Nash Rises to the Occasion, Stamps Himself as a TDN Rising Star
The seventh race at Churchill Downs on Sunday left spectators with no unanswered questions after Nash, with Florent Geroux in the saddle, glided to victory by an impressive 10 1/4-length margin. Sent off as the second betting choice behind GISP Be You, Nash dominated the competition effortlessly, solidifying his position as a TDN Rising Star in the process.
The Godolphin homebred wasted no time in taking the lead and never looked back, setting fractions of :23.83 for the opening quarter and :47.93 for the half. Even as he approached the quarter pole, Nash showed no signs of slowing down, and once he was unleashed in the stretch, there was no catching him. Commentators could not contain their excitement as Nash sealed the win in commanding fashion, with longshot Justifreak finishing in second place.
Prior to this jaw-dropping performance, Nash had finished fifth in his career debut at Keeneland. However, any doubts about his potential were put to rest as he crossed the finish line in style at Churchill Downs, leaving the favorite finishing in a distant fifth place.
Nash’s origins are equally as impressive as his performance, being out of three-time graded winner Sara Louise and a half to the likes of Sara Street and Mrs. Hudson. Subsequent to Sunday’s victory, the mare produced a colt by Street Sense in 2022 and was bred back to Nyquist this season.
The electrifying victory drew praise from the racing community, with TVG capturing the thrilling moment and commentators remarking on Nash’s stunning performance. With this exceptional display of talent and speed, Nash has undoubtedly secured his status as a rising star in the world of horse racing, leaving fans and experts alike eagerly awaiting his next appearance.
