Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted February 8 Journalists Share Posted February 8 He made those that swallowed 1-5 really have to sweat it out, but in the end, Chester Broman's 'TDN Rising Star' SAND DEVIL (c, 3, Violence–Mineralogist, by Mineshaft) got to the wire first after a long stretch duel in Saturday's state-bred restricted Damon Runyon Stakes at Aqueduct, running his record to a perfect three wins from as many trips to the races. Dropping back slightly in trip after decimating first-level allowance rivals by better than a dozen lengths going a mile Jan. 2, the homebred chestnut found the front with relative and could have opened up on his four rivals, but Jose Lezcano instead took a hard hold and they ambled along through route-like fractions of :24.52 and :48.58 as the stakes-placed chief market rival National Identity (Solomini) tracked from close range. Sand Devil turned for home narrowly in front and they quickened up in unison, but Sand Devil did slightly the better work in the final furlong and a half and went on to prevail by a hard-fought neck. The final time for the seven furlongs was 1:24.66. Lifetime Record: 3-3-0-0.
