Darkening determined to earn second straight success
The name of Godolphin is enough to judge a horse’s credentials, but Darkening has proved himself with his talent too. Three podium finishes in four-race career is an impressive record that makes him a strong candidate for every event he participates.
After breaking his maiden at Yarmouth on September 20, the Mahmood Al Zarooni trained bay gelding joined a week-long drill. Now, he seems to be ardent to earn second straight success by sealing the ace title of Cambridge News Excellent Horseracing Coverage
Nursery at Newmarket racecourse. The high-profile class 2 contest is scheduled to be run on September 27.
The 1-mile track has good surface. A total of 16 runners will compete for the cash prize worth £7,763. Both the distance and the venue are new to the brilliant gelding; this is a matter of concern for some analysts who opine that the two-year-old novice
runner may take some time to adjust to the situation and this does not augur well for him.
On the other hand, there are a handful of experts who claim that Zarooni’s pupil will be able to run quite confidently and comfortably under Mickael Barzalona as he has been trained well for every sort of conditions.
Considering the Irish horse’s bright track record, most of the punters have staked their money on him. But to some, there are a few other options in the race card like Hoarding, Royal Skies, Red Avenger and Marhaba Malayeen.
The thing that distinguishes Darkening from all others is the level of resilience and fighting spirit he possesses. This is evident from his last three races.
The talented son of Shamardal out of Dama ‘A debuted on June 22, finishing 4th in his maiden race that was NGK Spark Plugs Maiden Stakes.
He fought very well and stood third in the next contest entitled as Silks And Saddles Bar Maiden Stakes. The Lisieux Stud bred gelding impressed all by finishing as the runner-up in Irish Stallion Farms E B F Maiden Stakes (Div I).
Finally, he broke his maiden with the title of At The Races Nursery.
Thus, we must expect another thumping performance from Darkening who will be a source of entertaining in the playfield. Good luck to him.
