Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 29, 2024 Journalists Posted July 29, 2024 Putting an indifferent debut effort at The Curragh firmly behind him, Ballydoyle's Rock Of Cashel (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}–Best In The World {Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}) made all to take the often-informative seven-furlong maiden on the opening card of the Galway festival and become the stable's latest TDN Rising Star. Only eighth as the 7-4 favourite on Irish Derby day, the half-brother to the brilliant Snowfall (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) was quickly away under Wayne Lordan and placed straight on the front end. Harrassed throughout, the 3-1 joint-second favourite found plenty to assert in the straight and win what looked a warm renewal by 2 1/4 lengths from Admiral Churchill (GB) (Kodiac {GB}), with half a length back to Viking Invasion (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) in third. The winner is the eighth TDN Rising Star for his sire, with the best so far being stablemates Unquestionable (Fr) and River Tiber (Ire).
