No ‘Rest’ for the Weary: Restless Rider Back As Golden Rod Favorite

Three Chimneys Farm and Fern Circle Stables’ Grade I-winning ‘TDN Rising Star’ Restless Rider (Distorted Humor), fresh off a runner-up finish in the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies, returns relatively quickly as the likely heavy favorite in Saturday’s GII Golden Rod S.

A first-out graduate under the Twin Spires June 8, the gray repeated with authority when romping by 11 1/4 lengths in the local Debutante S. June 30 to earn her ‘Rising Star’ badge. Second in the GI Spinaway S. Sept. 1 at Saratoga, she rebounded from her first defeat to annex the GI Darley Alcibiades S. Oct. 5 at Keeneland. No match for likely champion Jaywalk (Cross Traffic) Nov. 2, she figures tough to down while dropping in class here.

Chad Brown ships in Klaravich Stables’ Break Curfew (Into Mischief), a well-supported debut winner trying to stretch out her speed. Backed to 8-5 going six panels Oct. 24 at Belmont, the $220,00 Fasig-Tipton October pickup scored a convincing 3 3/4-length success. In a race without much early foot signed on, the bay will likely be gunned from her outside draw by Javier Castellano to make the early running.

Michael House’s Gold Credit (Goldencents) took a bunch of play first out as well, but rallied from off the pace to earn her diploma after a troubled beginning at 3-1 Oct. 18 at Keeneland. She shows three maintenance breezes in Lexington for this first route foray. Impact Thoroughbred and Madaket Stables’ Reflect (Trappe Shot) looks to bounce back from a distant ninth in the Breeders’ Cup. Prior to that, the chestnut completed the exacta at nearly 12-1 behind Restless Rider in the Alcibiades.
