SONGBIRD NOTCHESNINTH GRADE I WIN
Two-time champion Songbird (Medaglia d=Oro) did what shedoes best, going from gate-to-wire to score her ninth Grade Ivictory in Saturday=s GI Delaware H. Hammered down to 1-9favoritism against a field of four seemingly overmatched rivals,the ATDN Rising Star@ broke sharply from the outside post andswept up two wide to seize the early advantage. Loping alongthrough early fractions of :24.26, :48.36 and 1:12.63 under amotionless Mike Smith, the Fox Hill Farm runner was confrontedby Martini Glass (Kitalpha) turning for home, but Smith still hadnot asked the Eclipse winner to run. The Hall of Fame pilotshook the reins at Songbird at the top of the stretch and shebegan to edge clear, but Martini Glass would not let her go thateasy. The 21-1 shot kept on coming for the champion, forcingSmith to go to the whip--something he rarely does on this filly--and Songbird held strong for a one-length victory. AShe=s not back to the barn yet, but she looks like she came offthe racetrack good,@ winning trainer Jerry Hollendorfer told theTDN when reached by phone shortly after the race. AThat is adifficult race for her to run, going a mile and a quarter, carrying124 [pounds], so I was very proud of her. She did her job like shealways does and that=s why we love her.@ As for her next start, the Hall of Famer said, AI=d like to enjoythis win and then I will get with Mr. [Rick] Porter and we will tryto figure out another race for her. She could run at Saratoga [inthe GI Personal Ensign S. Aug. 26].@ Cont. p3
NYRA EYEING NIGHT RACING AT BELMONTby Bill Finley
The New York Racing Association is working to have racing
regulations changed so that it can begin to conduct racing at
night at Belmont Park on a limited basis. According to NYRA
President and CEO Chris Kay, a bill was passed last week in the
New York Senate that would allow Belmont to race at night two
days a week. The bill has not yet reached the New York State
Assembly.
The news of night racing at Belmont was revealed by Kay on
this week=s Thoroughbred Daily News podcast, brought to you
by Taylor Made.
Kay said the impetus to begin racing at night was to attract
new customers to Belmont, ones who may not be able to go
during the day due to work obligations.

Songbird Notches Ninth Grade I Win cont.
It was a meaningful win for Delaware native Porter, who grew
up going to Delaware Park with his parents. The 77-year-old=s
Horse of the Year Havre de Grace (Saint Liam) lost the 2011 Del
>Cap by a nose as the 3-5 favorite and his MGISW Jostle (Brocco)
was fourth as the 4-5 chalk in 2001. Porter, who has been
battling lymphoma, was able to attend Saturday=s race after
being released from Massachussetts General Hospital Thursday,
where he underwent a clinical trial (click here for more).
Songbird was named 2015's champion juvenile filly after a
four-for-four season with three Grade I victories, capped by the
GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Fillies. Opening her sophomore
account with a trio of victories in California, including the
GI Santa Anita Oaks, the bay was forced to miss the GI Kentucky
Oaks, where she was expected to be the heavy favorite, after
coming down with a fever and being forced to miss training.
Proving no worse for wear with a facile victory in the
GII Summertime Oaks when she returned to the track last June,Songbird took her show on the road to Saratoga, where she
dominated in both the GI CCA Oaks and GI Alabama S. Winningfor fun yet again over GISWs Carina Mia (Malibu Moon) andCathryn Sophia (Street Boss) in Parx=s GI Cotillion S. lastSeptember, the Hollendorfer pupil suffered the first loss of hercareer when a nose second to four-time Eclipse winner andfuture Hall of Famer Beholder (Henny Hughes) after a grittystretch battle in the GI Breeders= Cup Distaff at Santa Anita Nov. 4 (video), after which she collected her second Eclipsestatue. Songbird kicked off this season with a determined one-length victory over GSW Paid Up Subscriber (Candy Ride {Arg})in the GI Ogden Phipps S. on the GI Belmont S. undercard June 10 (video).
Pedigree Notes: Bred on the same Medaglia d=Oro/Forty Niner crossresponsible for Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra, Songbird is ahalf-sister to the dam of GSW Mico Margarita (Run Away andHide) and is a daughter of Ivanavinalot (West Acre), one of thebest horses to ever race in the green-and-white colors of herbreeder Gil Campbell=s Stonehedge Farm.

Ivanavinalot=s marquee win came in the 2003 GII Bonnie Miss
S. Ivanavinalot is a half-sister to the talented six-time stakes
winner Shananie=s Beat (Shananie) and to MSP Beatie=s For Real

Medaglia d=Oro filly Onepointhreekarats, a $1.3 million
Keeneland September yearling who went on to win three stakes
for Charlotte Weber=s Live Oak Plantation. Songbird is kin to the
2-year-old filly Song of Mine (Ghostzapper), an $800,000
acquisition by PTK LLC at last year=s Fasig-Tipton Saratoga sale,
and to a yearling filly by Tapizar. Ivanavinalot, who was bought
back out of the 2015 Fasig-Tipton November sale on a bid of
$885,000, produced a filly from the first crop of Triple Crown
winner American Pharoah Apr. 23.

Frostmourne justified the public=s support with a powerhouse
performance in the Kent. Away well from post six, the dark bay
wove his way in towards the rail and tracked from second
several lengths behind longshot The Tortoise (K One King), who
set early fractions of :24 4/5 and :48 2/5. The chalk closed the
gap as three-quarters went up in 1:12 4/5 and drew even with
the pacesetter on the far turn. Frostmourne blew by The
Tortoise like he was standing still at the top of the lane and flew
home to an ultra-impressive daylight victory.
A decisive debut winner over the Saratoga turf course in
September, Frostmourne checked in fourth behind subsequent
GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Turf hero and recent GI Belmont
Derby winner Oscar Performance (Kitten=s Joy) in the GIII Pilgrim
S. at Belmont Oct. 1. Closing out his juvenile campaign with a
victory in that venue=s Awad S. four weeks later, the homebred
finished a half-length second as the favorite in his seasonal bow
in Aqueduct=s Woodhaven S. Apr. 22. He returned to winning
ways last time with a good-looking score in the June 3 GII Penn
Mile, a race which has produced the likes of Grade I winners
Catch a Glimpse (City Zip), Force the Pass (Speightstown) and
Bobby=s Kitten (Kitten=s Joy).

