Constitution’s Mindframe Romps in ‘TDN Rising Star’ Debut

Repole Stable and St. Elias Stables' Mindframe (Constitution), sent off the even-money favorite in his debut, more than lived up to the hype, earning 'TDN Rising Star' status with a 13 3/4-length romping victory Saturday at Gulfstream Park. The dark bay colt was hustled from the gate and just off the leader in the early strides before settling back off the pace behind fractions of :21.92 and :44.44. When Irad Ortiz said go, he made eye-catching progress to grab the lead out of the turn and stormed home an unchallenged winner. Ortiz won three of the first five races on Saturday's Florida Derby card in Hallandale.

“We were anticipating a big debut,” said winning trainer Todd Pletcher. “I thought that was something special there. He trained outstanding coming into the race. He's been doing everything right. Everything has come very easily for him. I wasn't sure if he was fit enough until his last gate work. It surprised me. He hasn't had much of a body of work leading into it, so much of this is on natural talent.”

Mindframe, a $600,000 Keeneland September purchase, was one of 31 yearlings purchased at that 2022 auction by Mike Repole's Repole Stable and Vinnie Viola's St. Elias Stables.

Walk of Stars, a half-sister to multiple stakes-winner and multiple graded-placed Strike the Moon (Malibu Moon), has a 2-year-old colt by Maclean's Music. She was bred to Jack Christopher last year.

5th-Gulfstream, $74,340, Msw, 3-30, 3yo, 7f, 1:21.72, ft, 13 3/4 lengths.

IDONEO (Uncle Mo), the first foal out of SW and GII Mother Goose S. runner-up Classic Fit (Bernardini), has been working smartly for this debut run for Bill Mott.

The 'Boys in Blue' will also be represented by fellow debuting homebred Six Kings (Nyquist), who was produced by a half-sister to GISW Film Maker (Dynaformer). He is trained by Brendan Walsh. The deep field of 11 also includes the Todd Pletcher-trained first-time starter Mindframe (Constitution), a $600,000 KEESEP yearling purchase by Repole Stable and St. Elias Stables. TJCIS PPS
