Zedan Racing Stables’ Coach Prime is grabbing attention on the main track following a strong performance, earning the title of ‘TDN Rising Star’ at Del Mar. The colt, who was acquired for a substantial $1.7 million at last year’s Keeneland September sale, showcased promise during his latest race. Despite a rough start from gate nine, Coach Prime demonstrated resilience and skill as he powered away from his competitors to secure an impressive victory. Even as he was shuffled back into sixth position, Coach Prime remained poised for a strong finish, ultimately graduating by a resounding 7 1/4 lengths.
The significance of the colt’s pedigree is not lost on enthusiasts, as he is the offspring of Act Now, a successful half-sister to The Right Path, a stakes-placed mare purchased for $150,000 in foal to Kitten’s Joy at the Keeneland January Sale. Furthermore, Coach Prime’s dam has continued to produce offspring, including a yearling colt by Union Rags. The colt’s trainer, Bob Baffert, also holds a reputable place in the industry. With Zedan Racing Stables cheering Coach Prime on, this burgeoning racing talent is poised to capture the attention of both fans and experts alike.
