American symbol (Gunman). ‘Rising star TDN’ nod.
Sold as a draft by dealer Denali Stud, the April foal brought in $400,000 from Maverick Racing, the buying arm of WinStar. He hit his career hit for WinStar Farm and Siena Farm in white WinStar silks on Sundays. The last horse loaded, American Icon shot like an arrow and ran a long distance in front of the yard through the lines: 22.75 and: 45.75. A trio of challengers loomed out of their turn, but American Icon slammed the door shut when asked by pilot Luis Saez. He poured it from there to end a visually impressive victory. Red line Overdrive (Nyquist), who broke poorly, closed to take second place. Similar connections are represented by ‘Rising Star’ Emmanuel (More than ready) at Gulfstream on December 11. American Idol is his third male production to become ‘The rising star.’
American Idol’s MSP Dam is the full sister to SW and GI Santa Anita Oaks Monday Tuesday Dawn (Sky Mesa). Sky America has a foal weaned by Runhappy and was covered by the victor’s king this spring. The third dam, The unraced Sunset Heat (Dixieland Band), is house sister to the Class III winner and male Dixieland Heat (Dixieland Band). The Sunset Heat let the winner of Group 2 Brazil be Estrela Byrnhild (Lion Cavern), who was also placed in G1 Roberto e Nelson Grimaldi Seabra.
