Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 5, 2020 Journalists Share Posted September 5, 2020 Off as the 2-1 chalk to improve on a distant debut third to ‘TDN Rising Star’ Reinvestment Risk (Upstart) Aug. 1, OLYMPIAD c, 2, (Speightstown–Tokyo Time, by Medaglia d’Oro) broke running and raced prominently from third and three off the inside just off an opening quarter-mile in :22.80. Traveling sweetly on the turn, the $700,000 Keeneland September yearling came calling for the lead in upper stretch and finished nicely to graduate by a little more than two lengths in Saturday’s fifth from Saratoga. The second most-expensive of 38 of his outstanding sire’s progeny reported as sold in 2019, Olympiad is bred on a wildly successful cross over Medaglia d’Oro that has been responsible for Grade I winners Rock Fall and Competitionofideas. Another of Speightstown’s top-level winners, She’s Happy (Arg), was produced by a Sadler’s Wells mare. ‘TDN Rising Star’ Shirl’s Speight was produced by a daughter of Perfect Soul (Ire). O-Grandview Equine, Cheyenne Stables LLC & LNJ Foxwoods; B-Emory A Hamilton (KY); T-Bill Mott.
