EASY FOR ENBIHAAR INTHE LILLIE LANGTRY

With Manuela de Vega (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) ruled out of

Saturday=s G2 Qatar Lillie Langtry S. at Goodwood, the way was

paved for last year=s winner Enbihaar (Ire) (Redoute=s Choice

{Aus}) to enjoy a saunter around the Downs and she duly

delivered with the minimum of fuss against two rivals. Last seen

finishing fourth in the 12-furlong G2 Princess of Wales=s S. on

her seasonal bow at Newmarket on July 9, Shadwell=s 1-2

favourite stayed close to the 3-year-old Snow (Ire) (Galileo {Ire})

throughout the early stages and once sent past that rival passing

the two-furlong pole drew away strongly to score by 3 1/2

lengths from Cabaletta (GB) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}).

One of last term=s most improved performers, Enbihaar

proved a formidable runner when granted suitably lively

conditions and a distance of ground and went from success in

the G2 Lancashire Oaks to this win and another in Doncaster=s

G2 Park Hill S. in September. Third when undone by testing

ground in the G1 Prix de Royallieu at ParisLongchamp in

October, the same underfoot conditions meant that she was

below-par on her return at the July meeting but everything fell

perfectly into place for this repeat of 12 months ago. Despite

giving away weight-for-age to a younger duo with smart form,

the imposing bay never looked likely to become the subject of

an upset and is primed for a potentially profitable remainder of

the campaign. Cont. p2

CLASSIC WIN STILL A SUCCESS STORY FOR

SELLERSBy Emma Berry

There are good reasons for smaller trainers, owners and

breeders to do their equine shopping at the drafts of the major

breeding operations at horses-in-training and breeding stock

sales. If buying a filly or young broodmare there is the potential

for updates from well-managed families, members of which

likely remain in their breeders= broodmare bands. For the colts

and geldings there is always the hope that a slower-maturing

individual may well just have been deemed surplus to

requirements and can go on to be a star in another stable over

time. There are umpteen examples of thisCthe ,2,800 purchase

Sceptical (GB) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}) being just one who has

made headlines since being bought from Godolphin and

continuing his career for James McAuley and trainer Denis

Hogan. Cont. p6

Easy For Enbihaar In The Lillie Langtry cont. from p1

That could come over excess of this trip according to the

operation=s Racing Manager Angus Gold. AIt=s unlike Sheikh

Hamdan to keep an older mare in training and I=m glad to see

that rewarded with another group win,@ he commented. AIt=s

good to see her show her old enthusiasm and that amazing

stride of hers. I=ll talk to John and see what the options are, but

Jim said she=ll stay two miles any day. She doesn=t want the

ground too soft, but I would have thought the [G2 Qipco British

Champions] Long Distance Cup [at Ascot on Oct. 17] would be an

option.@

Pedigree Notes Enbihaar is a half-sister to Godolphin=s G2 International

Topkapi Trophy runner-up Silent Attack (GB) (Dream Ahead) and

to the listed-placed King Bolete (Ire) (Cape Cross {Ire}). They are

out of Chanterelle (Fr) (Trempolino), a full-sister to the G3 Prix

du Calvados scorer Cox Orange who in turn produced the Listed

Masaka S. winner and G1 1000 Guineas third Vista Bella (GB)

(Diktat {GB}). Her dam is the G2 Prix Maurice de Gheest winner

Spectacular Joke (Spectacular Bid), whose leading performer

was the G1 Prix Marcel Boussac heroine Amonita (Anabaa).

RAABIHAH BACK IN THE GROOVE Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum=s Raabihah (Sea the

Stars {Ire}), who went untested as a juvenile, was up with the

larks for a Jan. 23 debutantes= heat win at Cagnes-sur-Mer and

doubled up with an impressive tally in ParisLongchamp=s May 14

Listed Prix de la Seine before posting a commendable fourth,

despite a troubled trip, pitched into Chantilly=s rescheduled July

5 G1 Prix de Diane in her latest outing. Sent off as the 2-5 lock

on a retrieval mission in Saturday=s G3 Prix de Psyche Sky Sports

Racing over 10 furlongs at Deauville, the homebred chestnut did

not disappoint her legion of supporters and booked a ticket to

France=s end-of-season gala with a performance which simply

oozed class. She was positioned several lengths off the

pacesetting Arriviste (GB) (Sea The Moon {Ger}) in fourth until

improving one spot as the field bunched on the home turn.

