Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 13, 2018 Journalists Share Posted July 13, 2018 Odds of 4-9 are never tempting in a race like the G1 Tattersalls Falmouth S., but TDN Rising Star Alpha Centauri (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) made them look a gift as she sauntered to a facile all-the-way success at Newmarket on Friday. Following a breakthrough win in the G1 Irish 1000 Guineas at The Curragh May 27 with a command performance in Royal Ascot’s G1 Coronation S. June 22, the Niarchos’ grey was always in her comfort zone as jockey Colm O’Donoghue opted to take the stand’s rail and the lead from the outset. Extending her advantage from over two furlongs out, she had 4 1/2 lengths to spare over Altyn Orda (Ire) (Kyllachy {GB}), with Clemmie (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) a length back in third and the rest well beaten. “She’s unbelievable–she was hacking along and had to do all the donkey work today,” trainer Jessie Harrington said. “She is amazing, with the size of her and I’m very lucky to have her.” ALPHA CENTAURI (IRE), 126, f, 3, by Mastercraftsman (Ire)1st Dam: Alpha Lupi (Ire), by Rahy2nd Dam: East of the Moon, by Private Account3rd Dam: Miesque, by Nureyev O/B-Niarchos Family; B-Niarchos Family (IRE); T-Jessica Harrington; J-Colm O’Donoghue. £113,420.
