Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 19, 2024 Journalists Share Posted October 19, 2024 Saturday's card at Leopardstown offered many clues to the 2025 Classics and it may have saved the best until last as Ballydoyle's Twain (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}–Wading {Ire}, by Montjeu {Ire}) became his sire's 10th TDN Rising Star in the closing seven-furlong maiden. Sent straight to the front by Mark Crehan, the son of the G2 Rockfel Stakes winner stayed on the rail as all others opted to race wide and surrender ground for a better racing surface. Turning for home with a sizeable advantage, the 28-1 shot kept galloping powerfully through the testing ground to register a six-length defeat of stablemate Mississippi River (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) who denied the third Rosegreen runner and 15-8 favourite Serengeti (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) by a head. Remember the name! Twain, a colt by Wootton Bassett, defies market weakness on debut to score in the style of a horse with a huge future. He led home a 1-2-3 for @Ballydoyle @LeopardstownRC pic.twitter.com/DCwNOc5hF8 — Racing TV (@RacingTV) October 19, 2024 The post TDN Rising Star Number 10 For Wootton Bassett As Ballydoyle’s Twain Impresses appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
