Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 12, 2018 Journalists Share Posted October 12, 2018 Claiborne Farm, Adele Dilschneider and Perry and Ramona Bass’s AMUSE (f, 3, Medaglia d’Oro-Witty {GSW, $162,600}, by Distorted Humor) proved dirt was more to her liking with a good-looking graduation in her main track-bow at Santa Anita Friday to be tabbed the second ‘TDN Rising Star’ of the day. Fourth in her 1 1/16-mile unveiling on the Del Mar lawn July 21, she fired several bullets in the lead up to this test, most recently breezing a best-of-25 three panels in :35 flat in Arcadia Oct. 8. Favored at 8-5 in this switch to the dirt and cut back in trip, the dark bay ran in a two-wide fifth through an opening quarter in a sharp :21.73. Making an eye-catching move up the outside to take control entering the far turn as the half went up in :45.22, Amuse easily extended clear in the stretch under a hand ride from Hall of Famer Mike Smith to win by four lengths in 1:10.43 and galloped out even further clear with ears pricked. Creative Contessa (Creative Cause) filled the place spot. The winner is a half-sister to Bombard (War Front), SW, $211,320. Her Grade III-winning dam Witty is a half to G1 Dubai World Cup and G1 Goodwood S. victor Well Armed (Tiznow); and the dam of Grade I winner American Patriot (War Front).
