Kingman’s Palace Pier Best In the St James’s Palace

Frankie is on fire again at his favourite venue and he took the final day of Royal Ascot by storm as he steered TDN Rising Star Palace Pier (GB) (Kingman {GB}) to success in the G1 St James’s Palace S. Settled just behind the frantic pace early, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum’s unbeaten 4-1 shot came wide off the turn and in the last half furlong saw off Pinatubo (Ire) (Shamardal) and Wichita (Ire) (No Nay Never) by a length and a head.

Sea the Moon’s Alpine Star Emulates Alpha Centauri In the Coronation

Emulating the emphatic G1 Coronation S. victory of her half-sister Alpha Centauri (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) two years ago, the Niarchos Family’s Alpine Star (Ire) (Sea the Moon {Ger}) was also in a class of her own as she registered a 4 1/4-length success. Racing behind the leading duo early under Frankie Dettori, the 9-2 shot who was last seen winning the G2 Debutante S. forged up the rail in early straight and had command before the furlong pole en route to her dismissal of the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf heroine Sharing (Speightstown), who in turn denied the 2-1 favourite Quadrilateral (GB) (Frankel {GB}) by two lengths.

Saturday’s Insights: Dangerous Duo for Brown at Belmont

DANGEROUS DUO FOR BROWN
7th-BEL, $64K, Msw, 3yo/up, f/m, 1mT, 4:32p.m.
Turf maestro Chad Brown unveils a dangerous duo here, including 2019 OBS April $440,000 Peter Brant purchase DOVIMA (Union Rags), who caught the eye with a :20 4/5 breeze at that sale. With three bullets at Payson out of her last five works, the half to MGSW Secret Gypsy (Sea of Secrets) looks to be sitting on go. Brown also brings firster Cost Benefit (GB) (Dansili {GB}), who brought just 40,000 guineas from Klaravich Stables as a Tattersalls October yearling, but sports turf quality throughout her family. Her dam is a half to European champion Zomaradah (GB) (Deploy {GB}), who produced MG1SW and leading European sire Dubawi (Ire) (Dubai Millennium {GB}), while an earlier generation was responsible for European champion and Breeders’ Cup winner In the Wings (GB) (Sadler’s Wells). Morning line longshot (20-1) Hill d’Oro (Medaglia d’Oro) is a full-sister to last year’s GI Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup S. and GI Del Mar Oaks winner, Cambier Parc. Three other half-sisters are all graded winners, while their dam, Sealy Hill (Point Given), was named Horse of the Year in Canada just over a decade ago. Hill d’Oro was a $425,000 Keeneland September purchase and will wear the colors of Whisper Hill Farm.

RISING STARS CLASH
10th-CD, $81K, AOC, 3yo, f, 6 1/2f, 5:50p.m.
Two ‘TDN Rising Stars’ take center stage in a face-off beneath the Twin Spires.

Remanded (Elusive Quality) picked off rivals in an Arazi-style move for her ‘Rising Star’ debut Feb. 16 at Gulfstream and she’s kept up a steady work tab since. Trained by Cherie DeVaux for the partnership of her husband, David Ingordo, and Manganaro Bloodstock, the $75,000 Keeneland September yearling was a $190,000 buyback at OBS April (:10 1/5).