West Coast registered his first graded stakes success with a
convincing tally in the Los Alamitos Derby. With jockey Drayden
Van Dyke stepping in for Hall of Famer Mike Smith, who was in
Delaware to ride champion Songbird (Medaglia d=Oro) to victory
in the GI Delaware H., the favorite ran in a three-wide fourth
early and was floated out a few more paths rounding the first
turn as Cistron (The Factor) clocked an opening quarter in
:23.73. West Coast continued to run several paths off the rail in
fifth as Cistron was pressed along by comebacking Grade I
winner Klimt through a half in :47.89 and three-quarters in
1:11.64. Still left with plenty of work to do at the top of the long
Los Alamitos stretch, the Bob Baffert trainee steadily progressed
down the center of the track, rolling by his rivals late under a
hand ride to score a decisive victory. ATDN Rising Star@ Klimt,
last seen finishing eighth in the GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Nov. 5,
finished second in his first start since being transferred from
Baffert to trainer Art Sherman.
AThis horse is improving all the time,@ Baffert said. AHe=s
starting to settle down. [Van Dyke] was instructed to wait, wait
and wait with him. If you go too early with him, he doesn=t
finish. It was sort of a gamble to sit back there, but it paid off
because you need to be patient with him. He took off the last
eighth of a mile. He needs to learn how to run like that. Mission
accomplished.@
The Hall of Famer added, AWe=ll look at the [GI] Travers [S. at
Saratoga Aug. 26]. A mile and a quarter should suit him. If he
comes out of this race well and trains well, we=ll go. I think it
would be a good spot for him.==
Graduating at second asking at Santa Anita Mar. 12, West
Coast came up a head short of Senior Investment (Discreetly
Mine) when second in Keenland=s GIII Stonestreet Lexington S.
Apr. 15. Returning to Arcadia to clear his first-level allowance
condition May 20, the $425,000 KEESEP buy was briefly being
considered for the GI Belmont S. June 10, but was instead re-
routed to the Easy Goer S. on the undercard, where he scored a
facile victory.
Pedigree Notes:
West Coast is out of champion Caressing, who took home top
juvenile filly honors in 2000 after a victory in that term=s
GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Fillies. She also won the 2001 GI La
Troienne S. and retired in the summer of 2002 with just shy of a
$1 million in earnings. The 19-year-old mare was not bred back
after producing West Coast and failed to get in foal to
Bodemeister the following season, but produced a Carpe Diem
colt Feb. 18 of this year. Caressing is also responsible for GSP
Juan and Bina (Indian Charlie) and Gold Hawk (Empire Maker).

All too often, preserving history has
been an afterthought in America. Histor-
ical landmarks are demolished to make
way for modernization and progress.
But look around at the towns and cities
that have worked hard to preserve histo-
ry—Colonial Williamsburg, Boston and
Mackinaw Island come to mind—and
you’ll find that doing so has proven to be
a boon to tourism. No racing town does
that better—nor profits more from it—
than Saratoga Springs, New York, where
the recently renovated Adelphi Ho-
tel, which originally opened in 1877, is
scheduled to once again take its place as
the grande dame of Saratoga hotels. We
talk to general manager Michel Ducamp
about the project. We also travel to an-
other famous spa town, France’s Vichy,
where we take a peek at their summer
racing festival; visit the new sustainable
farm-to-table restaurant at Glorious
Goodwood, Farmer Butcher Chef; and
talk to Rick Pitino, whose yearly trips to
Del Mar have proven both fun and prof-
itable.

Pedigree Notes:
Irap is the last produce for the Quebec-bred Silken Cat,
Canada=s Sovereign Award-winning juvenile filly of 1995, whose
first foal, the meticulously managed Speightstown (Gone West),
won the Eclipse Award as champion sprinter in 2004 and has
since become a sire of considerable import. Speightstown is one
of four of Silken Cat=s offspring to summon seven figures as a
yearling, selling for $2 million at the 1999 Keeneland July sale.
The others were Tigerline (Unbridled=s Song), a $1.4 million
2003 FTSAUG buy; Cableknit (Unbridled=s Song), a $1.7 million
2008 KEESEP purchase; and Amour d=Ete (Tiznow), a
$1.75 million 2013 KEESEP buy who never raced and RNA=d for
$725,000 at last year=s Keeneland November sale carrying a foal
by Super Saver. Silken Cat passed away in March 2016.
Irap was offered by Taylor Made on behalf of Aaron and Marie
Jones at the 2015 Keeneland September Sale, but was led out
unsold on a bid of $140,000. He was sold post-RNA to Brady
Grady=s Grand Oaks for $100,000, then sold for $300,000 as an
OBSMAR juvenile.

GIII Indiana Oaks cont.
Overture went to the front and never looked back to notch thefirst graded stakes success of her young career Saturday night inShelbyville. The Florida-bred was making her first start aroundtwo turns for Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott. Breaking from the rail, she made the lead comfortably andcoasted along through fractions of :24.68 and :49.63. Turning forhome while confronted by a pair of rivals, she dug in to findmore and re-broke to report home clearly in front. AComing into the first turn, I was on the lead pretty easily,@said jockey Julien Leparoux. AIt was very comfortable. I took itand she went all the way to the wire.@ A second-out winner going seven furlongs at Gulfstream Apr. 5, the dark bay shipped north and ran second and third in apair of Belmont allowance events May 3 and June 1,respectively. The latter effort came in the wake of UnchainedMelody (Smart Strike), a impressive next-out winner of the July 1 GII Mother Goose S. in Elmont. She worked three times inthe interim. AWe=ve always liked the filly,@ said Kenny McCarthy, assistantto Mott. AHer last race was maybe a bit of a head-scratcher. Buteven based on that, Bill thought she fit here tonight.@ Sean Tugel, director of bloodstock for WinStar Farm added,AIt=s fantastic. Her running lines over her last couple of raceshave been very good. The filly that beat her last time out cameback and one the Mother Goose last week. She=s a filly wethought would really appreciate the two turns, and we got herout of New York, which was a one-turn mile and a sixteenth.@
Pedigree Notes: Acquired for $385,000 as an OBS March 2-year-old in training,the winner is a half to SW & GSP Mexikoma (Birdstone). Seconddam Hidden Pleasure is a half-sister to GSW and sire Luftikus(Meadowlake). Toccet Over has an unnamed 2-year-old colt byMalibu Moon and a weanling filly by Bernardini.
NYRA Eyeing Night Racing at Belmont cont. from p1
AHow do we deliver racing in a way where people are going to
say I like this sport and I want to do it again?@ he said. AYou can
do some of that on their smart phones, but you can=t start a
relationship on the phone. You have to have face-to-face
interaction. So how do we bring more people to our NYRA tracks
to enjoy all we=ve done over the last four years to make it a
compelling experience? That=s our challenge. That=s precisely
why we are trying to get approval from the legislature to get
racing at night at Belmont two nights a week during both the
spring and fall meets. Most young people are at work during the
daytime. Most people, period, are at work during the daytime. If
you=ve never been brought out to the track as a young boy or
girl how do I get you to come out now? Well, I let you come out
after work, just the way the Yankees and the Mets and the Red
Sox do. On weekdays they have their events at night. I think
that=s the smart way for us to go in the future.@
Kay said the most recent legislative session ended without the
Assembly having a chance to act on the bill and the next
opportunity for it to do so will not be until 2018. If the bill sails
through the Assembly and is signed by Governor Andrew
Cuomo, it=s possible there could be night racing at Belmont as
soon as the 2018 fall meet or the 2019 spring meet.
AWe will continue with our efforts to try to make this happen
because I think it is important not only to the New York Racing
Association, but for the entire industry,@ Kay said. AWe=ve got 18
million people in the area. We want to say to these people,
>Come on out on a Thursday night or a Friday or Saturday night,=
depending what the schedule might look like, and have a great
time. You can have dinner, wager on the races, it will be fun.
This would appeal to a lot of things people are searching for
right now in America.@

