Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 19 Journalists Posted August 19 He nearly got nailed on the wire but 'TDN Rising Star' Tip Top Thomas (c, 3, Volatile–Attempt To Name, by Consolidator) got the job done in gate to wire fashion to win the Smarty Jones Stakes at Parx Tuesday. Comfortably on the lead from the break, the 2-5 favorite led every step chased intently by Fact (Instagrand) through the half in :46.88. It looked at top of the stretch as though the favorite would run away with it but Fact came right back and was closing determinedly down the outside to just miss a head behind Tip Top Thomas. Fellow 'Rising Star' Hypnus (Into Mischief) made up ground late to get third. Lifetime Record: 6-4-1-0. O-Bakke, James J. and Isbister, Gerald; B-Wynnstay Inc., Donna Moore and Jim Richardson; T-Todd A. Pletcher.
