Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 24, 2019 Journalists Share Posted August 24, 2019 Don Alberto Stable’s Magic Star (f, 3, Scat Daddy–Meadow Breeze, by Meadowlake) put it all together late and soared to an impressive debut victory at Saratoga Saturday, becoming the newest ‘TDN Rising Star’ on the final race of the Travers day card. Jostled at the break, the 3-2 favorite fell well off the pace in the strung-out field as Hidden Facts (The Factor) was clear through fractions of :23.20 and :47.63. Still with plenty to do and buried in traffic as the field turned for home, Magic Star found a seam to run through and, once she saw daylight, she kicked into another gear, bounding to the lead for a resounding 2 1/2-length victory. She was the fifth winner on the card for trainer Chad Brown. Kelleycanrun (Cairo Prince) was second and Macabre (Hard Spun) was third. The time for the 1 1/16 miles was 1:42.12. Magic Star, produced by GI Matron S. heroine Meadow Breeze (Meadowlake), was a $500,000 KEESEP yearling. She had been working in company with talented Brown stablemates Mascha (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}) (five furlongs in 1:01 3/5 on Oklahoma training turf Aug. 16 XBTV Video) and GI Alabama S. heroine Dunbar Road (Quality Road) (five furlongs in 1:01 3/5 on the main track Aug. 3 XBTV Video). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $54,000. O-Don Alberto Stable. B-Betz D J Stables CoCo Burns & Magers (Ky). T-Chad Brown.