NYRA Eyeing Night Racing at Belmont cont.
NYRA has already looked into what would be involved so far as
adding lights to the massive Belmont facility.
AWhat we=ve looked at is to have a state of the art lighting
system, an LED system that would shine directly on the track so
there isn=t that effusion to the area around it,@ Kay said. AYou
can actually dial up and dial down the intensity of the lighting.
You could have the lights dialed up with seven minutes before
post time and after the race has been completed you can dial
them down. The technology is there that makes it very effective.
It=s the same technology being used at other sporting venues
and even with bridges. These lights will cost more initially to use,
but it is worth it. It is worth it for the neighborhood and for the
fans.@
Kay said there are no plans to bring night racing to Saratoga.
AThere is a very different audience at Saratoga than at
Belmont,@ he said APeople come as families for three, four, five
days to Saratoga. Our research has shown that 60 percent of the
people who come to Saratoga live outside the nine-county
capital region. So they will come for several days as a family for
a vacation. Their intention is to have an enjoyable day at the
track, like people have an enjoyable day at a theme park.@
Breaking news: Key House committee votes to reopen horse
slaughter plants in U.S. Today, the Appropriations Committee of
the U.S. House of Representatives voted narrowly to give the
green light for the reopening of horse slaughter plants in the
United States. There were 27 members of Congress who voted
against the bipartisan amendment offered by Reps. Lucille
Roybal-Allard, D-Calif., and Charlie Dent, R-Pa., to bar horse
slaughter operations in the United States, and 25 who supported
it. All but one Democrat on the committee voted to oppose this
dreadful idea, while 26 of 30 Republicans favored it. Wayne

the first time in nearly two years, the gray broke alertly, but
allowed King Kreesa (King Cugat) to take the early lead and
settled into a stalking third along the rail. He was tipped out
three wide at the top of the lane and bounded to the lead
before sailing home an easy winner. AI think he=s a very nice
horse,@ said trainer Christophe Clement. AWe=ll have to think
about putting together a nice summer campaign. I think he=s top
class. He=s not Breeders= Cup eligible, so I=ll have to speak with
Mr. [Frank] and Mrs. [Patricia] Generazio and we=ll try to map
out the next two to three starts for him between now and the

Also Ran: Morrison, Over Salty. Scratched: Lake Party.
What a Catch tracked the pace and rallied to score decisively
on debut going five furlongs at Belmont June 2 and made it two
in a row with a front-running score in the Rockville Centre S.
Saturday, becoming the first stakes winner for his freshman sire
(by First Samurai). Showing the way through fractions of :23.12
and :46.48, he was confronted by Morning Breez in the stretch,
but dug in to find more late and claim the victory. What a Catch
is a half-brother to Catch the Moon (Malibu Moon), who
produced this year=s GII Twinspires.com Louisiana Derby winner
Girvin (Tale of Ekati) and fellow graded winner Cocked and
Loaded (Colonel John). The dam produced a Justin Phillip filly
this spring.
"I thought he was very professional,@ said Byron Hughes,
assistant to winning trainer Todd Pletcher. AHe acted good in the
paddock, post parade, broke sharp and fought off the
second-place horse, who's a nice horse himself. I thought it was
a good race overall."

second choice was unhurried early and settled well off the pace.
He improved his position on the turn, angled out five wide at the
top of the lane and wore down pacesetting favorite Collective
Effort (Mission Impazible) to graduate by a half-length. Mr. Pete
is the third winner for his freshman sire (by Harlan=s Holiday).
Stakes-placed Dakota Doll, a half-sister to stakes winner Lovely

got her nose in front of Lull (War Front) to win the May 20
Soaring Softly S. at Belmont last time out. The bay jumped to the
early lead, but settled into second as Smiling Causeway assumed
control after a quarter in :22.47. Smiling Causeway opened a
clear lead midway on the turn and she was two lengths in front
at the top of the lane, but Morticia reeled her in down the

Lipstick City broke through and notched her first stakes victory
in the Saturday feature at the Jersey Shore. A first-out winner in
a blanket finish at Belmont last September, the dark bay missed
the board in three subsequent tries--including an eighth in the
GIII Jessamine S. She recently returned from a short layoff to run
second in an entry-level allowance test over this course June 11
and was bet down to heavy favoritism once again here. Settling
into stride from between horses going around the first turn,
Lipstick City was patiently handled behind a half-mile in :49.47.
She split horses entering the far turn, swept up four wide
turning for home and rallied past Majestic Bonnie to cross the
wire in front. AI saw Watch Your Six go to the front and set a
moderate tempo,@ winning rider Nik Juarez said. AOnce we got
to the backstretch, she was running comfortably. When I got to
the 3/8ths pole, I was looking for a seam and saw Eddie [Castro]
make a move and followed him through it. At the top of the lane
she changed leads, responded well and finished nicely.@ The

a quarter in :22.33. She snuck through along the rail as
pacesetting favorite Dawn Lightning (The Factor) drifted out
slightly and powered clear in the dying strides to win by one
length. Afsaneh (Scat Daddy) just nosed out Dawn Lightning for
second. Brexit Revenge is the first winner for her freshman sire

