[Wandering Eyes]

7th-Aqueduct, $86,000, Alw (C)/Opt. Clm ($80,000), 4-4, 4yo/up, 1m, 1:35.23, ft, 1/2 length.
STAR OF WONDER (c, 4, Uncle Mo–Starship Warpspeed, by Congrats), a half-brother to Shedaresthedevil (Daredevil), MGISW, $2,777,458, delivered as the even-money favorite in his 4-year-old debut here. The 'TDN Rising Star' was off to a slow start, but recovered nicely to advance into fourth through an opening quarter in :23.11. Locked and loaded but stuck in traffic approaching the quarter pole, Star of Wonder found racing room along the rail as they straightened for home and kicked on in the stretch to defeat longshot Castle Chaos (Palace Malice) by a half-length. Star of Wonder made all four of his previous career starts last season, including an optional claiming victory around two turns at Churchill Downs most recently Nov. 24. Starship Warpspeed has also produced Mojovation (Quality Road), GSP, $375,988; the 3-year-old filly Lady Scuderia (Uncle Mo), a $2.5-million KEESEP yearling purchase set to debut for Resolute Racing and Bill Mott at Keeneland Sunday; and the 2-year-old colt Leading Change (Gun Runner), an $800,000 KEESEP yearling purchase by Case Clay Thoroughbred Management. Lifetime Record: 5-4-0-0, $267,680. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
