Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 7, 2019 Journalists Share Posted September 7, 2019 ALPHA SIXTY SIX (c, 2, Liam’s Map–Giant Sensation, by Giant’s Causeway) became the third winner and second ‘TDN Rising Star’ for his freshman sire (by Unbridled’s Song) with a gritty debut score at Belmont Saturday. Displaying a speedy work tab that included a best-of-45 half-mile in :47 4/5 at Saratoga two back Aug. 26, the $400,000 KEESEP buy was hammered down to even-money for this career bow for the strong duo of Todd Pletcher and John Velazquez. Perched two-wide in mid-pakc through a :23.01 opening quarter, the bay ranged up three- wide out of the leaders approaching the far turn. Rail-skimming Hemlock (Into Mischief) looked home free as he took the lead in the lane, but Alpha Sixty Six kept on finding to run that Godolphin representative down in the final strides for a narrow success in 1:16.60. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. O-Paul Pompa, Jr.; B-Overbrook Farm & Kildare Stud (KY); T-Todd Pletcher.
