Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 4, 2018 Journalists Share Posted August 4, 2018 MUCHO (c, 2, Blame–Extent, by Pulpit), second on debut at Belmont, ran away and hid Saturday at Saratoga to become the latest ‘TDN Rising Star.’ Runner-up behind Whiskey Echo (Tiznow)–who returned to be third in the GIII Sanford S. here opening weekend–June 10 at Big Sandy, the homebred was punched all the way down to 2-1 from a 12-1 morning line quote here and came away well to track a pair of dueling leaders from third through a sharp :22.11 quarter. Sidling up to the pacesetters three deep on his own power nearing the straightaway, the bay easily took charge at the top of the lane and skipped clear from there to romp for fun by nine lengths in 1:10.19. Fullness of Time (Flatter) ran on late to nail frontrunner Justice of War (Strong Mandate) for second on the wire. The winner is a half to Size (First Samurai), GSW, $212,453. Second dam Limit (Cox’s Ridge) is a half to G1SW Archipenko (Kingmambo) and Liable (Seeking the Gold), the MSP dam of Mucho’s champion sire. Third dam Bound (Nijinsky II) was a SW/GISP half to champion Nureyev (Northern Dancer) and Fairy Bridge (Bold Reason), the dam of champion and foundational sire Sadler’s Wells (Northern Dancer). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $51,000. O/B-Claiborne Farm & Adele B. Dilschneider (KY); T-William I. Mott. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
