Set for a debut at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club on Sunday afternoon, Julias Dream (Flameaway) gave her freshman sire something to cheer about as she came home a newly-minted 'TDN Rising Star'.

Taking to the grass, the chestnut filly at 6-1 odds shot to the lead up the backstretch and held sway around the far turn. Into the stretch, Julias Dream went on comfortably to win by 5 1/2 lengths and stop the clock at :56.97 over fellow first timer Avoir (More Than Ready).

The winner's dam is a full-sister to GISP Abby Girl (Meadowlake). She also produced a yearling colt by Air Force Blue and she was bred to Blueblood for next year. This is Flameaway's eighth winner and his first 'Rising Star'.
