Munnings Rising Star Wins Untouched at Laurel

7th-Laurel, $50,442, Alw (NW1X), Opt. Clm ($62,500), 10-23, 2yo, 6f, 1:08.75, ft, 4 lengths.
JAXON TRAVELER (c, 2, Munnings–Listen Boy {SP}, by After Market) was off at 2-5 to remain unblemished in his brief career and made light work of a first-level allowance Friday at Laurel, winning as he pleased by four lengths. Having graduated by 10 lengths at first asking Sept. 25, the $80,000 KEESEP yearling turned $140,000 OBS Spring breezer flew the gates and was soon in front, skipping along easily through an opening quarter in :22.19 (60-foot run-up). He sprinted farther clear approaching the stretch after a half in a strong :44.65, widened into the final eighth of a mile and stopped the clock in slick time. Jaxon Traveler was entered for and would have been favored in Saturday’s Maryland Million Nursery S., but drew two-deep on the also-eligible list. Listen Boy is the dam of a yearling filly by Street Boss and most recently visited Cross Traffic. Sales history: $80,000 Ylg ’19 KEESEP; $140,000 2yo ’20 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0, $60,762.

Munnings Colt Romps to ‘TDN Rising Star’ Performance at Pimlico

Jaxon Traveler (c, 2, Munnings–Listen Boy, After Market) shot out to the front and left them all in the dust, romping to a ‘TDN Rising Star’ performance on debut at Pimlico Friday.

The even-money favorite, a $140,000 purchase by West Point Thoroughbreds and Marvin Delfiner after breezing in :10 flat at the postponed OBS April Sale, was working bullets at Steve Asmussen’s Belmont base, including a five-furlong move from the gate in :59 3/5 (1/18) Sept. 13.

The dark bay raced under pressure early, but appeared to be doing it rather easily through an opening quarter in :23.78. He began to let it out a notch approaching the quarter pole and was hand-ridden down the lane to an eye-catching 10-length victory. Lugamo (Chitu) was second.

The winner’s stakes-placed dam, also represented by a Street Boss filly of 2019, was bred to Cross Traffic for 2021. The half-sister to SW Monzon (Thunder Gulch) was purchased by Three Pines Farm for $26,000 in foal to Street Boss at the 2015 KEENOV Sale.
