Darley Sire Too Darn Hot
Sandown Debut Win For Godolphin's Millionaire First Law

The second million guineas purchase to run on Thursday evening, Godolphin's First Law (Too Darn Hot) followed Wall Street's earlier example and duly delivered on debut at Sandown. Making heavy weather of landing odds of 8-11 under Connor Planas, the Tattersalls October Book 1 sensation who is a half-brother to the Moyglare heroine Skitter Scatter (Scat Daddy) eventually got to main market rival Flight Tracker (Sea The Stars) in the closing stages and beat that full-brother to the Sandown Classic Trial runner-up Macduff by a head.

Baaeed's Brother Raaheeb Dominates Sandown's Classic Trial

Tricky in the preliminaries but as professional as it gets in the race itself, Shadwell's key three-year-old Raaheeb (Sea The Stars) stamped his class on Friday's G3 Sandown Classic Trial. Smartly away unlike Ballydoyle's 4-6 market-leader Action (Frankel), Baaeed's full-brother who earned TDN Rising Star status on his Ascot debut in September travelled strongly off the early pace under Rossa Ryan and when committed approaching two out had first run on his peers. Staying on powerfully to the line, the 5-1 second favourite who like his other full-sibling Hukum hails...
