The supremely fast Harry Angel, who is now settling a little better early on in his races, took himself to the top of the sprint ratings with success in the Darley July Cup

Caravaggio was sent off odds on for the July Cup, but, as Paul Haigh witnessed, he was no match for Harry Angel

first word

Angel’s delight

...if you make a three-year-old, who’s only raced twice since last August, odds-on for a race as invariably competitive as the July Cup, you need to be pretty sure he belongs in a category occupied by the international modern greats

W

e’ve been spoilt in recent years by exceptional horses, so much so that perhaps we’ve grown to expect one to come around every year. This year many of us had Caravaggio pencilled in as the annual

phenomenon.

But if you make a three-year-old, who’s only raced twice since last August, odds-on for a race as invariably competitive as the July Cup, you need to be pretty sure he belongs in a category occupied by the international modern greats.

(No need to name them all again. We know who they are).

With the magisterial benefit of hindsight it might have occurred to some that winning a seven-runner Group 3 at Naas on good to yielding, however impressively he might have done it, didn’t necessarily make him the new Frankel.

We might even have noticed that in his next race, the much tougher Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot, he seemed to take while before hitting his best stride.

And although he won, he did not perhaps do it with the startling burst of dominance-establishing acceleration we’d come to expect of him from his twoyear-old career.

Could it be in retrospect that he was not so dominant, when he cut down Harry Angel and Blue Point, as we’d thought on first viewing of the race at Ascot?

In the July Cup he faced older horses for the first time. He raced on the July course at Newmarket for the first time, a course whose undulations have been the downfall of others before him.

And he was up against the tough guys with hard experience, including Limato who’d blown away a much bigger field in Britain’s premier sprint a year before.

Limato, as everyone now knows, only produces his outstanding best when the ground is firm. Concrete might be his ideal surface.

And Limato ran to his best in trying to retain his crown.

Maybe Caravaggio did too, but whatever happened, he didn’t provide what was expected of him.

In fact, he never looked as though he might. Limato did produce his best, which makes the horse that beat him even more admirable, and the hard as nails (“I coulda been a contender”) five-year-old Brando did too.

Between them and the winner they kept Caravaggio out of the three.

Only the wisest of sceptics, who might have seen that his unbeaten record might go, would have been able to predict that.

What went wrong? Well, maybe nothing did. Maybe Caravaggio was better than Harry Angel at Ascot; maybe he wasn’t at Newmarket.

Maybe Caravaggio needs more time between races; maybe the lightening quick ground at Ascot was just too fast for him, despite his US pedigree.

Maybe the habit he’s developing of rearing as the

stalls open is causing him to miss that vital beat.

Maybe his opponent Harry Angel is starting to allow himself to be anchored just that little more by his jockey Adam Kirby, so giving him that little extra for the run to the line.

(Harry’s jockey Adam Kirby reckoned post-race at Newmarket that his horse should have finished in front at Ascot).

What the result of the Darley July Cup told us is that Caravaggio probably isn’t the super hero we’d imagined him to be when he was a sensational two-year-old, or what he’d encouraged us to think in his first two runs of 2017. What it reconfirmed is that horses can be beaten, and they have days when they are not their best – for whatever reason.

Apparently, Caravaggio is now slated to head to the Prix Maurice de Gheest over another half furlong, and depending how he runs there, the connections at Coolmore are still thinking of sending the son of Scat Daddy for the colossally lucrative The Everest at Randwick.

Australia’s best sprinters tend to be better than Europe’s and Australia is an awful long way to go to find there might be even tougher opponents than Harry Angel, and waiting with stilettos when he gets there.

What the race told us is that Harry Angel is the exceptional three-year-old who’s improved – “become a man” according to his connections – and that he, not

By staging several major meetings, all with popular feature races, on the same afternoon the planners abdicated their duty to get the most attention and therefore the most value out of any of them

Caravaggio, is the likely sprint champion of 2017.

This isn’t very unusual. Racing history’s full of dazzling two-year-olds whose supremacy at that age doesn’t continue as they get older, not because they’ve deteriorated or for whatever reason failed to do their best, but just because they owed that supremacy at least in part to precocity.

Harry Angel is probably the best sprinter in Europe now, maybe even better than that, but in one way July Cup day was a ridiculous one.

The reason was the folly of race planners in producing a congestion of fixtures that was almost guaranteed to detract from the pleasure of even the most ardent racing fan.

By staging several major meetings, all with popular feature races, on the same afternoon the planners abdicated their duty to get the most attention and therefore the most value out of any of them, even the all-aged championship race at Newmarket.

The fact they picked the afternoon of the Ladies’ Singles final at Wimbledon and the second Test of the series with South Africa would no doubt have made sure no casual TV sports enthusiast would have spent much time even glancing at racing, let alone being seduced by its charms.

Safely buried away on ITV 3 were a selection of races from Ascot and York as well as Newmarket that would have glamorised most Saturdays, but which, clustered all together on one Saturday, would have been lost to all but the most diligent switch flicker.

Of course, there’s no such thing any more as a Saturday with nothing much else on, but to waste feature events by putting them all on within about an hour of each other amounts to something more than dereliction of duty, something more like criminal negligence.

By the time the most brilliant performance of the afternoon, at The Curragh in the Irish Oaks (also sponsored by Darley), came along more than a few of even the most passionate racing aficionados might have thrown up their hands and sloped off to watch one of the alternative sports, perhaps even the ludicrous “entertainment” of the mass push-bike race round France.

If they did so they would have missed, hidden away at 5.55pm, the best performance of the day, and maybe of the year so far, by a filly who could well be the Arc winner.

Enable, a daughter of the King George winner Nathaniel, played with the Irish Oaks field like Garbine Muguruza did with Venus Williams in the 6-0 second set.

She may not have had a lot to beat as this seems an undistinguished year not just for fillies but for three-year-olds generally, unless you remember to include Brametot, but she couldn’t have been any more impressive doing it.

The great thing about her is that each of her victories is more impressive than the last. Caravaggio may not quite be the superstar we dreamed of.

But if she maintains her progress, she could be.

Ballymacoll Stud is sold... .. and the horses are beginning to be auctioned off .

Ballymacoll Stud, one of Ireland’s best known stud farms, was sold at auction at the end of June for €8.15 million.

The 300-acre stud in Dunboyne, County Meath, owned by the Weinstock family since 1960, was sold under the hammer in a packed auction room in the Shelbourne Hotel, Dublin.

The buyer’s identity remained a mystery after the prestigious property was bought in trust for a client by Peter Walsh, managing partner of Orpen Franks solicitors in Dublin.

Since the sale, speculation has risen and the Irish Times and the Irish Field reported that it is believed the purchaser to be neighbouring landowner Frank Dunne of the

In the UK, there are further prestigious stud properties for sale this summer: Fair Winter Farm, near Aylesbury, Old Mill Stud, near Newmarket, and Biddestone Stud, near Chippenham in Wiltshire.

Fair Winter Farm has been owned by the Barnett Family since 1981, bought to develop a broodmare band after the success of the wonderful Time Charter. She won the Oaks in 1982, the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes in 1983 and the Coronation Cup in 1984.

The farm has since produced many Group winners, including Classic winner Pure Grain. Operated on a commercial basis, the farm’s average sale price for yearlings in 2015 was 360,000gns. The Barnett family, based outside of the UK, is to continue its with bloodstock interests.

Old Mill Stud is being offered for sale by and David and Carol Shekells.

Run as a private and boarding stud by the Shekells since 1981, horses from the farm include Mister Cosmi, Auditorium and Cruzspiel.

Tim and Gill Bostwick have spent the last five years managing the 85-acre Biddestone Stud. The farm was previously owned by John Moore, breeder of Mtoto. On his death in 2008, the farm was sold to Tareq Al-Mazeedi, with the Bostwicks becoming involved in 2012.

One of the farm’s most recent stakes race breeding successes is this year’s Temple Stakes (G2) winner Priceless.

The Bostwicks are planning to reduce their bloodstock interests, while improving its quality, and are basing at their farm near Cirencester.

Dunnes Stores retail empire.

Dunne owns a third of Ireland’s biggest retail chain’s shares, lives at Hamwood Stud, which adjoins Ballymacoll and at which he has broodmares.

There were two underbidders for the property which went on the market at €7 million, one of whom was believed to be developer Luke Comer.

Comer’s existing stud farm is based several miles away at Summerhill.

Ballymacoll was founded by Henry Hamilton at the end of the 18th century and was bought by Dorothy Paget in April 1946.

Although she never visited the stud, her famous champion and three-time gold Cup winner Arkle was born on the farm in 1957.

In June 1960, Michael Sobell and Arnold Weinstock bought the stud, with 130 horses, on the recommendation of Sir Gordon Richards for £250,000.