2016 for Pat Madden and John Stevens after producing Brexit
Revenge. The mare had two recorded works at Monmouth this
May, but is back in Florida recuperating from a knee chip,
according to Stephens. AWe had them in the barn together at
Monmouth and it was kind of cool--we took them over to gate

while trying the turf for the first time going a mile against

improved second dropping back to six furlongs over the Presque
Isle synthetic May 21. Favored in her latest start over that track
and trip June 6, the homebred came home a comfortable
winner and was given lukewarm odds while trying open
company here. At the back of the field in the early going, Tulsa
Queen angled out turning for home, rallied between favored

IN TDN AMERICA TODAYSONGBIRD LANDS DEL ‘CAP ‘TDN Rising Star’ Songbird (Medaglia d’Oro) got the job done in
the GI Delaware H. Saturday, her 13th win from 14 starts. Click

ENABLE POWERS TOCLASSIC DOUBLE
With the middle-distance 3-year-old colts failing to provide a
generation leader, Juddmonte=s G1 Epsom Oaks heroine Enable
(GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) laid claim to being the best of both sexes
in her age group on Saturday with a powerful display in the
G1 Darley Irish Oaks at The Curragh. Never out of her comfort
zone, the homebred surged away from overmatched rivals to
make her odds of 2-5 look generous as she slammed the
G1 Pretty Polly S. runner-up Rain Goddess (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) by
5 1/2 lengths. In this imperious mood, there would have to be
some serious improvers among either the King George or Arc
protagonists to stop her from dominating at Ascot in a fortnight
or at Chantilly in October if connections go that way.
Frankie Dettori, who only returned this week after suffering a
shoulder injury last month, was taken aback by the
performance. AI think she has improved since Epsom--she was
always in second gear and when I gave her a backhander she
flew,@ he commented after steering his fourth Irish Oaks winner.
AI was able to ease my way to the line and save my shoulder.
She is amazing. She has a good cruising speed for a stayer and
can quicken and gets the distance really well. She doesn=t do
much at home and is hard to gauge, but as long as she gives
performances like that we don=t have to worry too much.@

>HARRY= BESTS ELDERS AND WINS THE >CUP=Ground down by Caravaggio (Scat Daddy) in Royal Ascot=s
G1 Commonwealth Cup June 23, Godolphin=s acquisition Harry
Angel (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) came back from the canvass with
steel in his veins to comprehensively reverse that form in
Saturday=s G1 Darley July Cup at Newmarket. Joined by
Ballydoyle=s Intelligence Cross (War Front) on the front end as
he had been at Ascot, the 9-2 shot had his blood up once more
but this time had plenty left to shake off that rival inside the
final quarter mile. Powering through the closing stages as the
slow-starting 10-11 favourite Caravaggio failed to make serious
inroads, Harry Angel hit the line strong with 1 1/4 lengths to
spare over last year=s winner Limato (Ire) (Tagula {Ire}), with the
outsider Brando (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) a half-length away denying
Caravaggio a place in the frame by a short head. AHe=d have won
last time without a shadow of a doubt and I knew he was the
best, but it was a little bit unfortunate the way the race turned
out,@ jockey Adam Kirby commented. Cont. p4 (Click here)

Enable Powers to Classic Double Cont. from p1
AI probably came back a week or two early, but this was the
dangling carrot that made me,@ he added.
Thoughts that Enable would be this good at the start of the
year were fanciful, even allowing for the promise of her debut
win over a mile on Newcastle=s Tapeta at the end of November.
All focus was on her stablemate Shutter Speed (GB) (Dansili
{GB}) as they lined up for the same 10-furlong conditions race at
Newbury Apr. 2 which had been taken by a previous Oaks
heroine in Light Shift (Kingmambo) and that proved correct as
Enable finished third behind her and the eventual G3 Bahrain
Trophy scorer Raheen House (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}). It was
only when she upset Alluringly (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) on her first
attempt at this kind of trip in the
May 10 Listed Cheshire Oaks that
she drew attention from the
pundits, but in the lead-up to the
June 2 Epsom Classic it was all
about Rhododendron (Ire) (Galileo
{Ire}). In a dramatic storm, Khalid
Abdullah=s homebred displayed
what she was truly capable of by
cracking that Ballydoyle favourite
and going away to score by five
lengths in race-record time. There
was certainly more to take from
that race than the blue riband 24
hours later and she proved here
that she would be more than a match for any colt around.
Travelling with elan as she tracked the leader Bengala (Fr)
(Pivotal {GB}) in a clear second throughout the early stages,
there was a danger that she was overdoing it, but as soon as
Frankie asked the question in the straight she settled any
worries in an instant. As Rain Goddess emerged to chase, she
could have tired but instead she continued to grow stronger as
the line approached and she duly hit that in a rapid time.
AShe did it very well and got a nice lead into the straight,@
trainer John Gosden commented. AI couldn=t be more pleased
and she has probably come on since Epsom. She has tactical
speed and a great temperament and has always been a lovely
filly to be around. The [G1] King George and Queen Elizabeth S.
is an option, but I see she has a near-hind cut so we=ll have to
see. There is also the [Aug. 24 G1] Yorkshire Oaks and the [Oct.
1] Arc, so we have plenty of options.@
Teddy Grimthorpe was also impressed. AThat was very
exciting--it=s a long time back to [the operation=s two previous
Irish Oaks winners] Wemyss Bight and Bolas and she has done it
in the style of a top-class filly,@ he commented. AThe way the
race was run at Epsom, they really put it to her and she
outstayed them and although today the pace was not quite so
energetic and it was run at a
sensible gallop it was something
to get a good stride into. She was
very much physically tall and leggy
at two, but has got some
substance and strength to her
now and also has a very nice
temperament. I=d have to talk to
John and Prince Khalid about the
King George, as it could come too
soon and we could instead go to
the Yorkshire Oaks and other
races in the autumn. She=d have
to be supplemented for the Arc,
but they are nice thoughts to have.@
Dermot Weld was delighted with the performance of last
year=s G3 C.L. & M.F. Weld Park S. scorer Eziyra (Ire) (Teofilo
{Ire}) and said, AThat was an excellent renewal of the race and I
am thrilled with her. She was a good group winner over seven at
two and the way she got that trip, we might look at further with
her. There is the [G2] Park Hill [S. at Doncaster Sept. 14] and
possibly the [G2] Prix de Royallieu [at Chantilly Sept. 30]. She is a
filly that is just developing and coming at the right time.@ Cont. p3

