Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 7 Journalists Share Posted April 7 'TDN Rising Star' Colloquial (c, 3, Vekoma–Terminology, by Bernardini) followed up his brilliant maiden score at Aqueduct in February with a wire-to-wire victory in the Lafayette Stakes at Keeneland Monday. The 1-4 favorite was pressed by Smoken Wicked (Bobby's Wicked One) through a quarter in :22.62 and a half in :44.96 and began inching away from that pesky foe in upper stretch en route to a two-length victory. Touchy (Nyquist) closed belatedly for third. The time for the seven furlongs was 1:23.92. Colloquial, a nose runner-up on debut at Aqueduct last June, resurfaced at the Big A Feb. 7 with a towering maiden score which earned him a 106 Beyer figure. The winner was a $240,000 purchase at the 2023 Keeneland September sale. Lifetime Record: 3-2-1-0. O-Harrell Ventures & Starlight Racing. B-Michael & JB Orem (Ky). T-George Weaver.