The farm’s current band of 18 broodmares is descended from that original 196o purchase.

A total of 31 Group 1 winners of 55 Group 1 races have been bred at Ballymacoll.

The farm’s stock is to be dispersed through the rest of the year at Tattersalls at varying auctions.

Exciting week of racing and events staged in Inner Mongolia At the beginning of July, the the four-day International Horseracing Culture and Tourism Cycle took place at Tushi Yetu Racecourse, in Inner Mongolia.

The opening ceremony was

conducted in three languages – Mongolian, Mandarin and English – and shown on China Central Television (CCTV), China’s largest national TV station.

Representatives from 15 countries and regions, and more than 30 domestic celebrities were involved in proceedings, the day attracting an audience of 30,000.

Many Chinese celebrities were on hand to help the day go well, including Chinese crosstalk

(stand-up comic) performance artist Yu Qian – his colt Daqianshijie won on the China Horse Racing Grand Prix race day later in the week.

Also at the event was Chinese musician Luan Shu. He is a keen equestrian, owner of a stud near Bejing and was a winner of the equestrian team competition at the eighth National Games.

He also rode in a longdistance endurance race staged through the week.

Seven international jockeys travelled from New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and Japan to participate in the International Jockey Invitation Tournament.

They were involved in five races and rides were selected by drawing lots.

Until they got established most of them would have got a lift to the races with me... and then had to undergo the analysis of their rides on the way back home. Maybe it was a lift they did not want!

There is possibly a good case for establishing a common code of practice for dealing with raceday expenses once the apprentices get to the races under their own steam.

More importantly we should be looking at positive ways to re-ignite young people’s interest in racing.

An interesting blog by Vicky Leonard was recently picked up by The Land, Australia’s leading rural journal which is widely read on the internet.

Vicky is marketing manager at Arrowfield Stud, home of Redoute’s Choice and his current champion son, Snitzel.

Her home was in Timaru, also birthplace of Phar Lap, South Island of New Zealand. She is finishing an M.B.A. in New South Wales where recently the Premier had banned greyhound racing.

He has since reverted the decision in order to give the industry a chance to mend its ways.

Many of her under-35 class-mates had very negative feelings about

Horseracing is going to die unless we bring some fun to the sport so that we can introduce a new generation to racing, and show them some of the fundamentals of the “game”

“

R

acing professionals have been subject to criticism recently by trade newspaper, the Racing Post. The articles about jockeys’ use of the whip and the so-called “exploitation” of Flat apprentices have polarised views and put many on the defensive.

The British Horseracing Authority was formed on July 31, 2007 after the merger of the British Horseracing Board and the Horseracing Regulatory Authority.

Its stated objectives are to “provide the most compelling and attractive racing in the world; be seen as the world leader in raceday regulation; ensure the highest standards for the sport and participants, on and away from the racecourse; promote the best for the racehorse, and represent and promote the sport and the industry”.

Much has been done to regulate the use of the whip and to improve the lot of retired racehorses.

I always tried to give apprentices a chance when I was training and I always had a couple of horses of my own in training on which to start them off.

We produced some successful riders in Stewart Young, Dean McKeown, David Harrison, Dale Gibson, Amy Cook and, finally,

horseracing and related welfare issues.

Leonard’s further research led her to iSentia, a media monitoring company, which analysed young Australian attitudes to horseracing during the 2016 Melbourne Cup. Despite being the biggest Facebook users, 18-34 year olds were the least engaged on horseracing topics.

Roy Morgan Research found similar results and the Melbourne Cup audience has declined by 39 per cent in a decade. In the same period, audience age has flipped from a majority of under-50 to a majority over 50.

As in Britain, the Australian horseracing industry has become better regulated.

Both Racing N.S.W. and Racing Victoria have led the way in positive animal welfare initiatives.

Winx, heir to national treasure tradition of Phar Lap and Black Caviar, will race another year but still negative messages dominate social media posts, as in our Racing Post.

Leonard argues for a proactive message to be sent out with human interest stories about racehorses and the people who dedicate their lives to them.

Farming groups in Australia are trying to educate city dwellers

the news New Zealand won the fourth.

The only successful Chinese jockey was Wen Liangsheng, who won the fifth.

Cassie Schmidt told Daluma. com: “I’m so happy to win, and I think this horse is really lovely.

I am privileged to be invited to come here.”

“I am delighted to have won a race,” said Lammas.

“It’s hard to win because the other jockeys are so good. It is a great pleasure to attend an international event such as this, this racecourse is a very big and good quality.”

about good farming practices so empowering farmers to argue the industry’s case with facts backed by educational material and resources.

Leonard suggests racing should teach the public about the attention and care racehorses get, while also explaining the regulation and integrity processes that protect them.

Further, the biomechanics of the thoroughbred should be explained. alongside highlighting the quality of their training as elite athletes.

More of Vicky’s ideas can be read on www.dita-blog.com.

An interesting and complementary move has been launched by Jeffrey Fink in the Striders sports bar in San Diego.

It had a revamp to coincide with the opening of the Southern California Del Mar meeting in July.

Fink is a racehorse-owning lawyer with a keen business acumen. He is a great supporter of the Del Mar ethos: “Horse racing is fun for everybody”, and I think that Del Mar does a great job emphasising that with its “4 O’ Clock Fridays Summer Concert Series”.

Horseracing is going to die unless we bring some fun in to the sport so that we can introduce a new generation to racing, and show them some of the fundamentals of the “game”.

Fink, rightly, believes that betting on horses is the least irresponsible form of gambling and so is introducing “Betting 101” classes at Striders.

Chinese jockey Wen Liangsheng added: “It is really good to have the opportunity to communicate with foreign jockeys and we can learn a lot.”

Chinese jockey Ma Liankai was also appreciatative of the chance to ride against overseas riders: “Racing against foreign jockeys provides us a very good platform to communicate with them; I hope there would be more opportunities like this.”

Later in the week the 2017 China Horse Racing Grand Prix was staged at Tushi Yetu Racecourse, Inner Mongolia.

Classes can take 60 guests who learn about wager types, how to read the form book, understand pedigrees and speed figures, get a grip of the “proper lingo” and a feel about wagering strategies.

Racing and betting should be fun and, hopefully, profitable.

On the home front, we have had a pretty dry spring and early summer with water levels in Wells Head springs, fed by the aquifer from the Downs, at a record low.

The honey bees have appreciated the nearby planting of field beans and have not had to work too hard for their living.

Unlike in some areas we seem to have had no shortage of bumble bees, who love the sainfoin and are much earlier risers and later to bed than their honey cousins.

Recently, we have had between ten and 15 various bumble bees in continuous chain gang on a small patch of lavender and alliums near the house from early in the morning till dusk.

I have taken inspiration from Richard Hughes who once nominated Ulysees by James Joyce as his favourite book.

I am listening to it on Audible while driving, gardening or farming and am looking forward to an indepth discussion with Richard when I have finished.

The card was made up of six races for thoroughbreds and two for Mongolian horses only.

The event, sponsored by Chinese Equestrian Association, has been running for ten years and is an annual city attraction.

It attracted 140 equestrian enthusiasts and 80 horses.

A total of 11 horses took part in the opening race, a sprint over 1200m.

Three of the runners were ridden by the jockeys who also participated in the International Jockey Invitation Tournament.

Winning jockey Luke Rolls, from New Zealand, told daluma.com: “Most of the jockeys today are Chinese and it is a brand new experience for me.

“I needed to be on my mettle to win. My girlfriend Cassie [Schmidt] won the first race at the beginning of the week and now it’s me. It’s exciting!”

Yu Qian’s Daqianshijie won the fourth race – the woner’s celebrity status causing the horse to become the focus of many of the race fans before the race.

Yu Qian said: “I am very happy and privileged that my horse won; it’s just like your own child to have an exam, and all you can do is cheer him on and will him to win!

“I was not there when Daqianshijie won last time so I am pretty excited to be here today.”

Race five was restricted to Mongolian horses ridden by local herdsmen, while jockey Chen Yi won the sixth race, giving him a double on the card.

“This is my second win today and I am so pleased. This morning we had sprint races, and this afternoon a distance race, so I needed to employ different strategies.

“It was important to relax the horses in this longer race, so I took much time to settle my mount, and it all worked out very well.”

the news

S

....Girls aloud

ummer is upon us – complete with heat-waves one week, thunderstorms and rainfloods the next… and a super busy July week’s worth of sales and races to kick everybody into gear.

Slightly later in the month than most other years, the Newmarket July meet clashed with the Grand Prix de Paris in Saint Cloud, a big weekend of racing at The Curragh, culminating in the Irish Oaks, a race won by a very exciting filly.

