Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 14, 2020 Journalists Share Posted March 14, 2020 Making 30 cents on the dollar seem like Christmas in March, ‘TDN Rising Star’ CHARLATAN (c, 3, Speightstown—Authenticity, by Quiet American) is on to bigger and better things following a thoroughly convincing 12-length allowance victory Saturday afternoon at Santa Anita. Quickly into stride from the outside gate in a scratched-down field of five just minutes after stablemate and fellow ‘Rising Star’ Nadal (Blame) stamped his authority on the GII Rebel S., Charlatan looked to settle well enough through an opening quarter-mile in :23.14 and skipped along ears-pricked past the half-mile in :46.88 while setting the pace a bit off the inside. Always clear of his rivals, the $700,000 Keeneland September yearling hit the quarter pole after three-quarters in 1:11.04 and opened up at will from there, clocking a respectable :25.20 for the final two furlongs while never asked for anything approaching a top effort. A chestnut who bears a physical resemblance to his sire, Charlatan earned a debut 105 Beyer Speed Figure in posting a 5 3/4-length victory (raw time 1:08.85) at Santa Anita Feb. 16.
