Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 21, 2022 Journalists Posted October 21, 2022 Sent away at a well-backed 7-2 in a salty 6 1/2-furlong maiden at Keeneland Friday afternoon, Spendthrift Farm and Frank Fletcher Racing Operation's VICTORY FORMATION (c, 2, Tapwrit–Smart N Soft, by Smart Strike) led past every pole to become the and 10th individual winner and the first 'TDN Rising Star' for his Gainesway-based freshman sire (by Tapit). Hustled away from gate three by Luis Saez, Victory Formation led as the field linked up with the track proper and got the opening quarter in :23.03. Galloping in hand on the turn, the athletic bay pinched a break entering the stretch and pulled readily clear through the final eighth of a mile to take it by 4 3/4 lengths. Release Mccraken (McCraken) was second ahead of lukewarm favorite Communication Memo (Bolt d'Oro) in third. Sales history: $100,000 Wlg '20 KEENOV; $150,000 Ylg '21 FTKJUL; $340,000 2yo '22 FTMMAY. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. O-Spendthrift Farm LLC & Frank Fletcher Racing Operations; B-Gainesway Thoroughbreds Limited; T-Brad Cox.
