After sweeping the juvenile Grade I features with 'TDN Rising Stars' Presented by Hagyard Tommy Jo (Into Mischief) in the Darley Alcibiades Stakes and Ted Noffey (Into Mischief) in the Claiborne Breeders' Futurity, Spendthrift Farm cut loose another potential player in the juvenile division when FURTHER ADO (c, 2, Gun Runner–Sky Dreamer, by Sky Mesa) shot away from his overmatched rivals to break his maiden by a jaw-dropping 20 lengths when making his first two-turn appearance Friday afternoon at Keeneland. For the effort, the striking chestnut colt earns 'Rising Star' honors of his own.The 12-5 favorite off a distant third-place effort to recent GI Champagne Stakes runner-up Talkin (Good Magic) going seven furlongs at Saratoga back on Aug. 30, the $275,000 Keeneland September yearling turned $550,000 OBS April breezer was dispatched as the 12-5 favorite and was ridden forward by Irad Ortiz, Jr. to press a solid early tempo just to the outside of the rail-drawn Brave Force (Gun Runner).Matching motors with that rival into the turn, Further Ado was allowed to stride into the lead at the quarter pole with his rider asking him for no effort whatsoever and the colt careered away impressively in the short stretch while covering the 8 1/2-furlong distance in a slick 1:43.52, the final sixteenth of a mile in around six seconds.Sales history: $275,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP; $550,000 2yo '25 OBSAPR.
