Only the second runner in the Juddmonte silks to emerge from Joseph O'Brien's Owning Hill stable, Monogram (Kingman) gave all the right vibes on Saturday to become the sire's 39th TDN Rising Star, Presented by Hagyard.Heavily-backed into 4-6 for The Curragh's Coolmore Stud St Mark's Basilica Irish EBF Maiden, the son of the Prix des Reservoirs and Athenia Stakes winner Pocket Square (Night Of Thunder) was slowly away from his wide stall and forced to race in rear throughout the early stages under a visibly confident Dylan Browne McMonagle. Still with plenty to do two out, the homebred took off to reel in Amo Racing's Salt Lake (Persian Force) in the final stride.At the line, there was a short head between the winner and that half-brother to West Acre and Lady Iman, with a healthy 3 3/4-length gap back to Ballydoyle's Noble Exhibit (Frankel), a son of Prize Exhibit (Showcasing).“He looked nice. We wanted him to relax early and I thought his last furlong was good,” O'Brien said. “It was obvious from his homework that he was a nice horse. It was an impressive debut. You don't expect him to do that after he fell out of the gates.”“It's just really nice to have a horse for the Juddmonte team and for the family,” he added. “I suppose we'll see how he pulls up before making plans. He has won his maiden, so whether you'd like to go somewhere between now and a big race we'll discuss it and see.”Impressive!Monogram (Kingman) comes from last to first to strike on debut, a first winner in the famous @JuddmonteFarms silks for @JosephOBrien2 since being added to the roster @curraghrace pic.twitter.com/aSfF7Acp4a— Racing TV (@RacingTV) August 22, 2026 The post Monogram 1st Juddmonte Winner For JPOB, New TDN Rising Star appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
