Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted 10 hours ago Journalists Share Posted 10 hours ago Owen Burrows is renowned for his Sir Michael Stoute-like patience with the yard's leading prospects, but he may not have to wait as long as usual with his exciting new recruit Falakeyah (GB) (New Bay {GB}–Alaflaak, by War Front) lighting up a dour Thursday afternoon at Wolverhampton. A granddaughter of the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf heroine Lahudood (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}) from the family of the stable's luminary Hukum (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) and his brilliant full-brother Baaeed (GB), Shadwell's blueblood was a warm order at even-money for the first division of the extended mile maiden. Quickly making up for a tardy start to travel easily in mid-division for Jim Crowley, the February-foaled bay cruised to the fore approaching the furlong pole with the motor still idling before being shaken up to assert her superiority. Hitting the line with 5 1/2 lengths to spare over Life Is Rosie (GB) (Lightning Spear {GB}), she became the third TDN Rising Star for her sire whose others Alcantor (Fr) and New Energy (Ire) proved group 1 performers. “The hardest thing was pulling her up–she wanted to go round again! She did it very professionally,” Crowley said. “She's a forward-going filly and, mentally, the more racing the better she'll be. It looks like we'll have a bit of fun with her next year.” Eye-catcher! Falakeyah is impressive on debut as she powers home at @WolvesRaces for @JimCrowley1978 and @OwenBurrowsRace… pic.twitter.com/GVBG3rGh4B — At The Races (@AtTheRaces) November 21, 2024 The post Shadwell Blueblood A New TDN Rising Star For New Bay appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
