Curlin’s Rabeeba Remains Unbeaten in Torrey Pines

---

Michael Lund Petersen’s Rabeeba kicked into gear late to win the GIII Torrey Pines Stakes going away and take her lifetime record to a perfect three-for-three at Del Mar Sunday. The even-money favorite sat just behind a wall of three pacesetters in a bunched up field through fractions of :23.39 and :46.96. Tipped out three wide for running room approaching the stretch, Rabeeba was niggled on by jockey Juan Hernandez, but looked to be idling as She’s No Quant asserted control in upper stretch. Rabeeba eventually found her best stride inside the final furlong and sailed on by to win by 2 1/4 lengths.

“She’s never been behind horses and she didn’t break that well, so [Hernandez] didn’t want to send her out there and go too fast,” said winning trainer Bob Baffert. “She’s learning. We’ve been taking baby steps with her. She’s a big filly and Juan said he had to get her in gear again, so it shows the class is there. She was running against an experienced, nice group of fillies here.”

Hernandez added, “This filly was a little green. She got dirt in her face for the first time and I don’t think she liked it. She’s a big filly and she wanted to go today. I had to work with her to get here in the right spots, but in the end it was OK.”

A debut winner going 6 1/2 furlongs at Los Alamitos June 19, Rabeeba was most recently a front-running winner of a July 26 optional claimer over the Torrey Pine’s track and distance.

Pedigree Notes:

Rabeeba, a half-sister to Group 1 winner Air Force Blue (War Front), was purchased for $750,000 at the 2024 Keeneland September sale. Her dam, Chatham, who was purchased by Arthur Hancock as a 5-year-old for $190,000 at the 2009 Keeneland November sale, produced a colt by Good Magic in 2025, had no foal in 2026, and was bred back to Twirling Candy.

Juddmonte purchased Rabeeba’s 2-year-old full-brother for $450,000 at this year’s OBS April sale. Named Stone Aged, the chestnut was sixth in his 6 1/2-furlong debut at Saratoga Aug. 8.

The winner’s third dam, Starlet Storm (Storm Bird), produced champion Flanders (Seeking the Gold), the dam of champion Surfside.

Olympiad Colt Jaded Comes From the Clouds To Earn ‘Rising Star’ Honors

---

D J Stable LLC’s Jaded (c, 2, Olympiad–Lady Pewitt, by Orientate) came with a sustained rally and bridged a double-digit deficit in the Sunday finale at Kentucky Downs, getting his nose down right on the money to defeat the well-regarded 4-5 favorite Roosevelt (Golden Pal) to earn ‘TDN Rising Star’ presented by Hagyard honors.

A $250,000 Keeneland September acquisition, the chestnut–a half-brother to the same ownership’s Eclipse Award-winning 2-year-old filly Jaywalk (Cross Traffic)–found himself a country mile behind through the early exchanges and raced with only two of his rivals behind him as 12-1 Job (Life Is Good) took up the running after the opening quarter of a mile. Roosevelt, looking to become a third new winner for his sire on the afternoon, was set a similarly tall task while racing a few lengths ahead of the quietly ridden Jaded and considerably wider on the course passing midway.

Job was maintaining the gallop through a half-mile in :46.02 and took the field into the final two furlongs, but both Jaded closer to the fence, and Roosevelt deep out, were making eye-catching headway with an eighth of a mile to the wire. Roosevelt looked as if he was going to seal the deal and appeared to have all the momentum to reel in the long-time leader, but Alex Concepcion angled Jaded into the clear and off the heels of Job with only yards remaining and he sliced through in the nick of time in a photo that took the judges several minutes to decipher.

Jaded is the eighth winner from the first crop of Olympiad (by Speightstown).

In addition to Jaywalk (MGISW, $1,668,500), champion of her generation in 2018 and now a winner producer in Japan, Jaded is a half-brother to Danzatrice (Dunkirk), MSW & GSP, $312,145, the dam of Grade I-winning ‘TDN Rising Star’ presented by Hagyard Tapit Trice (Tapit) and to the dams of SW Jupiter (Upstart) and SP Abdul (Tapit). The third dam includes MGSW/MGISP sire Mission Impazible (Unbridled’s Song) and the graded winners Spanish Empire (Pleasant Colony) and Forest Camp (Deputy Minister).

Lady Pewitt, a daughter of the late Gainesway stalwart Orientate, is the dam of Jaded’s yearling full-brother and was most recently covered by Seize the Grey.