Plenty of food for thought and discussions for the racing buff – but more later…

First things first: before the racing, there were the sales – Arqana’s Summer Sale in Deauville followed by a monster Tattersalls July Sale.

The resounding theme of both sales – at least from a personal point of view – was that it was near impossible to buy a filly or mare with a half-decent page for less than big bucks.

In the past the various July sales have often been a good hunting ground for my clients; it used to be a buyers’ rather than sellers’ market, especially for stock with more breeding than racing appeal.

Catalogues would habitually only wield a couple of handfuls of acceptable pedigrees – a pretty short “long” list even for those who aren’t opposed to trailing through hundreds and hundreds of pages and who like to get their teeth into next year’s breeding stock while the rest of the bloodstock world is still “asleep” or shaking off the effects of this year’s breeding season.

Consequently, though, those that slipped most peoples’ attention could be snapped up for good value.

In the last couple of years however the July Sale has had a significant boost – largely thanks to an extended and appealing draft of Darley/Godolphin fillies and mares.

Now the sale is much more of a must-attend-event with a view of buying rather than one at which to whiling away the time till the lunch-bell sounds.

The decision to sell in July is paying off for vendor and the sales company – and, if you could get near the stock on offer, produced some chuffed buyers, too.

Happy faces all round!

Hot on the heels of high-selling Darley dames and damsels, the rest of the week was tinted in blue, too: from the marvellous stallion shows (lunch bells!) to the Darley-sponsored July Cup and then the Irish Oaks; the racing world was treated to displays of equine magnificence on and off course.

From Hawkbill grinding it out against the more fancied Frontiersman – the son of Dubawi and the formidable Ouija Board – in the Princess of Wales Stakes on the first day of the meeting, to Roly Poly fulfilling all the promise she had shown us earlier in the season, and then Harry

Above, Marie Sullivan, Godolphin’s bloodstock sales manager, at Tattersalls July Sale.

It was a “monster” sale, boosted in part by Godolphin’s draft, which raised an aggregate 4,015,000gns (more if the Godolphin horses sold through trainer drafts are included ) and produced seven of the sale’s top ten prices.

Over the three-day sale, eight horses topped 200,000gns and 34 bettered the 100,000gns mark.

Three of the top five best-ever July Sale prices were acheived this year, with the top price being 330,000gns.

Many lots were sold to go abroad, with domestic buyers largely outpointed and unable to value horses to match overseas buyers.

Turnover was a record-breaking 14 million guineas - it is amazing to think that, as recently as 2012, the sale’s aggregate was less than 5 million guineas.

Angel getting his head in front in the July Cup. Some of racing’s caravan moved on before the main event though – after all there was Group 1 action in France and on the Emerald Isle, too… Nathaniel’s daughter Enable bagged an Oaks double, while Shakeel (Dalakhani) provided his owner-breeder the Aga Khan with a second Group 1 win in less than two weeks, after the regally bred Zarak opened his Group 1 account at the beginning of the month.

It’s not exactely a story of rags and riches, but while Zarak is most definitely born in the purple, Shakeel is by a horse who no longer feeds the market’s obsession with sire power and “flavour of the month stallion’” phenomenon.

But he’s not alone: interestingly this year there seems to be an unusual number of both Classic and feature winners by stallions whose initial desirability, or whose zenith of marketability has passed, before their respective offspring went on to win big races in 2017.

And while that might prove frustrating for some of the big stallion makers, it leaves hope for all of us who might not be able to engage in the top end of the yearling or even stallion season market: a good horse can come from anywhere – you just need to find it!

And that’s exactely what I am off to do once I finished this article: treasure hunting in Normandy during my yearling visits at the studs prior to the yearling sales.

Over and out.

Sue Montgomery runs through a busy July which saw the best sprinting and middle-distance performances in Europe so far this year, while a number of juveniles mark themselves as potential Classic types for 2018

or the second festival in a row, the stars aligned propitiously for Sheikh Mohammed and his Godolphin operation. At Royal Ascot, on the 40th anniversary of the Sheikh’s first winner in Britain, Ribchester and Barney Roy provided a Group 1 double.

And at Newmarket’s summer showcase, on his 68th birthday, Harry Angel delivered the perfect gift by winning the July Cup. So perhaps it should be noted, ahead of the events at York, that the Knavesmire was the scene of the Sheikh’s first Group 1 victory when Awaasif landed the Yorkshire Oaks 35 years ago.

The delight in Harry Angel’s success on the July Course was the sweeter for revenge taken on the Coolmore team’s sprint star Caravaggio.

You don’t get many unbeaten July Cup winners – the last was the wonderful filly Tiffin in 1929 – but Caravaggio was odds-on

to emulate her by making it seven from seven in the 137th running of the 6f contest.

In the Commonwealth Cup at Ascot the son of Scat Daddy had looked undeniably impressive as he powered late off a fast pace on rattling ground over the stiff 6f to run down Harry Angel by three-quarters of a length.

But at Newmarket he was nearly 2l adrift of his rival and three-year-old contemporary in fourth, with the five-year-olds Limato and Brando intervening.

Harry Angel – previously tricky in the stalls, headstrong once out of them – has been quite a challenging work in progress for his trainer Clive Cox and rider Adam Kirby.

At Ascot he’d engaged in a speed duel up front with Caravaggio’s hare Intelligence Cross, and perhaps paid for that in the last half furlong.

But, according to Cox, he went into that race a boy and came out a man, and at Newmarket showed his growing maturity.

Intelligence Cross was on duty up front again

uk racing at Newmarket, but this time Harry Angel allowed Kirby, riding a tactical masterclass, to settle him, close enough to get a tow from the leader but wide enough not to run into an eye-balling battle.

With his energy contained, the Dark Angel colt’s change of pace from the furlong mark was electric and he had daylight between himself and last year’s winner Limato at the line.

Caravaggio, sluggish from the gate, missed third by inches, and though he was doing his best work late it was without any of his previous zest.

Harry Angel is the fifth Group 1-winning sprinter handled by Cox after Gilt Edge Girl (2010 Prix de l’Abbaye), Reckless Abandon (2012 Prix Morny, Middle Park Stakes), Lethal Force (2013 Diamond Jubilee Stakes, July Cup) and Profitable (2016 King’s Stand Stakes).

“To have one this good is very special,” said the Lambourn-based trainer. “Harry Angel has begun to settle more with his racing – he was very fresh at Ascot and the choke was out all the way.

“But even then when he came off the track the look in his eye said ‘right, I’m getting the hang of this now’. He’s growing up and that’s where we see the progress and improvement.”

A

decider between Harry Angel and Caravaggio would be a race to relish but their immediate agendas are different: the Haydock Sprint Cup nominated for Harry Angel, the Prix Maurice De Gheest at Deauville for Caravaggio.

Harry Angel was bred by Paul and Marie McCartan at their Ballyphilip Stud. The colt’s dam, the maiden Beatrix Potter, is by the 1989 July Cup winner Cadeaux Genereux and is a half-sister to Xtension, who showed smart juvenile form (placed in the Coventry and Dewhurst Stakes, won the Vintage Stakes) for Cox before a career as a high-class miler in Hong Kong.

Beatrix Potter is out of the Grand Lodge mare Great Joy, one of the County Limerick nursery’s foundation mares when it was created 17 years ago.

The July Cup hero, who raced for Peter Ridgers before being headhunted by Godolphin after bolting up in the Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock in May, made £44,000 as a yearling at Doncaster.

Harry Angel is the third Group 1 winner for Yeomanstown Stud-based Dark Angel,

also responsible for two other high-class sprinters in Lethal Force and dual Nunthorpe Stakes heroine Mecca’s Angel. The stallion also has a progressive 5f performer this season in Group 3 winner Battaash, another bred at Ballyphilip.

Dark Angel, one of the best and fastest juveniles by Acclamation, retired to stud after a first season that included a Middle Park Stakes victory. He started his second career at €10,000, Harry Angel was conceived at €12,500 and he stood at €65,000 this year.

He will also provide some new genes, as neither Dark Angel’s sire Acclamation nor his sire Royal Applause have any Darley presence.

Harry Angel remained with Cox after his recruitment by Godolphin, but the blues’ two in-house trainers Charlie Appleby and Saeed Bin Suroor have also been keeping the operation on a rolling crest.

Appleby’s haul at Newmarket included a one-two in the 1m4f Group 2 feature, the Princess Of Wales’s Stakes, with Hawkbill and Frontiersman, and a few days earlier Bin Suroor had taken the Godolphin Group 1 worldwide seasonal haul to eight with Thunder Snow in the Prix Jean Prat at Chantilly.

