Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 23, 2023 Journalists Posted June 23, 2023 Coming through in a highly tactical renewal of the G1 Coronation S. at Royal Ascot on Friday, The Aga Khan's TDN Rising Star Tahiyra (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}–Tarana {Ire}, by Cape Cross {Ire}) added to her Irish 1000 Guineas and Moyglare Stud S. successes to provide Dermot Weld with his first renewal since 1978. Sent off the 8-13 favourite, the homebred half-sister to superstar Tarnawa (Ire) (Shamardal) missed the break a fraction and ended up in rear with Chris Hayes unwilling to use up her acceleration early. Swooping wide in the straight, she went slightly right as Sounds Of Heaven (GB) (Kingman {GB}) drifted left causing the filly inbetween Remarquee (GB) (Kingman {GB}) to snatch up approaching the furlong pole. While Tahiyra forged ahead, Remarquee was playing catch-up and finished with a flourish to be just a length behind the winner at the line and a head in front of Sounds Of Heaven. After an inquiry, the result was allowed to stand and Siyouni in turn responsible for a notable St James's Palace-Coronation double. “I can't wait to ride this filly in a truly-run mile race and see what she is really capable of,” Hayes said. “She slipped coming out of the gates, so it was plan B and I had to ride her like the best and the fastest in the field.” Tahiyra is all class as she wins the Coronation Stakes for @chrishayes24 and Dermot Weld at #RoyalAscot! @Ascot pic.twitter.com/AW6nFP0Zw6 — At The Races (@AtTheRaces) June 23, 2023 The post Coronation Glory For Siyouni’s TDN Rising Star Tahiyra appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
