I note after acceptances the Rich Hill has an 89 rated top weight. How on earth does that race hold Group 2 status? The Timaru Cup a 96 topweight and three rated in the 90s. Even the Kurow Cup has a rating 100 top weight that has won $2.5m. -

A shortage of pace in the Robert J. Frankel Stakes (G3T) essentially turned the $100,000, 1 1/8-mile turf race Dec. 27 at Santa Anita Park into a three-furlong test of late-quickening ability, and Mrs. Astor passed with high marks.View the full article -

Cooey (Girvin) was all the rage from a pari-mutel perspective in Friday's eighth race from Santa Anita, but the more lightly regarded first-time starter Our Moonlight (f, 2, Tapit–Mannerly, by Unbridled's Song) confronted the odds-on choice a sixteenth of a mile from the wire and rolled home to an impressive 2 3/4-length victory to become yet another 'TDN Rising Star' for her all-conquering sire. Off at 8-1 from a 6-1 morning line with Cooey taking the lion's share of the action at 4-5, Our Moonlight–a $325,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase–was one of the first to break the line, but Juan Hernandez was dead-set on making the front with Cooey from her inside alley and the pair headed off their rivals a furlong into the proceedings. Between horses for the run around the turn, Our Moonlight didn't appear entirely comfortable and came off the bridle, leaving herself in a vulnerable position if she was to reel in the front-runner. Surf Song (Maclean's Music) also loomed a threat at midstretch, but by this time, Tiago Pereira had Our Moonlight in full flight and she collared Cooey with about 100 yards to race en route to a visually impressive victory. Our Moonlight is the second high-profile winner for her dam in the last several days, as her the mare's 3-year-old gelded son Upstanding (Curlin) broke his maiden by an imposing nine-length margin going the one-turn mile configuration at Gulfstream Park Dec. 22. Stonestreet purchased Our Moonlight's dam for $360,000 at the 2015 Keeneland September Sale and raced her to four victories and a third-place effort in the GIII Locust Grove Stakes while banking in excess of $175,000. The 54th 'Rising Star' for Tapit, Our Moonlight is bred on the exact same cross as champion and fellow 'Rising Star' Unique Bella and on a similar cross to 'Rising Star' Scylla, whose broodmare sire First Defence is a son of Unbridled's Song. Second dam Mary Elise is a full-sister to MSW and GISP Spring Awakening, herself the dam of Tapit's Grade III winner Walk Close. Mannerly is also represented by a yearling Twirling Candy filly who fetched $42,000 at this year's September Sale and the mare was not bred last season. 8th-Santa Anita, $60,500, Msw, 12-27, 2yo, f, 6f, 1:10.45, ft, 2 3/4 lengths.

Take Charge Tom (Tom's d'Etat) rolled by 9 1/4 lengths in his unveiling in a $30,000 maiden claimer over course and near distance Dec. 4 and jumped into stakes company Friday. The 4-5 favorite had plenty of company up front, dueling with Roman Gratis (Stanford) and Manzoni (Lotsa Mischief) early and having to put away a determined Candy Caballo around the far turn. Narrowly ahead of that rival into the stretch, he just edged away in the late stages to win ahead of a closing Don't Fly Stand By (Upstart). The first stakes winner for his freshman sire (by Smart Strike), Take Charge Tom has a yearling half-brother by Candy Ride (Arg) and a weanling half-sister by Twirling Candy. Gorgeous Ginny is due back to Army Mule for 2025. Click for the Equibase.com chart.
