Kingman’s TDN Rising Star Nostrum Back With A Bang In The Henry Cecil

[Wandering Eyes]

Thursday's Listed Sir Henry Cecil S. at Newmarket looked every bit as strong as the card's group races and so it proved as Juddmonte's G3 Tattersalls S.-winning TDN Rising Star Nostrum (GB) (Kingman {GB}–Mirror Lake {GB}, by Dubai Destination) put his season on track with a performance that confirmed him as another elite runner for the Sir Michael Stoute stable. Last seen finishing third in the G1 Dewhurst S. on the Rowley Mile, the 11-10 favourite took Ryan Moore straight to the lead and one by one broke the hearts of his highly-regarded rivals en route to a three-length success in a fast time. Second was Embesto (GB) (Roaring Lion), who had 2 1/4 lengths to spare over the fellow Roger Varian-trained New Endeavour (Ire) (New Bay {GB}).

“We've never made any bones about the fact that we think this is a very good horse and it was a frustrating start to the season, but this will hopefully be the springboard for the rest of the season,” Juddmonte's European racing manager Barry Mahon said. “We probably could have been back for [Royal] Ascot, but it made more sense to wait and come here. This has been won by some good horses and it looked a deep renewal and a pretty tight race, so the way he went away from them he has to be a top-class horse. He's in everything, so we'll see how he comes out of it but hopefully it'll be sooner rather than later that he'll be back in group one company. This is a very special race for the Abdullah family to win and it makes it a poignant moment today.”