Churchill’s younger sister Clemmie becomes the second juvenile 6f Group winner for Galileo

o matter how fruitful the present, the future is of equal importance to any bloodstock operation and with four Classics now in the formbook, focus is sharpening on the next wave of contenders.

O’Brien dominated the Newmarket Group 2 juvenile programme with wins in two of the week’s three feature contests and had a near-miss in the other.

Clemmie, Churchill’s little sister, followed in Roly Poly’s hoofprints in the Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes (G2) and Gustav Klimt produced a remarkable performance to win the Superlative Stakes (G2).

A Ballydoyle Group 2 two-year-old three-timer was thwarted only by the Mark Johnston-trained Cardsharp, who relegated Roly Poly’s young brother US Navy Flag to second spot in the July Stakes.

Clemmie, by Galileo out of the Storm Cat mare Meow, proved herself one of the best of her sex and generation – in Ryan Moore’s opinion the best, no mean tribute given he won the Listed Chesham Stakes on her stablemate September – as she broke the track record in the Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes, showing eyecatching acceleration as she outpaced September’s Ascot victim Nyaleti.

Like so many O’Brien juveniles, she is getting better as she learns her job.

After a respectable seventh in the Albany Stakes, she broke her maiden in a Group 3 at The Curragh nine days later, 12 days before her Newmarket win.

She is only the second 6f juvenile Group winner for Galileo – the first was Cuis Ghaire in the 2009 Albany – but despite her speed a step up in distance should hold no fears. She and September head the market for next year’s 1,000 Guineas.

Gustav Klimt’s effort to take the Superlative Stakes earned him top spot in the market for the 2,000 Guineas. Badly hampered just as he was starting his challenge, he had to be snatched up and rebalanced

by Moore, and then switched left. But he kept quickening in pursuit of the leader Nebo and went through the gap between the rail and his bigger rival with considerable momentum. The winning margin was only a head, but a decisive one.

in reserve to hold on by three-quarters of a length.

He is likely to have a break, but lightlyraced Frontiersman has the King George V & Queen Elizabeth Stakes, and a rematch with Highland Reel, pencilled in.

By the time you read this the pair may have had to deal with Enable at Ascot, the filly looking the best middle-distance three-year-old of either sex after completing the Epsom-Irish Oaks double with the minimum of fuss. When going to press it was unsure whether she would take up the Ascot entry or wait for the Yorkshire Oaks (G1).

The homebred colt is the result of a classic Coolmore cross, being by Galileo out of a Danehill mare. She – the 6f Listed winner Massarra, a sister to Kodiac and half-sister to Invincible Spirit out of French Oaks heroine Rafha – joined the Coolmore fold in 2009 at a cost of 600,000gns.

She was then carrying the talented but ill-fated Galileo colt Mars, whose subsequent full-siblings have all won, including the Group 3 scorer Wonderfully.

uk racing Despite having notched ten Group 1 victories before the start of the Newmarket July meeting, Aidan O’Brien has had a season of ups and downs.

The shock reverse for Caravaggio followed a similar one for Churchill at Royal Ascot, injuries ended the careers of Derby winner Wings Of Eagles and of last year’s superstar Minding, and a more serious one the life of high-class, progressive Somehow.

But a major festival rarely passes without a top-level prize going back to Ballydoyle, and at Newmarket tough little Roly Poly obliged in the Falmouth Stakes (G1).

...a major festival rarely passes without a top-level prize going back to Ballydoyle, and at Newmarket tough little Roly Poly obliged in the Falmouth Stakes (G1)

The last success for the diminutive daughter of War Front had been on the same day at the meeting 12 months before when she won the Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes, but in between she had posted some excellent efforts in the best company, notably when touched off by one stablemate, Brave Anna, in the Cheveley Park Stakes (G1), and this year beaten rather more easily by another, the superb Winter, in the Irish 1,000 Guineas and Coronation Stakes.

Her own Group 1 victory was straightforward enough; she made all the running and despite a spirited challenge

The major juvenile events have yet to be run – the first at the top level in the European calendar is the Phoenix Stakes at The Curragh in August – but we may well have already seen the winners of both of next year’s Guineas.

Nine of out of the past dozen winners of the colts’ race had made their debuts before the end of July of the relevant year, and ten of 12 of the fillies’.

Whether or not any of those successful at the latest July meeting make an impact in Classic company at three remains to be seen.

Relatively recent winners of the Superlative Stakes include Dubawi and Dr Devious, and of the Duchess Of Cambridge (ex Cherry Hinton) Stakes, Attraction and Sayyedati.

But you have to go back 63 years to find a winner of the July Stakes – established in 1786 and the oldest surviving juvenile event in the calendar – who went on to win a Classic, Darius who won the 2,000 Guineas in 1954.

The 6f contest is often a platform for young sprinters – recent places include Intelligence Cross and Muhaarar – but the connections of the first three home in the latest running – Cardsharp, US Navy Flag and Rajasinghe – have designs on further.

Cardsharp, third over five in the Norfolk Stakes (G2) at Ascot, appreciated the step back up in distance and stayed on strongly to go clear of US Navy Flag. The Godolphin-bred colt is by Australian sire Lonhro, a top-level winner up to 1m2f, out of a Danehill mare who won over a mile.

Numerical honours on the juvenile front at Newmarket went to Godolphin and Appleby, who supplied three maiden winners in Spring Cosmos (Acclamation), Being There (Dubawi) and Poetic Charm (Dubawi), and had Tribal Quest (War Front) touched off by Global Giant (Shamardal) in the other.

Poetic Charm, a half-sister to Teofilo out of the Danehill mare Speirbhean, particularly caught the eye as she overcame trouble in running to account for the Ballydoyle candidate Sizzling.

Ulysses, by Galileo and out of the Oaks winner Light Shift, gets the better of Barney Roy by a nose in the Eclipse. The King George is next for Ulysses

from Godolphin’s returning Marcel Boussac heroine Wuheida, she asserted through the final furlong needing to be urged only by Ryan Moore’s hands and heels.

Like many of the Ballydoyle inmates Roly Poly is out of one of the County Tipperary stable’s previous stars, in her case Galileo’s daughter Misty For Me, winner of the Moyglare and Marcel Boussac at two and the Irish 1,000 Guineas and Pretty Polly Stakes at three.

With so many talented daughters of the perennial champion sire in their broodmare band, outcrosses are needed and War Front is one of the Coolmore partners’ highest-profile choices.

Roly Poly was a 14th top-level winner for the 15-year-old Danzig horse, based at Claiborne in Kentucky.

Some, like Air Force Blue, War Command and Hit It A Bomb, had their best days as two-year-olds, but others progress, such as Roly Poly herself and her contemporaries Spirit Of Valor, who followed his good Jersey Stakes (G3) second with a Group 2 win at The Curragh, and Lancaster Bomber, runner-up in the St James’s Palace Stakes (G1).

Previous crops for War Front (who started as a stallion at $12,500 and now commands a fee of $250,000) include the 2014

Diamond Jubilee Stakes (G1) runner-up Due Diligence and, arguably the best of the lot, the Queen Anne Stakes (G1) and Juddmonte International (G1) winner Declaration Of War. Now at Ashford, his Coolmore-conceived first-crop daughter Actress beat the boys in the Anglesey Stakes (G3).

The July Festival may seem the embodiment of high summer, but the meeting opens with a whiff of autumn.

The Bahrain Trophy (G3) is one of the earliest recognised St Leger eliminators (apart from the Derby, of course) and this year’s winner Raheen House is duly on course for the Doncaster Classic.

The Brian Meehan-trained colt, fourth in last year’s Racing Post Trophy, had turned in some good efforts this season, notably his second place – splitting Shutter Speed and none other than Enable – at Newbury in April and his fourth to Permian in the King Edward VII Stakes (G2) at Royal Ascot.

He saw out the 1m5f trip at Newmarket with relish, as his pedigree – he is by Sea The Stars out of a Monsun mare – entitled him to do.

The family has already produced its share of Classic talent, his second dam Eshaadeh being a half-sister to 1,000 Guineas winner Ghanaati out of Sarayir,

a half-sister to Derby hero Nashwan.

The summer is proving quite like old times with Godolphin and Coolmore joining battle, though five days before the July meeting both outfits had to give best to another well used to success at the highest level, though not so much recently as of yore.

In the Eclipse Stakes at Sandown, Ulysses provided Sir Michael Stoute with his first Group 1 success of the year as he saw off Godolphin’s Richard Hannon-trained Barney Roy by a nose, the pair well clear of outsider Desert Encounter.

The O’Brien favourite, the Derby runnerup Cliffs Of Moher, was nearly brought down earlier in the piece and did well to finish fourth.

