Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 13, 2024 Journalists Posted July 13, 2024 It was a case of business as usual at Newmarket on Saturday with Charlie Appleby saddling his fifth G2 Superlative Stakes winner in TDN Rising Star Ancient Truth (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}–Beyond Reason {Ire}, by Australia {GB}). Having won on debut over six furlongs on the Rowley Mile in May and over this seven-furlong trip and course last month, the 4-6 favourite faced a depleted field with three non-runners and had to wait behind rivals early as William Buick anchored him under cover. Picking up impressively to take control approaching the furlong pole, the homebred readily asserted to score by 1 1/2 lengths from Seagulls Eleven (Ire) (Galileo Gold {GB}), with two lengths back to Wimbledon Hawkeye (GB) (Kameko) in third. “It's what we were hoping to see, but it wasn't very easy for him–he had to come back and around them and then quicken up and he had a look in front ,” Buick explained. “Hopefully he'll follow in some of the others' footsteps, as this race has served Charlie so well.” Appleby added, “A stronger gallop will be better for him. There was no pace in the race, but I told William to ride him like a good horse. He'll get a mile and we'll look at the [G1] National Stakes now.” Wow!
