The Coolmore partners' G1 Fillies' Mile heroine Precise (Starspangledbanner) has been awarded a mark of 113p by Timeform for her Newmarket heroics. She leads the rankings for her age and sex, with Aidan O'Brien stablemate and G1 Cheveley Park Stakes winner True Love (No Nay Never) is second at 111. G1 Prix Morny victress Venetian Sun (Starman) is third for Karl Burke at 110p, while another O'Brien runner, G1 Prix Marcel Boussac winner Diamond Necklace (St Mark's Basilica) is fourth at 109p. Group winner and G1 Moyglare Stud Stakes second Beautify (Wootton Bassett) and Cheveley Park Stakes runner-up Havana Anna (Havana Grey) share a rank of 108. Precise ranks below wide-margin Fillies Mile winners and subsequent G1 1000 Guineas heroines Desert Flower (Night Of Thunder) (118) and Minding (Galileo) (121). Timeform handicapper Simon Baker said, “Aidan O'Brien tightened his stranglehold on the division by winning a third Group 1 for two-year-old fillies inside two weeks, and Precise's win in the Fillies' Mile looks a superior effort to those that saw True Love win the Cheveley Park and Diamond Necklace the Marcel Boussac. “There are only a few pounds in it either way, though, and with big-priced runners completing the placings, it's hard to rate this as a vintage Fillies' Mile, allowing that Precise won it with her ears pricked, looking value for at least another length.” The post Precise Leads Timeform’s Juvenile Filly Rankings appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Left out of most equations following his fourth in the Champagne, Yuesheng Zhang's Gewan (Night Of Thunder) bounced back in style on unseasonably quick ground to cause a 25-1 upset in Saturday's G1 Darley Dewhurst Stakes. Always in the front line under James Doyle, the Andrew Balding-trained grey who had earlier won the Acomb at York drifted over to the stand's rail but maintained his momentum to deny Ballydoyle's well-backed 7-4 favourite Gstaad (Starspangledbanner) by 3/4 of a length. Godolphin's Distant Storm (Night Of Thunder) was 1 1/2 lengths away in third. “The Champagne was on slow ground and he moved beautifully on the way to post–he has a nice, flowing action so I can see why soft ground at Doncaster didn't suit him,” James Doyle said. “He is very straightforward to deal with and he found an early rhythm, which is so important on this track.” “He really whooshed down into the dip and I let him flow down into it as Kieren Fallon says he used to like doing,” he added. “Track is fine and a mile will be fine, so the Guineas is there for him–he's very uncomplicated and has ticks in all the boxes.” The post Dewhurst Glory For Night Of Thunder’s Gewan appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Sheikh Mohammed Obaid's Listed Flying Scotsman runner-up Hankelow (Night Of Thunder) exhibited an unflinching attitude and led from pillar to post for a career high in Saturday's G3 Emirates Autumn Stakes at Newmarket, a contest won last year by subsequent G1 Eclipse and G1 Irish Champion hero Delacroix (Dubawi). The 750,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 graduate and 5-2 favourite broke sharply and gained immediate control of this straight one-mile test. In command throughout, he was scrubbed along as threats loomed in both sides approaching the quarter-mile marker and stayed on powerfully under a drive from the foot of the hill to hold the keen-running Al Zanati (Dubawi) by 1 1/4 lengths in game fashion. Glacius (Too Darn Hot) fared best of the rest and finished a head adrift in a blanket finish for the minor placings. Pedigree Notes Hankelow is the third of four foals and becomes the second black-type winner out of Listed Upavon Fillies' Stakes runner-up Sagaciously (Lawman), herself a half-sister to the dam of G1 Prix Morny, G1 Middle Park Stakes and G1 Commonwealth Cup winner Perfect Power (Ardad), last month's Middle Park hero Wise Approach (Mehmas) and Listed Chesham Stakes third Golden Mind (Galileo Gold). The January-foaled bay is full to a yearling colt and a half-brother to multiple Group 2-placed Listed Prix Pelleas victor Epic Poet (Lope De Vega) and Listed Prix Melisande third La Filomena (Lope De Vega).