Progressive four-year-old Ulysses is the type with which Stoute has excelled over the years. Still raw when unplaced in Harzand’s Derby after winning his maiden, he ended his second season with a good fourth to Highland Reel in the Breeders’ Cup Turf and got closer to that rival when third in the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot.

An 11th top-level strike of the season for Galileo, he is from one of the best Niarchos families, being out of Oaks heroine Light Shift.

The daughter of Blame taken wide by Pasquier to gain Prix de Diane victory, writes Jocelyn de Moubray

T

Senga makes most of her Classic chance

here is no obvious leader of the French Classic generation, and the fillies division is as unclear as the colts.

However, this has led to some fantastic finishes in the best races and the Prix de Diane was no exception. The Niarchos family’s Senga held on for a length win from Sistercharlie, Terrakova, Shutter Speed and Turf Laurel. The pack finished almost together, but it could very easily have been a different result.

The Pascal Bary-trained daughter of Blame was given a great ride by Stephane Pasquier who made the correct decision to come on the outside in the straight. He followed Frankie Dettori and Shutter Speed into the straight, and while Prince Khalid Abdullah’s filly may have gone to the front too soon, Senga’s run was timed to perfection and she showed great acceleration to go into a winning lead with 100m to run.

There were several fillies who looked very unlucky, notably the Jean-Claude Rougettrained Onthemoonagain who fell when going well 300m out, while Pierre-Charles Boudot was unable to find a clear path for Sistercharlie until the race was over.

When the gap came, Sistercharlie quickened brilliantly to snatch second place on the line.

Boudot has had the unfortunate experience of finishing second in three of the four French Classics this year on Le Brivido, Waldgeist and Sistercharlie and each time he must have had some regrets watching the replay after the race. Peter Brandt’s daughter of Myboycharlie was immediately transferred to the US and the barn of Chad Brown and on her first start once again looked unlucky to finish a close second in the Belmont Invitational Oaks behind New Money Honey.

Senga may have got the run of the race, but

euro racing she has looked like a top-class filly on all of her starts to date.

After breaking her maiden in style at two, she was an unlucky fourth in the Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac. After winning the Group 3 Prix de la Grotte on her seasonal debut, she went off too fast in the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches and then was trapped in a falsely run race when third in the Prix de Sandringham (G2).

The step-up to 1m2f clearly suited and Senga has the acceleration to win more top races when held up for a late run.

She comes from a fast family, while her dam is by A.P. Indy and her sire Blame won his Grade 1 over a mile and 1m2f on Dirt.

Her dam Beta Leo won over five and a half furlongs on her two-year-old debut, but showed nothing on her subsequent runs.

Senga is her second foal and the first Bolting, a son of War Front, was a Listed winner over 7f at three.

T

he Prix Jean Prat, the last European Group 1 for three-yearolds over a mile, attracted a small field of five which was reduced to four when Lightupthenight walked out of her stall and out of

contention.

Christophe Soumillon was given an uncontested lead by the other three jockeys on the Godolphin colt Thunder Snow and, unsurprisingly, made the most of a favourable tactical position.

Soumillon set off at a leisurely pace and covered the first 5f in 1min5.41secs, a gentle average speed of 34mph. Coming out of the turn and into the straight Soumillon began to accelerate and in the final two furlongs he and Thunder Snow sprinted, the pair covering the last 400m in 21.84secs, at an average speed of 41mph.

Thunder Snow’s principal rival, the previously unbeaten Trais Fluors, was caught out too far off the pace as at the top of the straight the Haras de Saint Pair’s son of Dansili was some 5l behind the leader.

Trais Fluors ran the last 400m even faster than Thunder Snow and closed to within three-quarters of a length, but never looked like catching the Saeed Bin Suroor-trained colt.

Thunder Snow has now won two Group 1s in France and looks ideally suited to theeir watered surfaces.

Thunder Snow: put his US experience behind him and is proving one of the season’s toughest colts

Trais Fluors ran the last 400m even faster than Thunder Snow and closed to within three-quarters of a length, but never looked like catching the Saeed Bin Suroor-trained colt three-quarters of a length in the 1m4f Grand Prix de Saint Cloud (G1).

The son of Dubawi and Zarkava is not as gifted as his contemporary Almanzor, but neither is any other member of their generation, and his entourage have struggled to find his optimum trip and how to ride him.

It seems that Zarak is particularly at ease at Saint-Cloud. On the flat left-handed track he came within a short head of winning the Group 1 Prix Ganay over 1m2f in May and then went one better in the Grand Prix six weeks later.

His trainer Alain de Royer Dupré is keen to avoid running at Chantilly as Zarak has been beaten on all four of his starts on his home track. He is likely to stay at 1m4f too, having shown that he stays middle-distances well.

Two other older horses to make a big impression in France were the Rouget-trained Taareef and Zelzal, both returning from long layoffs to finish first and second in a Group 3 over a mile at Chantilly on Prix de Diane day.

Two of the best of their generation at three, Taareef and Zelzal looked better than ever dominating the finish, despite the presence of the gifted Siyoushake in third.

Taareef, a son of Kitten’s Joy owned by Hamdan Al Maktoum, has sometimes been too stirred up before his races to show his

euro racing true ability, but this time he was calm enough and succeeded in giving 5lb to his Group 1-winning stable companion.

Taareef looks like a top-class miler now, as is Zelzal and the son of Sea The Stars is likely to improve a great deal from his first run in nine months.

His three-year-old Redoute’s Choice half-sister Ibiza is improving fast and she won the 1m1f Group 3 Prix Chloe in July at Chantilly for her breeder Viktor Timoshenko and trainer Nicolas Clement.

André Fabre may have narrowly missed out on the Classic races this year, but his stable has produced a succession of Group winners throughout the season.

Godolphin have several very promising horses with him, including the three-yearold filly Strathspey. She is a daughter of New Approach out of a Shamardal mare, and she got up in the last stride to win the Group 2 1m4f Prix de Malleret at Saint-Cloud on only her third career start.

Strathspey’s fourth dam is Glorious Song

Unraced at two and three, Rosa Imperial came from behind to win a Group 3 against colts over 6f and she remains unbeaten after three starts and her second dam Mezzo Soprano, who won the Prix Vermeille (G1). It is a race which is likely to be Strathspey’s autumn target.

Another home-bred filly who could develop into a Group 1 performer is the four-year-old Rosa Imperial, a daughter of Pivotal.

Unraced at two and three, Rosa Imperial came from behind to win a Group 3 against colts over 6f and she remains

unbeaten after three starts.

Rosa Imperial’s third dam is the Australian champion two-year-old Bint Marscay.

A third Godolphin Group 1 prospect is the three-year-old Invincible Spirit colt Inns Of Court, who has won four of his five starts to date including two Group 3s over 7f. His only defeat came when his saddle slipped in the Poule d’Esaai des Poulains (G1).

The dams of all three were entered in sales last year, and while the dam of Rosa Imperial was withdrawn, Strathspey’s dam Perfect Note was sold barren for 110,000gns.

Learned Friend, the dam of Inns Of Court, was sold in-foal to Dawn Approach for only 21,000gns at last year’s July Sale. She is a daughter of Seeking The Gold and the Group 1 winner Lune D’Or, who made €700,000 as a yearling at Deauville in 2008.

She was placed once in three starts at three and now has two winners, including Inns Of Court, from her first two foals.

Son of Shirocco beats competitive field to win Deutsches Derby

T

he Derby meeting at Hamburg was brought forward to avoid clashing with the G20 summit to be held in the city at the beginning of July, but the change of date didn’t change the weather and two days of torrential rain ensured that the ground was very soft.

The Derby attracted a competitive field of 18 and although the two favourites, Colomano and Warring States, disappointed, the finish was contested by two of the colts most in view before the race, Windstoss and Enjoy Vijay (see Gestüt Röttgen feature, page 62).

Those who went off in front failed to see out the 1m4f and as the field began the long turn into Hamburg’s short straight Enjoy Vijay and Windstoss were still at the rear of the field.

Enjoy Vijay and Andreas Starke made their move first and looked to have raced into a winning lead only to be caught and passed in the final 50m by Windstoss, who was racing alone in the middle of the track.

Enjoy Vijay is a son of Nathaniel, who was bought by Gestüt Itlingen from Gestüt Fährhof for €58,000 at the Baden-Baden September Sale.

He was Group placed at two before breaking his maiden over a mile at three and was then beaten a nose by Warring States in a Group 3 over 1m2f at Munich in May. Enjoy Vijay clearly relished the soft ground and the long trip, and he looks likely to win good races in the future. It is always difficult to evaluate the Deutsches Derby form until later in the year, but the official handicappers gave Windstoss a rating of 115, only 5lb behind Epsom Derby winner Wings Of Eagles and Irish Derby winner Capri.