Overpowering toiling rivals once quickening in style for control

approaching the final furlong, Raabihah surged clear in hand to

easily dismiss Listed Prix Finlande victress Wangari (Ger) (Soldier

Hollow {GB}) by an impressive 3 1/2 lengths with Wangari=s

Andre Fabre-trained stablemate Alkandora (GB) (Nathaniel

{Ire}) emerging best of the remainder, finishing 3/4-of-a-length

farther back in third. AI think what we have seen here today is a

Group 1 filly,@ said winning trainer Jean-Claude Rouget, who

sent out Luna Kya (Fr) (Kendor {Fr}) to win this in 2001 and

subsequent MGISW distaffer Zagora (Fr) (Green Tune) in 2010.

Raabihah has her sights set on the Arc | Scoop Dyga

Rouget continued, AWe knew that before, of course, but we

missed the opportunity to win a big one in the Diane where she

had an awful trip and didn=t have enough experience to get

herself out of trouble. We have been in racing long enough to

know that these things happen. The pace was good today and

the further she was going the more she was opening up on the

rest.@

Rouget is now zoning in on targets back at the highest level

with October=s G1 Prix de l=Arc de Triomphe the ultimate goal

this year. AFor me, she is the best French filly around and she=s

not even running over her distance. We know she is a genuine

mile-and-a-half filly, with her second and third dams both being

Oaks winners, and the plan is to now go straight to the [Sept. 13

G1 Prix] Vermeille and then the [Oct. 4 G1 Prix de l=] Arc [de

Triomphe at ParisLongchamp].@

Pedigree Notes Raabihah is one of two winners and the leading performer

produced by Garmoosha (Kingmambo), who was bred to Noble

Mission (GB) this year. The fourth of six foals, she is a half-sister

to Listed Wait A While S. third Filfila (Kitten=s Joy), a yearling filly

by Kitten=s Joy and a 2020 More Than Ready filly. Her dam is an

unraced half to G1 Fillies= Mile third Firdaws (Mr. Greeley) out of

G1 Epsom Oaks heroine Eswarah (GB) (Unfuwain), who in turn is

a daughter of MG1SW G1 1000 Guineas and G1 Epsom Oaks

heroine Midway Lady (Alleged). The latter also produced G1

Irish 1000 Guineas third Umniyatee (GB) (Green Desert) and G3

Princess Royal S. victrix Itnab (GB) (Green Desert), who in turn is

the dam of stakes-winning G3 Al Shindagha Sprint runner-up

Alazeyab (El Prado {Ire}) and Peruvian Group 3 placegetter

Madera de Guerrero (Street Cry {Ire}). Descendants of

Umniyatee include Argentina=s G1 Presidente da Republica

victor Maltes (Brz) (Red Runner).

Stalking the pace set by Wedding Dance (Ire) (Invincible Spirit

{Ire}) after an alert getaway in this first try at seven furlongs, the

7-5 favourite was nudged along to launch her challenge off the

home turn and kept on well under mild coaxing once gaining a

slender advantage at the eighth pole to deny that rival by 3/4-

of-a-length for a first black-type rosette. Coeursamba (Fr) (The

Wow Signal {Ire}) ran on well from off the pace to finish a neck

adrift in third. ASee The Rose is a lovely filly, she is sweet to be

around and easy to train,@ said trainer Andre Fabre, who saddled

stablemate and subsequent G1 Cheveley Park S. third Tropbeau

and will return here in the [G2] Prix du Calvados. So far she is

the carbon copy of [subsequent Calvados winner] Tropbeau.@

Classic Win Still A Success For Sellers cont. from p1 Juddmonte, Shadwell and Godolphin routinely have large

