Maclean’s Music’s Top of the Charts Lives Up to His Name With Rising Star Win

Top of the Charts (Maclean's Music) proved his impressive debut was no fluke with another good-looking score against winners at Churchill Downs Saturday. He wired a six-panel maiden special weight at this oval in his May 28 career bow, graduating by 2 3/4 lengths and earning an 87 Beyer Speed Figure. Gelded after that debut, the bay was the slight second choice at 9-5 ($1.90) behind another son of Maclean's Music named Favorite Outlaw ($1.80), who earned a whopping 95 Beyer Speed Figure for his second-out graduation at Oaklawn in January (click here for story).

The top two choices hustled right to the front and, when Favorite Outlaw insisted on leading the way, Top of the Charts settled right on his heels through a :22.87 opening quarter. The gelding turned up the heat on the pacesetter through a :45.96 half-mile and the two turned for home on even terms. Top of the Charts kicked it into high gear at the top of the lane, bounding clear for a four-length score.

Top of the Charts is the third 'TDN Rising Star' for his sire Maclean's Music. The winner's dam Tiz Ro is a half to two-time Grade I winner Jambalaya (Langfuhr) and SW Riley Ripasso (Johannesburg). The 12-year-old mare is also responsible for the juvenile colt Canboulay (Honor Code) and a yearling filly named Destiny Ro (Lookin At Lucky).

Overanalyze’s Two of a Kind Holds ‘Em All in Tremont

   Two of a Kind remained unbeaten in two starts with a game front-running score in the Tremont S. Thursday at Belmont.

Unveiled at over 7-1 May 4 at Churchill, the Brian Lynch trainee popped out to the front from the rail and widened in the lane for a 3 3/4-length score. Made a narrow 2-1 favorite Thursday, the bay wasn't quite swiftest out of the gate, but overtook longshot Putthepastbehind in the opening furlong. Clicking off a :22.40 quarter while lightly pressed by Zelenskyy Strong (Uncaptured) on the turn, he discarded that rival nearing the lane, but faced a fresh challenge from No Nay Hudson (Ire) (No Nay Never). Two of a Kind continued to find down the stretch though, turning back that rival and a resurgent Putthepastbehind.

   “He's always been a precocious sort of colt. He's physically very mature and mentally he's mature,” said trainer Brian Lynch. “We can't be anything but happy with these last couple performances, the one at Churchill and the one today.”

Maclean’s Music Colt Impresses In Churchill Debut

3rd-Churchill Downs, $118,675, Msw, 5-28, 3yo/up, 6f, 1:09.04, ft, 2 3/4 lengths.
TOP OF THE CHARTS (c, 3, Maclean's Music–Tiz Ro, by Hard Spun), bet down to 7.60-1 from a morning line of 12-1 found his way to the front in the early stages and widened through the final furlong to post an impressive 2 3/4-length debut success Saturday at Churchill Downs. The lone firster in a field of eight, the dark bay bounced well from the two hole and gradually–and with relative ease–worked his way to the front, covering the opening two furlongs in a smart :21.98. Ridden quietly on the turn by Declan Cannon, Top of the Charts was asked to kick in upper stretch, pinched an unassailable advantage into the final furlong and finished full of run to score by daylight in slick time. The victory was Cannon's first since last Sept. 13, when he suffered serious injuries in a spill. Top of the Charts is out of a winning daughter of Muskrat Suzie (Vice Regent), the dam of Canadian Classic and GI Arlington Million hero Jambalaya, whose sire Langfuhr was also a son of Danzig. Tiz Ro, also a half-sister to SW Riley Ripasso (Johannesburg), is the dam of the juvenile colt Canboulay (Honor Code) and a yearling filly by Lookin At Lucky named Destiny Ro.

Report: Classic Causeway Transferred To McPeek

Classic Causeway (Giant's Causeway), winner of this year's GIII Sam F. Davis S. and GII Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby, has been transferred from trainer Brian Lynch to Ken McPeek, Daily Racing Form reports.

One of just three members from his sire's final crop, the chestnut was a splashy Saratoga debut winner last September before finishing third to Rattle N Roll (Connect) in the GI Claiborne Breeders' Futurity and to 'TDN Rising Star' Smile Happy (Runhappy) in the GII Kentucky Jockey Club S. Both winners are trained by McPeek.

A disappointing 11th as a 7-2 chance in the GI Curlin Florida Derby following his exploits on Florida's Gulf Coast, Classic Causeway was expected to bypass the GI Kentucky Derby, but Lynch deferred to the colts owners. The typically speedy Classic Causeway raced nowhere near the pace in the Derby and finished an even 11th.

“You're always sorry to see a horse of his caliber leave the barn,” Lynch told the Form. “I wish him and the connections nothing but the best.”
