Remarqued

'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' Cy Fair (f, 3, Not This Time--Remarqued, by Arch) is a big fan of showing her best during the sport's biggest weeks.

Cy Fair's career debut at Saratoga in July was good enough to earn her a TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard, badge after she ran off to a 3 1/4-length victory in the 5 1/2-furlong test.