drafts catalogued for formal sales as well as conducting private

transactions for certain individuals and, while a number of

Ballydoyle trainees will be offered at the Tattersalls

Horses-in-Training Sale each autumn, many more will be sold

privately throughout the season. It is not uncommon for there

to be multiple runners from Ballydoyle in some of the top races

in Europe. The best fillies naturally eventually retire to the

Coolmore broodmare band, but only a handful of the very best

colts will secure a berth in

the stallion yard. Those

below that level, however,

can present some decent

opportunities for other

connections, as the recent

G2 Derby Italiano victory of

Tuscan Gaze (Ire) (Galileo

{Ire}) highlighted. The colt,

who was bred by Coolmore

in partnership with Lady

Bamford=s Daylesford Stud,

was previously unbeaten in

two starts for John Gosden

and was bought by

jockey-turned-bloodstock

agent Freddy Tylicki for

Italian-based Mag Horse Racing SRL just weeks before his Classic

success. Jamie Moriarty of Coolmore=s racing office is in regular

contact with agents and trainers on the lookout for such

prospects. He says, ASome may be of the opinion that we

wouldn=t be overjoyed at selling winners like that but in fact

nothing could be further from the truth. Results like this bolster

the relationships we are continually seeking to develop and

maintain, and of course there=s also the pedigree update for the

horse=s dam and relatives at home. So all in all, we couldn=t be

happier for everyone concerned.@

He adds, ATuscan Gaze=s recent success in the Italian Derby has

received some great coverage, and rightly so. I suppose it could

be perceived as something of a fairytale, and for none more so

than Freddy Tylicki, but in reality we would like to think that this

fairytale is played out with increasing regularity.@

There has long been a flow of horses from Ballydoyle to the

Australian stable of leading owners Lloyd and Nick Williams,

whose thirst to win the Melbourne Cup appears to be

unquenchable. Rekindling (GB) (High Chaparral {Ire}) provided

the father and son with their sixth victory in the Cup and was a

memorable first for Joseph O=Brien, whose stable he has

recently rejoined after a stint in Australia under the care of Liam

Howley, who now trains the G2 Herbert Power S. winner

Yucatan (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Last year=s eye-catching third-place

finisher Il Paradiso (Galileo {Ire}), who was just a neck behind

the winner Vow And Declare (Aus) (Declaration Of War), has

remained in Australia and has joined Chris Waller=s stable after

being sold to a syndicate which includes Ozzie Kheir. Among the

other Ballydoyle graduates now in Australia are Galileo=s sons

Southern France (Ire), who won the G2 Zipping Classic for Ciaron

Maher and David Eustace, and G1 Caulfied S. winner Cape Of

Good Hope (Ire), who is now trained by David and Ben Hayes

and Tom Dabernig.

AMany will remember

Rekindling and Johannes

Vermeer going head-to-head

in the Melbourne Cup, two

Coolmore horses that had

been sold to Australians

Lloyd and Nick Williams,@

says Moriarty. AThe

Melbourne Cup provides one

of the best examples through

the likes of Rekindling,

Johannes Vermeer and Il

Paradiso, a horse I suspect

will be very much in the

reckoning again this year.@

He adds, AAs we retire only

two or three new stallions each year to Coolmore, there are

plenty of horses for sale and this presents terrific opportunities

for clients old and new to get involved.

AOur team here takes calls and enquiries every day from the

most far-reaching countries about prospective sales of

racehorses and breeding stock alike. If clients have races they

would like to target, be it on turf or dirt, Northern or Southern

Hemisphere we will have plenty of options for them. Freddy had

a week to find an Italian Derby winner and we were able to

work it out.@

Watch Me aims for a second Group 1 in the Prix Rothschild | Scoop Dyga

Cont. from p6

Hong Kong has also been a happy hunting ground for former

Ballydoyle trainees, with River Dancer (Ire), the Sadler=s Wells

half-brother to Dar Re Mi (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}), having won the

G1 Audemars Piguet QE II Cup for The Hon. Ronald Arculli

following his export from Ireland. Four years later, Archipenko,

now the sire of Group 1-winning brothers Time Warp (GB) and

Glorious Forever (GB) in Hong Kong, won that same race after

he was sold to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Khalifa Al Maktoum and

joined Mike de Kock=s team of globetrotters.

The same owner-trainer team also won the G1 Hong Kong Cup

with Eagle Mountain (GB) (Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}), who was

runner-up to Authorized (Ire) in the Derby when trainer by

Aidan O=Brien. A little closer to home, the one-time Derby fancy

Amedeo Modigliani (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) is now in the stable of

Spain=s champion trainer Guillermo Arizkorreta and has won his

only start in Spain=s premier mile race, the Gran Premio Claudio

Carudel.

AIf you look at any of the bigger races across the globe, you will

note Coolmore graduates amongst the rolls of honour,@ says

Moriarty. AMaster of Hounds, Mikhail Glinka (GB), Stagelight

(Ire) and Viscount Nelson went on to score at the highest levels

in Dubai. Joshua Tree (Ire), Ballingarry (Ire), Frost Giant, Tannery

(Ire), Heatseeker (Ire) and Brahms were all at the top of their

game on the other side of the Atlantic. So whether it=s a

Canadian International, a Singapore, Hollywood, Hong Kong or

Italian Derby winner you=re looking for, we have been lucky

enough to have them

through our hands. Not to

mention of course the

Cheltenham and Group 1

winners over jumps.@

Ah, yes. For an outfit so

focused on winning

Europe=s top

middle-distance races,

there will be plenty among

them with sufficient

stamina to excel in the

National Hunt division,

such as G1 JCB Triumph

Hurdle winner Ivanovich

Gorbatov (Ire) (Montjeu

{Ire}).

AAs the primary focus of

Ballydoyle each year is to retire the next Sadler=s Wells or

Galileo we would rarely have a gelding in training there,

although in plenty of instances there will be improvement to

come from these animals when they are gelded,@ says Moriarty.

