JULIAS DREAM (f, 2, Flameaway–Cinnamon Girl, by Meadowlake) earned the title 'TDN Rising Star' at first asking Aug. 6 by the seaside oval when she won pillar to post by 5 1/2 lengths for her top five first-crop sire while sprinting over the turf. Switching to the main track in the GI Del Mar Debutante, she was a well-beaten eighth to fellow 'TDN Rising Star' Tamara (Bolt d'Oro). Back on the grass as the 3-5 choice here, the chestnut filly was challenged to the inside by Thermal (Nyquist), who is part-owned by Talla Racing. On even terms until the top of the lane, Julias Dream found another gear, put away her opponent and won by a neck over the surging Cheeky Gal (Maximus Mischief). The winner's dam, a full-sister to GISP Abby Girl (Meadowlake), produced a yearling colt by Air Force Blue, foaled a colt by Brody's Cause Apr. 10 and was bred to Blueblood for next year.
