[Wandering Eyes]

3rd-Santa Anita, $65,500, Msw, 3-14, 3yo, 1 1/16m, 1:43.94, ft, 1 1/4 lengths.
VOLDEMORT (c, 3, Good Magic–Beauty Buzz, by Bernardini) couldn't reel in 'TDN Rising Star' Tiz Secure (Maximum Security) in their mutual unveiling Feb. 22, but the 8-5 favorite more than got the job done here with a workman-like effort on the front end.

Quickly to the front to control the pace, he came under pressure after the half in :45.78 and tried to give the field the slip entering the second bend. On a clear lead, but with the margin shrinking late, Voldemort held on by 1 1/4 lengths over Westwood (Authentic), who came in over 10 lengths ahead of the third place runner.

The winner is the second to the races, but first winner, for his dam. Beauty Buzz has since produced a juvenile colt by Core Beliefs and is due to Pappacap for 2025. The mare is a half-sister to the dam of Venezuela's 2024 champion juvenile filly, and is out of a full-sister to the late MGISW Pioneerof the Nile, best known as the sire of Triple Crown winner American Pharoah. Sales history: $700,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, $51,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