AWe don=t strictly sell colts only. The broodmare band takes

continual management and, like the racehorse string, we can=t

keep them all. There are a number of fillies that are offered

privately each year. In cases where we have the dam and maybe

a sister or two at home we would offer some for sale. This is

where some of the best opportunities lie.@

One recent fortunate beneficiary of this is the new owner of

Peach Tree (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), who was already a Group 3

winner in her own right when sold less than 12 months ago.

Since then, her full-sister Love (Ire) has announced herself as

arguably the best 3-year-old filly in training.

Another daughter of Galileo was a similarly good purchase for

Australian breeder Bob Scarborough, whose purchase of

Cabaret (Ire) and her subsequent mating with Invincible Spirit

(Ire) resulted in him breeding the 2000 Guineas winner Magna

Grecia (Ire), who was bought by MV Magnier for 340,000gns.

Moriarty adds, AWe have since gone back to buy a couple of

her progeny, including Magna Grecia and the very promising St

Mark=s Basilica who looked a smart sort on his debut last week.@

ROTHSCHILD CENTRE STAGE ON SUNDAY Deauville stages the first of its August features on Sunday, with

the fillies and mares granted the opportunity to strike at the

highest level in the G1 Prix Rothschild. Alexander Tamagni-

Bodmer and Regula Vannod=s Watch Me (Fr) (Olympic Glory

{Ire}) sets the standard, having won last year=s

G1 Coronation S. and

finished third in the G1 Prix

de l=Opera and she looked

primed for another big

effort when taking the

course-and-distance Listed

Prix de la Calonne on July

12. Trainer Francis-Henri

Graffard is expecting a bold

show. AShe is in great form

and has improved a lot

since her seasonal

comeback three weeks

ago,@ he said. AIt=s a Group

1 and they are always hard

to win, but I could not be

happier with her

condition.@

three classy fillies in Cloak of Spirits (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}),

Rose of Kildare (Ire) (Make Believe {GB}) and Onassis (Ire)

(Dubawi {Ire}) and Charlie Appleby is hoping she can build on

that confidence boost. AWe were very pleased with the

performance of Summer Romance at Epsom and she came out

of the race well,@ he said. AShe made the running there, but

doesn=t have to go from the front--it wasn=t the plan to make it

last time out but nobody else wanted to go on, so we took the

bull by the horns. We feel that this is a good opportunity to

hopefully step up to Group 1 level.@

Another who is looking to make a jump forward is Qatar

Racing Limited=s July 1 G3 Derrinstown Stud Fillies S. scorer

Know It All (GB) (Lord Kanaloa {Jpn}), but the manner of her

success in that Leopardstown mile contest suggests she can

make an impact. Trainer Johnny Murtagh said, AShe=s going

there in great form, hopefully. Sheikh Fahad picked this race out

and I=m glad he did because it=s a fillies= only Group 1 with six

runners. There are obviously some good ones in it.@ One of

those is Rashit Shaykhutdinov=s G1 Poule d=Essai des Pouliches

runner-up Speak of the Devil (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), who

is back over a mile having failed to stay the 10 1/2-furlong trip of

the G1 Prix de Diane at Chantilly on July 5. She is probably still

underestimated and this could be her chance to make amends

for her unlucky defeat in the June 1 Classic here.

In the G3 Darley Prix de Cabourg, which has been won in

recent times by Dabirsim (Fr) (Hat Trick {Jpn}), Ervedya (Fr)

(Siyouni {Fr}) and Earthlight (Ire) (Shamardal), the 2-year-olds

get a chance to prove worthy of a tilt at the upcoming G1 Prix

Morny over the same six-furlong trip. There does not look to be

an Earthlight among the domestic contingent this year and, as

ever, there is a strong British challenge via the July 18 Listed

Rose Bowl S. runner-up Mighty Gurkha (Ire) (Sepoy {Aus}) and

the unbeaten Cairn Gorm (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}).

At Dusseldorf, there is Classic action with the 162nd renewal

of the 11-furlong G1 Henkel-Preis der Diana seeing a formidable

collection of foreign raiders. Francis-Henri Graffard has already

taken one of Germany=s Classics after In Swoop (Ire) (Adlerflug

{Ger}) caused an upset in the G1 Deutsches Derby and is back

again with another import from this country in Tickle Me Green

(Ger) (Sea the Moon {Ger}). Third in the G3 Prix de la Grotte at

ParisLongchamp on May 11 and ninth in the G1 Poule d=Essai

des Pouliches at Deauville on June 1 when under the care of

Andre Fabre, Gestut Gorlsdorf=s homebred made her debut for

Graffard a winning one in the Listed Prix Madame Jean Couturie

over 10 furlongs at Vichy on July 20.