If there is a line to international form it comes through the sixth horse Monreal, who had finished fourth to Recolletos and Waldgeist

in the Prix Greffuhle (G2) earlier in the year.

Windstoss’s trainer Markus Klug has another good prospect in the four-year-old Dschingis Secret, who has now won three of his last four starts in the style of a Group 1 winner.

The son of Soldier Hollow had run very poorly at Baden-Baden, but he is probably better with some give in the ground and beat the Group 1 winner Iquitos comfortably to win the Group 2 Grosser Hansa Preis over 1m4f.

The other significant winner to come out of the Hamburg meeting was Lacazar, a three-year-old Adlerflug filly who won the Group 3 over 1m3f and has now won her last three starts for trainer Peter Schiergen.

Lacazar is the new ante-post favourite for the Preis der Diana, due to be run over 11m3f in Dusseldorf in August, where she will be reopposed by Well Spoken, Gestüt Röttgen’s Soldier Hollow filly who went off too fast on the heavy ground in Hamburg and tired at the finish.

The three German favourites for the Classic are the two Adlerflug fillies, Lacazar and Tusked Wings, and the Soldier Hollow filly Well Spoken. All are grand-daughters of In The Wings.

Another possible contender is Ashiana, a Mastercraftsman filly trained by Peter Schiergen. She has won Listed races in Baden-Baden and Hanover on her last two starts.

It is very early for two-year-old races in Germany, but perhaps the most significant victory to date came in Cologne in mid-July when Nariella ran out a comfortable winner of a 7f maiden race.

The Röttgen-owned and bred filly was the first runner and winner in the northern-hemisphere for the stud’s Reliable Man, and beat colts from the Andreas Wöhler and Jean Pierre Carvalho stables in a promising style.

New Money Honey (Medaglia D’Oro): the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner has taken her career forward this year, winning the Wonder Again Stakes (G3) and the Belmont Oaks Invitational (G1)

Honey brings home the Money It’s been a strong month for Jonabell-based stallion Medaglia D’Oro on the track and in the sale ring, writes Melissa Bauer-Herzog

M

any things in the United States racing scene this year are confusing with nearly every division looking wide open as we go farther into the second half of the year, but one thing is certain – for a week in July, everyone wanted to be Medaglia D’Oro.

36

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

On July 8, Medaglia D’Oro’s 2016 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies’ Turf winner New Money Honey became the sixth of nine winners of that race to win a Grade 1 postBreeders’ Cup victory.

Three days later his yearling daughter out of the stakes-winning Hung The Moon became the first $1 million yearling to sell at Fasig-Tipton’s July Sale since 2006, and the

first filly to sell for that price at the sale since 1982.

Only two fillies have sold for $1 million at the July Sale with that other big money purchase, Al Bayan, subsequently stakes placed in England.

Medaglia D’Oro ended his week with another Grade 1 win when his dual champion daughter Songbird won her second straight

us racing Grade 1 in the Delaware Handicap over a field of five fillies and mares.

New Money Honey was one of two Breeders’ Cup winners to win through Belmont Park’s big Stars and Stripes Festival.

On a card that included five graded stakes, the filly won the second most expensive race of the day when she took home the $1 million Belmont Oaks Invitational (G1) by a neck over fellow Chad Brown trainees Sistercharlie and Uni. But it was the Kitten’s Joy ridgling Oscar Performance who really helped out the profile of a Breeders’ Cup race with his win in the $1.2 million Belmont Derby (G1).

The three-year-old got off to a slow start this year, finishing off-the-board in his first two races – so looking like many of the other Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf winners who hadn’t been able to find their form in following years.

But a front-running victory in the Pennine Ridge Stakes (G3) in June set him up perfectly for the Belmont Derby, in which he again got that front-running trip to win his second straight race.

The victory gave him the distinction of being the first of the ten Juvenile Turf winners to win a Grade 1 race after their Breeders’ Cup success.

Perhaps the biggest surprise since the Triple Crown season ended last month was seeing Curlin’s five-year-old son Keen Ice back in the winner’s circle at Belmont Park in

Only two fillies have sold for $1 million at the July Sale with that other big money purchase, Al Bayan, subsequently stakes placed in England the race before the Belmont Derby.

Keen Ice is best known for defeating American Pharoah in the 2015 Travers Stakes (G1), but the horse hadn’t won since.

Making his return to the track after a lacklustre seventh in the Dubai World Cup (G1), he was taking on Shaman Ghost, who many believe to be one of the best older males behind Arrogate.

Lot 290: the Fasig-Tipton July Sale top lot is a daughter of Medaglia D’Oro, sold by Bluewater Sales to Lawrence Best’s OXO Equine (inset) for $1,000,000

In a slow pace for the 1m4f, Keen Ice was at a disadvantage trying to close on the leaders in his come-from-behind-style, but he managed it and went away to win by 3l to score just his second lifetime victory (13 finshes in the first four) in a 20-race career.

The victory pushed his earnings over the $3 million mark and was a welcome boost for the horse, who is slated to stand at

Calumet Farm on his retirement.

Curlin has been a hot commodity on the stallion prospect market this year with three of his sons already snapped up by various farms to stand in coming seasons.

The Keen Ice deal was announced early in 2017 in late January, while Curlin’s Belmont Stakes-placed son Irish War Cry will stand next to his sire at Hill ‘N’ Dale upon his

classic round-up retirement from racing.

Most recently, Curlin’s Grade 1 winner of the Cigar MIle Handicap last November Connect was retired to Lane’s End for the 2018 breeding season after suffering a soft tissue injury.

As of July 13, Curlin has had seven stakes winners and six graded stakes winners and it

looks like the best is yet to come for him.

The stallion’s first crop of foals post-Palace Malice’s 2013 Belmont Stakes victory are hitting the two-year-old races this year and with 113 registered juveniles, not to mention upcoming crops as well, it won’t be a surprise to see even more farms snap up his sons in years to come.

Cairo Prince leads the way at Fasig-Tipton July for the younger stallions

W

hile established sires were adding to their resumés on the track over the past month, up-and-coming sires were making themselves known at the Fasig-Tipton July Sale, the first yearling sale of the year in Kentucky.

Sixty-five yearlings sold for $100,000 or more with 37 by stallions aged 10 or younger and 16 by stallions whose first crops are yearlings this year.

Even more interesting is that, of the 13 stallions to have yearlings sell for $200,000 or more, six have first yearlings or two-yearolds this year.

In what has been an excellent few years for the Empire Maker sire line, Pioneerof the Nile’s son Cairo Prince is the newest stallion from the line to strike big.

Standing for just $10,000 during his first

38

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

season at stud in 2015, Cairo Prince’s first yearlings averaged $141,875 for eight sold at the July Sale with six of the eight bringing $100,000 or more and, after private sales were factored in, all finding new homes.

Of those six to bring $100,000 or more, two led the session for a time after going through the ring when bringing final bids of $260,000 and $265,000, respectively.

With the Grade 2 winner Cairo Prince having this sort of success in the ring, it leaves people wondering what we’ll see when Pioneerof the Nile’s more accomplished son American Pharoah has his first weanlings sell this winter.

The sales-topping Medaglia D’Oro lit up the board late in the session during Tuesday.

Offered as Hip 290 by Bluewater Sales, the filly was purchased by Lawrence Best’s OXO Equine.

The filly is the first foal out of Hung The Moon, a young stakes-winning mare by

Malibu Moon. The price equals a record set in 1982 when a filly by Northern Dancer out of Bold Melody (Bold Ruler) sold for $1,000,000 and is joint fourth best all-time.

“You’re always thrilled to have a horse break out and kind of get through the ‘glass ceiling’,” said Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning. “It just demonstrates the strength of the market [and] if you put good horses in front of quality buyers, anything can happen.

She was a lovely filly.”

The sale’s top colt (Lot 194) was a yearling from the second crop of 2013 Kentucky Derby (G1) winner Orb, sold for $310,000 to Kenny McPeek, agent for Fern Circle from the consignment of Gainesway.

This sale posted gains across the board, with the sale-topper more than doubling last year’s top price ($475,000 for a Curlin colt out of Franscat), while 18 yearlings sold for $200,000 or more versus 17 in 2016, with 49 fewer horses offered.

A world of sport

A busy month sees superb performances around the globe, writes Simon Rowlands

T

he last few weeks have been busy in many parts of the horseracing world, not least in Europe, though the really big guns have remained on the sidelines.

Nothing emerged in that time to threaten the dominance of Arrogate (rated 141 by Timeform)

40

in the northern-hemisphere or Winx (134) in the southernhemisphere* (See note at end).

