Impressive Debut from Deuteronomy While action on the home front at Tramore didn´t set the pulses racing, those keeping an eye on Newmarket may have had there first sighting of a potential star in the six furlong juvenile maiden.The horse, Old Deuteronomy, the trainer, Aidan O’Brien. Stable second-string with Michael Kinane choosing to partner fellow newcomer, 3/1 chance, The Mighty Tiger, Jamie Spencer’s mount belied his status with a highly impressive five length victory over outsider, Divine Gift.Quickening to lead over a furlong out, the son of Storm Cat was soon in command and came home a comfortable 10/1 winner, announcing himself as a leading contender for the Coventry at Royal Ascot.Described by his rider as ‘very smart’, that view is supported by the fact that David Loder’s well touted even money favourite Augustine could finish no better than fifth, admittedly after not gaining the clearest of runs.