Gary Barber and Team Valor International=s Silence Please

(Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}) beat her stablemate and subsequent

G1 Nassau S. runner-up One Voice (Ire) (Poet=s Voice {GB}) in

the 10-furlong Listed Salsabil S. at Navan on June 10 before

finishing third behind Even So (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) under a

penalty in the July 4 Listed Naas Oaks Trial. That form may be

good enough in this context with no stand-out among the

German brigade. One of the least exposed of them is Gestut

Wittekindshof=s Elle Memory (Ger) (Maxios {GB}), the Peter

Schiergen-trained daughter of the prolific Elle Danzig (Ger) (Roi

Danzig) who captured this in 1998 when it was a Group 2. The

second dam of Saturday=s Listed Chalice S. winner Katara (Fr)

(Deep Impact {Jpn}), her Shamardal filly Elle Shadow was second

in this in 2010. Although it would make a nice story if Elle

Memory is to go one better, she has to progress some way from

her narrow defeat of Sister Lulu (Ger) (Jukebox Jury {Ire}) in the

10 1/2-furlong Listed Preis Dusseldorf on June 21.

THE LIR JET HEADED TO PHOENIX

G2 Norfolk S. winner The Lir Jet (Ire) (Prince Of Lir {Ire}),

beaten a head when second in the July 19 G2 Prix Robert Papin,

is set for next Sunday=s G1 Keeneland Phoenix S. at The Curragh.

The Qatar Racing colourbearer was originally slated for the Aug.

21 Nunthorpe S. against elders, but trainer Michael Bell said that

is likely off the table now.

FIRST-SEASON SIRESWITH RUNNERS

Lir Jet to Phoenix cont.

AThe Lir Jet worked well this morning,@ Bell said. AHe is likely to

go to Ireland now for the Phoenix S. as plans have been made to

get him there. We were thinking of the Nunthorpe, but we

thought while he is in great order we may as well give him

another chance [at six furlongs]. He just got beat in France on

the nod and it was a case of one having its head up and the

other having its head down. We could end up dropping back

down to five with him, but there are no Group 1 2-year-old-only

five-furlong races around and with the penalty he would have to

carry in other races we thought it was sensible to try him at six.@

He added, AYou can never rule anything out, but I would say it

is highly unlikely he would run in the Nunthorpe as well, as he

would have been to France and Ireland and then coming back

for a Nunthorpe would be quite a lot for a 2-year-old. If he was

to win we would rest on laurels for a bit, if he finished a good

second or third we could then look at the Flying Childers.@

FORMER JUMPS JOCKEY MELLOR DIES Stan Mellor, who was the first jumps jockey to ride 1,000

winners, has died aged 83.

Mellor retired from the saddle in 1972 after riding 1,034

winners and went on to a successful training career with jumps

and flat horses, training more than 700 winners.

Brough Scott, who started as an amateur rider when Mellor

was in his prime and has since gone on to a career in sports

writing and broadcasting, paid tribute to his former colleague,

saying, AHe was a pioneer and a mentor, and a worker for other

people. But he was a brilliant, brilliant champion jockey--the

ultimate brain over brawn. He could do things others couldn=t--

people have a particular shot they can play in cricket, or a move

at football. Stan Mellor, wow. He was amazing.

AHis particular thing, over fences--to do with his show-jumping

background--he would wind a horse up and launch it at the last

fence with a rhythm and power that would be a match-winning

leap. They never missed--he had it down to a tee, and when he

wound them up like that, he knew what he had beneath him,

and he timed it for an unbelievable match-winning blow. It was

absolutely extraordinary, a byword--no one else did it like that.@

Scott said Mellor also enjoyed mentoring young riders and

advocating for jockeys= welfare.

AHe did more for jockeys than anyone else has ever done, or

ever will,@ he said. AAt the time when jockeys were only just

getting themselves organised, he was the pioneer for

everything; new helmets, backpads, concrete posts, insurance.

The Jockeys= Association had only just started, but he=d be the

brightest person at the meeting with the head of Levy Board and

such.

AHe was very, very good at training youngsters. He always

wanted to share his knowledge--he was a tremendous person to

go and talk to. I=ll rejoice in his life, although it=s infinitely sad to

think of him not being there any more.@

Winning her third start by five lengths on the Polytrack at

Kempton at the start of last month, Katara continued her

upward trajectory to register an impressive first black-type

success. Tracking the early pace in mid-division, the homebred

was sent to the front passing the two-furlong pole and stayed on

strongly on the uphill climb to stamp her superiority on affairs.