The best winningperformances in the post-Royal Ascot period have come jointly from Satono Crown (Marju) (winner of the Takarazuka Kinen (G1) in Japan), Mind Your Biscuits (Posse) (Belmont Sprint Championship (G1) in the US)

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

and Ulysses (Eclipse Stakes (G1), Britain), each of them earning a 128 figure from the same source.

Ulysses’s win at Sandown came in a messy contest and by a nose from the younger Excelebration colt Barney Roy (rated 127) and is around par, rather than better, for this prestigious race.

The latter is now rated third-

best three-year-old in Europe, behind Harry Angel on 129 and Caravaggio on 128, and just ahead of Churchill on 126.

Harry Angel owes his position to a comfortable win in the July Cup (G1) at Newmarket – a race in which things went his way and in which Caravaggio came fourth – and to a clock-busting victory at Haydock in May.

124+ POET’S WORD

Poet’s Voice

LEADING THREE-YEAR-OLDS In between, Caravaggio ran him down late in the Commonwealth Cup (G1) at Royal Ascot: there remains a score to be settled between the pair.

The best Classic-aged filly in Europe is almost certainly Enable (Nathaniel), who followed her fast-time Oaks (G1) win at Epsom with a facile victory in the Irish equivalent at The Curragh and is rated 124, with the added bonus of being eligible for a sex allowance if taking on males. She looks like she could go right to the top.

The Irish Derby a fortnight earlier was a far less clear-cut affair in which Capri (rated 122) looked a shade fortunate to beat the less enterprisingly-ridden pair of Cracksman (Frankel)

(123) and Wings Of Eagles (Galileo) (124), who had finished ahead of him in The Derby at Epsom.

Wings Of Eagles sustained a serious injury at The Curragh and has been retired.

In the absence of the preeminent European Classic filly miler Winter (Galileo) – who is taking a mid-season break – the horse who finished second to her at The Curragh and Royal Ascot, Roly Poly (War Front) , won a weak Falmouth Stakes (G1) at Newmarket with a 116-rated performance Ulysses (Galileo) provided the older-horse highlight in Europe in the period under review, but the previous year’s Eclipse winner Hawkbill (Kitten’s Joy) was not far behind him when

back to form with success in the Princess of Wales’s Stakes (G1) at Newmarket, running to 124 in denying a reluctant-looking Frontiersman (Frankel).

Zarak (Dubawi) ran to that same figure in landing the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud (G1) at the beginning of July from Silverwave (Silver Frost), while Dschingis Secret (Soldier Hollow) was just fractionally lower on 123 when winning the Grosser Hansa-Preis (G2) at Hamburg with authority to edge the standings of best active German-trained horse.

Rain Goddess (Galileo) was five and a half lengths in arrears of Enable in the Irish Oaks, but had previously finished two and a quarter closer to Nezwaah (Dubawi) in the Pretty

Polly Stakes (G1) on the same course, with the latter running to a 120 figure which suggests she is up to mixing it with some of the best.

Big races in France went to the globetrotting Thunder Snow (Helmet) (Prix Jean Prat (G1) at Chantilly, where he ran to 121, and Shakeel (Dalakhani) (Grand Prix de Paris (G1) at Saint-Cloud, 117), though the former – who had been placed behind Churchill then Barney Roy on his previous two starts – might have been fortunate to account for a strong-

finishing Trais Fluors (118).

There have been plenty of big races in North America of late, but few in the way of stand-out performances.

The aforementioned win by Mind Your Biscuits at Belmont came at 7f and identifies the four-year-old as the leading contender for the Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1) at Del Mar in November.

The Medaglia D’Oro filly New Money Honey (Belmont Oaks (G1), rated 115) and the Kitten’s Joy colt Oscar Performance

(Belmont Derby (G1), rated 118) were Grade 1 winners on the same afternoon, while Curlin’s Keen Ice (122) gained his first success in nearly two years when turning over the penalised Shaman Ghost (Ghostzapper) (125) in the Grade 2 Suburban Stakes on the same card.

Songbird (Medaglia D’Oro) has a record to die for – one narrow defeat in 14 runs and nine victories at Grade 1 level – but managed to diminish her standing somewhat with a hardfought success over inferior rivals

in the Delaware Handicap (G1) last time.

She ran to 124 here and was rated 128 last year: it remains to be seen if she is quite as good as she was. *Arrogate’s defeat in the TVG San Diego Handicap (G2) at Del Mar on July 23rd when he finished fourth took place as we were going to press.

Simon will review the performance, along with results from Goodwood and York, in the next issue, due out at the beginning of September.

US juveniles get going with Ten City impressive at Churchill Downs These are early days for North American two-year-olds, with the action really heating up from late-August onwards.

The best of them at this stage could be the Grade 3 Churchill Downs winner Ten City (Run Away And Hide) (rated 107) and the impressive filly Listed winners Surrender Now by Morning Line (at Santa Anita, rated 111) and the Shackleford filly Dream It Is (Woodbine, 108).

In Europe, there is no clear divisional leader among the youngsters despite several Group races (though none at Group 1 level) having been run.

One with stronger claims than most is Beckford by Bated Breath (rated 111), who had the Coventry Stakes third Murillo (Scat Daddy) beaten a couple of lengths further than he had been in that race when taking the Railway Stakes at The Curragh in good style from Verbal Dexterity (Vocalised) (107).

The Coventry Stakes winner Rajasinghe (110) found things happening a bit quickly for him when third to the racehardened Cardsharp (109) in the July Stakes (G2) at Newmarket.

Churchill’s sister Clemmie

42

won the fillies’ equivalent – the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes (G2) – in a wind-assisted juvenile course record and goes up to 107 on the ratings.

Clemmie had been seventh to the Dabirsim filly Different League (109) and the Mastcraftsman filly Alpha Centauri (108) in the Group 3

Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot.

The sixth there Actress (Declaration Of War) further boosted that form when winning the Group 3 Anglesey Stakes at The Curragh with a 106 performance.

Another Aidan O’Brien-

trained youngster, Gustav Klimt (Galileo), won the Superlative Stakes (G2) at Newmarket by just a head, but encountered significant trouble in running and will surely improve further on the 104 performance figure he posted in this.

Epsom Derby hero Wings Of Eagles

Different League going clear in the Albany Stakes (G3)

T

HIS is our “French-based” issue allowing us to concentrate on all that is good about the French bloodstock industry, and it has been a fabulous international year already for the country’s racing and breeding industry – one of its best in recent years and one that possibly heralds more to come.

The success includes Haras de Montaigu breeding and selling the Epsom Derby winner Wings Of Eagles, who went on to run with distinction at The Curragh in the Irish Derby albeit suffering a career-ending injury.

The roll of honour moved on to Royal Ascot with three French successes: La Brivido, bred by Jean and Brigette Bugada, winning the Jersey Stakes (G3) (see page 71) and by the continually progessive young

French sire Siyouni, the Ecurie Cadran-bred Qemah taking the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes and becoming a Royal meeting winner for the second year in succession, and, of course, the Irish-Franco victory of Different League for trainer Matthieu Palussiere and owner Theresa Marnane in the Group 3 Albany Stakes.

The filly was bred by Lotfi Kohli, and is by the European leading first-season sire Haras de Grandcamp’s Dabirsim (see page 77).

The son of Hat Trick following on from Siyouni’s strong showing with his first crop of two-year-olds in 2014.

Second-season sire Rajsaman’s leading performer is the Jockey-Club (G1) winner Brametot and that result, alongside the wider performances, are a reflection of the growing sire power in the country: the now established

sires Siyouni, Le Havre, Kendargent all continuing to go from strength to strength, while the younger stallions, including further names such as Wootton Bassett, Rio De La Plata, Style Vendome, are all well regarded and progressive.

Recently on French Turf the Dalakhani gelding Shakeel saw off the fancied British raider Permian to take the Grand Prix de Paris, the victory giving jockey Christophe Soumillon his 100th Group 1 success.

Arqana’s May Breeze Up Sale was its best-ever – statistical records across the board and the highest-priced two-year-old breeze-up horse ever sold in Europe, the son of Street Sense consigned by Mocklershill and bought by this year’s big spender Kerri Radcliffe for €1,400,000.

haras du logis

Reaping rewards Equine graduates from Haras du Logis are enjoying a successful 2017, while the farm’s exciting bunch of stallions were busier than ever through the spring.

We chat to happy owner Julian Ince, who is celebrating ten and 20-year anniversaries at his farm in Normandy Photos by John Reardon

J

ulian Ince and his farm the Haras du Logis are enjoying a particularly successful season this year, but Ince has always given the impression of being somebody who enjoys what he does.

It is now ten years since Ince purchased Haras du Logis and 20 years since he started working on the farm.

