Darley America's former 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard and G1 Dubai World Cup hero Mystic Guide (Ghostzapper–Music Note, by A.P. Indy) was represented by his first winner when the filly Seraph (Kor) debuted with a seven-length victory in a Class 6 handicap in Friday's opening race at Busan in the southern part of South Korea.Sent off the 8-5 favorite to open her account at first asking, the April 9 foal was in front at the end of the first 100 meters and made the running just off the inside beneath Francisco da Silva. Firmly in control entering the straight, Seraph pinched a big break and finished up on her incorrect lead, but proved a much-the-best winner (see below, #6).The filly is the first foal out of Closing Deals (Central Banker), who was sold to breeder Lee Kwang Lim for $8,500 at the 2023 Keeneland November Sale. A daughter of the stakes-placed Spirit of Rose (City Zip), Closing Deals is kin to five other winners, including SP Zipalong (Central Banker) and MSP Thorny Tale (Forty Tales).Trained by Mike Stidham for owner and breeder Godolphin, Mystic Guide was named a 'Rising Star' when graduating by five lengths in his first start around two turns in early 2020 and made the GII Jim Dandy Stakes the first of his three career scores at the graded level. The blaze-faced chestnut kicked off his 4-year-old season with a six-length romp in the GIII Razorback Handicap, then took his show on the road, annexing the 2021 Dubai World Cup by 3 3/4 lengths. Mystic Guide retired with a record of 4-3-2 from nine starts for earnings of $7,593,200.A son of five-time Grade I winner Music Note, Mystic Guide is a half-brother to Grade III winner Gershwin (Distorted Humor) and a full-brother to the stakes-placed Love Song. Music Note is a half-sister to French Classic heroine Musical Chimes (In Excess {Ire}), also a top-level winner in the U.S.Mystic Guide is responsible for a reported 101 2-year-olds from his first crop.
