Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 13, 2019 Journalists Share Posted July 13, 2019 MERU (c, 2, Sky Mesa–Lady Lavery, by Elusive Quality) didn’t take much money to be off at 9-2 with a decidedly unassuming worktab at nearby Colts Neck Stables showing, but the youngster put on a very impressive afternoon display to garner the ‘TDN Rising Star’ distinction. Not off particularly sharply, the bay tugged his way up to chase Embolden (The Factor) through a :22.42 opening quarter. Poking his head in front at the top of the lane, he leveled off powerfully from there and widenened his edge to about six lengths on the frontrunner, stopping the clock in :57.32. A $75,000 Fasig-Tipton October yearling, Meru blossomed into a $300,000 OBS April grad after breezing a co-quickest :9 4/5 during the sale’s second under-tack session. Sales history: $75,000 Ylg ’18 FTKOCT; $300,000 2yo ’19 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. O-Colts Neck Stables LLC. B-Godolphin (Ky).
