Godolphin’s €2m Treanmor Impresses on Debut, Jumps to Coventry Stakes Favoritism at Royal Ascot
Godolphin’s Treanmor, a €2 million purchase, has been installed as the early 5-1 favorite for the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot following an impressive debut victory. The son of Frankel cruised to an impressive win, capturing the attention of punters and horse racing enthusiasts alike.
Treanmor’s Impressive Debut
- Sent off at 30-100, Treanmor eased into the lead under William Buick.
- He stretched four lengths clear of Vlad to win the 6f novice stakes.
- Charlie Appleby, Treanmor’s trainer, praised the colt’s professionalism and expected improvement.
“We’ve never taken him off the bridle at home, so I said to William to be wary of that if he had to ask the question. There should be an abundance of improvement to come,” Appleby told ITV Racing.
Possible Targets at Royal Ascot
Appleby has hinted that Treanmor could target the Chesham Stakes as an alternative to the Coventry Stakes. However, the trainer won’t rule out the latter, considering the colt’s showing in his debut.
“We had pencilled in a plan for the Chesham but he hasn’t lacked pace there so we’ll see.”
Charlie Appleby’s Impressive Form with Two-Year-Olds
Appleby’s two-year-olds have been in formidable form this season, with the trainer boasting a 6-10 win record in Britain. Some of the promising runners from Appleby’s stable include Military Code, Rising Power, and Dance To The Music.
Liari Makes Successful Return to Flat Racing
In other news, Liari made a winning debut on the flat for trainer Michael Bell, winning a maiden race at Newbury. The four-year-old gelding had previously shown success over hurdles, winning three times, including twice at Listed level as a juvenile.
Analysis: ‘A Colt Out of the Top Drawer’
Treanmor, who cost a small fortune as a yearling, was backed as if defeat was out of the question and could hardly have won any easier on his debut, looking a colt out of the top drawer.”
William Buick, who rode Treanmor to victory, had spoken favorably about the colt before the race, and his performance on debut certainly lived up to the hype. While he beat nothing with experience, Treanmor created an impression that is rarely left by a newcomer.
“He’s a best-priced 6-1 second-favorite behind Aidan O’Brien’s Albert Einstein for the Group 2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot next month if connections decide on that over the Chesham,” Buckland concluded.
