TDN Rising Star

Spicy, indeed! Shisospicy (f, 2, Mitole--Mischief Galore, by Into Mischef) left them all in her wake on debut in Florida, and earned the seal of approval from the TDN as well, becoming her sire's fourth 'TDN Rising Star' Friday afternoon. Sent away at 5-2 odds here, she set the pace from a ground-saving trip on the rail, putting up :22.82, and :45.97 early splits. Widening under minimal urging from Paco Lopez, she had built up a six-length margin entering the stretch, and from there it was a question of how...

Unbeaten 'TDN Rising Star' Knightsbridge (Nyquist) will square off with GI Woody Stephens Stakes winner Book'em Danno (Bucchero) in a deep renewal of the GIII Perryville Stakes going seven furlongs at Keeneland Saturday. 'TDN Rising Star' Locked (Gun Runner), last seen finishing third as the favorite in the 2023 GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita, is expected to scratch and instead make his sophomore debut in the lidlifter at the Big A Saturday. Godolphin homebred Knightsbridge posted a double-digit victory going seven furlongs on debut at Churchill Downs Nov....

Ramatuelle (Justify--Raven's Lady {GB}, by Raven's Pass), a 'TDN Rising Star' and recent winner of the G1 Prix de la Foret Stakes at ParisLongchamp, headlines the latest group of supplemental entries to Fasig-Tipton's November Sale which will take place on Monday, Nov. 4 beginning at 2 p.m. ET in Lexington, Kentucky, the auction company said in a release early Friday morning.

by Stefanie Grimm and Jill Williams Godolphin homebred Poster (Munnings) stepped from maiden winner to allowance winner in a 'TDN Rising Star'-worthy performance Saturday to close out the card at Keeneland. Debuted going one mile on the grass at Ellis Park Aug. 19, he cruised home in gate-to-wire fashion by 1 3/4 lengths as the 5-1 fourth choice. Kept to that distance Saturday but bet down to 9-5, the Eoin Harty trainee was shuffled back by speedier rivals to his outside and wound up fourth along the rail as Enterdadragon...

6th-Keeneland, $130,000, Alw (NW3$X)/Opt. Clm ($100,000), 10-12, 3yo/up, 6 1/2f, 1:16.16, ft, 1 3/4 lengths. GIANT MISCHIEF (c, 4, Into Mischief--Vertical Oak {MGSW, $773,095}, by Giant Oak), a returning 'TDN Rising Star' made his first start Saturday since coming third in the GI Malibu Stakes to end the year Dec. 26. Off the board only once in seven prior starts, the Brad Cox runner rebounded here off nearly the year-long layoff as the 4-5 favorite by jumping straight to the front under Tyler Gaffalione. Chased throughout by a determined but...

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. -- The 'Grizzly' is gearing up for the GI Breeders' Cup Distaff. Amid a backdrop of some spectacular fall foliage, 'TDN Rising Star' Thorpedo Anna (Fast Anna) posted her second workout since capturing the GI Cotillion Stakes in dramatic fashion at Parx Sept. 21, breezing five furlongs in 1:02.63 (1/2) after the break over a sun-splashed Oklahoma Training Track on a delightful Saturday morning in Saratoga Springs. Raring to go beneath regular exercise rider Danny Ramsey, the GI Kentucky Oaks heroine and painful GI Travers Stakes runner-up...

Paying further tribute to his much-missed dam Tepin (Bernstein), Ballydoyle's TDN Rising Star Delacroix (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) showed he had inherited her battling qualities as well as her class to capture the G3 Emirates Autumn Stakes at Newmarket. Runner-up over this mile trip in Leopardstown's G2 Champions Juvenile Stakes last month, the 15-8 favourite travelled with greater zest than on his previous three starts tracking the pace before being committed by Ryan Moore two out. Challenged by the Ralph Beckett-trained Stanhope Gardens (Ire) (Ghaiyyath {Ire}) from there, the market-leader was...

7th-KEE, 100K, Msw, 2yo, f, 6f, 4:12 p.m. A pair of fillies by Into Mischief break side by side Saturday on debut led by the $1.2m KEESEP purchase PRINCESS ALIYAH for BC Stables, LLC, Morplay Racing LLC and Joey Platts. Sire power aside, the filly is a half to both GISW Eskimo Kisses (To Honor and Serve) and GISP Silver Ride (Candy Ride {Arg}), all out of Silver Colors who is a daughter GI Kentucky Derby winner and champion 3-year-old filly Winning Colors. D. Wayne Lukas, who notably trained Winning...

Taking another step forward from her G2 May Hill Stakes success, Godolphin's Desert Flower (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}--Promising Run, by Hard Spun) emphatically established herself at the head of the pecking order among the stronger-staying juvenile fillies of 2024 in Friday's G1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket. Having mastered Ballydoyle's January (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) by 1 1/2 lengths at Doncaster last month, the Charlie Appleby-trained TDN Rising Star made it 5 1/2 this time as she opened up with the rising ground to the line bringing out her superior stamina....

Godolphin contributed to a succession of fireworks at Newmarket's Park Paddocks sales venue during the earlier part of the week and, with action firmly centred on the nearby Rowley Mile racetrack, continued in similar vein as the operation's 2-year-old filly Verse Of Love (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}--Vercelli {GB}, by Shamardal) powered to a 'TDN Rising Star' rosette in Friday's Godolphin Under Starters Orders Maiden Fillies' Stakes. She becomes the 14th Rising Star for her sire, whose roll of honour includes this month's G1 Prix Marcel Boussac runner-up Zarigana (Ire). The March-foaled...

9th-Keeneland, $120,000, Alw (NW2X)/Opt. Clm ($125,000), 10-10, 3yo, 6f, 1:10.30, ft, neck. WORLD RECORD (c, 3, Gun Runner--Marwa {GB}, by Exceed And Excel {Aus}) broke his maiden at second asking at Churchill Downs May 27, which earned him a 'TDN Rising Star' badge. The bay finished third over the same surface in the Maxfield Stakes June 30, but rebounded with a signature score in the GII Amsterdam Stakes at the Spa July 26. Well-beaten in the GI H. Allen Jerkens Memorial Stakes upstate a month later, the colt was well-backed...

Unbeaten 3-year-old 'TDN Rising Star' Nysos (Nyquist), sidelined since winning the GIII Robert B. Lewis Stakes in February at Santa Anita, and the royally bred 2-year-old 'TDN Rising Star' Eagles Flight (Curlin), each returned to the worktab Thursday at Santa Anita. Also working towards a comeback in Arcadia was last year's GI Del Mar Debutante Stakes winner 'TDN Rising Star' Tamara (Bolt d'Oro). Nysos, trained by Bob Baffert, worked four furlongs with company in :47.60 (6/23). "He went nice," Baffert told Daily Racing Form. "I was happy with him." Work...
