Blue Point’s TDN Rising Star Tiego The First Wins the Roland de Chambure

[Wandering Eyes]

Up in trip to seven furlongs for Sunday's Listed Prix Roland de Chambure at Deauville, Magne Jordanger and Finn Blichfeldt's TDN Rising Star Tiego The First (Fr) (Blue Point {Ire}–Kotama {Fr}, by Siyouni {Fr}) needed every bit of the new trip to register his black-type breakthrough.

Held up early by Mickael Barzalona behind the pace set by the British raider Assertively (Ire) (Acclamation {Fr}), the Pia and Joakim Brandt-trained 19-10 favourite got that long-time leader just in time for a short-head success, with Madero (Fr) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) a head back in third.

Having earned TDN Rising Star status on debut over six in the Prix Hunyade at Saint-Cloud in May, Tiego The First's subsequent defeat at Chantilly last month led to a sense of anti-climax so this was a welcome resurgence. He is currently the last known foal out of the dam, who was second in this track's Listed Prix Yacowlef and is a half-sister to the G3 Prix Edmond Blanc runner-up and G2 Prix du Muguet third Kokaltash (Fr) (Haafhd {GB}) from the family of High Chaparral (Ire) (Sadler's Wells) and the G1 Prix de Diane heroine Fancy Blue (Ire) (Deep Impact {Jpn}).
