Omaha Beach Filly Runs To the Money and Earns a ‘Rising Star’ at the Spa

With the Angels (f, 2, Omaha Beach–Sister Margaret, by Pulpit) was accorded a 6-1 chance on the morning line for Thursday’s state-bred opener from Saratoga, but she was well-tried in the market and ultimately made even-money look like a gift in a debut romp that was worthy of the ‘TDN Rising Star’ designation.

Having breezed an eighth of a mile in :9 4/5 before selling to agent Justin Casse for $350,000 at this year’s OBS April Sale, the dark bay filly–who fetched $65,000 at last year’s Fasig-Tipton Saratoga New York-Bred Sale–worked equally well over a conventional dirt surface and signaled her readiness for this assignment with a half-mile hit-out from that gate that was timed in :47 flat over a ‘good’ strip Aug. 16.

Drawn wide, With the Angels hit the ground running beneath Jose Ortiz and went along in hand through an opening couple of furlongs in :22.51. Maintaining a safe distance on her rivals rounding the turn, she passed the quarter pole in :45.62, went farther in front with every stride while never feeling the crop and had 11 1/2 lengths on the well-meant Stone Smuggler (Honest Mischief) after six furlongs in a snappy 1:10.40. Princess Mischief (Honest Mischief) was clearly last from the stalls, but gained ground down the backstretch and sustained a long run to round out the triple at 29-1. The winner’s part owner Sheila Rosenblum was represented Wednesday by Sacrosanct (Honest Mischief).

With the Angels is a half-sister to Maggy’s Palace (Palace Malice), a latest second in the Johnstone Mile Handicap here Aug. 7, and her dam is the lone produce from Dance Gal Dance, winner of four state-bred stakes and a full-sister to the dual black-type winner Dr Disco. The third dam Dr Margaret, victorious in stakes races at Suffolk Downs, Rockingham Park and Pimlico, was responsible for Dr. Capote (Capote), whose Massachusetts-bred son Dr Blarney (Dublin) took 27 of his 45 career trips to the post.

Sister Margaret is also represented by a colt foal by Twirling Candy and was most recently bred to Street Sense. With the Angels is the second ‘Rising Star’ for Omaha Beach.
