Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted Saturday at 07:21 PM Journalists Share Posted Saturday at 07:21 PM Using copious amounts of speed down the lane, first-time starter Verifire (Authentic–Ruby Trust, by Smart Strike) sailed across the wire at Colonial Downs and earned himself a 'TDN Rising Star' in the process. At the bell, the $1 million OBS buy was in the mix, but the second choice on the tote soon was taken back to run midpack up the backstretch. Ready to fire around the far turn though, Verifire punched the afterburner and won impressively. The favorite, Hitchcock (Quality Road), was the runner-up. The final running time was 1:08.14. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. Sales History: $1,000,000 '24 OBSMAR. O-Resolute Racing; B-Gainesway Thoroughbreds LTD. (KY); T-Brad H. Cox.
