Nothing Personal (c, 2, Violence–Will She, by Wando) became the 11th 'TDN Rising Star' for Violence after scorching seven furlongs in 1:19.90–just .04 off the track record–at Colonial Downs Saturday afternoon.
Off at odds of 4-1 shipping in from trainer Greg Compton's Delaware base, the $135,000 KEESEP yearling turned $270,000 EASMAY juvenile sat the trip in third behind a pair of dueling leaders through fractions of :22.15 and :44.44. He rolled up three deep at the top of the stretch and put on a show from there, winning with authority by 8 3/4 lengths while coming home in a razor sharp :11.20.
The stakes-winning Will She, owned and bred by the late Gustav Schickedanz, had a filly by City of Light this year and was bred back to Independence Hall.
