Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 14, 2020 Journalists Share Posted October 14, 2020 A firming even-money favorite, PREMIER STAR (c, 3, Tapiture–Letthetigerparty, by Hold That Tiger) proved far too strong for six other rivals in Wednesday’s Jersey Shore S. at Monmouth Park, jogging under the line by the better part of five lengths. Away fairly from his low draw, Premier Star raced in third with a foothold at the fence and Paco Lopez elected to send his mount through a tight inside spot to take up the running with a little less than a half-mile to race. Comfortably in front on the bend, he kicked further clear in upper stretch and came home a convincing winner over Johnny Ritt (Weigelia). ‘TDN Rising Star’ Meru (Sky Mesa) was off slowly and lagged towards the rear for the opening half-mile, then made decent stretch progress to round out the trifecta. Premier Star is the seventh black-type winner for Tapiture, who also supplied this year’s GIII Monmouth Oaks victress Hopeful Growth. Sales history: $105,000 Ylg ’18 KEESEP; $100,000 2yo ’19 OBSJUN. Lifetime Record: 7-4-0-1. O-Sonata Stable; B-Charles H Deters (KY); T-Mike Trombetta.
