Frankel's Goffs Orby topper Treanmor a new TDN Rising Star
Everyone knew about Godolphin's newcomer Treanmor at Newmarket on Sunday and the €2 million Goffs Orby Book 1 topper disappointed nobody as he became Frankel's 43rd TDN Rising Star.
Taken from the Thoroughbred Daily News, 19th May 2025, by Tom Frary:
Sent off the 30-100 favourite for the opening six-furlong novice, the Charlie Appleby-trained son of Invincible Spirit's Listed scorer and dual Group 3-placed Loch Lein travelled with ease behind the pace before being launched by William Buick two out. Surging to the front and into the clear, he had four lengths to spare over fellow newcomer Vlad at the line.
Appleby has Royal Ascot in mind for the exciting prospect, who was winning the same race as the stable's Gr.2 Superlative Stakes winner and Gr.1 Dewhurst Stakes third Ancient Truth 12 months ago.
"He's a straightforward horse to deal with and shows a lot of class - the two-year-olds have been running well, so we had a bit of a gauge on him," said Appleby. "We've never taken him off the bridle at home, so I said to William to be wary of that if he had to ask the question. There should be an abundance of improvement to come. We had pencilled in a plan for the Chesham, but he hasn't lacked pace there so we'll see."
