Klaravich Stables' 'TDN Rising Star' Feedback (Violence) attempts to keep her unbeaten record in tact when she lines up in Sunday's GIII Beaumont S. Keeneland. An eye-popping debut winner going 6 1/2-furlong at Saratoga Aug. 12, the Chad Brown runner was given the remainder of the season off before returning in 2019 with a score in the seven-furlong GIII Forward S. at Gulfstream Feb. 2.
Also worth another look is Queen of Beas (Flatter), trained by former Brown assistant Jorge Abreu. A close-up second behind next-out winner Just Ain't Right (Yes It's True) in a six-panel Gulfstream maiden Dec. 13, the Kingsport Farm trainee went one better while trying an extra furlong Jan. 6 before making it two straight going a mile at the Hallandale oval Jan. 31. Jose Ortiz gets back aboard.
Trainer Bob Baffert is represented by 'Rising Star' Mother Mother (Pioneerof the Nile). Winner of Churchill's Rags to Riches S. last October, she also placed in a pair of Grade I's last term, including the Starlet S. Dec. 8. Runner-up behind Bellafina (Quality Road) in the Jan. 6 GII Santa Ynez S. at Santa Anita, Mother Mother weakened to fourth in the late stages of the mile GII Las Virgenes S. Feb. 9.
LNJ Foxwoods Fancy Dress Party (Munnings) won at first asking in the Keeneland slop last October before closing out the season with a score in a Churchill Downs optional claimer Nov. 24. An easy winner under Luis Saez in the Jan. 5 Glitter Woman S., she reunites with the rider this time.
