    • 10th-FG, 125K, O/C, 3yo, 6f, 6:15 p.m. Thursday marks the return of 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' ENGLISHMAN (Maxfield) for Cherie DeVaux and C R K Stable. It will be the Triple Crown-nominated colt's first start since a 7 1/4-length romp in his first and only race which came six months ago in September under the Twin Spires. That gate-to-wire win over seven furlongs was just a hair off the track record and resulted in a 97 Beyer Speed Figure. “The target race for him is the [GII] Pat Day Mile,” DeVaux said. “With that in mind, we wanted to get a race into him and then give him time. If he puts in another big effort off the layoff, coming back from the injury, this should set him up for the Pat Day Mile.” Englishman, who picks up Lasix for his 3-year-old debut, drew outside in a field of nine and was named the 4-5 morning-line favorite. Jose Ortiz, who was aboard for that stellar debut win, gets back on Thursday.