ASir Michael liked her coming into the race and she is

progressing,@ her rider commented. AHer dam stayed a mile and

six, but this filly is not short of gears. We will see what Sir

Michael wants to do, but she could stay at a mile and a half for

the moment. I=m sure Sir Michael will go step by step with her.

She could end up getting to a high level.@

Katara is the first foal out of the G2 Park Hill S.-placed Asyad

(Ire) (New Approach {Ire}), who is one of eight black-type

performers produced by the excellent racemare Elle Danzig

(Ger) (Roi Danzig). Her 12 victories from two to five included 11

Showing what a resolute stayer he is when recording an

emphatic success in the Listed Rose Bowl S. on the Rowley Mile

over two miles here in September, the 2017 Cesarewitch H.

winner Withhold was a respectable fourth when punching above

his weight in Ascot=s G1 Gold Cup June 18 and the G3 Henry II S.

at Sandown July 5. Sent on by Oisin Murphy from the outset

here, the strapping bay saw off his three rivals one by one in

another stamina-packed display. Assistant trainer Harry Charlton

said, AWe could go and have a look at the [G2] Lonsdale Cup at

York, but the race at Doncaster which is over two and a quarter

miles might be more suitable. We will have a discussion with the

owner as he may want to go to Australia again afterwards.@

The dam, who is kin to the stakes-winning To Sender (GB)

(King=s Best) and the G2 Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial runner-up

Address Unknown (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), is a granddaughter

of the G3 Fred Darling S. winner and outstanding producer

Slightly Dangerous (Roberto). Her five stars were the G1 Epsom

and Irish Derby hero and leading Japanese sire Commander In

Chief (GB), the G1 Sussex S. and G1 Queen Elizabeth II S.-

winning prolific sire Warning (GB) and the GI Flower Bowl

Invitational H. heroine Yashmak (Danzig), who is in turn the dam

of the G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere winner Full Mast (Mizzen

Mast). Next up from the dam is an as-yet unnamed 2-year-old

colt by Dragon Pulse (Ire) and a yearling filly also by that sire.

time, was swiftly into stride and raced in a prominent third

through halfway. Quickening to the front passing the quarter-

mile marker, the 4-6 pick was ridden clear approaching the final

furlong and kept on well to comfortably hold the promising late

surge of Senita (GB) (Frankel {GB}) by 1 1/2 lengths. AShe ran

very well first time out and came on for that today,@ said

winning rider William Buick. AShe=s really straightfoward, she got

Get Shirty, unraced as a juvenile, won one of eight sophomore

starts last year and notched a May 18 Chantilly handicap score

going 15 furlongs on seasonal return before running third back

over that course and distance in the June 14 G2 Prix Vicomtesse

Vigier on black-type bow last time. Stalking the leading duo in

third for most of this marathon, he was angled to the far-side

rail for his challenge with 350 metres remaining and was not for

catching once seizing control soon after to claim a career high.

AHe took a lot of time to mature and only now is able to give

his best,@ commented winning trainer Christophe Ferland. AI

think he won quite well today, even though he lost a shoe

during the race, and the plan is to come back here for the [G2]

Air de Valse, who returned off lockdown to hit the board over

seven furlongs in ParisLongchamp=s May 11 Listed Prix Maurice

Zilber, bagged a May 27 sprint handicap at Vichy before slipping

off the radar in Chantilly=s June 27 Listed Prix Hampton last time.

Employing waiting tactics in midfield through halfway, she made

ominous headway out wide to seize control approaching the

eighth pole and was ridden out to hold the late thrust of British

raider Rocket Action for a belated first black-type triumph.

Chantilly last time and recovered from an awkward getaway to

track the leaders under cover in fifth after the initial strides

here. Inching into fourth at halfway, the 29-10 second choice

was pushed along inside the quarter-mile marker and kept on

strongly under a final-furlong drive to deny Rapido Presto (Fr)

(Pedro the Great) by short head in a bobbing finish. Half-brother

MSP-Ger}, by Acclamation {GB}), an impressive 2 1/4-length

winner in his July 5 debut over seven furlongs at Mulheim last

and pasting his rapid debut manoeuvre up to the front rank on

the home turn, the 6-4 chalk eased to the front on the bridle

passing the two pole and was shaken up in the closing stages to

easily outclass Augustinus (Ger) (Territories {Ire}) for another

taking 2 1/4-length verdict. Half-brother to a yearling filly by Tai

Chi (Ger), he is the sixth of seven foals and one of two winners

SILVANO STARS AGAIN AT NATIONAL SALE Saturday=s second and final session of the Bloodstock South

Africa National Yearling sale saw seven additional seven-figure

(Rand) lots added to the top of the price list. Maine Chance

Farms=s champion sire Silvano (Ger) had been the star of day

one, responsible for the top four lots including the sale-leading

R7-million colt (,313,406/i348,135), and he once again

provided the top two on Saturday. The leading light was Maine

Chance=s colt (lot 329) bought by Anthony Beck for R2.3-million

(,102,976/i114,387). He is the second foal out of the G1 SA

Oaks winner Pine Princess (SAf) (Captain Al {SAf}), who has an

as-yet unraced 2-year-old full-brother.

