Earthlight’s Half Brother Stays Unbeaten For Godolphin

[Wandering Eyes]

As a half-brother to the G1 Prix Morny and G1 Middle Park Stakes-winning sire Earthlight (Ire), the Charlie Appleby-trained Shadow Of Light (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}–Winters Moon {Ire}, by New Approach {Ire}) has a lot of baggage to carry but the way he went two-for-two at Newmarket on Friday bodes well for his future. Successfully introduced at Yarmouth last month, the 8-11 favourite was able to travel easily behind the pace throughout the early stages of this six-furlong novice before taking command two out. Pushed out by Harry Bentley to assert, the homebred had two lengths to spare over Wathnan Racing's €550,000 Arqana May Breeze Up purchase Realign (Fr) (Blue Point {Ire}) at the line.

Smart performance

The Group 1-entered 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰 𝐎𝐟 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 makes light of a penalty to maintain his unbeaten record and provide @HarryBentley_ with a first winner since returning from Hong Kong.@godolphin | @NewmarketRace pic.twitter.com/HU9zIw4JEJ
