Godolphin homebred and 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' Knightsbridge (h, 5, Nyquist–Tyburn Brook, by Bernardini) made his 1-5 odds look like a bargain in Saturday's GIII Gulfstream Park Mile S.

He chased in second, took over with ease on the far turn and opened daylight in the stretch to win for fun. Steal Sunshine (Constitution) was second. Flying Liam (Liam's Map) was third.

The final time was 1:35.58.

Knightsbridge entered riding a three-race winning streak, headed by victories in Gulfstream's GIII Mr. Prospector S. going seven furlongs Dec. 27 and GIII Fred W. Hooper S. going a mile last time Jan. 24. He earned Beyer Speed Figures of 104 and 105 in those two victories.

Knightsbridge is a half-brother to young Darley stallion Speaker's Corner (Street Sense), winner of the 2022 GI Carter Handicap. Knightsbridge's second dam is GI Breeders' Cup Distaff heroine Round Pond (Awesome Again), who brought $5.75 million from Sheikh Mohammed's global operation at the 2007 Fasig-Tipton November sale.

Knightsbridge's unraced dam is a half-sister to GI Jockey Club Gold Cup winner Highland Falls (Curlin) and G1 Al Maktoum Challenge Round 3 winner Long River (A.P. Indy). The Nyquist x Bernardini cross is also responsible for GISWs Gretzky the Great, Immersive and Nysos.

Lifetime Record: 8-6-1-1.