Wilgerbosdrift sold the sale=s two highest-priced colts on

Friday and they provided another highlight on Saturday in the

form of lot 251, a Silvano half-brother to Group 3 winner Folk

Dance (SAf) (Tiger Ridge) and the Classic-placed Capoeira (SAf)

(Oratorio {Ire}). He was bought by Form Bloodstock for R1.6-

million (,71,635/i79,573).

Young sire Gimmethegreenlight (Aus) was the one to break up

Silvano=s momentum on the leaderboard, with a colt (lot 366)

sold for R1.4-million (,62,681/i69,627) to Form=s Jehan

Malherbe. Malherbe paid the same price for lot 453, a rare

offering in this country by Uncle Mo. The colt is the second foal

out of Ubiquitous Mantle (Ire) (Alhaarth {Ire}), a three-time

winner in Ireland the U.S. and a granddaughter of the G1

Yorkshire Oaks winner Roseate Tern (GB) (Blakeney {GB}).

Unsurprisingly in the COVID era, figures were slightly off from

last year=s returns. From 478 yearlings catalogued over the two-

day sale, 341 were offered and 294 sold for an aggregate of

R86,915,000 (,3,891,393/i4,322,601). Last year, 438 had been

sold over three days for R139,380,000

(,6,240,377/i6,931,877). The average dipped 7.2% to

R295,629 (,13,236/i14,702), while the median was down 8.6%

at R160,000 (,7,163/i7,957).

WHITNEY VICTORIES

>TDN Rising Star= Improbable (City Zip) scored back-to-back

Grade I victories and provided his conditioner Bob Baffert with

his second straight renewal of Saratoga=s prestigious GI Whitney

S. Saturday with a dominant score in this >Win and You=re In=

event for the GI Breeders= Cup Classic. Baffert won last year=s

renewal with McKinzie (Street Sense), who was entered in

Saturday=s GI Bing Crosby S., but was scratched.

Heavily Favored Tom=s d=Etat (Smart Strike) missed the break

and was relegated to last early as native New Yorker Mr. Buff

(Friend or Foe) took command, loping through early splits of

:25.12 and :49.74 with 3-1 shot Improbable keeping close tabs

from second. Improbable seized command from Mr Buff as

three-quarters went in 1:13.36 with MGSW By My Standards

(Goldencents) charging up behind him. Improbable powered

clear at the top of the lane and it was all over from there as the

flashy chestnut rolled home to a two-length victory. By My

Standards held on for second over Tom=s d=Etat. Last term=s

GI Runhappy Travers S. hero Code of Honor (Noble Mission

{GB}) could only manage fourth over a tiring Mr. Buff.

"He got up really quick and he put me in the race,@ said

winning pilot Irad Ortiz. AI just took a little hold because Mr Buff

looked like the speed of the race. I put him in second in the

clear, like we wanted and went from there.@ Cont. p3

JERKENS L & N Racing=s Echo Town (Speightstown) registered his first

raced in mid-pack early as recent GI Woody Stephens S.

Presented by Claiborne hero No Parole (Violence) doled out a

first quarter in :22.67 with MGSW Mischevious Alex (Into

Mischief) pressing from second. Mischevious Alex turned up the

heat on No Parole as the half went in :45.31 and Tap It to Win

(Tapit) ranged up menacingly on their outside turning for home.

Echo Town swung out four wide at the top of the lane and

swiftly inhaled the top three in mid-stretch, charging clear to a

dominant 3 1/2-length victory. Tap It to Win held second and

>TDN Rising Star= Shoplifted (Into Mischief) completed the

Improbable | Sarah Andrew

The Whitney winner=s circle | Sarah Andrew

Whitney cont. from p1

Ortiz continued, AHe was comfortable. By the backside, we felt

pressure but by his own he started picking it up. I let him do his

thing because they were going really slow so I let him go early.

When I asked him turning for home, he responded really well.

