BLACKOUT TIME, ELP, 8/2, 1 mile, 'TDN Rising Star'

O-Brookdale Racing and Lance Gasaway. B-Newstead Corp (Ky). T-Kenny McPeek. J-Brian Hernandez Jr.
McPeek has another promising juvenile and he's already gone a mile. Blackout Time–out of a Joe Allen owned-and-bred graded turf winner – debuted with a strong 2nd behind Dazzle d'Oro at Churchill and Saturday he sped 9 3/4 lengths ahead of a full field of juveniles that included two Asmussens, two Coxes, two Casses and a Walsh.

BUETANE, DMR, 8/3, 5 furlongs, 'TDN Rising Star' (VIDEO)

O-Zedan Racing Stables. B-Merriebelle Stable (Ky). T-Bob Baffert. J-Juan Hernandez.
Amr Zedan topped this list last week thanks to Brant's 101 Beyer. One month after shelling out an OBS record $3 million for Brant, Zedan took home Buetane for $1.15 million and now he has a nice one-two punch for upcoming Del Mar 2-year-old stakes. Buetane had 3 1/2 lengths on fellow Baffert firster Falcon Jet, who was 7 1/4 ahead of the others.

ITS BOURBON THIRTY, ELP, 8/1, 5 1/2 furlongs (turf)

O-Howling Pigeon Farms. B-Paul King (Ky). T-Jeremiah O'Dwyer. J-Luan Machado.
He started his career 0-for-5 in races on turf and Tapeta, all around two turns. But O'Dwyer cut him back from 9 furlongs to 5 1/2, added blinkers, and watched him lead from start to finish at 6-1 odds. Its Bourbon Thirty is a fitting name for a Kentucky-bred, and those who hit this $1,389 dime superfecta Friday were probably knocking back a few.

GLORIOUS LIFE, DMR, 8/2, 5 furlongs (turf) (VIDEO)
Beyer Speed Figure- 88
(g, 5, by Vronsky–Glorious Luck, by Lucky J.H.)
O/B-Harris Farms (Cal). T-Carla Gaines. J-Kazushi Kimura.
He's from one of the most productive female families nurtured by California breeding legend John Harris, who passed away July 2. The 5-year-old had only four previous races, hadn't started in 10 months and also had been gelded in the interim. Gaines had already hit the board three times at Del Mar with long-layoff runners and had this one primed for a lifetime best off the bench.

DELIGHTFUL CLAIRE, SAR, 8/2, 7 furlongs, 'TDN Rising Star' (VIDEO)
Beyer Speed Figure- 95

O-Rigney Racing. B-Gmbracstables, Mr. and Mrs. Ramon Rangel and Mr. and Mrs. Zachary Mad (Ky). T-Phil Bauer. J-Joel Rosario.
She was bet down to 8-5 in her June debut at Churchill but was done in by wickedly fast fractions and a talented Mott filly. Then she stepped up her game Saturday in a huge way, putting a 9 1/4-length bruising on a decent field strung out a quarter-mile behind her. Her half-brother Crazy Mason came from the clouds to win the Carter four months back, but she has plenty of speed.
