Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 9, 2023 Journalists Posted July 9, 2023 Living up to both his price tag and his recent workouts, Prince of Monaco (Speightstown–Rainier by Medaglia d'Oro) earned TDN Rising Star billing as the 2-year-old poured on the speed at Los Alamitos on Sunday afternoon en route to a maiden-breaking victory for trainer Bob Baffert. Off at 1-9 for this debut, the $950,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Select graduate broke outwardly from his wide draw in this compact field, but soon seized the lead heading into the far turn. Opening up at the top of the lane, the dark bay colt cruised along and extended his margin to eight lengths under a hand ride by jockey Juan Hernandez. Lord Bullingdon (Lord Nelson) at 18-1 odds was second. The final running time was :57.21. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. O-SF Racing LLC, Starlight Racing, Madaket Stables LLC, Stonestreet Stables LLC, Dianne Bashor, Robert E. Masterson, Waves Edge Capital LLC, Catherine Donovan and Tom Ryan; B-Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings; T-Bob Baffert. Cruising to the finish line, Jockey @JJHernandezS19 sits chilly aboard this 2-year-old colt by Speightstown #5 PRINCE OF MONACO ($2.10) to win Race 2 at @losalracing for trainer @BobBaffert.
