Doncaster Test for Auguste Rodin


Heavy rain hit Doncaster’s Town Moor track on Thursday and refused to stop the next afternoon, so Saturday’s G1 Vertem Futurity Trophy feature is sure to be a thorough test for the main characters of the series. it. It begs a question about Ballydoyle’s newest favorite game for teenagers, Rising star TDN Auguste Rodin (Ire) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) who had liked the ground in a different direction and now had to prove his mental determination as well as his physical strength.

While the son of the superior Rhododendron (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) escaped lightly as he idling too far ahead during G2 Champions Juvenile S. at Leopardstown on September 10, this could be a different proposition than Ryan Moore having to judge when to toss him into a sticky, holding surface. However, Aidan O’Brien’s number one for this race is always the first to be seen, with six wins being favorites from his last seven saddles and one more to see him. usurped the late Sir Henry Cecil for which he is currently tied on 10.

These races are the most exciting for the unknown elements they carry, and Moore added fuel to the fire as he considered his ride on Auguste Rodin on betfair blog on friday. “He is a horse that I have come to appreciate so much from day one,” he said. I was impressed with him at Leopardstown last time. That may not be Group 2’s strongest, but I think he’s Team 1’s horse and hopefully he’ll show it off here. “

Unsurprisingly, history tells us that the maiden winners who profited widely from Ballydoyle are not usually class acts and so are Auguste Rodin’s peers Salt Lake City (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) comes out big here, with the potential to rise to the front lines as he did in Navan last time on October 5. Whether he’s High Chaparral (Ire) or Aristotle (Ire) ) in this renewal remains to be seen and he will enjoy heavy ground.

That also applies to Nottingham’s first impression winner King of Steel (Wootton Bassett {GB}) who won the same race against Eldar Eldarov (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) in soft ground with some power 10 days ago. Coach David Loughnane hopes to give Kia Joorabchian’s Amo Racing the Group 1 winner they’ve been looking for all year. “We don’t know what we beat, but Nottingham is great, both visually and horologically,” he said. “He’s perfectly fine and he has an exceptional mind.”

“He is a monster,” Lougnane added. “He is just over 17 arms and weighs almost 600 kg. Everything about him since he first got on the pitch has been a bit out of the ordinary and Adam [Kirby] commented that he had never ridden a larger foal, but for such a large horse he was quick and well proportioned. “

All was relatively quiet as John and Thady Gosden’s two-year-old children were taken care of during the summer months, but in the last month things started to heat up and George Strawbridge TDN Rising Star Epictetus (Ire) (King {GB}) is completely ready. After winning that Newmarket Girl on July 8th, son of Thistle Bird (GB) (Selkirk) married Kingston Hill (GB) and Magna Grecia Route (Ire) by G3 Autumn S. Like the latter, he was second in that Newmarket staging post a week ago and added the plot along with Haynes, Hanson & Clark on Jeff Smith’s impressive September 16 Condition S. winner Stormbuster (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}).

A case of espionage at Saint-Cloud

While Ballydoyle’s representatives Auguste Rodin and Salt Lake City were sent to Doncaster, TDN Rising Star Espionage (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) joined G1 Criterium International for the stables leading the honor list with five previous winners. Ioritz Mendizabal was called in and the French driver of the field, who steered St Mark’s Basilica (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}), Joan Of Arc (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Blackbeard (Ire) (No, never) to a resounding success for them has an enviable ride with the son of G2 winner Ribblesdale S. Even Song (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}), who has such poise So when she broke her maidenhood at The Curragh last time on September 25th.

This was as tough as the Doncaster feature, with July 21 scorer G3 Tyros S. and G1 runner-up Vincent O’Brien National S. Proud And Regal (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and winner of White Birch Farm’s G3 Prix des Chenes September 8 Kubrick (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) attended with another person Rising Star TDN In Breizh Sky (Fr) (Pedro The Great), while Valmont’s Salt Bay (Ger) (Farhh {GB}) will add another one later. Impressive during a single start at Haydock on September 24th, the Ralph Beckett-trained relative of some useful German middle-distance performers looks tailored for this kind of experimentation on the ground. Autumn deep ground.

Presence arrest

As always, ample physical strength will indeed be a prerequisite in the long-haired G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud 10, which occupies a curious void in the 2-year-old Group 1 roster. Very few of those who fit this bill go on to anything remarkable at a level three, with 2016 winner Waldgeist (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) being the late exception. There is a trio of Liver Teorainn (Ire) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}), Dubai Miles (Ire) (Lion roars) and Adelaide River (Ire) (Australia {GB}) put Europe’s Group 1 and Group 2 form into the race, but if there’s one person going through to the 2023 Classics it could be Juddmonte’s Arrest (GB) (Frankel {GB}). One of this run’s successful purchases in 2020 and 2021, the co-head at Goffs November Fools Sale brought in Friday’s winner Sea Of Roses (GB) (Sea The Moon {Ger) }) 11 pounds and beat 5 1/2 lengths in Wales’ Ffos Las Impossible Place on September 26. He’s also from Gosdens’ academy and Thady said, “It’s been a change of pace. big from Ffos Las, but he won’t mind the easy pitch as he has a nice action on him. He should appreciate mileage and quarters and he’s the horse we’ve always loved. “

The Dirty Dozen

All 12 black-style events held on Saturday in Doncaster, Newbury, Saint-Cloud and Leopardstown will require grit and determination as well as class from the winners given stormy conditions that tire the ground. tired everywhere. The main player in the remaining prizes is The King’s Approaching the Moon (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), whose 2011 G2 Champagne S. came in second behind Bayside Boy (Ire) (New Bay {GB}) suddenly looked so much better as he advanced over a mile to Saint-Cloud’s G3 Prix Perth. ; KHK Racing’s Rising Star Knight TDN (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), who is put to the test in a compelling and poignant renewal of the Virgin Bet Horris Hill S. Newbury’s seven-feather film by Simon and Ed Crisford after the first success. his in Yarmouth on September 25; Ballylinch Stud and the “forgotten horse” of Aquis . Farm Lonely Eagle (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) prepares for a potential date in Hong Kong in the G3 Virgin Bet St Simon S.; and Ballydoyle’s TDN Rising Star Aesop’s Fables (Ire) (No, never) who accompanied Auguste Rodin to England and bid to give his colleagues £5 thanks to the success of G2 Futurity S. August 20 in the Carlsberg Marstons Doncaster S.

John Warren, King’s racing director, said of Reach For The Moon, “We thought the ground and the ride had to be what we were looking for. He needs to get back into racing again and it’s a pity we’re nearing the end of the season because John Gosden is very pleased with him.

“We hope to show his best form, especially his form with Bayside Boy (Ire) (New Bay {GB}) looking very solid.”
