Saturday's G1 Cairn Community Games Pretty Polly Stakes served up a thriller, with Juddmonte's TDN Rising Star Bluestocking (GB) (Camelot {GB}–Emulous {GB}, by Dansili {GB}) running down Emily Upjohn (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) in the final yards for a top-level breakthrough. With abundant rain falling on The Curragh throughout the day, the Ralph Beckett-trained 4-year-old who was herself cruelly denied late in last year's Irish Oaks held the upper hand in terms of ground preference and traded as the 11-10 favourite as a result. Settled in mid-division early by Rossa Ryan, the homebred was left behind at the top of the straight as Kieran Shoemark set sail on the Gosdens' star en route to certain victory. Picking up as she had when the six-length winner of York's G2 Middleton Fillies' Stakes last month, Bluestocking ate up the ground to pass Emily Upjohn in the last 50 yards for a half-length success, with 3 3/4 lengths back to Content (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in third. “Today justified the decision to stay in training and we learnt a good deal about her on Irish Oaks day last year,” Beckett said. “We know now to hold on to her a bit longer and today is perfect recompense. It's all in front of us as well.” The post Camelot’s Bluestocking Wins Thrilling Pretty Polly appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Returning to the Curragh venue at which he made a remarkable debut last month, Ballydoyle's TDN Rising Star Jan Brueghel (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}–Devoted To You {Ire}, by Danehill Dancer {Ire}) had to endure his first fight to stretch his unbeaten record in Saturday's G3 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai International Stakes. What was left in the tank at the end of the 10-furlong contest after he had mastered the long-time leader Trustyourinstinct (Ire) (Churchill {Ire}) by a neck remains to be seen, but the manner in which the 8-13 favourite hit the line with ears pricked suggests there is an abundance to come. Ryan Moore had to cajole from some way out to get the eight-length maiden winner engaged in a tussle with that Joseph O'Brien trainee, but there was a sense of inevitability come the closing stages and ultimately Jan Brueghel had overcome understandable greenness and smart older horses to maintain his momentum.

Emulating stablemate Matrika (Ire) 12 months ago, Ballydoyle's TDN Rising Star Truly Enchanting (Ire) (No Nay Never–Alluringly, by Fastnet Rock {Aus}) made the quick turnaround from Royal Ascot to provide her sire with back-to-back winners of The Curragh's G2 Airlie Stud Stakes on Saturday. Unable to mix it with the fastest fillies when 13th in the five-furlong G2 Queen Mary Stakes, the descendant of Urban Sea (Miswaki) had the pace to lay up with fellow Ascot also-ran California Dreamer (GB) (Mehmas {Ire}) from the outset. Despite hanging towards that G3 Albany Stakes fifth, Ryan Moore's pick of the stable's trio finally got the better of her in the final 100 yards and asserted to score by half a length, with another of the Aidan O'Brien fillies January (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) 2 1/4 lengths back in third. “She got a little bit lost in the middle of the Queen Mary on fast ground, so it wasn't the right thing to do to send her there but she came out of it very well and of all our fillies Ryan thought that six with an ease in the ground would suit her best,” O'Brien explained. “She was very green, but Ryan said she wasn't near to the end of her and there was plenty in there–he said to just change her bit next time, as she was hanging right. Her bit is as soft as you can go, but she's probably taking advantage of it. No Nay Nevers handle soft ground and are tough, but he is a big influence for speed–she might get seven this year but it wouldn't be a surprise if next year she gets faster.” The post No Nay Never’s Truly Enchanting Best In The Airlie Stud appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Rockcliffe Stud's homebred Celandine (GB) (Kingman {GB}–Pepita {Ire}, by Sir Prancealot {Ire}) followed up a May 24 debut seventh at Goodwood with a breakthrough score at Windsor earlier this month and continued on a roll with a career high in Saturday's Listed Maureen Brittain Memorial Empress Fillies' Stakes at Newmarket. The Ed Walker trainee broke sharply from the stands' side stall and seized an immediate advantage in this black-type bow. In command throughout, the 9-1 chance came under pressure when threatened passing the quarter-mile marker and kept on strongly up the hill to easily account for Tales Of The Heart (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) and Arabian Dusk (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}) by 1 1/2 lengths and a neck. Pedigree Notes Celandine, who becomes the 82nd stakes winner for her sire, is the third of five foals and one of two scorers from as many runners out of Listed Maggie Dickson Stakes victrix and G3 Summer Stakes third Pepita (Ire) (Sir Prancealot {Ire}), herself kin to three black-type performers headed by stakes-winning G1 Criterium International third Redolent (Ire) (Redback {GB}). Descendants of her second dam Esterlina (Ire) (Highest Honor {Fr}) include G1 Flying Five runner-up Son Of Rest (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) and G2 Gimcrack Stakes second Johannes Brahms (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}). The March-foaled homebred bay, who hails from the family of G1 Irish 1000 Guineas heroine Forest Flower (Green Forest), is full to a yearling colt and half to a weanling filly by Starspangledbanner (Aus).

The Curragh's Barronstown Stud Irish EBF Maiden that opened Saturday's rain-hit card is a race with a rich history and despite the failure of Ballydoyle's trio to make the frame there was no reason to believe this year's renewal was not up to scratch. Emerging best was the Aga Khan's Hazdann (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}–Hazmiyra {Ire}, by Pivotal {GB}), who had no space to express himself in the straight when a non-representative ninth in the seven-furlong Gowran Park maiden won by Ballydoyle's The Parthenon (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) 13 days earlier. Always travelled strongly behind the leader Green Impact (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) off the moderate early tempo, the Dermot Weld-trained 10-1 shot loomed large two out and after seizing the advantage soon after comfortably held that rival to score by a neck. “I was going to ride him forward, but he was very green going to post so I changed tack and opted to ride him in the box seat,” jockey Chris Hayes said. “We walked early and he quickened up and got there without realising and then had one ear cocked. He was badly hampered out of the gates at Gowran and Leigh [Roche] said every door was closed in his face so he looked after him. He appreciated this slower ground and I think he's got a nice future. Princess Zahra is here as well, so it's nice he won. I'd like to mix it from seven furlongs to a mile with him.” The post Night Of Thunder Colt Best in the Barronstown Maiden appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
