Benedetta (f, 2, City of Light–Tessie Flip, by Grand Slam), a $750,000 OBS March purchase by Kaleem Shah, kicked off her career in style with a 'TDN Rising Star' performance at Los Alamitos Saturday afternoon.

The 3-5 favorite flashed good early speed and traveled powerfully while about four wide on the turn for home. She switched over to her right lead in the stretch and was under cruise control down the lane to win by a geared-down three lengths over Tambo (Enticed).

Benedetta RNA'd for $290,000 as a Keeneland September yearling, then fired a :9 4/5 bullet from the Top Line Sales LLC, Agent X consignment at OBS March this year.

Tessie Flip, a winning half-sister to MGISW Switch (Quiet American), is also responsible for Jo Jo Air (Scat Daddy), MSW & GSP, $221,474; a 2023 filly by Maxfield.

Benedetta is the second 'TDN Rising Star' for City of Light.

3rd-Los Alamitos, $45,500, Msw, 7-8, 2yo, f, 5f, :57.92, ft, 3 lengths.
