Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted January 8, 2021 Journalists Share Posted January 8, 2021 Sent off as part of an entry at odds of 13-4, The Estate of Paul Pompa Jr.’s CARILLO (c, 3, Union Rags–Proper Mad, by Bernardini) overcame a bit of a sluggish start and an overland run around the far turn to graduate at first asking, earning the ‘TDN Rising Star’ designation in the process. Squeezed back a bit at the break, the homebred trailed early before improving in traffic to sit midfield as they hit the turn. Consigned to a wide run around the bend, Carillo rallied deep into the stretch and sustained a long run to draw away by three lengths at the finish over some more-experienced rivals. The late Pompa acquired Carillo’s dam, a half-sister to MSW & GSP Secret Someone (A.P. Indy) and to the dam of GISW Dunbar Road (Quality Road), for $185,000 carrying the colt in utero at Keeneland November in 2017. The colt’s third dam, the SW & GISP Private Status (Alydar), was responsible for 2000 GI Kentucky Oaks and GI Mother Goose S. winner Secret Status (A.P. Indy). Carillo is set to be offered as hip 1566 as part of the complete dispersal of the Pompa bloodstock at Keeneland January next Thursday. Proper Mad sells as hip 793 near the end of Tuesday’s second session. Lane’s End is handling the dispersal. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. O-Estate of Paul Pompa Jr; B-Paul Pompa Jr (KY); T-Chad Brown.
