TDN Rising Stars

A signature TDN product, TDN Rising Stars allow readers to identify a race winner in the first few starts of his or her career who will, in our estimation, go on to be a Graded Stakes winner. Designated as Rising Stars by the worldwide TDN staff after a careful and comprehensive review of many factors--including the quality of the field, margin and time of victory, pedigree, sales price and more--Rising Stars are tabbed as such in a maiden, allowance or Listed Stakes race. Mouse over the name of the horse for race details, or mouse over the 1st Dam for available information on her. Click the Writeup link to view the entire TDN Rising Star story.

Auberge
Speedway Stable LLC’s Auberge (Palace) made short work of five others to become a TDN Rising Star at Santa Anita Sunday. Sent off at 3-5 for this unveiling, Auberge shot out of the gate to challenge Parkour (Carpe Dieme) through a swift quarter in :22.21. Ready to dispense with that rival exiting the backstretch, she extended her advantage through the hometurn, continued to draw away while under a hand ride and crossed the wire 7 3/4 lengths over Parkour. Cosmic Cowgirl (Malibu Moon) was 3/4 of a length back in third. This is the sixth winner for Auberge’s freshman sire (by City Zip). The most expensive offspring for MGISW Palace , AUBERGE was scratched out of the Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream Sale, and reappeared at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Sale, summoning $570,000 after breezing in :10 1/5. She is a half to dual stakes winner Theperfectvow (Majesticperfection) and hails from the family of champion Banshee Breeze (Unbridled). Prenuptial Vow produced a filly by Super Saver in 2018 and was bred to Mendelssohn this season.
