Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 12, 2018 Journalists Share Posted October 12, 2018 OXO Equine’s $575,000 OBS March purchase FORTIN HILL (c, 2, Mucho Macho Man–Dusty Rose, by Cherokee Run) justified his 6-5 favoritism with an impressive debut victory at Belmont Friday, becoming the newest ‘TDN Rising Star’. Breaking on top from the outside post in this six-horse affair, the bay was overtaken by the rail-drawn Starting Point (Paynter) and pressed from second through an opening quarter in :22.91. Drawing even with the pacesetter on the far turn, the Indiana-bred effortlessly sailed clear in the lane under a hand ride from Irad Ortiz, Jr. to win as he pleased by five lengths. He completed the six-panel test in a sharp 1:09.56. A $12,000 short yearling at Keeneland January, Fortin Hill sold for $170,000 at Keeneland September and summed $575,000 at OBS March after breezing in a swift :20 4/5. The winner hails from the family of two-time Canadian Horse of the Year and Eclipse winner Chief Bearhart (Chief’s Crown) and MGISW Private Zone (Macho Uno). O-OXO Equine LLC; B-Robert L.
