Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 20, 2018 Journalists Share Posted May 20, 2018 Sergei Prokofiev benefitted for the experience of an Apr. 11 debut second going five furlong on Dundalk’s synthetic surface and demolished overmatched rivals by 7 1/2 lengths and more in an imperious ‘TDN Rising Star’ performance over the same trip at Navan last time Apr. 23, and he was as effective here to punch his Royal Ascot ticket in style. Racing under a firm hold in a prominent third from flagfall in this black-type bow, he eased to the fore when allowed an inch of rein passing the quarter-mile marker and powered clear under mild rousting in the closing stages to easily claim a career high by another daylight margin. Sergei Prokofiev is the lone performer out of Orchard Beach (Tapit), a half-sister to GIII Hollywood Juvenile Championship victress Necessary Evil (Harlan’s Holiday), and he is kin to a yearling filly by Hard Spun while his dam was bred to Air Force Blue last year. His third dam Danzig Til Dawn (Danzig), who produced Listed Dash S. scorer Forest Danz (Forestry), is a granddaughter of the smart and tough El Tigre Grande mare Full Tigress, whose 10 victories include the Listed Alma North S. and Egret H. and who made her claim to fame as the dam of GI Matron S. and GI Spinaway S. heroine Over All (Mr. Prospector), herself the dam of GII Raven Run S. victrix For All We Know (Stephen Got Even).
