    • Coming into Friday's G2 Joel Stakes a colt on the rise, Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum's Zeus Olympios (Night Of Thunder) emerged from the mile feature with unbeaten record intact and reputation firmly enhanced. Delivered by Clifford Lee to upstage Godolphin's 4-5 market-leader Opera Ballo (Ghaiyyath) heading out of the dip, the 2-1 second favourite who had taken the G3 Superior Mile earlier this month drew away to score by 2 1/4 lengths. “The Godolphin horse settled better than we did early on and had first run on us, so he's obviously a good horse,” trainer Karl Burke said. “He arrived to us at the end of last year and had a little injury as soon as he came, but sometimes with those immature two-year-olds with stress fractures it can be a blessing in disguise as they can really develop and strengthen.” “The Night Of Thunders that I have had can be a little bit fragile as two-year-olds and he's over all that now and moving really well. He came with a bit of a reputation from Roger [Varian]'s, but we were working with the handbrake on until we knew he had an engine [on debut] at Kempton.” “It's been small stepping stones all the way, but next year with that big turn of foot I would imagine we'll start off in the Lockinge and go from there. The owner has Rosallion in the QEII next month, so I would think he won't go there but I will have to speak to Sheikh Mohammed Obaid.” The post ‘He’s Obviously A Good Horse’: Burke Thinking Big With Night Of Thunder’s Unbeaten Zeus Olympios appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Victorious Forever's Simon and Ed Crisford trainee Zanthos (Sioux Nation), a €1-million Arqana Breeze-Up sale graduate, attained TDN Rising Star status in the colours of KHK Racing at Newmarket's July course in August and rebounded off a second behind Touleen (Lope De Vega) earlier in the month to make all for a career high in Friday's G2 BoyleSports Home Of Early Payout Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket. “We just said to Oisin [Murphy] to keep her happy and let her use her stride,” explained Ed Crisford. “I thought she was maybe doing a bit too much in the early part, but she was travelling so well. I was a bit nervous the last half-furlong, but she stuck on well and she's a classy filly. We didn't realise the pace was going to be that slow [at Leicester last time], we'd tried to do something different and it turned into a two-furlong sprint. Whether that suited Touleen that day I'm not sure, but we put our filly behind and she was doing too much. Oisin told us to put a line through the race and to move on, so we were confident we were going to run well today, but maybe not beat the Leicester winner. She's obviously a very talented filly with a lot of ability and hopefully she can turn into a proper filly.” Looking ahead, Crisford added, “We always felt she'd definitely stay a mile, but today it looked like she was tying up coming up the hill. The sensible thing is probably to put her away [for the season] and bring her back for a [G3] Fred Darling or a [G3] Nell Gwyn in the spring and see where we go from there. We always felt she would stay a mile, the riders at home felt she would stay a mile and Oisin feels she could stay a mile. She's a good quality filly and an exciting filly for next year.” Breaking smartly and racing in isolation with a clear advantage underneath the stands' side rail until well beyond halfway, the 15-2 chance was never seriously threatened and maintained a high tempo in the closing stages to withstand the late threat of The Prettiest Star (Starman) by a half-length for a black-type breakthrough. Pedigree Notes Zanthos, a half-sister to the dual stakes-placed Bakhchisaray (Motivator), is the latest of six reported foals and one of four scorers from as many runners produced by the dual stakes-placed Brioniya (Pivotal), herself a half-sister to G2 Ridgewood Pearl Stakes victrix Beshaayor (Iffraaj) and to the dam of stakes-winning G2 Mill Reef Stakes runner-up La Bellota (Mehmas). The May-foaled chestnut's second dam, the miltiple Group-placed Listed Pipalong Stakes and Listed Bosra Sham Fillies' Stakes victrix Bahia Breeze (Mister Baileys), is a half-sister to the dams of G2 Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte victrix Classic Flower (Calyx) and the dual stakes-placed duo Rock On Baileys (Rock Of Gibraltar) and Orchid Bloom (Farhh).       The post Sioux Nation’s TDN Rising Star Zanthos Makes All for Rockfel Triumph at HQ appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
