Mother Mother was named the latest TDN Rising Star following her 6 1/2-length maiden special weight score at Del Mar on July 22 (VIDEO).

The 3-year-old Pioneerof the Nile filly earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 87 after covering the six furlongs in 1:10.78 for trainer Bob Baffert and an ownership group led by George Bolton.

Mother Mother was bred in Kentucky by T. F. VanMeter and is a half-sister to 2014 Kentucky Derby (G1) runner-up Commanding Curve. 

Pioneerof the Nile is the sire of a dozen stakes horses to date in 2018, including Princess of the Nyl, who won the Washington Oaks on Sunday as well.
