Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 4, 2020 Journalists Share Posted September 4, 2020 Ascot’s Me2 Club EBF Future Stayers’ Maiden S. over seven furlongs looked one for future Classic prospects on paper and it was the 2-1 favourite La Barrosa (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) who came out on top to earn TDN Rising Star status on Friday. Having cost 750,000gns at the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 1, Godolphin’s son of the multiple group-placed Bikini Babe (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}) was settled in mid-pack early by James Doyle as the pace proved only tepid. Launched between rivals passing the two-furlong pole, the Charlie Appleby-trained bay was soon in front and after getting first run on Derab (GB) (Sea the Stars {Ire}), Juddmonte’s half-brother to Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}), surged to the line for a 1 1/4-length success, with that John Gosden-trained regally-bred fellow newcomer pulling 2 3/4 lengths clear of the strongly-supported King Power-Roger Varian runner Greatgadian (Ger) (Siyouni {Fr}) in third.
