Curlin Rising Star Gets It Done in Ruffian


Recommended Posts

  • Journalists

PACIFIC WIND (f, 4, Curlin–Shag, by Dixieland Band), a ‘TDN Rising Star’, scored her first graded victory in the GII Ruffian S. Sunday at Belmont. Debuting with a romping win on turf last March, the $200,000 Keeneland September graduate was third in both the GIII Senorita S. and GII Honeymoon S. in her next two starts. Annexing her dirt bow Oct. 21, she was fifth in the GII Bayakoa S. and was transferred from Peter Eurton to this barn over the winter before airing in a Keeneland allowance last out Apr. 13. Backed down to 3-2 favoritism in this spot, the chestnut tracked from fourth at the inside behind fractions of :23.04 and :46.39. Angling four deep nearing the stretch, she sidled up to Highway Star (Girolamo) a furlong from home and gradually wore that one down to score by a little less than a length in 1:36.22. Lifetime Record: 9-4-1-2, $312,545. O-Sharon Alesia, Ciaglia Racing LLC, Peter M. Brant & Dominic Savides; B-Sarah S. Farish (KY); T-Chad C. Brown.
