Nathaniel’s Desert Crown Earns TDN Rising Star Tag At Nottingham

Saeed Suhail's hitherto untried 280,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 acquisition Desert Crown (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) was let go at 11-1 for division one of Wednesday's MansionBet Bet £10 Get £20 EBF Maiden S. at Nottingham and, while still a diamond in the rough, came home stylishly to earn 'TDN Rising Star' status on debut. The eventual winner accepted a tow in third after breaking on the front end in an extended one-mile heat won in 2019 by MG1SW globetrotter Mishriff (Ire) (Make Believe {GB}) and in 2018 by MG1SW speedster Space Blues (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}). Looming large on the bridle approaching the quarter-mile marker, he quickened smartly to gain control passing the eighth pole and went through an impressive array of gears to go 5 1/2 lengths clear of Schmilsson (GB) (Muhaarar {GB}) in a matter of strides.

Desert Crown is the fifth foal and scorer produced by a winning granddaughter of stakes-winning G3 Prix de Psyche runner-up Binary (GB) (Rainbow Quest), whose descendants include MGISW distaffer Proviso (GB) (Dansili {GB}). Binary is also the ancestress of G1 Prince of Wales's S.-winning sire Byword (GB) (Peintre Celebre) and MG1SP G2 Prix Eugene Adam victor Finche (GB) (Frankel {GB}). The March-foaled bay is a half-brother to Hong Kong's G3 Premier Cup victor Flying Thunder (GB) (Archipenko), who raced in Europe as Archie McKellar (GB), a yearling filly by Al Kazeem (GB) and a weanling colt by Study of Man (Ire).

Dubawi’s Eldar Eldarov A New Rising Star at Nottingham

KHK Racing's 2.7-million guineas October Book 1 purchase Akhu Najla (GB) (Kingman {GB}) ran second for Roger Varian in his Leicester unveiling Tuesday and the partnership was back in action with £480,000 Arqana@Doncaster Breeze-Up graduate Eldar Eldarov (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), who powered to 'TDN Rising Stardom' in the second division of Wednesday's British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden S. at Nottingham. The 13-8 favourite tanked forward from a slot in rear to track the leaders in fourth after the initial exchanges of this debut and crept closer once into the home straight. Looming large on the bridle soon after passing the three-furlong marker, he assumed control approaching the two pole and stretched clear in impressive fashion to easily account for Janoobi (Ire) (Night of Thunder {Ire}) by a geared-down five lengths.

Eldar Eldarov is the third of five foals and second scorer out of Listed Prix de Liancourt, Listed Prix Zarkava and Listed Prix de la Pepiniere winner All At Sea (GB) (Sea the Stars {Ire}). He is a half-brother to Listed Rothesay S. third A La Voile (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), a yearling colt by Roaring Lion and a weanling filly by Study of Man (Ire). All At Sea is one of five black-type performers produced by G1 Deutschlandpreis, G1 Rheinland-Pokal and G1 Preis von Europa victrix Albanova (GB) (Alzao), herself a full-sister to dual G1 Champion S. heroine Alborada (GB). The February-foaled bay shares his second dam with last month's G1 Preis von Europa winner Alpinista (GB) (Frankel {GB}).
