Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 6, 2020 Journalists Share Posted June 6, 2020 Phoenix Thoroughbred Ltd & Three Chimneys Farm’s VOLATILE (c, 4, Violence–Melody Lady, by Unbridled’s Song) validated the ‘TDN Rising Star’ he was given for a last-out Oaklawn allowance victory Apr. 24 with a smashing eight-length romp in Saturday’s Aristides S. at Churchill Downs. Drawn six of six in a field with plenty of speed on paper, the 1-2 chalk perched three wide off the early pace of :21.48 set by the fleet Bobby’s Wicked One (Speightstown) and was poised to pounce while deep at the entrance to the stretch as the half-mile was up in :44.36. Shaken up by Ricardo Santana, Jr., he quickly opened up on his sputtering rivals and stopped the clock in a wicked 1:07.55, just 0.02 off a 13-year-old track record. Volatile is a maternal grandson of GISW Lady Tak (Mutakddim), whose 3-year-old daughter Casual (Curlin) remained undefeated in two starts with a first-level allowance victory at this track May 22 (click here for more on Volatile and Casual). Lifetime Record: 5-4-1-0. O-Phoenix Thoroughbreds Ltd & Three Chimneys Farm; B-Hill ‘n’ Dale Equine Holdings & Stretch Run (KY); T-Steve Asmussen.
