Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 6, 2018 Journalists Share Posted October 6, 2018 ‘TDN Rising Star’ COMPLEXITY (c, 2, Maclean’s Music–Goldfield, by Yes It’s True) took the field from gate-to-wire to capture the GI Champagne S. at Belmont and stamp his ticket to next month’s GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Churchill Downs. He earned the ‘TDN Rising Star’ moniker for an impressive front-running graduation going six panels at the Spa Sept. 3 and was favored at 5-2 to repeat here. Jumping out to an early lead, the $375,000 KEESEP buy was well within himself as he ticked off opening splits of :22.51 and :45.31. Showing the way into the lane on a clear lead, the bay cruised home under a hand ride from Jose Ortiz to win in 1:34.63. Code of Honor (Noble Mission {GB}), who fell at the break and trailed the field early, ran huge, rallied five-wide for second. This was the second fastest time for the Champagne since it has been run at the mile with the fastest belonging to champion Uncle Mo. It was the third win on the card for winning trainer Chad Brown and rider Jose Ortiz. Brown and Klaravich Stables, in partnership with William Lawrence, are also responsible for second-crop sire Maclean’s Music’s other top-level scorer, GI Preakness S. upsetter Cloud Computing. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0. O-Klaravich Stables; B-Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings (KY); T-Chad Brown. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
