Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 12, 2024 Journalists Posted September 12, 2024 In deeper than when beating up lesser lights on home soil, Godolphin's TDN Rising Star Desert Flower (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}–Promising Run, by Hard Spun) proved that she had what it takes to continue her winning sequence in Doncaster's G2 Betfred May Hill Stakes on Thursday. Untroubled in two starts on Newmarket's July Course, the Charlie Appleby-trained even-money favourite followed the early pace with William Buick content to play the waiting game. Staying on strongly to take control passing the furlong pole, the daughter of the four-time group 2 winner kept finding on the run to the line to beat Ballydoyle's Listed Churchill Stakes scorer January (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) by 1 1/2 lengths, with Flight (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}) 3/4 of a length away in third. “She looked around in front and had plenty in reserve,” Buick said. “The obvious race now is the Fillies' Mile, but Charlie and the team will make the decision. She has a bit of energy flowing through her, but no badness.” A lucky escape for Ryan Moore and Ecstatic out of the stalls in the May Hill! https://t.co/h4j7YeQG0m pic.twitter.com/w297QFhKsd — At The Races (@AtTheRaces) September 12, 2024 The post May Hill Success For Night Of Thunder’s Unbeaten Desert Flower appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
