Juddmonte’s Publish Graduates in Ruling Court Maiden at Sandown

[Wandering Eyes]

Juddmonte homebred Publish (Kingman) was an unlucky-in-running debut second going seven furlongs at Sandown earlier in the month and returned over the same strip to shed maiden status with a bristling display in Thursday's Martin Densham & Peter Deal Memorial British EBF Maiden Stakes. The contest's honour roll includes Kameko in 2019 and Ruling Court last year.

“They didn't go overly mad in front early, so I let him build into his gears and, once he knuckled down and got organised, he hit the line well,” said winning rider James Doyle.

Sent forward from third to lead along the rail after the opening exchanges, the 4-7 favourite was shaken up when tackled by Catullus (Invincible Spirit) passing the quarter-mile marker and kept on strongly under stern urging up the hill to deny that rival by 1 1/4 lengths.

Publish is the first of three foals produced by dual Graded-winning GI Flower Bowl Invitational third Nay Lady Nay (No Nay Never), herself a full-sister to G2 Coventry-winning G1 Vincent O'Brien National Stakes and G1 Dewhurst Stakes placegetter Arizona. Descendants of his G1 Oaks d'Italia-winning third dam Bright Generation (Rainbow Quest) include dual Group 1-winning sire Dabirsim (Hat Trick). The January-foaled homebred is half to a yearling filly and weanling colt by Frankel.
