COLONIST (c, 3, Pioneerof the Nile–She Cat, by Bluegrass Cat), third to 'TDN Rising Star' American Pastime (Tapizar) when unveiled over six panels here Mar. 11, got off the mark by 3 3/4 lengths going a mile over this strip Apr. 2. Sent off at 2-1 in this first try facing winners, the Stonestreet Stables representative secured a position against the fence, as Who's Hot (Gemologist) showed the way through splits of :23.54 and :47.72. Juddmonte's favored Bronze Age (Mineshaft) took up the running at the three-eighths pole, but Colonist, shifted to the outside, was winding up under Corey Nakatani. Strolling by in upper stretch, Colonist held off the rallying Milton Freewater (Creative Cause) by a half-length at the wire. Bronze Age ran third. She Cat's latest foal is a yearling colt by Blame and the half-sister to GSW Palmeiro (Pleasant Tap) was bred back to that sire last spring. Sales history: $300,000 Wlg '14 KEENOV. Lifetime Record: 3-2-0-1, $72,480. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
