TDN Rising Star presented by Hagyard

Cayton Park Stud's homebred I'm The One (Sea The Stars), who skipped an engagement at Great Yarmouth last weekend, justified market confidence in Friday's Dreweatts Maiden Fillies' Stakes at Newbury by delivering a dazzling TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard, performance in the 10-furlong contest. The John and Thady Gosden trainee, a G1 Oaks entry, follows in the hoofprints of Clarehaven luminaries Lah Ti Dar and Star Catcher, who also annexed this important staging post. Others to have prevailed include Oaks heroines Eswarah and Dancing Rain. "A trial for the...

The King and Queen's hitherto unraced Portcullis (Frankel) was weak in the betting market prior to Thursday's Betway Wood Ditton Maiden Stakes at Newmarket and made a mockery of his 7-1 odds by delivering a stunning performance to earn TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard, status in the storied one-mile contest. "He was a little lost leaving the gate, but he picked up and travelled well," said John Gosden. "Ryan [Moore] said he found a nice rhythm and he left him alone. It's obviously pleasing to win like that and...

Andre Fabre nominee Segall (Sottsass) had failed in three starts since attaining TDN Rising Star status at Saint-Cloud in June, but bounced back from a reversal in last month's Listed Prix Maurice Caillault to secure the trainer's record-extending tenth renewal in Sunday's G3 Prix La Force at ParisLongchamp.

Yeguada Centurion's homebred Wootton Centurion (Wootton Bassett), who earned a TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard, with a six-length romp at Chantilly in September, returned to the scene of that debut triumph to record a narrow victory and retain his perfect record in Thursday's Prix de la Croix de Pontarme. Sent into an immediate lead once again, the 29-10 second choice was headed by 1-2 favourite Lord Clover (Siyouni) soon after passing the furlong marker and rallied gamely under continued rousting to deny that rival by a head in the...
