Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 21, 2024 Journalists Posted July 21, 2024 With her afterburner at maximum capacity, it was Casalu (Caracaro–Key d'Oro, by Medaglia d'Oro) who torched a field of fillies en route to earning a newly-minted 'TDN Rising Star' at Del Mar's seaside oval on Sunday afternoon. Looking to make good on a bullet workout she posted at Santa Anita July 8 when she went four furlongs in :46.40 (1/54), the heavy favorite here blazed out of the gate and clearly established her lead up the backstretch. Casalu felt some hoofbeats around the far turn, but entering the lane her jets kicked in and she ended up winning by some six lengths over Oveta's Hobby (Army Mule). The final running time was :58.05. Out of 49 foals of racing age, this was the fourth worldwide winner and first 'TDN Rising Star' for freshman sire Caracaro (Uncle Mo). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. Sales History: $775,000 '24 OBSAPR. O-Michael E. Pegram, Karl Watson and Paul Weitman; B-LLP Performance Horses LLC; T-Bob Baffert. CASALU ($3.20) and @JJHernandezS19 made winning look easy in @DelMarRacing race 4. The 2-year-old by Caracaro (@CrestwoodKY) won on debut for trainer @BobBaffert.
