Thoroughbred Daily News August 8/8/25 – Alan Carasso
Klaravich Stables’ Deep Learning (Cairo Prince) sat a midfield trip while saving all the ground in Friday’s third race from Saratoga, hugged the fence into the lane, and when she was popped the question by Flavien Prat with better than a furlong to go, she left her rivals in the dust, careering away to graduate by a good three lengths to achieve ‘TDN Rising Star’ status.
Sent off favored at 2.35-1, the $27,000 Keeneland September buyback who blossomed into a $325,000 OBS April breezer (see below) was content to gain a foothold at the fence from centerfield as Beach Ballad (Omaha Beach) sped to the front from her rail draw and made the running in advance of an up-close Fraudster (Charlatan).
Going well within the grasp of Prat into the final half-mile, Deep Learning was held together on the bend and when an opening large enough to drive a tractor through materialized, Deep Thinking took full advantage, pinching ground before being angled away from the inside and, despite flip-flopping her leads back and forth and finishing on her incorrect leg, in fact, put the race to bed within a matter of strides to win as miles the best. The two horses that argued the early fractions finished second and third, respectively.
Klaravich also campaigns Cairo Prince‘s ‘TDN Rising Star’ son Ummatched Wisdom, himself a $25,000 KEESEP yearling who blossomed into a $450,000 OBS March 2-year-old.