John Gosden also said of >TDN Rising Star= and the
G2 Ribblesdale S. winner Coronet (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), who
plugged on into fourth, AShe was not happy and was changing
her legs on the track, with Olivier Peslier niggling her along
early. She is a better filly than that and we live to fight another
day.@
Pedigree Notes... Enable is out of the Listed Prix Charles Laffitte winner and
G3 Prix de Flore runner-up Concentric, who also produced the
G2 Prix de Pomone and G3 Prix Allez France third Contribution.
She is one of five black-type performers to have emerged from
the G3 Prix de Royaumont winner Apogee alongside sire Apsis
(GB) and the G1 Prix de Diane runner-up Dance Routine (GB)
(Sadler=s Wells). The latter is in turn responsible for the multiple
top-flight winner and champion Flintshire (GB) (Dansili {GB})
who was twice second in the Arc, and also the G2 Prix Kergolay
third Dance Moves (GB) (Dansili {GB}). Apogee=s Listed Prix
Joubert winner Space Quest (GB) (Rainbow Quest) is the dam of
the G2 Prix du Conseil de Paris runner-up Kocab (GB)
(Unfuwain), while the third dam is Bourbon Girl who was
runner-up in both the G1 English and Irish Oaks. Her best
progeny was the G2 Grand Prix de Chantilly winner and
G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud runner-up Daring Miss (GB)
(Sadler=s Wells). The family also features the G1 Grand Prix de
Saint-Cloud-winning sire Spanish Moon and G2 Ribblesdale S.
scorer Spanish Sun (El Prado {Ire}). Concentric also has a
2-year-old colt by Dansili (GB) named Centroid (GB), a yearling
filly also by that sire and a filly foal by Frankel (GB). Click for the

Harry Bests Elders and Wins The >Cup= Cont. from p1 (click here)
AHe had no right to finish second in that race and to be fair to
him it flung him forward,@ said Kirby. AHe=s gone from boy to
man with every race and I can=t express how good he is.@
Harry Angel had his issues with the starting stalls during his
2-year-old days, but they did not stop him winning the G2 Mill
Reef S. as a maiden at Newbury in September and his comeback
effort when 1 1/2-lengths second to Blue Point (Ire) (Shamardal)
giving him four pounds in the May 3 G3 Pavilion S. at Ascot
marked him as a serious prospect for the major sprints. Taking a
leap forward by breaking the course record in the six-furlong
G2 Sandy Lane S. at Haydock May 27, he allowed himself to be
drawn into a slogging match with Intelligence Cross in the
Commonwealth Cup and with his guard dropped opened himself
up to a late assault from Caravaggio.
Clive Cox had talked about the way he had emerged from that
encounter and the money spoke for him despite the significant
sums lumped on Ballydoyle=s great hope.
Whereas Intelligence Cross had spoilt his party at Ascot, Harry
Angel refused to allow him to get to him this time even though
he tended to over-race again. Ryan Moore tracked Limato after
missing the kick, but they were always playing catch-up and
Caravaggio was relying on the leader caving in and his turn of
acceleration proving as effective as it had at the Royal meeting.
By the furlong pole, it was clear that neither situation was
unfolding and the grey merely plugged on towards the stand=s
side as Harry Angel roared on in isolation.
Clive Cox has his eye on the Sept. 9 G1 Haydock Sprint Cup
now. AHe=s always been special, but he=s taken kid gloves to get
going,@ he said. AWe always hoped he was Group 1 material and
he is. I=m so pleased to get this for Sheikh Mohammed on his
birthday and am so pleased for my team. It was really funny, but
when he was beaten at Ascot Adam was disappointed and the
look in the horse=s eye coming off the track there seemed to say,
>okay guys I=m getting this now.= I=ve not needed an alarm clock
in the morning since I got this horse and I was very confident
coming here.@ Cont. p5Harry Angel and Adam Kirby | Racing Post

Harry Bests Elders and Wins The >Cup= Cont.
Limato=s trainer Henry Candy was offering no excuses
afterwards. AI think Harry Angel is a very good horse, but Harry
Bentley was very positive and said he felt as good as he ever,@
he said. AHe moved well on the ground and did everything right,
it=s just that Harry Angel went quicker. There will be no more
five furlongs for him. It will be the Sprint Cup if it=s dry and the
[Oct. 1 G1 Prix de la] Foret if it=s dry.@
Brando=s handler Kevin Ryan was relieved to see his stable star
come back to his best after a tame display in the G2 Duke of
York S. and said, AHe could have done with a bit more cut in the
ground. The obvious race for him would be the [G1 Prix]
Maurice de Gheest [at Deauville Aug. 6]. He would have got
another furlong today. I would like to come back for Champions
Day at Ascot.@
Aidan O=Brien took Caravaggio=s first defeat on the chin. AHe
ran very well. Ryan said he was a little bit slow out the gates and
that probably left him a bit on the back foot,@ he commented.
AI=m not making any excuses.@
Pedigree Notes... Harry Angel=s dam Beatrix Potter is a half-sister to Xtension
(Ire) (Xaar {GB}), a former Clive Cox star who captured the
seven-furlong G2 Vintage S. before winning the G1 Champions
Mile twice and finishing runner-up in the Hong Kong Derby and
Hong Kong Gold Cup for John Moore. His family also features
the G1 National S. runner-up Wathab (Ire), the GII Seminole H.-
winning Minneapple and GII Ohio Derby scorer Private Man and
Lord Avie, Steven Got Even and Artemis Agrotera. The dam also
has a 2-year-old filly by Kodiac (GB) named Cileopatra (Ire). Click

Early clues that Gustav Klimt occupied a high placing in the
pecking order among the Ballydoyle juveniles came when he
was introduced in the same six-furlong Curragh maiden May 28
used to launch Churchill (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) 12 months earlier
and like that dual Classic hero, he was not sharp enough to
come out on top. Showing some promise in fifth there, he was
sent to the track=s seven-furlong maiden July 2 which the stable
had won with Duke of Marmalade (Ire), Rip Van Winkle (Ire),
Roderic O=Connor (Ire), The United States (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and
Gleneagles (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and was able to demonstrate his
obvious class and earn >TDN Rising Star= status with an
authoritative success. The portents were strong as he proved
hot property in the market for this and all seemed to be going to
plan as he enjoyed a perfect rhythm near the steady early pace.
Held on to by Ryan Moore as the sprint began passing halfway,
Gustav Kilmt met significant trouble 1 1/2 out as he was
snatched up and his chance looked temporarily lost there. If his
rider was perturbed, visually it was impossible to tell as he drew
on all the calm his experience and skill has endowed him with
and switched his mount towards the far rail. Picking up
impressively in the style of a potential Guineas colt from there,
he caught the strong-finishing Nebo 50 yards from the line
before his Galileo staying power kicked in.
AHe=s a very good horse and I really liked him on both starts,@
his rider said. AHe ran real green, as he had never been in tight
before but that was a very good performance to get back from
there. He has a lot of potential and settles very well and has a
very good turn of foot.@
Typically, the bookmakers ran scared afterwards and cut the
winner to prohibitive odds of around 6-1, but Aidan O=Brien is
planning on putting Gustav Klimt along the lines of his past
potential top-notchers. ARyan felt the last day when he let him
go at the Curragh he surprised him how he quickened and he
was always going to take his time on him,@ he explained.

