Making light work of Saturday’s G2 Coolmore Stud Wootton Bassett Irish EBF Futurity S. at The Curragh, Ballydoyle’s TDN Rising Star Henry Longfellow (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}–Minding {Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}) continued the golden spell of the yard’s 2-year-olds in 2023. Backed into 2-9 favouritism, the son of the brilliant 1000 Guineas and Oaks heroine who had opened his account in style over this course and seven-furlong distance last month tracked the ultimately-disappointing Spanish Flame (Ire) (Phoenix Of Spain {Ire}) until taking command 2 1/2 out under Ryan Moore. Chased to the line by Islandsinthestream (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), he had two lengths to spare over that Joseph O’Brien trainee at the line, with three lengths back to fellow Rosegreen runner Portland (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) in third.
HENRY LONGFELLOW
The superbly-bred Henry Longfellow is way too strong for his rivals in the G2 Futurity Stakes @curraghrace.
