Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 16 Journalists Posted August 16 Named a 'TDN Rising Star' when romping to a 12-length maiden victory over the adjacent Tapeta track back on July 13, Gold Square LLC's TWO OUT HERO (c, 2, War Front–Song River, by Liam's Map) split horses decisively with push coming to shove in Saturday's Soaring Free Stakes at Woodbine and finished nicely to take his record to two wins from as many tries and cap a wildly successful afternoon from the King's Plate-winning barn of Kevin Attard. Off as the 6-5 chalk, the $240,000 Keeneland September purchase could have flaunted the same sort of speed he exhibited on his debut run, but instead was settled just off the pace by Rafael Hernandez, as the previously unbeaten Casson (Caravaggio) showed the way. Traveling kindly on the back of the speed into the long Woodbine straight, it appeared as if Hernandez might duck to the inside of Casson, but instead he went for a run between rivals, squeezed through and kicked on nicely for a clear-cut victory. Argos (Nyquist), a debut winner sprinting over the Ellis Park turf for Riley Mott, ran home for third. Sales history: $240,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0.
