Too Darn Hot’s Postmodern A New TDN Rising Star For Wathnan

[Wandering Eyes]

There were a few likely types in Yarmouth's six-furlong novice on Thursday and one clear-cut winner in Too Darn Hot's newcomer Postmodern who surged to TDN Rising Star status. Contained initially by Jamie Spencer, Wathnan's 270,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 purchase tanked his way to the front before getting past the first two furlongs. Asked to extend with every rival covered a furlong from home, the Hamad Al Jehani-trained 18-5 second favourite powered clear for an emphatic five-length success. Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum's 500,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 buy Amorim by Havana Grey was the closest at the line, but treading water behind the half-brother to Muhaarar's GII Pegasus World Cup Filly and Mare Turf Invitational Stakes winner Be Your Best.

“He left the gates smarter than I wanted, but he pricked his ears in front and I was still taking him back at the furlong pole,” Spencer said, while the trainer added, “He's a nice horse and we were educating him today. He has a nice turn of foot and hopefully we'll see him in a big race next.”

We may have just seen something very special!
