Rising Star Sets Standard In Calumet Cup

Rising Star, Barnes Stable’s Breeders’ Cup heroine, lined up for a 1600m Calumet Cup qualifier for the first time and duly put herself in the picture for the end of season final with an impressive front-running display.

The Ouvatonsurcejeu filly is already qualified for the 1000m final but 1600m has always been her favored distance. She sets a high standard for the final and would undoubtedly be an appropriate flag-bearer for the Calumet Cup, which is Team Buzz’s foremost in-house competition.

With three rounds down and just one qualifying round left to come, the finals are beginning to take shape. With a maximum of twelve runners set to go in each event, not all participants will earn a place. The standings after the first three rounds are as follows:
