing (Speightstown) seemed a bit more suited to the grass on paper given that her dam upended the 2010 GI Breeders' Cup F/M Turf and considering her fast-finishing debut second came sprinting on the infield here July 21, but the chestnut had no trouble handling the Saratoga main track...

Ridenza (Ire)

One of two newcomers for His Highness the Aga Khan in Thursday's Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden at Leopardstown, the well-backed Ridenza (Ire) (<a href="https://www.agakhanstuds.com/seathestars " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Sea The Stars</a> {Ire}) emerged comfortably on top of Tasalka (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) to provide a one-two for her owner-breeder and gain TDN Rising Starstatus. Supported into 9-4 second...

Gozilla

Gozilla (Flatter), backed down to 3-5 favoritism off of plenty of hype, skipped clear down the lane to score a front- running debut victory and earn the 'TDN Rising Star' tag in Saturday's seventh race at Saratoga. The chestnut colt hopped slightly at the break, but recovered quickly to take the lead and cut out fractions of :22.46...

Eight Rings

The powerful ownership group involved with juvenile colt Eight Rings (Empire Maker) celebrated their first win as a team Sunday as the buzzed-about Bob Baffert trainee blitzed Del Mar maiden company to become a no-brainer 'TDN Rising Star'. A $520,000 Keeneland September yearling, the dark bay prepped for this with a bullet five-furlong drill from...

En Wye Cee

Newcomer En Wye Cee (Declaration of War) had been keeping good company in the mornings, and belied 10-1 odds Saturday afternoon at the Spa to best a strong-looking group of maidens while garnering the 'TDN Rising Star' distinction. The bay sported an upbeat tab that included a 1:01 flat breeze in company over the Oklahoma training track...

Risky Mischief

Risky Mischief (Into Mischief) lost an opportunity when her would-be debut was one of the casualties of torrential rains that forced the cancellation of racing at Saratoga following race four July 25. But the $350,000 Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred Sale graduate made a booming impression in the rescheduled event Wednesday afternoon at the Spa, validating 3-4...

Immediate Impact

Immediate Impact, a half-sister to Champion 3-year-old colt Arrogate (Unbridled's Song), lived up to her 2-5 billing, becoming a TDN Rising Star with an emphatic score at Del Mar Sunday afternoon. In front soon after the start, she allowed an eager Majestic Gigi (Artie Schiller) to overtake her momentarily as the leader carved out an initial quarter...

Shoplifted

The Niarchos Family's homebred Free Solo (Ire) (Showcasing {GB}) was a staying-on third over seven furlongs at Naas in his only prior start July 6 and powered to TDN Rising Stardom upped to one mile in the Frank Conroy Irish EBF Maiden-a race which includes <a href="https://coolmore.com/en/ireland/stallion/camelot/ " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Camelot</a> (GB) (Montjeu {Ire}) on the honour roll-at Leopardstown on...

Dennis' Moment

Dennis' Moment (Tiznow) went wire-to-wire in impressive fashion at Ellis Park Saturday afternoon to become a TDN Rising Starfor trainer Dale Romans and the Albaugh Family Stables. The well-regarded Dennis' Moment was given ample support at 5-2 in his career debut going five furlongs at Churchill Downs June 23, but he clipped heels, unseating rider...

Free Solo (Ire)

The Niarchos Family's homebred Free Solo (Ire) (Showcasing {GB}) was a staying-on third over seven furlongs at Naas in his only prior start July 6 and powered to TDN Rising Stardom upped to one mile in the Frank Conroy Irish EBF Maiden-a race which includes <a href="https://coolmore.com/en/ireland/stallion/camelot/ " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Camelot</a> (GB) (Montjeu {Ire}) on the honour roll-at Leopardstown on...

Pure Xena

Pure Xena (f, 2, Warrior’s Reward-Pure Desire, by Gold Legend) turned heads when hammering for $370,000—over 82 times her sire’s $4,500 stud fee—at OBS April, and did so again with a devastating first-out romp Saturday at Del Mar. Originally a $7,500 weanling purchase at Keeneland November, the bay turned into a $160,000 Fasig-Tipton July yearling and...

Meru

With a decidedly unassuming worktab at nearby Colts Neck Stables showing, newcomer Meru (Sky Mesa) didn’t take a ton of money to be off at 9-2 in his Monmouth unveiling Saturday, but the youngster put on a very impressive afternoon display to garner the ‘TDN Rising Star’ distinction. Not off particularly sharply, the bay tugged his way up to...
