Sea the Stars Filly A Second Rising Star At Saint-Cloud

[Wandering Eyes]

Following on where the colt Tumbler (Fr) (Kingman {GB}) had left off at Saint-Cloud on Thursday, Godolphin's filly Life in Motion (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) earned TDN Rising Star status in the Prix Tenebreuse also for newcomers over seven furlongs. Settled in fourth early on the testing ground by Mickael Barzalona, the daughter of the G1 Prix Saint-Alary Wavering (Ire) (Refuse To Bend {Ire}) arrived on the front end full of running with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining. Pushed out from there, the Andre Fabre-trained 7-10 favourite was able to secure a facile five-length success from Indian Wish (Fr) (The Grey Gatsby {Ire}), with Roselyne (Fr) (Dariyan {Fr}) a further three lengths away in third as they finished strung out.
The dam, who also captured the G1 Prix Saint-Alary, has produced the G3 Prix de Flore runner-up Switching (Street Cry {Ire}) and her G3 Prix Chloe-placed full-sister Flowrider. The second dam Summertime Legacy (GB) (Darshaan {GB}) took the G3 Prix des Reservoirs and was third in the Saint-Alary before also producing the former TDN Rising Star and G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud winner Mandaean (GB) (Manduro {Ger}). Her daughter Winters Moon (Ire) (New Approach {Ire}) was third in the G1 Fillies Mile before providing these connections with the G1 Prix Morny and G1 Middle Park S. hero Earthlight (Ire) (Shamardal), while another of Wavering's half-sisters Lavender and Lace (GB) (Barathea {Ire} is responsible for the G2 Superlative S. third Maxi Boy (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}). Life In Motion, who becomes the eighth TDN Rising Star for his sire, is followed by a yearling son of Shamardal.
