Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted February 14 Journalists Share Posted February 14 Following on from the eye-catching performance of Audubon Park (Fr) (Dubawi {Ire}) at Chantilly on Friday, the Yeguada Centurion homebred Tito Mo Cen (Ire) (Uncle Mo–Raven's Lady {GB}, by Raven's Pass) delivered the ultimate display of one-upmanship as he stormed to TDN Rising Star status in the colts' division. Dominating from the front throughout the 9 1/2-furlong Prix de la Grange de Commelles staged on the Polytrack, the Victoria Head-trained half-brother to the luminary Ramatuelle (Justify) really turned it on from two out and opened up to hit the line almost 1 1/2 seconds faster than the impressive filly who had earlier lit up the card. At the line, the 13-10 favourite had seven lengths to spare over Amilcare (Fr) (Wooded {Fr}), with another 2 1/2 lengths back to Salam Dubawi (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) in third to provide his recently-deceased and much-missed sire supreme with a 12th TDN Rising Star and first in Europe. Tito Mo Cen, who was steered to success by Stephane Pasquier, is the second foal out of the G2 Goldene Peitsche and G3 Summer Stakes winner Raven's Lady (GB) (Raven's Pass), with the first being the aforementioned Ramatuelle who boasts the G1 Prix de la Foret and G2 Prix Robert Papin on her resume as well as a third-place finish in the G1 1,000 Guineas and who was sold to M V Magnier for $5.1million at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky November Sale. Raven's Lady's unraced dam Pivotal Lady (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) is a half-sister to the G1 Prix d'Ispahan winner Best Of The Bests (Ire) (Machiavellian) out of the G3 Fred Darling Stakes winner Sueboog (Ire) (Darshaan {GB}), with the fourth dam being the high-class producer Nordica (Ire) (Northfields). Raven's Lady's 2-year-old colt Mr Lope Cen (Ire) is by Lope De Vega (Ire). Wow!
