Red Lodge, made a 'TDN Rising Star' off her strong maiden win May 27 at Belmont, returned from a disappointing run at Royal Ascot to dominate the Colleen S. on the Monmouth lawn. The chestnut got run down at 3-10 when second in her Apr. 20 debut at Keeneland, then cruised by 3 3/4 lengths to graduate next out at Belmont. Sent to Ascot off that effort, she was a disappointing ninth in the GII Norfolk S. there June 16. Away at odds-on in this spot, Red Lodge quickly made the lead under Paco Lopez, was lightly pressed through a :22.49 quarter-mile, stayed under a long hold on the turn while her pursuer was in a drive, drew away with mild urging in the stretch and came home to a convincing score over Iron Mizz (Mizzen Mast). The winner's second dam is MGISW turfer Memories of Silver (Silver Hawk), making her unraced dam a half-sister to MGISW Winter Memories (El Prado {Ire}) and GSW La Cloche (Ghostzapper). Star Silver has a yearling filly by Street Cry (Ire), a weanling colt by English Channel and was bred back to The Factor. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
