After watching 'TDN Rising Star' Wild Desert (Ire) (Too Darn Hot {GB}) and Dance to the Music (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) defeated as the favorites in the GI Summer Stakes and GI Natalma Stakes, respectively, Team Godolphin got a measure of revenge when long odds-on 'TDN Rising Star' NOTABLE SPEECH (IRE) (c, 4, Dubawi {Ire}–Swift Rose {Ire}, by Invincible Spirit {Ire}) came storming down the center of the inner turf course and Woodbine and stamped his authority on Saturday's GI Rogers Woodbine Mile. The victory secures the homebred a berth in the field for the GI Breeders' Cup Mile at Del Mar on Nov. 1.Off to a hesitant beginning from gate two and pinched back a few strides out of the gates, Notable Speech was bustled along to take up a centerfield position as My Boy Prince (Cairo Prince) took them along through decent fractions up front. Traveling strongly into the final three-eighths of a mile, Notable Speech was steered out four abreast at the quarter pole and stormed home full of run while racing on his incorrect lead to score by two lengths over the pacesetter. Gas Me Up (Hard Spun) was ridden prominently throughout by Flavien Prat and was beaten about four lengths into third. South Africa's One Stripe (SAf) (One World {SAf}) finished with interest from well back to split the field.It was a third win in the race for Godolphin, who took it with Modern Games (GB) and Master of the Seas (Ire), each of whom went on to success at the Breeders' Cup.Lifetime Record: 13-6-1-1. O/B-Godolphin; T-Charlie Appleby. NOTABLE SPEECH ($2.80) and @WilliamBuickX left no room for debate in the $1 million Woodbine Mile (G1) at @WoodbineTB. The 4YO colt by @DarleyEurope's Dubawi (Ire) punches his ticket to the @BreedersCup Mile for trainer Charlie Appleby & owner @godolphin with this #WAYI. pic.twitter.com/jaCDvuYuAm— FanDuel Racing (@FanDuel_Racing) September 13, 2025The post Notable Speech Outclasses Rivals In ‘WAYI’ Woodbine Mile appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
