Godolphin homebred Coliseum (c, 2, Tapit-Game Face, by Menifee) couldn’t have been more impressive on debut at Del Mar Saturday, becoming a no-brainer ‘TDN Rising Star’ for Hall of Famer Bob Baffert.

Breaking well from his inside draw, the gray quickly established command through a :22.88 opening quarter. The 1-2 favorite began to let it out a notch entering the far turn, kicked for home in complete command and was never asked for run while striding away to a jaw-dropping win. It was 6 3/4 lengths back to stablemate Figure Eight (Power Broker) in second.

The final time for seven furlongs was 1:23.13.

The off-shore bookmaker Bovada had Coliseum listed at 20-1 in its latest winterbook wagering for the Kentucky Derby prior to his debut win as reported in Bill Finley’s Week in Review column earlier this week.

Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0.

O/B-Godolphin; T-Bob Baffert.