G2 Superlative S. Cont.
AHe was just coming and it got a little bit tight, but he switched
him very quick and he took off. We always thought he would be
a National S. and Dewhurst-type horse. Obviously we have the
Futurity [at The Curragh Aug. 20] and that is a Group 2. They are
the races we would be thinking of.@
Charlie Hills was delighted with the runner-up Nebo, who was
bouncing back from a latest flop when only ninth in the G2
Coventry S. AHe has run a great race,@ he said. AI think he is quick
enough for six. He is just a proper 2-year-old. He probably just
got a little bit lost in the dip. When he hit the rising ground he
came on again. He has got a few entries abroad.@
Pedigree Notes... Gustav Klimt is the eighth winner produced by the speedy
Listed Empress S. winner and G2 Prix Robert Papin runner-up
Massarra and is potentially the best on this display. His
full-siblings include the stable=s G3 Silver Flash S. winner
Wonderfully (Ire), the Listed Naas Sprint S. scorer Cuff (Ire) and
the G1 St James=s Palace S. third Mars (Ire), the last of which
enjoyed a tall reputation at Ballydoyle in his formative period.
He is also a half to the G1 Gran Criterium-winning Italian
highweight Nayarra and to the dams of this year=s Listed
Lingfield Oaks Trial winner and G2 Ribblesdale S. third Hertford
Dancer (GB) (Foxwedge {Aus}) and the Listed Lingfield Derby
Trial scorer Kilimanjaro (Ire) (High Chaparral {Ire}). The second
dam is the G1 Prix de Diane heroine Rafha, whose seven
black-type performers are headed by the G1 Haydock Sprint Cup
winner and imperious sire presence Invincible Spirit (Ire) and
also Kodiac (GB) who is making his own name.
This dynasty is a perfect blend of speed and stamina, with the
middle-distance performers Sadian (GB) (Shirley Heights {GB}),
Acts of Grace (Bahri) and Chinese White (Ire) (Dalakhani {Ire})
complementing the sprinters and also extends internationally,
most notably via the G1 Inglis Sires and G1 Blue Diamond S. hero
Pride of Dubai (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire}). The dam also has a
yearling full-sister to the winner. Click for the free

Steadied to race fifth of the seven until inching into third at
halfway, he took closer order under pressure once into the
home straight and swept by long-time leader Kaspersky at the
eighth pole en route to a third black-type score. AI was a bit
worried about the ground beforehand, as they had a bit of rain
there, but he won well,@ said trainer William Haggas. AThe jockey
seemed to be confident that he would catch Kaspersky up front.

Caspian Prince, who registered four wins from 22 starts during
an early apprenticeship in France, claimed a first stakes success
in last term=s Listed Mercury S. at Dundalk and bagged a
valuable handicap win at Epsom in his penultimate start June 3.
Fourth in another valuable handicap at Musselburgh last time
June 17, the veteran chestnut caused a shock here by narrowly
defeating last term=s G1 Prix de l=Abbaye heroine and 1-2 chalk
Marsha for a personal best, representing a sixth individual
trainer, at the age of eight. Bounding straight to the front and
enjoying a break on the pack through the initial fractions, he
came under pressure soon after halfway and rallied gamely
when headed by Marsha entering the final eighth to regain the
initiative from that rival on the line.
AIt=s always going to be close in a race like that, but I didn=t
expect to come and beat Marsha today,@ explained owner
Stephen Louch. AShe=s a good horse and we knew we were in
with a chance, but to actually achieve it and get a group race
under his belt is brilliant. We picked him up in the sale at
Deauville, he is a star and it=s fantastic. We=ve fallen in love with
him and won=t let him go as we want to see him finish his
career, hopefully, with a few more nice wins.@

G3 Anglesey S. Cont.
Racing in a close-up third until forming a leading wave of three
at halfway, the bay was pushed into a narrow lead at the two
pole and kept on strongly under mainly whipless rousting from
there to comfortably assert superiority for a career high.
AI rode her over five [furlongs at Tipperary] last week and
thought they didn=t go quick enough for me as she was an
out-and-out sprinter,@ explained Seamus Heffernan. AI didn=t
think she=d see out this trip as well, but I kept her at it. If they
have a bit of pace and want to go forward it=s better to leave
them at it. I knew when I saw Kevin [Manning on Theobald] give
his horse a slap I had him beaten and then I could see Colm
[O=Donoghue on Brother Bear] getting further away from me. I
was fairly confident after giving her one tap it was mine. I=d say,
being by Declaration of War, the fast ground is a fair help. It has
taken her a while to come, but when Aidan=s 2-year-olds do they
can take their racing. I was drawn in the middle of the track and
I came up the middle of the track. It was uncomplicated and she
won very easily.@

also for MGSW GI Spinaway S. runner-up Nasty Storm (Gulch),

MADE FOR THE DEEP END Ambitiously named, Nadine Chiari=s Phelps Win (Fr)
(Muhtathir {GB}) is living up to his title at present and arrives at
Maisons-Laffitte on Sunday for his biggest test in the G2 Prix
Eugene Adam. Last seen comprehensively beating >TDN Rising
Star= Plumatic (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) in the nine-furlong G3 Prix de
Guiche at Chantilly May 7, he was improving there off a prior
second to Graphite (Fr) (Shamardal) in the G3 Prix la Force over
the same course and distance Apr. 9 and could yet be anything.
This has the look of a smart race, with Haras de Saint Pair=s >TDN
Rising Star= Volfango (Ire) (Dutch Art {GB}) defending his
unbeaten record off a similar sojourn having scored over 10
furlongs here May 24 and Andre Fabre bringing Godolphin=s
Apr. 25 Listed Prix de Suresnes scorer Avilius (GB) (Pivotal {GB})
back over the same track and trip.
AAvilius is well and in good form,@ Godolphin=s Lisa-Jane
Graffard said. AHe only just does enough at home, so it is hard to
gauge his ability, but he is ready to run up to his best. He won
the Prix Suresnes here over the course and distance in April and
has been pointing at this race ever since.@

