Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 10 Journalists Posted July 10 The Godolphin-Appleby-Buick triumvirate was in celebratory mood for a third time on the opening day of Newmarket's July Festival after TDN Rising Star Opera Ballo (Ghaiyyath) doubled his stakes tally with a decisive success in the Listed Edmondson Hall Solicitors Sir Henry Cecil Stakes. The €600,000 Arqana August graduate broke alertly and was steadied to track the leaders in fifth through halfway. Cruising forward on the bridle with a quarter-mile remaining, the 11-8 favourite was shaken up to assume command approaching the final furlong and kept on strongly in the closing stages to assert superiority in style. He was 2 3/4 lengths too good for Seagulls Eleven (Galileo Gold), with 1 1/2 lengths back to King Of Cities (Dubawi) in third. There's no doubt Opera Ball is a talent and he makes it four wins from five starts in the Listed Sir Henry Cecil Stakes on a memorable day for William Buick, Charlie Appleby and @godolphin pic.twitter.com/DAL2OBrxag — Racing TV (@RacingTV) July 10, 2025 The post Banner Day for Buick as TDN Rising Star Opera Ballo Wins the Henry Cecil appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
