West Point Thoroughbreds and Jimmy Kahig's Ready A.P. (More Than Ready) stormed to a dazzling 8 1/4-length debut win at Belmont Park Thursday to become the latest 'TDN Rising Star.' The dark bay filly, sent off the 3-5 favorite, was away slowly and trailed the field in the early going. She rushed up into contention entering the far turn and inhaled the leader nearing the stretch before striding home powerfully without ever being asked. One Track Mine (Mineshaft) was second.
Ready A.P. was a $125,000 purchase at last year's Fasig-Tipton Selected Yearlings Showcase. Her second dam is multiple graded stakes winner Carmandia (Wild Rush). She has a yearling half-sister by Kantharos and a foal half-brother by Sharp Azteca.
