Violence’s Boyd Blasts Home a ‘TDN Rising Star’ in Del Mar Debut

[Wandering Eyes]

Zedan Racing Stable's Boyd (c, 2, Violence–A Taste of Red, by Street Boss), a $1.05-million purchase at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic May sale, bound home an effortless wire-to-wire victor in his debut at Del Mar Sunday, earning the 'TDN Rising Star' label. The chestnut colt, sent off at even money, was hustled of the gate and was easily in front through a quarter in :21.32 and he turned for home three lengths in front through a half in :43.91. Well in front down the lane, Boyd gave his backers their only anxious moment when he appeared to drift in and brush the rail in upper stretch, but he was soon righted by Tyler Gaffalione and glided home a six-length winner, completing the 5 1/2 furlongs in 1:02.79. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. O-Zedan Racing Stable. B-Nasser Omihira (Ky). T-Bob Baffert.
