Song Of The Clyde
Albert Einstein Denied By Song Of The Clyde At Newbury

With Albert Einstein (Wootton Bassett) returning to sprinting in Saturday's Listed Carnarvon Stakes at Newbury, the expected fireworks display was postponed for now by the outsider Song Of The Clyde (Sergei Prokofiev) in a genuine upset. A journeyed two-year-old in 2025 with a win in York's Harry's Half Million his chief piece of form, the winner did have a major plus in his profile in that he hails from the Clive Cox stable which churns out top performers in this category year upon year with unerring proficiency. Dominating his small...

Extremely Zain
Hello Youmzain's Extremely Zain A New TDN Rising Star

Having shown freakish ability on debut at Newcastle in December, Extremely Zain (Hello Youmzain) didn't need to overly extend himself on Friday to become a TDN Rising Star, Presented by Hagyard. Sent off the 8-11 favourite for Newbury's seven-furlong novice, Sheikh Juma Dalmook Al Maktoum's relative of Lush Lashes (Galileo) was under hard restraint from Cieren Fallon and was openly resentful of that. Allowed to use his considerable stride in time to take control of the contest inside the final furlong, he was pushed out to score by a neck...

Alparslan Takes The Greenham, Guineas Run In The Balance

Sent off at 9-1 for Saturday's G3 Watership Down Stud Too Darn Hot Greenham Stakes, Alparslan (Dandy Man) belied the lack of market confidence to prevail in the 2,000 Guineas trial. Sent to the front by Clifford Lee, Mohamed Saeed Al Shehhi's Tattersalls Ireland Super Auction Sales Stakes winner who was sixth in the Dewhurst stayed on strongly to deny Zavateri (Without Parole) by a length. The winner's trainer Karl Burke is unsure whether to take the plunge at Newmarket in a fortnight. "It's a case of which Guineas to...

Maltese Cross (black)
Derby Bound Maltese Cross Another TDN Rising Star For Sea The Stars

Minutes after the sensational debut of I'm The One at Newbury, Sea The Stars was pinged back into the spotlight as his son Maltese Cross provided him with a quickfire double of TDN Rising Stars, Presented by Hagyard. While his narrow win lacked the visual panache of that provided by the filly who preceded him, George Waud's Newmarket maiden winner who represents the same Camelot cross was winning a competitive renewal of this Darley EBF Novice Stakes which boasts such a rich history. "I thought this was a strong race...

Synchronicity
Night Of Thunder's Synchronicity A New TDN Rising Star

There was a buzz about Ombudsman's sister Synchronicity ahead of Friday's seven-furlong debutantes' event at Newbury and it was all very straightforward as she provided Night Of Thunder with his sixth TDN Rising Star, Presented by Hagyard. "It's the manner in which she did it, it was all was very smooth and she got there very easily," jockey Kieran Shoemark said. "Her gallop out impressed me the most, she was strong through the line and she's exciting. She has such an economical way of going and goes through the gears with...

My Ophelia
Bloom And McAleavy's Millionaire My Ophelia A New TDN Rising Star

Unbelievably, there was a more expensive yearling purchase than My Ophelia (Wootton Bassett) in Saturday's mile novice at Newbury but it was Tony Bloom and Ian McAleavy's 1.7million gns Tattersalls October Book 1 sensation who emerged as the TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard. While the William Haggas-trained half-sister to the top-flight performers My Prospero (Iffraaj), My Oberon (Dubawi) and My Astra (Lope De Vega) played second fiddle to Alpinista's sister Alpinara (Frankel) at that auction, she was the one making headlines on the track as she rewarded even-money favouritism...
