Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 15, 2023 Journalists Posted July 15, 2023 They may have missed out on the English Triple Crown this year, but Team Ballydoyle have another contender for that mythical pursuit after TDN Rising Star City Of Troy (Justify–Together Forever {Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}) destroyed the opposition in Newmarket's G2 Superlative S. on Saturday. Allowed to stride to the fore by Ryan Moore with only Spanish Phoenix (Ire) (Phoenix Of Spain {Ire}) ahead, the heavily-supported 4-6 favourite took command three out and went through the gears from there to issue a punishing 6 1/2-length defeat to Haatem (Ire) (Phoenix Of Spain {Ire}), with another 3 1/4 lengths back to Oddyssey (GB) (Ulysses {Ire}) in third. “He's a very special horse,” Aidan O'Brien said of the winner, who earned TDN Rising Star status with his Curragh maiden win at the start of the month. “He has loads of speed and will have no problem with a mile. I wasn't going to run him when the rain came, as he's a real good-ground horse but the lads said to run and find out how he goes on it with the future in mind.” WOW!! We may have seen a future champion at @NewmarketRace as CITY OF TROY bolts up in the @bet365 Superlative Stakes under Ryan Moore! Seven lengths the winning margin…what a performance! @Ballydoyle pic.twitter.com/Ya5IgNRvNY — Racing TV (@RacingTV) July 15, 2023 The post Justify’s TDN Rising Star City Of Troy Emphatic In The Superlative appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
