Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted January 20, 2019 Journalists Share Posted January 20, 2019 FLOR DE LA MAR (f, 2, Tiznow–Sacristy {GSW, $252,112}, by Pulpit), universally tipped leading up to her debut, proved worth the hype with an easy romp at Santa Anita to earn the ‘TDN Rising Star’ nod Sunday. Bought for $500,000 as a Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling, the dark bay showed a typically sharp series of drills for trainer Bob Baffert, capped by a five-furlong spin in :59 1/5 (2/17) here Jan. 13. Off on top as the 1-5 chalk, she deferred to sit a close third past a :22.24 quarter and drew on even terms three deep passing a :45.82. Shaking loose soon after straightening for home, the Godolphin colorbearer was given occasional reminders by Joel Rosario en route to a six-length score in 1:17.45. The victress has half-sisters by Empire Maker from 2017 and 2018 and her dam was bred to Arrogate last season. Sales History: $500,000 Ylg ’17 FTSAUG. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $33,000. O-Godolphin LLC; B-Don Alberto Corporation (KY); T-Bob Baffert. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
