Following on from the impressive Claudette at Yarmouth, Spartan (Too Darn Hot) shone at Kempton to make it two TDN Rising Stars on Monday for the Gosdens.Debuting in the mile novice on the course and Polytrack surface Gosden Sr has used to often for his budding prospects, Isa Salman Al Khalifa's €280,000 Arqana May Breeze-Up purchase languished towards the rear under William Buick until wound up for his effort in early straight.Picking up impressively out wide to take control approaching the furlong pole, the 9-2 shot set sail for an emphatic 3 3/4-length success from the experienced Balding runner Berkshire Regal (Calyx), with another length margin back to the George Baker-trained newcomer Dark Supremacy (Supremacy) in third.“I was expecting him to learn on the job, which he did and he picked up really good and showed long acceleration all the way to the line,” his rider said. “He's far from the finished article and a lovely horse for next year, so you'd have to be really pleased with what he did there. He's a big, scopey horse and he has a lovely big stride. I'd expect him to sharpen up for it. He doesn't lack for speed, but you'd think he'll get a mile and a quarter.”Too Darn Hot's fourth TDN Rising Star, Spartan is the first foal out of the mile-and-a-half winner Phantasmic (Frankel) whose half-siblings include the Prix de l'Abbaye hero Total Gallery (Namid) and the Fillies' Mile runner-up Lady Darshaan (High Chaparral). The family includes the Pretty Polly winner Ambivalent (Authorized).Lovely start from €280,000 buy Spartan (Too Darn Hot) https://t.co/xASOUGZAnq— Racing TV (@RacingTV) October 5, 2026The post Spartan Brings Up TDN Rising Star Double For The Gosdens appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
