Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 8, 2019 Journalists Share Posted June 8, 2019 ‘TDN Rising Star’ GUARANA (f, 3, Ghostzapper–Magical World, by Distorted Humor) proved her ultra-impressive debut was no fluke with a dominant score in Belmont’s GI Acorn S. A dazzling 14 3/4-length winner in her Keeneland unveiling Apr. 19, she was favored at 9-5 over GI Kentucky Oaks winner Serengeti Empress (Alternation) in this big step up in class. Sitting in a three-wide fourth early as the Oaks victress blazed through an opening quarter in :21.89, the bay was tucked in a bit, sitting just off the rail in third as Serengeti Empress continued her sizzling pace, putting up a half in :43.99. Biding her time on the backstretch run, Guarana tipped out to tackle the leader turning for home and the top two betting choice dueled for a few strides. But, Guarana easily dispatched her more seasoned rival in the final furlong, powering clear to a six-length victory in 1:33.58. Serengeti Empress held second over Jeltrin (Tapizar). Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0. O/B-Three Chimneys Farm (KY); T-Chad Brown.
