WELLABLED FLIES HOME IN FUTURITY TEXAS CHROME SHOWS ATDN Rising Star@ Wellabled (Shackleford) displayed an HEART IN SUPER DERBY affinity for the Arlington synthetic with a second decisive score over that strip to become his freshman sire (by Forestry)=s first stakes winner. Quickest away from the stalls, the heavy favorite ticked off opening splits of :23.42 and :46.08 while pressed along by Star Empire (GB) (Foxwedge {Aus}).

AI=m not so sure about other surfaces, I took him to Saratoga and worked him on the dirt a couple of times and he didn=t seem to like it, that=s why I chose to run him on the turf. His breeding suggests he=ll run long.@ Purchased for $340,000 at the OBS April sale after a quarter-mile breeze in :20.2, Wellabled earned the ATDN Rising Star@ moniker after romping by 7 1/2 lengths in his five- furlong debut over this all-weather course July 9.

A three-time stakes winner at two at Lone Star, Arapahoe Park and at Remington Park, Texas Chrome made a belated sophomore debut with a solid third in the six-furlong Bachelor S. at Oaklawn Park Apr. 15. Far too tough for his fellow state-breds when running out a 10 1/2-length winner of the Texas Stallion S. in Dallas May 15, he finished an even third behind Gun Runner (Candy Ride {Arg}) in the GIII Matt Winn S. at Churchill Downs June 18 and returned on 13 days= rest to round out the exacta underneath subsequent GI Betfair.com Haskell Invitational S. and GI Travers S. second American Freedom (Pulpit) in the GIII Iowa Derby.

ASTERN GOOD AS GOLD ALMANZOR A The regard in which Astern (Aus) (Medaglia d'Oro) is held in the Godolphin camp was plain to see in the prolonged WORTHY CHAMPION celebrations of jockey James McDonald after Saturday=s A$1- million G1 Golden Rose S., which started before the colt had crossed the line victorious and continued all the way back down the walkway to the winner's enclosure. Beaten only once when down the field in last year's G1 Golden Slipper, Astern is now a five-time winner, with his most important triumph to date in Rosehill's G1 Golden Rose S. setting him up for a trip to Melbourne and a tilt at the G1 Caulfield Guineas on Oct. 8. Drawn in stall 12 of 14, race favourite Astern was taken back from the start by McDonald to settle in the second half of the pack as a fast first 200 metres slowed to a steadier tempo around the bend in the 1400-metre contest. Steering a wide berth off the turn, McDonald eased the colt to the front and kicked for home to leave his rivals toiling in his wake. Cont. in Worldwide News p21
