L and N Racing LLC's RETIREMENT FUND (Eskendereya) takes on winners for the first time after being named 'TDN Rising Star' following his wire-to-wire 7 1/4-length victory at first asking here Dec. 22.
The bay is a half-brother to GSW Barbados (Speightstown), and his dam, Northern Station (Street Cry {Ire}), was a stakes winner in her own right. Retirement Fund also hails from the family of MGSW/MGISP sire E Dubai (Mr. Prospector) and 2008 GI Breeders' Cup Classic winner Raven's Pass (Elusive Quality). He is the 2-1 morning-line favorite.
