PRETTY LIAM (f, 3, Liam's Map–Sylphide, by Blame) debuted as the 7-2 second choice with first time Lasix here.

Godolphin’s Nash Powers to TDN Rising Stardom at Churchill

While there may have been a few unanswered questions heading into Sunday's seventh race at Churchill Downs, there seemed to be none afterward. Installed the second betting choice behind the 7-5 choice, GISP Be You (Curlin), Nash (Medaglia d'Oro) completely dismantled his competition with seemingly little effort, cruising home an eye-catching 10 1/4-length winner while stamping himself a TDN Rising Star in the process.

Sent screaming to the front in the blink of an eye, the 9-5 chance cut out an opening quarter in :23.83 and a half in :47.93. Still moving powerfully through the quarter pole, the Godolphin homebred was cut loose in the stretch, and flew down the lane in complete command, winning by a gaudy margin while well in hand under Florent Geroux. Longshot Justifreak (Justify) was second, while Resilience (Into Mischief) rounded out the trifecta. The favorite came home fifth.

Sent off the 8-5 choice in his career debut at Keeneland Oct. 7, Nash came home fifth behind 5-1 chance Booth (Mitole) in the six-furlong event. He had been working steadily over this surface, including a pair of :49 flat moves Oct. 28 (40/95) and Nov. 4 (41/96).

Out of three-time graded winner Sara Louise, the winner is a half to Sara Street (Street Sense), GSP, $216,100. Sara Louise is also responsible for Mrs. Hudson (Street Cry {Ire}), dam of SW Airosa (Uncle Mo) and Coronation Street (Street Cry), dam of GSW Kalik (Collected). Subsequent to Sunday's Rising Star, the mare produced a colt by Street Sense in 2022 and was bred back to Nyquist this season.

Pletcher Filly Romps In Off-The-Turf Maiden At Saratoga

When Todd Pletcher entered Miz Sense (Street Sense) in Sunday's first race at Saratoga, a maiden special weight race carded for a mile-and-a-sixteenth on the turf, he wasn't so much thinking grass. He wanted to run the Kentucky-bred in a route race, which they don't card during the Saratoga meet for 2-year-olds on the dirt. So when the race was washed off the turf course, Pletcher never hesitated to go ahead and run her in a race in which there were six scratches. It proved to be the right move.

Ridden by Jose Ortiz, Miz Sense sat fifth early before finding a open path on the inside near the top of the stretch. From there, she drew off from her five rivals to win by a comfortable 4 1/4 lengths. The race was run at one mile out of the Wilson Chute.

“She is a typical Street Sense filly, so we thought she wanted to run long,” Pletcher said. “We entered her to run on the grass but she wound up on the also-eligible list. We got lucky. With the rain the race came off the turf and were able to run her long first time out. I think this is the first year they've run the mile out of the chute for two-year-olds. I'm glad they did it because it worked out for this filly. This win gives us some options.”

Pletcher also sent out first-time starter Life's An Audible (Audible). The pair were sent off as the 6-5 betting favorite. Life's an Audible flashed early speed but faded late and finished fourth. She was beaten 21 1/4 lengths.

Miz Sense is co-owned by Repole Stable and St. Elias Stable and was a $500,000 Keeneland September purchase. She was bred by Stonehaven Steadings.
