Violence Rising Star Returns as Forward Gal Fave

[Wandering Eyes]

Klaravich Stables’ Feedback (Violence) burst onto the scene with a dominant, ‘TDN Rising Star’-earning victory last summer at Saratoga. She hasn’t been seen since, but that effort was impressive enough on its own that she likely will go off a heavy favorite off the bench in the GIII Forward Gal S. Saturday at Gulfstream.

Picked up for $85,000 as a Keeneland November weanling, the dark bay took play to be 27-10 in her Aug. 12 debut, pressed the pace and ran away readily in the lane to score by eight lengths while under wraps. The fact that trainer Chad Brown tries this race instead of a first-level allowance off the break signals major confidence, and Feedback finished up preparations with a sharp half-mile breeze in :48 2/5 (9/98) Jan. 29 at Palm Meadows.

Fashion Faux Pas (Flatter) could make it a one-two finish for her sire as she looks for her third win in a row. Fourth after dueling on a fast pace debuting Nov. 2 at Laurel, the $65,000 KEESEP jumped forward to a 5 3/4-length graduation there three weeks later and repeated with a four-length success in the Sandpiper S. Dec. 15 at Tampa. She comes into this off a best-of-68 bullet half-mile in :48 flat Jan. 26 in Oldsmar.

Monarch Stables’ Bye Bye J (Uncaptured) will also try to make it back-to-back stakes tallies. A first-out victress here last April, the $21,000 OBS Winter buy was third against males in a Gulfstream West turf sprint Nov. 23 before annexing the local House Party S. Dec. 8.
