Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 25, 2018 Journalists Share Posted November 25, 2018 QAHIRA (f, 2, Cairo Prince–Motel Lass, by Bates Motel) became the 18th winner for her red-hot freshman sire (by Pioneerof the Nile) and 16th ‘TDN Rising Star’ unleashed by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert this year as she cruised to an easy eight-length debut victory at Del Mar Sunday evening. A $130,000 FTKOCT yearling purchase turned $375,000 OBS June 2-year-old after a bullet quarter-mile breeze in :20 2/5, the May 29 foal was off at 9-5 and ran to the money. Sitting perched just off the speed and out in the clear through splits of :22.65 and :46.25, she took over while well within herself and cruised in the lane to run up the score to about eight lengths in 1:10.59. Slewgoodtobetrue (Jimmy Creed), second in her unveiling at Santa Anita last month, was best of the rest. Qahira is the second ‘Rising Star’ for Cairo Prince in as many days–Mihos earned that distinction for an Aqueduct score Saturday. She is a half-sister to Stormin’ Lyon (Storm Boot), SW, $176,858; and stakes winner Quick Flip (Speightstown) and is the last registered produce of her dam. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. O-Baoma Corporation. B-Nekia Farm & Hunter Valley Farm (Ky). T-Bob Baffert. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
