Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted 5 hours ago Journalists Share Posted 5 hours ago Hypnus (c, 3, Into Mischief–Dream Tree, by Uncle Mo) became the 48th 'TDN Rising Star' for his superstar sire with an impressive debut victory around two turns on the GIII Lecomte Stakes undercard in the slop at Fair Grounds Saturday. Overlooked at 16-1 for trainer Kenny McPeek, he broke sharply beneath Brian Hernandez, Jr., but was content to slot into sixth through fractions of :23.30 and :47.76. Traveling nicely but still with plenty to do approaching the quarter pole, he hit the gas at the top of the stretch and leveled off beautifully from there to win going away by three lengths over favored Cromwell (Quality Road). The winner's talented dam won her first five career starts, led by a win in the 2017 GI Starlet Stakes. She is also responsible for a 2-year-old filly by Gun Runner and she was bred to Constitution for 2025. O-Brookdale Racing, Inc.; B-Phoenix Thoroughbreds (III) LTD (KY); T-Kenneth G. McPeek.
