A $650,000 Keeneland September yearling, EDIFIED (c, 2, Tapit–For Royalty, by Not For Love) became his sire's newest 'TDN Rising Star' with an impressive stretch run to graduate on debut at Ellis Park Saturday. Given a mild 9-1 chance, the dark bay colt got caught up behind horses up the backstretch but found room to the outside of favored Normandy Hero (Omaha Beach) and came running with a head of steam past the quarter pole to take over the lead. Despite showing a bit of inexperience late, Edified hit the wire in full control with open lengths back to Liberal Arts (Arrogate) in second. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0.
