Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 2, 2021 Journalists Share Posted June 2, 2021 As Derby week heads towards the blue riband itself, Aidan O'Brien launched one who could conceivably be a headline act for the 2022 version in Point Lonsdale (Ire) (Australia {GB}) who proved enormously impressive at The Curragh. Sent off the 7-4 favourite for the card's opening Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden for colts and geldings over seven furlongs, the full-brother to the stable's multiple group winner Broome (Ire) who cost 575,000gns at the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 1 was quick to dispute the lead with the experienced Barud (GB) (Kodiac {GB}). By the time they passed the two-furlong pole, it was clear that the March-foaled bay had that rival's measure and once given a smack with Seamie Heffernan's whip finished off powerfully to register a 5 1/2-length success in the maiden won by the future group 1 performer Lope Y Fernandez (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) two years ago. The Donnacha O'Brien-trained Unconquerable (Ire) (Churchill {Ire}), who had the benefit of a run under his belt, was second half a length in front of the Fozzy-Stack-trained newcomer Mannix (Ire) (Australia {GB}). The win continues the impressive strike-rate of Ballydoyle's juvenile class of 2021 so far, with the winner the third TDN Rising Star for the yard's 2-year-olds as he becomes Australia's first TDN Rising Star.
