Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 28, 2018 Journalists Share Posted July 28, 2018 CHASING YESTERDAY (f, 2, Tapit–Littleprincessemma, by Yankee Gentleman), a half-sister to none other than Triple Crown winner American Pharoah (Pioneerof the Nile), Horse of the Year, Ch. 2yo & 3yo Colt, MGISW, $8,650,300, took all the tote attention down to 1-5 and ran to the money and her regal pedigree to garner the ‘TDN Rising Star’ distinction. Chasing speedy fellow firster Honeyfromthesouth (Fed Biz) through splits of :21.88 and :45.34, she always looked to have that foe’s measure and she ranged up to take over heading for home. Never really asked for her best, the chestnut cruised home about three lengths to the good in 1:04.44. There was a large gap back to the third finisher. Chasing Yesterday’s half-sister American Cleopatra (Pioneerof the Nile) debuted a winner almost exactly two years ago here to much less fanfare as a 7-1 shot. Named a ‘Rising Star’ herself, she was second in that year’s GI Del Mar Debutante S. next out before eventually RNA’ing for $1.9 million at last year’s Fasig-Tipton November sale. Jane Lyon’s Summer Wind purchased dam Littleprincessemma for $2.1 million in foal to Pioneerof the Nile at the 2014 FTKNOV sale. The 2016 Broodmare of the Year has a yearling colt named Theprinceofthebes (Pioneerof the Nile) and a colt by Tapit foaled Feb. 27. She was bred back to that Gainesway stalwart this season.
