Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 15, 2020 Journalists Share Posted September 15, 2020 After a second straight year of rounding out the exacta at the prestigious Royal Ascot meeting, ‘TDN Rising Star’ Kimari (Munnings) returns from across the pond and will take on the boys as the 5-2 morning-line choice in Wednesday’s GIII Franklin-Simpson S. at Kentucky Downs. The 2019 G2 Queen Mary S. runner-up and 2020 G1 Commonwealth Cup second-place finisher defeated the talented Frank’s Rockette (Into Mischief) in her only other try this season in Oaklawn’s Purple Martin S. in the slop Apr. 4. She was a close fourth in last term’s GII Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Santa Anita. Wesley Ward will also saddle 2019 G3 Prix du Bois winner Maven (American Pharoah). After kicking off his sophomore campaign with a facile win in a Keeneland allowance July 8, he was a disappointing sixth as the favorite in Saratoga’s Mahony S. Aug. 26. The rail-drawn Turned Aside (American Pharoah) enters off a sharp decision in Saratoga’s GIII Quick Call S. July 24.
