Too Darn Hot (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) will line up in the G1 Dewhurst S. at Newmarket on Oct. 13, trainer John Gosden announced on Wednesday. The 'TDN Rising Star' is unbeaten in three outings, and was last seen taking the G2 Champagne S. at Doncaster on Sept. 15.
“We have been pleased with him since he won the Champagne S. at Doncaster and are very much looking forward to the Dewhurst,” said Gosden of the Lord and Lady Lloyd-Webber-owned 2-year-old.
Among Too Darn Hot's expected Dewhurst opposition are Ballydoyle's Anthony Van Dyck (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), G1 Keeneland Phoenix S. winner Advertise (GB) (Showcasing {GB}) and 'TDN Rising Star' and listed winner Sangarius (GB) (Frankel {GB}). Godolphin's 'TDN Rising Star' and G1 Goffs Vincent O'Brien National S. winner Quorto (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) was expected for the Dewhurst, but trainer Charlie Appleby revealed on Wednesday that he would be put away with next year's G1 2000 Guineas in mind.
“The 2000 Guineas has always been the long-term plan, and following discussions with His Highness Sheikh Mohammed, we have decided to put him away for the year,” the trainer said.