ABig race. Big race,@ said co-owner WinStar Farm=s Elliott

Walden. AObviously, we had to get over the gate [issues] a little

bit and Irad and the gate crew did a wonderful job. He broke

great, Irad had him in a super position and felt great all the way

around there. Bob had him ready to go, as usual, when he

comes East. When he got in the position that we had hoped for,

which was kind of tracking Mr. Buff, we felt really good. Then

they throw up kind of easy fractions. But, he's just a different

horse this year. That's his second Grade I in a row. He got beat

by Tom's d'Etat in his first start at Oaklawn, but he's set up for a

big year and we're just excited to continue that.@

As for the beaten favorite, Tom d=Etat, jockey Joel Rosario said,

"He stumbled coming out. There was a lot going on. He was

standing fine, he just missed the break. It changed my plan

because I had to really get riding from there. I couldn't take my

time. I thought the pace was fine. Even after that, I was not too

far from the lead. It looked like I was in a good spot. But

stumbling coming out of the gate, I lost ground right away."

A perfect three-for-three as a juvenile, including his first top-

level success in the GI Los Alamitos Futurity, Improbable faced

his first defeat when second in last term=s GII Rebel S. and filled

the same spot behind Omaha Beach (War Front) in the

GI Arkansas Derby last term. Fifth, but promoted to fourth as

the tepid favorite in the GI Kentucky Derby, the $200,000

KEESEP buy finished sixth in last year=s GI Preakness S., after

which he was given a brief freshening. Making a successful

comeback in the Shared Belief S. at Del Mar, he was fourth in

the GI Pennsylvania Derby in September and could only manage

fifth in the GI Breeders= Cup Dirt Mile Nov. 2. Coming up just 3/4

of a length short of Tom=s d=Etat in the Oaklawn Mile Apr. 11,

Improbable flashed signs of his impressive juvenile form when

running off to a 3 1/4-length success in the GI Hollywood Gold

Cup S. going 10 panels in Arcadia June 6. Cont. p4

Pedigree Notes:

Improbable is one of 10 Grade I winners, 30 graded winners

and 87 stakes winners for his late sire City Zip. He is also one of

26 top-level scorers, 103 graded victors and 221 stakes winners

produced by a daughter of A.P. Indy. Improbable is the first foal

to race out of Rare Event, whose 3-year-old filly Redemption

Day (Quality Road), a $180,000 KEESEP purchase by WinStar,

broke her maiden July 9 and finished second last time July 30.

The 11-year-old mare is also the dam of juvenile colt Snake

Doctor (Oxbow) and a yearling colt by Cross Traffic. Rare Event

aborted her 2020 foal by Justify. Improbable hails from the

family of Grade I-winning sire Hard Spun (Danzig).

Whitney Day record of $31,835,863 set in 2019.

2019 Whitney Day, which was held Aug. 3, saw paid

attendance of 40,791 with fans on the grounds of Saratoga

wagering $4,658,622.

Jerkens cont. from p1

AHe ran an excellent race,@ winning trainer Steve Asmussen

said. AIt's extremely significant winning the Allen Jerkens.

Ricardo [Santana] did a great job with him today. I think the

timing for him was better going into today than the Woody

Stephens, and he showed it today. I thought 22 and 3 was soft

for this group. I thought Echo Town ran the race of his life and

Shoplifted, who was second in the [GI] Hopeful last year here

obviously likes this track.@ Cont. p6

Steve Asmussen & Ricardo Santana | Sarah Andrew

Echo Town | Sarah Andrew

The Hall of Famer continued, AIt was great to see him put it all

together when it matters so much on this stage. He ran solidly

here. He ran really well into the Woody Stephens, but I thought

the timing of this race was better.@

AHe broke really sharp today and when the dirt started hitting

him in the face, he was jumping a little bit but he was really

comfortable,@ Santana said. AI took him outside and he gave me

a nice kick at the end. He was traveling really well. I knew there

was plenty of speed today and I just wanted to sit behind the

speed. I'm really happy with the horse.@

A debut winner at the Fair Grounds Jan. 18, Echo Town was

third next out at Oaklawn Feb. 23 and returned to winning ways

in the slop there Mar. 13. Missing by a head in the Bachelor S. in

Hot Springs Apr. 25, he captured a Churchill Downs sprint

May 25 prior to his effort in the Woody June 20 at Belmont.

Pedigree Notes:

Echo Town is the 18th Grade I victory for his sire Speightstown,

as well as the 56th graded winner and 113th black-type scorer

for the WinStar stallion. Out of GSW Letgomyecho, the winner is

a half to Grade III victor J Boys Echo and GSP Unbridled Outlaw

(Unbridled=s Song). The 18-year-old mare is also responsible for

the 2-year-old colt Burrow (Candy Ride {Arg}), a $200,000

OBSAPR buy; a yearling filly by Gun Runner; and an American

Pharoah filly born May 8 of this year.
