‘TDN Rising Star’ Loggins Represented By First Foal

[Wandering Eyes]

The first foal by the Grade I-placed 'TDN Rising Star' Loggins (Ghostzapper–Beyond Blame, by Blame), a colt, was born Jan. 23, 2025, at Endeavor Farm in Midway, Kentucky.

The bay is the fourth produce from his dam, Coal Creek Farm's 12-year-old My Heart Goes On (Albertus Maximus), a two-time stakes winner of better than $132,000. Third dam One for You (Dayjur) produced a pair of black-type winners, including the filly Una Palabra to the cover of Ghostzapper's 'Rising Star' son McCraken, and was herself a half-sister to two full stakes winners.

“He's a really nice and handsome colt with a great frame and build to him,” said Endeavor Farm's Laura Haag.

Bred in Kentucky by Popatop LLC, Loggins fetched $460,000 as a Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling in the summer of 2021 and blew the doors off his rivals on Churchill debut in September 2022, graduating by 8 1/2 lengths while covering the 6 1/2 furlongs in a smart 1:15.87, good for a 90 Beyer Speed Figure. Favored in the GI Claiborne Breeders' Futurity when trying two turns for the first time on three weeks' rest, Loggins set a strong early pace and fought on tenaciously to finish a neck second to 'Rising Star' Forte (Violence) while posting a 91 Beyer. Forte would go on to take the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile and champion 2-year-old honors.

Loggins was raced by a partnership including Spendthrift Farm LLC, Steve Landers Racing LLC, Martin S. Schwartz, Michael Dubb, Ten Strike Racing, Jim Bakke, Titletown Racing Stables, Kueber Racing LLC, Big Easy Racing LLC and Winners Win.

Loggins is standing the 2025 breeding season at a fee of $7,500 at Hill 'n' Dale Farms.
