Tasleet’s TDN Rising Star Bradsell Claims Nunthorpe Glory for Victorious Racing

[Wandering Eyes]

Victorious Racing's 2023 G1 King's Stand Stakes hero and 'TDN Rising Star' Bradsell (GB) (Tasleet {GB}–Russian Punch {GB}, by Archipenko), on an enforced sabbatical for 329 days after registering that career high, added to his comeback win in this month's Listed Prix du Cercle with a dominant performance in Friday's G1 Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe Stakes at York.

The 3-1 second favourite was swiftly into stride on the far wing and chased the trailblazing Ponntos (Ire) (Power {GB}) in second through the initial stages of this straight five-furlong dash. Easing to the front passing halfway, he was beyond recall entering the final furlong and kept on powerfully under a late Hollie Doyle drive to hold the chasing pack, headed by Believing (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), by 3/4-of-length. Course specialist Starlust (GB) (Zoustar {Aus}) was a head adrift in third, a neck in front of the fast-closing antipodean Asfoora (Aus) (Flying Artie {Aus}).

Pedigree Notes
Bradsell's catalogue page is light on black-type with his Listed Radley Stakes-winning dam Russian Punch (GB) (Archipenko) the only individual of note under the first four dams. Half-brother to a weanling filly by Oasis Dream (GB), he is the fourth of six live foals and one of two winners for his dam. The February-foaled bay's fourth dam Champenoise (GB) (Forzando {GB}), who hails from the family of Group 1-winning sires Mister Majestic (Ire) (Tumble Wind) and Homme De Loi (Ire) (Law Society), is out of a half-sister to G1 Irish 1000 Guineas and G1 Phoenix Stakes placegetter Run To Jenny (Ire) (Runnett {GB}) and G3 Child Stakes third Linda's Fantasy (Ire) (Raga Navarro {Ity}).
