Singwiththebirds endured a troubled trip from start to finish, but nevertheless delivered the goods as the 6-5 favorite with a determined one-length debut score, earning ‘TDN Rising Star' status. Away slowly from the gate, the bay moved up to secure position tracking the pace in fourth behind fractions of :24 flat and :47 3/5. Angled to the rail in search of running room turning for home, she was shut off and forced to look for a seam between horses--only to be steadied once more after that hole vanished. Singwiththebirds dove to the inside for a second time in midstretch and surged through to grab the win. Belle Soul (Perfect Soul {Ire}) finished second. The winner is a half to Up With the Birds (Stormy Atlantic), Horse of the Year & Ch. 3yo Male & GISW, $1,405, 909; and Speightsong (Speightstown), SW, $157,140. Her second dam is champion GISW Wilderness Song (Wild Again). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $32,655.
