Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 24, 2018 Journalists Share Posted November 24, 2018 MIHOS (c, 2, Cairo Prince–Feline Flatline, by Lion Heart) earned his diploma in impressive fashion at second asking to become the latest ‘TDN Rising Star’ at Aqueduct Saturday. He finished third on debut going six panels at Belmont Sept. 23, a race that was further flattered when winner Vekoma (Candy Ride {Arg}) returned to take the GII Nashua S. and runner-up Epic Dreamer (Orb) came back to earn his diploma in Elmont Oct. 26. Hammered down to 3-5 favoritism while receiving Lasix for this first time here, Mihos tracked from a two-wide fourth through an opening quarter in :22.59. Progressing up the outside, the $320,000 KEESEP buy stalled a bit on the backstretch, but ranged up five wide to tackle the leaders turning for home. Once pilot Rajiv Maragh got the bay to switch leads in the stretch, it was all over as Mihos stormed clear and was under wraps by the time he hit the wire in 1:11.20. Shadwell homebred Mutakaamil (Tapit) hopped at the start, spotting the field several lengths early, but rallied to finish second by a length. Lifetime Record: 3-1-0-1. O-Centennial Farms; B-Wayne & Gray & Bryan Lyster (KY); T-Jimmy Jerkens. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
