Living up to both his price tag and his recent workouts, Prince of Monaco (Speightstown–Rainier by Medaglia d’Oro) earned ‘TDN Rising Star’ billing as the 2-year-old poured on the speed at Los Alamitos on Sunday afternoon en route to a maiden-breaking victory for trainer Bob Baffert. Off at 1-20 for this debut, the $950,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Select graduate broke a touch awkwardly from his wide draw in this compact field, but soon seized the lead heading into the far turn. Opening up at the top of the lane, the dark bay colt cruised along and extended his margin to eight lengths under a hand ride by jockey Juan Hernandez. Lord Bullingdon (Lord Nelson) at 18-1 odds was second.