Khalid Abdullah=s Finche (GB) (Frankel {GB}), who was third
behind Al Shaqab=s unbeaten Afandem (Fr) (Zoffany {Ire}) in the
ListedPrix Ridgway over this trip at Compiegne June 12.
MAKING THE CONNECTION Without a pattern-race win since last July, Godolphin=s Dutch
Connection (GB) (Dutch Art {GB}) may have been found an ideal
opportunity to regain some self-esteem in Sunday=s G2 Minstrel
S. at The Curragh. Since his success in the G2 Lennox S. during
last year=s Glorious Goodwood meeting, the chestnut has been
out of the frame on four occasions but there was a glimmer that
he retained ability when sixth in the G1 Queen Anne S. at Royal
Ascot June 20. ADutch Connection has been pleasing me since
his first run of the year at Royal Ascot,@ trainer Charlie Hills
commented. AWe wanted to get another run into him prior to
going for the [Aug. 1] Lennox S. again and seven furlongs on
quick ground will suit.@
Dutch Connection was the winner of the G3 Jersey S. two
years ago and that honour almost fell to Spirit of Valor (War
Front) this season. Caught late by Le Brivido (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) in
that seven-furlong contest June 21, he is the pick of Ryan Moore
over last year=s G2 Joel S. winner Cougar Mountain (Ire) (Fastnet
Rock {Aus}) and last year=s G3 Anglesey S. scorer Peace Envoy
(Fr) (Power {GB}). This tight affair also features last year=s
G1 Prix Jean Prat runner-up Stormy Antarctic (GB) (Stormy
Atlantic), who came back to something like his best last time
when second to the smart Morando (Fr) (Kendargent {Fr}) in
Windsor=s Listed Midsummer S. at a mile July 1.
RENEWING RIVALRY Sunday=s G2 Kilboy Estate S. at The Curragh looks a wide-open
affair without a stand-out and features the July 2 G1 Pretty Polly
S. third and fifth Turret Rocks (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) and
Laganore (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), who were also first and
second respectively in the G3 Blue Wind S. over 10 furlongs here
May 13. Martyn Meade sends across the May 31 Listed
Nottinghamshire Oaks scorer Wilamina (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}),
while the 3-year-old generation=s representation is made up of a
duo from Ballydoyle headed by the Pretty Polly ninth
Pocketfullofdreams (Fr) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}).
AL WUKAIR RETURNS Sunday=s action at Maisons-Laffitte will offer some key clues
for the remainder of the season and all eyes will be on Al
Wukair (Ire) (Dream Ahead) as he comes back in the G3 Prix
Messidor. Last seen finishing third in the G1 2000 Guineas May
6, Al Shaqab Racing=s class act has course form having won the
Apr. 10 G3 Prix Djebel and remains one of the year=s most
exciting prospects. Due to weight-for-age and the penalty
system, he gets eight pounds from Shadwell=s Taareef (Kitten=s
Joy) who returned to upstage his stablemate Zelzal (Fr) (Sea the
Stars {Ire}) in Chantilly=s G3 Prix Bertrand du Breuil at this trip

RISING STARDOM= AT THE CURRAGH The Pentagon, who was a June 10 debut sixth behind the >TDN
Rising Star= performance of Verbal Dexterity (Ire) (Vocalised)
over this course and distance last time, earned similar status
with a dominant display in this return. Breaking well from an
outer gate to lead after the initial strides, the 9-2 chance
maintained control thereafter and powered ever clear under
mild urging inside the final quarter mile to easily account for
Medal of Honour (GB) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) by an impressive
8 1/2 lengths.
AHe did it nicely and he=s a nice colt,@ said winning rider Ana
O=Brien. AHe travelled easy and went forward when I asked him.
He made his own way home and did it the hard way. It was soft
ground the first day he ran and he liked that better ground
today. It is beautiful good-to-firm ground.@
His stablemate Mendelssohn (Scat Daddy), a $3-million KEESEP
half-brother to the incredible MGISW Beholder (Henny Hughes)
and GISW sire Into Mischief (Harlan's Holiday), was a shade
green through the early strides and made little impact with an

highs in Goodwood=s 2014 and 2016 G2 King George S.--as well
as hitting the board in last term=s G1 Nunthorpe S. over this
course and distance--and lined up here coming back from a
seventh in Haydock=s May 27 G2 Temple S. and a fifth in Royal
Ascot=s G1 King=s Stand S. last time. Sharply into stride to hold a
slender advantage through halfway, he was strongly pressed
inside the final quarter mile and kept on resolutely under a drive
to gamely hold on for a sixth black-type rosette.
Take Cover is the sole stakes scorer for Enchanted (GB) (Magic
Ring {Ire}), who ran third in the Listed Kilvington Fillies= S., and is
herself the leading achiever for her own dam Snugfit Annie (GB)
(Midyan). Take Cover=s fourth dam Perfect Aim (Busted {GB}) is
a half-sister to the Ribbelsdale S. victrix Tender Annie (Tenerani
{Ity}) and Coronation S. heroine Aiming High II (Djebe {Fr}), who
in turn is the dam of three stakes winners headed by Manhattan
H. victor and Belmont S. second Ruritania (Graustark).
Enchanted=s youngest progeny are an as yet unnamed 2-year-
old colt by Sepoy (Aus) and a yearling colt by Nathaniel (Ire).

Already a dual winner at this tricky track last summer, Viscount
Barfield had earned a tilt at black-type with a latest success in a
handicap over this trip at York June 17 and course experience
paid off as he spun round the tight circuit to upset Jungle Cat.
Held up early off the inevitable tussle for the lead, the bay
stayed on the rail and enjoyed a perfect split to take the
advantage passing the furlong pole after which he had a touch
more stamina than the favourite.
The dam, who also has a 3-year-old filly named All of Me (GB)
(Teofilo {Ire}) and a juvenile filly called I Can Fly (GB) (Fastnet
Rock {Aus}), is a half-sister to the ill-fated G1 Poule d=Essai des
Poulains and GI Keeneland Turf Mile S. winner Landseer (GB)
(Danehill) and the Listed Gala S. scorer and G1SP Ikhtyar (Ire)
(Unfuwain). The third dam Flood (Riverman) is a half-sister to
the GI Californian S. heroine Sabona (Exclusive Native) with both
being daughters of the Hail To Reason mare Hail Maggie, herself
a full-sister to the champion Trillion who had the multiple group
1-winning Triptych from a mating with Riverman. Click for the

