NEWSPAPEROFRECORD (IRE) (f, 2, Lope de Vega {Ire}–Sunday Times {GB}, by Holy Roman Emperor {Ire})entered this unveiling with a reputation that preceded her, and she came out of it a ‘TDN Rising Star’ after an extremely impressive first outing reminiscent of some of her Eclipse winning-trainer’s superstar turf trainees. Pounded down to 3-2 favoritism, the 200,000gns Tattersalls October yearling acquisition sat in a well-held second behind splits of :25.05 and :50.45. She could be bottled up no more as she tugged her way to the lead through a six panels in 1:15.77, and from there the bay put on a show, widening her margin with every stride despite cruising to the line under a Irad Ortiz, Jr. hammerlock. Keeping with the theme of Chad Brown-trained exactas and trifectas, Newspaperofrecord’s stablemate Sister Kitten (Kitten’s Joy) came on for second. The Ballylinch Stud resident Lope de Vega had enjoyed an outstanding day at the Arqana August Sale on Sunday, with a half-brother to recent G2 Vintage S. hero Dark Vision (Ire) (Dream Ahead) selling for €900,000 to MV Magnier and another colt going the way of the China Horse Club for €600,000 just a few hips later. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0.
