Resolute Racing's LA RASCASSE (f, 3, Authentic–Hallawallah, by Candy Ride {Arg}) lost the lead inside the final furlong to fellow first-time starter Belle (Uncle Mo), but the 6-1 chance dug down determinedly and had her head in front at the conclusion of a hot-looking maiden special weight Saturday afternoon at Keeneland. The effort was good for 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard honors.One of the first into stride from her high draw, the $750,000 Keeneland September yearling was content to chase from a three-wide berth from third and cruised up to the top two under a long hold from Axel Concepcion at the quarter pole.Confidently handled into the stretch, she was confronted soon after by Belle, who was off slowly and hard-ridden to take closer order turning for home, and the two matched motors into the final eighth of a mile. The latter sustained her momentum and was clearly in front with a sixteenth of a mile to race, but La Rascasse would not lie down at the fence and battled on bravely to prevail narrowly. It was a yawning gap back to the well-backed second-time starter Al Ghadeer (Gun Runner) in third, with favored Right Timing (Not This Time) a troubled fourth.Sales history: $750,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP.