MITTENS (GB) (f, 3, New Approach {Ire}--Warm Hands {GB}, by
Oasis Dream {GB}), a handicap scorer at Newmarket last time
July 1, tracked the leaders in fifth for most of this straight mile.
Cruising up to the leaders with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining, the 3-1
favourite led on the bridle entering the final eighth and surged
clear in the closing stages to easily best Havre de Paix (Fr) (Le
Havre {Ire}) by an impressive 3 1/4 lengths. The homebred bay
was produced by a winning sibling of G2 Prix de Malleret and GII
Sheepshead Bay S. Treat Gently (GB) (Cape Cross {Ire}), and

Nayef), who had gone up the handicap rankings significantly
after scoring by eight lengths in a Brighton handicap over this
trip June 9, broke slowly and raced towards the rear early.
Brought to the far side in the final three furlongs, the 3-1 second
favourite rolled by Batts Rock (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) with 150
yards remaining and asserted for a 1 3/4-length success. The
dam, who has a 2-year-old filly by Dubawi (Ire) named
Nomoathaj (Ire), is a half to another who failed to shine initially
but quickly made up for lost time in Dubawi=s Makfi (GB).
European champion 3-year-old colt as a result of his wins in the
G1 2000 Guineas and G1 Prix Jacques le Marois, he hails from

LARAAIB (IRE) (c, 3, Pivotal {GB}--Sahool {GB} {SW & MGSP-
Eng, $164,316}, by Unfuwain), who beat the subsequent King
George V S. winner Atty Persse (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) with
authority in a handicap over this trip at Haydock last time May
26, was tardy from the gates but quickly recovered to travel
with ease in mid-division. Granted a perfect seam on the inner
straightening for home, the 2-1 favourite gained the lead
approaching the furlong pole and only needed to be kept up to
his work to comfortably beat Banditry (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}) by two
lengths. The winner, who looks to have pattern-class potential,
is out of the smart Sahool who took the Listed Chalice S. and was
second in the G2 Ribblesdale S. and G2 Lancashire Oaks. She is a
half-sister to Nasanice (Ire) (Nashwan), dam of Shadwell=s
popular and consistent performer Maraahel (Ire) who was the
winner of the G2 Hardwicke S. on two occasions and placed in
group 1 company six times. Also a half to the dams of last year=s

fourth after the initial exchanges here. Creeping ever closer to
launch his bid passing the quarter-mile marker, the 14-1 chance
was ridden to the front with 100 yards remaining and kept on
well to prevail by 1 3/4 lengths from Midnight Wilde (GB) (Poet=s

AShe did a nice bit of work the other day and the fillies are just
coming to hand now,@ trainer Charlie Appleby said. AI=ve not
really run many fillies, as they have taken time to come to hand.
She has got a great pedigree and trip-wise she will get further.
She would be fine over seven furlongs or a mile. I know this was
only a maiden, but she has got plenty of boot. She travelled very
well and picked up well. She is a filly with a bright future. The
[G1] Moyglare [Stud S. at The Curragh Sept. 10], on the back of
that, is quite a realistic target. To be fair it is a little bit tricky
placing fillies like this when they win a class two maiden, as it
rules them out of novice events. She might be one that has to be
thrown in the deep end and go straight there.@ Speirbhean, who
broke her maiden in the same 1000 Guineas Trial as her
daughter Bean Feasa when it was run as a listed race in 2001,
also produced the dam of the G3 Blue Wind S. runner-up We=ll
Go Walking (Ire) (Authorized {Ire}). She descends from the
Canadian champion Victorian Queen, whose progeny includes
the sires Judge Angelucci and War and the GI John Henry H.

>QUEBEC= RESISTS >SIEGE= TO REMAIN PERFECT Siege of Quebec (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), a A$1.2m Inglis
Easter yearling, prevailed in a thriller, to take his record to two-
for-two in a 1400-metre handicap at Rosehill Saturday (Video),
reported Racenet.com. The full-brother to Australian Group 3
winner and MG1SP Bull Point (Aus) flashed good speed from the
stalls, but seemed in deep water on the far turn, as the Chris
Waller-trained Calculated (Aus) (So You Think {NZ}) appeared
poised to pounce. Siege of Quebec wasn=t finished yet though
and hit another gear to win by a half-length.
AHe looked under a bit of pressure at the top of the straight,
but that=s just the colt, he=s certainly got plenty of fighting
qualities,@ remarked co-trainer Adrian Bott, who trains in
partnership with Gai Waterhouse. AHe=s such a naturally
talented horse, but there=s a lot of raw ability there at the
moment. He=s still working out what it=s all about, still learning
when to quicken, when to let down, but when he=s challenged
he knows exactly what to do and importantly at the moment he
knows where the line is. He=s bred to be anything. Once he puts
it all together and learns, he=ll be a serious horse.@
A first out winner over 1250 metres at Newcastle on June 27,
Siege of Quebec, who races for an ownership group headed by
Coolmore, will now be given some time off, with an eye toward
the G1 Golden Rose at Rosehill on Sept. 9.
Added Bott, AThe immediate plan is that we will be heading
towards the Golden Rose. We have a plan mapped out for him,
probably going through the [G3] Ming Dynasty [Quality H. Aug.
26] leading in.@
AHe=s a smart colt,@ said Berry. AI=m very thankful of Adrian and
Gai and the Coolmore boys for giving me the ride. I=ve had a lot
of luck with them in the past with some very good horses
including the stallion Vancouver (Aus) (Medaglia d=Oro), so it
would be nice if this boy could do the same.@
FIRST STAKES WIN FOR SUPIDO Although previously placed at the top level the Mick Kent
trained Supido (Aus) (Sebring {Aus}) gained his first stakes win
when justifying favouritism in the G3 Monash S. at Caulfield on
Saturday. The Gilgai Farm bred entire was settled in rear early
by Luke Nolen in the 1100m contest before being unleashed by
Nolen early in the straight. He showed a smart change of gear to
beat Daytona Grey (Aus) (Artie Schiller) by three quarters of a
length leaving his trainer relieved after filling in a gap on the
horse=s resume. "It's good to get that win out of the way
because it's his first stakes win. He's been Group One and Group
Two placed and I was dying to get him a stakes win,@ Kent told
Racing And Sports. Supido showed he can handle himself against
the best when he finished third to Black Heart Bart (Aus)
(Blackfriars {Aus}) in the G1 Darley Goodwood at Morphettville
last year and his trainer is keen to give him another chance at
winning a Group 1. "I think he's a Group One horse. He's had a
few issues. He gets sore feet and hard ground niggles him a bit
but he's come back really well this time. It's the happiest I've
been with him for a while," he said.
