Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 20, 2023 Journalists Posted May 20, 2023 'TDN Rising Star' ARABIAN LION (c, 3, Justify–Unbound, by Distorted Humor) was sent off the 1-5 jolly for Saturday's Sir Barton S. at Pimlico and came away in the final 150 yards to become the 11th worldwide stakes winner for his outstanding young stallion. Off extremely alertly in a scratched-down field of five, the $600,000 OBS April breezer led through a leisurely opening quarter in :24.47, but was forced to pick it up some in the middle stages, as second choice Tapit's Conquest (Tapit) tried to put a bit of pressure on to the outside. Arabian Lion still held the call after three-quarters in 1:11.22 and when Tapit's Conquest gave it one final crack entering the final furlong, the burly chestnut hit another gear and ran out a four-length winner in 1:41.13 over a track that has been yielding quick times. Sales history: $600,000 2yo '22 OBSAPR. O-Zedan Racing Stable; B-Bonne Chance Farm LLC (KY); T-Bob Baffert.
