Dermot Weld's sole runner on Saturday's Irish Oaks card at The Curragh just happened to be a full-brother to his Irish 1,000 Guineas heroine Homeless Songs and Porto Vecchio duly followed in her steps to become Frankel's 50th TDN Rising Star, Presented by Hagyard.Almost five years to the day since his illustrious full-sibling was launched onto the scene to earn instant TDN Rising Stardom, Moyglare's latest representative of the amazing dynasty of In Anticipation was in action in a seven-furlong maiden that has been won in recent times by The Lion In Winter, Henry Longfellow and Mac Swiney.Tackling a trio of Ballydoyle newcomers by Wootton Bassett and the fancied Ger Lyons-trained Anchor Road (Dark Angel), the homebred was 9-1 as a result but hadn't read the script travelling powerfully under Chris Hayes tracking the latter throughout the early stages. Let down approaching the furlong pole, he demonstrated the same acceleration that characterised his sister's best performances to score by half a length from the best of the Aidan O'Brien trio, Victory Speech. That full-brother to the Group 2 winner Beautify was in turn 1 1/4 lengths ahead of Anchor Road, whose form is linked with the Superlative runner-up Abraham Lincoln.“He had worked very nicely at home–he has shown a little bit of immaturity, but everything he's been asked to do he's done very well,” Weld said. “This is only the first or second time he's been on grass, so I think we can see a lot of progress from him. If he's as good as his sister he'll do and he's always shown nice ability. He's in the Futurity, so we'll discuss it with Eva Marie [Bucher-Haefner], Fiona [Craig] and Malachy [Ryan] and see. I'd hope he'll be a miler like her and the National Stakes has always been in my mind as a target race for this colt, even as early as March.”The beautifully-bred Porto Vecchio (Frankel) is a brother to Classic winner Homeless Songs and more classy performers and makes the perfect start for Dermot Weld, @chrishayes24 and Moyglare Stud @curraghrace pic.twitter.com/MmbWmZgnPL— Racing TV (@RacingTV) July 18, 2026Pedigree NotesPorto Vecchio is the sixth foal out of the German Listed winner Joailliere (Dubawi) who was multiple group-placed between seven furlongs and a mile. Other than the aforementioned Homeless Songs, she has also produced the Listed winner and dual Group-placed Reve De Vol (Siyouni) and has a 2026 colt again by Frankel.Joailliere, a half-sister to two other Stakes performers headed by the dual Group winner Carla Bianca (Dansili), is a daughter of the Listed scorer Diamond Trim (Highest Honor) whose progeny list features by the triple Group 3 winner and Irish St Leger runner-up Profound Beauty (Danehill). The fourth dam In Anticipation (Sadler's Wells) is the key member of the family, producing the Ribblesdale winner Irresistible Jewel (Danehill) responsible for three high-class runners in Princess Highway (Street Cry), Royal Diamond (King's Best) and Mad About You (Indian Ridge) who is in turn the dam of the Takamatsunomiya Kinen heroine Mad Cool (Dark Angel).The post Moyglare’s Porto Vecchio Becomes Frankel’s 50th TDN Rising Star appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
