‘Rising Star’ Verifire Remains Perfect, Takes Maxfield Stakes with Style

[Wandering Eyes]

Resolute Racing's 'TDN Rising Star' Verifire (Authentic) once again took home the win as he strolled home to victory in the Maxfield Stakes.

Content to watch the race unfold as Smoken Wicked (Bobby's Wicked One) set a brisk pace of :22.36, :44.56, and six panels in 1:08.34 coming off the bend, Verifire pounced on those leaders in the lane and the race was over. He cleared those rivals and hit the wire with air to spare. Smoken Wicked held on to second while Captain Cook (Practical Joke) rolled late to claim third.

The final time was a swift 1:20.77 for the seven furlong trip.

Sales history: $260,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP; $1,000,000 2yo '24 OBSMAR. O-Resolute Racing; B-Gainesway Thoroughbreds (KY); T-Brad Cox.
