DREAM PAULINE (f, 3, Tapit–Dream Rush {MGISW, $779,364}, by Wild Rush) romped by six lengths in her Dec. 3 unveiling at Aqueduct, an effort impressive enough to earn 'TDN Rising Star' honors. Favored at 9-5 to repeat while trying older horses here, the chestnut saved ground in a joint fourth through a :22.65 first quarter. Full of run, but with no where to go on the backstretch, the homebred was swung out three wide by Javier Castellano turning for home. Dream Pauline took control in the final furlong and sailed clear to win by two lengths over a determined Mizzen Max (Mizzen Mast), who dueled on the front end through the early stages. The winner is out of MGISW Dream Rush, who won this venue's GI Test S. in 2007 and sold for $3.3 million a few months later at the Fasig-Tipton November Sale. Her top produce thus far is 'TDN Rising Star' and GI Frizette S. heroine Dreaming of Julia (A.P. Indy), GISW, $874,500; and she is also responsible for young sire Atreides (Medaglia d'Oro), SW, $120,176. Dream Rush has an unraced juvenile filly by Curlin and a Medaglia d'Oro colt born Feb. 21 of this year. The 14-year-old mare visited Pioneerof the Nile this spring. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0, $83,850.
