Sun Goddess Snags TDN Rising Star Rosette in Ireland, Albany Beckons

Wait 5 sec.

Aidan O'Brien trainee Sun Goddess (Sioux Nation) shaped with a deal of promise at Naas two weeks ago and made a giant leap forward with a visually stunning TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard, performance in Sunday's Revamp Conservation And Restoration Irish EBF Fillies Maiden at the Curragh.The £120,000 Goffs UK Premier yearling was handily placed in behind the leaders after the initial strides of a six-furlong contest with an illustrious honour roll.Easing forward to join the front rank passing halfway, the 4-11 choice was given a shake of the reins by Ryan Moore with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining and she thundered clear in taking fashion to book her ticket to Royal Ascot by routing the overmatched Green Empress (Saxon Warrior) by five lengths. Ballydoyle's Heaven's Glory (Wootton Bassett) was 2 1/4 lengths adrift in third.The victory took Moore's record to a perfect five-for-five at this Irish Guineas meeting and Sun Goddess, whose conqueror Carry The Flag (No Nay Never) ran second in the G3 Marble Hill one race later, becomes the second Rising Star for her sire.1st-Curragh, €25,000, Mdn, 5-24, 2yo, f, 6fT, 1:11.64, gd.SUN GODDESS (IRE), f, 2, by Sioux Nation                1st Dam: Etoile Bleu (Ire), by Starspangledbanner (Aus)                2nd Dam: Holly Blue (GB), by Bluebird                3rd Dam: Nettle (GB), by Kris (GB)Sales history: £120,000 Ylg '25 GOUKPR.
