Aomori City’s debut at Nottingham

Charlie Appleby unveiled a promising contender at Nottingham on Thursday, with Aomori City demonstrating professionalism in his impressive debut. This son of Oasis Dream, acquired for €260,000 as a yearling, justified his 4-6 favouritism under James Doyle's guidance in the opening Daily Offers At Rhino. Bet EBF Novice Stakes. Despite a challenge from Ed Bethell’s Intrusively, Aomori City surged ahead by half a length at the finish line.

His victorious debut mirrored that of Blue Point, a standout from Godolphin, who claimed the same race in 2016. Reflecting on Aomori City's performance, Doyle commented on the horse's pleasing start and commendable attitude, drawing parallels to his past successes with Blue Point. However, he remained cautious, acknowledging it was too early to forecast the horse's potential.

Following this triumph, Doyle secured a rapid double, riding Roger Varian’s Indemnity to victory in the Euro2024 Daily Giveaways On Rhino. Bet Maiden Stakes. Indemnity’s win was particularly gratifying, offering the four-year-old Highclere-owned contender a much-needed confidence boost after several close calls.

In other races, Silvestre de Sousa steered Post Rider to victory in the Charge Up Your Summer With Rhino. Bet Fillies’ Handicap, while Great Blasket, under Dr. Richard Newland and Jamie Insole, triumphed in the Follow Us On X @betrhino Handicap, hinting at a potential step-up to higher-grade races.

Looking ahead, Mick Appleby, despite preparations for Ascot, celebrated Lipsink's unexpected debut win in the Discover Whats Trending At Rhino. Bet Casino Handicap. Lipsink's surprise victory has positioned him for a potential return next week, showcasing Appleby's optimism for the future.
