PRINCIPE GUILHERME (c, 2, Tapit&log=">Tapit–Aubby K {GISW, $435,004}, by Street Sense) made good on his runaway 'TDN Rising Star' debut performance, a 6 1/4-length tally going seven furlongs at Churchill Nov. 10. Not much of a secret at odds of 2-5 in this first two-turn test, he went the front and was uncontested through opening fractions of :24.38 and :48.79. The bay continued unchallenged on the lead and under a tight hold entering the stretch and wasn't for catching. It was 11 3/4 lengths back to Private Eye (Midnight Lute) in second.
Principe Guilherme, quoted at odds of 27-1 in Pool 1 Kentucky Derby Future Wager, is the first foal out of 2013 GI Humana Distaff S. heroine Aubby K, a $2.4-million FTKNOV purchase by Summer Wind Farm in 2015. Aubby K, a half-sister to GSP Flying Pegasus (Fusaichi Pegasus) and Mythical Pegasus (Fusaichi Pegasus), had a colt by Tapit in 2016 and a filly by Medaglia d'Oro in 2017. She was bred back to Empire Maker. Sales history: $600,000 Wlg '15 FTKNOV. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0, $61,800. Click for the Equibase.com chart.
