Mohaather’s Celeron Powers to Impressive Railway Stakes Victory

Wait 5 sec.

New Morning Syndicate's Celeron (Mohaather) was down the field in Royal Ascot's Listed Windsor Castle Stakes last month and bounced back in style to register a clear-cut win in Saturday's G2 GAIN Railway Stakes at the Curragh.Positioned off the tempo in a detached third through the initial stages, the 7-2 second favourite came under pressure soon after halfway and was ridden clear once quickening smartly for his challenge entering the final furlong to securer a career high by an impressive three lengths from G2 Norfolk Stakes also-ran Tribeca (Blue Point).The Aidan O'Brien-trained 11-10 favourite Confucius (No Nay Never) was unable to strike a telling blow and finished 1 1/4 lengths back in third. Celeron fluffed the start at Royal Ascot last time but bounces back to make it two from three in the Group 2 @GAINEquine Railway Stakes under @oismurphy for @MDOCallaghan @curraghrace pic.twitter.com/q9iguD6Jzb— Racing TV (@RacingTV) July 18, 2026 Pedigree NotesCeleron, who becomes the second pattern-race and fourth stakes scorer for his sire, is the latest of three foals and one of two winners from as many runners produced by Listed Premio Carlo Chiesa victrix Fataliste (Siyouni), herself a half-sister to dual G3 Premio Tudini placegetter Traditional Chic (Ad Valorem).His second dam Minimal Chic (King's Best), a half-sister to G2 Gimcrack Stakes third Thunder Dragon (Zieten), hails from the immediate family of G1 Premio Lydia Tesio heroine Dubai Surprise (King's Best) and the Group/Grade 1 performers Atticus (Nureyev), Miss Lago (Encosta De Lago) and Allybar (King's Best).The post Mohaather’s Celeron Powers to Impressive Railway Stakes Victory appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