The anniversaries had already been marked by two Classic wins for Brametot, who the stud sold as a foal at the 2014 Arqana December Sale, a successful covering season with some 600 mares sent to the farm’s ten stallions, while Tiberian, the Melbourne Cup prospect owned in partnership with Australian Thoroughbreds, Heiko Volz and Stefan Falk, has already won a Group and a Listed race en route for bigger targets in the autumn.

“I have also had my first-ever double as an owner when Yellow Storm and Temperino both won at Senonnes,” says Ince, before adding, “and then only a week later my first Listed double when two Logis breds and daughters of Rio De La Plata – Thais and Aiming For Rio – won on the same day at Maisons Laffitte.”

Brametot arrived at Logis as a foal during the summer of 2014 to be prepared for the breeding stock sales.

“Johnny McKeever asked me to prepare him for the sale on behalf of his Chilean breeder Jorge Cardemil,” recalls Ince.

“Brametot was an outstanding foal and at the sale it was obvious that Sylvain Vidal liked him very much. I remember him asking me if we were planning to protect him.

“I told him that the owner wasn’t going to but that I, together with some chums, were hoping to buy him and race him ourselves.

Brametot was born in Ireland and is not qualified for French premiums and so when Sylvain bid €26,000 we decided to stop.”

If Brametot was only at Logis in passing, Tiberian’s story goes back almost to the beginning of Ince’s time at the stud.

Tiberian is the first foal of Tiberius Caesar and was born in 2012 when his sire was 12 and at the beginning of his second career as the teaser for the stud’s Darley stallions.

He was never offered for sale.

“Tiberian was always the best-looking yearling on the farm,” explains Ince.

He was put into training with Alain Couetil for his breeders Ince, Volz and Falk.

At three he looked like a very promising stayer winning twice and finishing second to Vazirabad in a Group 2 at the Arc weekend.

At four he failed to win having being

50

highly tried, but he finished fourth in the Group 1 Grosser Preis von Baden and, on his final start of the year, was beaten just a short head in the Prix du Conseil de Paris at Chantilly.

This year at five Tiberian has looked better than ever winning a Listed race and a Group 3 impressively on his first two starts of the year.

“We have sold half of Tiberian to Australian Thoroughbreds and his long-term target is the Melbourne Cup, but we plan to run him in some big races between now

and then,” Ince says.

The story began in 1999 when Thekla, the dam of two German Classic winners Turfkonig and Tryphosa, was bred to the Logis stallion Zeiten.

The resulting colt was the first horse Ince bred in partnership with Heiko Volz, who would later become a well-known figure in the racing world after buying the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe winner Danedream for €9,000 as an unraced two-year-old.

The colt went to the Arqana August Sale in

haras du logis 2001 and was sold to the BBA Germany for a million francs, the equivalent of €170,000 today.

Named Tiberius Caesar the son of Zeiten went to be trained by Peter Schiergen for Gestüt Schlenderhan.

He ran in the colours of the famous German stud until he was five. He won four races, including a Group 3 at Bremen over a mile.

At six he was sold and continued his racing career in Sweden until, as a seven-year-old,

Brametot was an outstanding foal and at the sale it was obvious that Sylvain Vidal liked him very much

he ran in a claimer at Chantilly and was sold again to carry on racing in France at eight and nine.

He was claimed by Ince in 2008 from a race at Longchamp. In total, Tiberius Caesar ran 62 times over eight seasons in France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Denmark and Norway.

Tiberius Caesar obviously didn’t have the profile of a future stallion, but he always had a stallion’s pedigree and must have been sounder and tougher than many of the

Left, Manduro at Haras du Logis.

Vazirabad, his leading runner through 2017 so far, is a dual Group 2 winner this year of the Prix Prix Vicomtesse Vigier and the Dubai Gold Cup. He won the Prix Royal Oak (G1) and finished second in the Prix Cadran (G1) in 2016.

us racing mainly because of his Argentinian pedigree.

“His first three crops were relatively small, but the moment people saw his foals and they started going to the sales he has been popular and he covered big books last and this year.”

Rio De La Plata’s first crop of 42 three-year-olds includes the two very useful Listed winners Thais and Aiming For Rio, both bred at Logis and stakes winners on the same day at Maisons Laffitte.

The two stars look likely to go on to better things and were both useful two-year-olds as well.

His second crop of 39 foals includes the useful early French two-year-old Rioticism, winner of a Listed race in the middle of July.

Thais was bred by Geroges Sandor, who is a loyal Logis client, while Ince bred Aiming For Rio out of a grand-daughter of Torgau.

She finished second to another daughter of the Logis stallion Zeiten in the Cheveley Park Stakes (G1) in 1999.

Thais has a two-year-old full-brother in training with Pascal Bary, while Aiming For Rio has a yearling full-sister.

“Geroges Sandor and I are more than happy to send mares to Rio De La Plata,” Ince laughs, again.

Ever since his first foals appeared, Rio De La Plata has been a popular choice for mare owners

stallions he has worked for during his time at Logis.

Tiberius Caesar covered one mare in 2011 and produced Tiberian. He covered another one in 2012 and produced Magnentius, the winner of two races in the colours of Logis in 2016.

He covered two mares in 2013 producing two foals ,one of whom is Yellow Storm, a filly trained for a Logis partnership by Couetil and who was far from disgraced when finishing eighth in the Prix de Diane after breaking her maiden at Senonnes only weeks earlier.

Since Tiberian emerged Tiberius Caesar has been far busier and he has ten foals of 2017 and covered close to 20 mares this year.

“I don’t like changing my rules,” laughs Ince, “and so I only sent him one mare but Heiko sent him several, including some of his best mares.”

A further source of satisfaction for Ince and Logis in 2017 has been the success of young sire Rio De La Plata.

Rio De La Plata was still racing as a sevenyear-old and retired to Logis at eight in 2013.

“At the beginning he was not an easy sell,” Ince recalls, “many breeders were wary

nce moved to France in 1995. “I had spent eight or nine years working at Coolmore in Ireland,” he explains. “At the time I was helping some Italian breeders set up a stud near Newmarket.

I heard there was a position available helping Sven Hanson set up a farm in Normandy at the Haras de Vieux Pont.

“I applied for the job and was interviewed and given the position by John Ferguson, who at the time was Hanson’s bloodstock advisor.

“Travelling or working abroad was not a problem as I had already lived in Ireland, although I have to admit that at the time the French language was difficult!”

While he was working for Sven and Carina Hanson, Ince met Ulrich Fricker from Switzerland who had recently purchased the Haras du Logis from Xavier Bozo and his family.

“I met Ulrich when I was at Vieux Pont,” Ince continues, “and he kept coming to see me trying to persuade me to come and help him at Logis, which at the time was empty with few horses and even fewer clients.”

In 1997, Ince agreed and moved to Logis, which is near Trun and only half-an-hour’s drive south of the Haras de Vieux Pont.

In 1998 Zeiten, a son of Danzig who had won the Middle Park Stakes for Sheikh

About 95 per cent of our own mares are covered by Darley sires which creates the right atmosphere and shows we have confidence in them ourselves Mohammed and André Fabre but who was owned by Fricker and his partners as a stallion, moved to Logis after spending his first covering seasons at the Irish National Stud.

Zeiten was an excellent stallion. He produced the first two in the Cheveley Park Stakes in 1999 and, if he had not suffered from poor fertility throughout his career, he would have been a huge success.

He continued to produce Group and stakes horses from small crops until his fertility ran out completely.

His daughters produced the stallion Zanzibari, as well as the dams of this year’s Poule d’Essai des Pouliches winner Precieuse and Aiming For Rio. “I set about building up the farm,” Ince remembers, “and among the first English and Irish clients I found were Heiko and Jocelyn Targett, both of whom are still with us today.

“After two years the farm was full of horses and we had a large group of clients. Fricker then told me that he had decided to sell as he didn’t enjoy living on such a busy farm which was always full of people and visitors!

“I asked him if he would consider leasing me the farm and we agreed to a hefty lease, but happily the clients stayed with me.”

Ten years ago in 2007 Ince agreed to purchase the farm, which is over 130ha.

There are now between 50 and 60 permanent boarders on the farm belonging to Logis and to clients.

For some 20 years Logis has been standing stallions for Darley.

At the beginning it was horses such as Medaaly and Lord Of Men, whereas for the 2017 season Logis stood nine for Sheikh Mohammed’s stud operation – Manduro, Authorized, Bow Creek, Exosphere, Hunter’s Light, Masterstroke, Rio De La Plata, Slickly,

Sidestep, as well as, of course, Tiberius Caesar.

“We covered around 600 mares in 2017, which makes it our third-best season ever following on from 2016 which set a new record number,” Ince says.

“Manduro, Authorized and now Rio De La Plata, they are among the best value sires anywhere in Europe and are popular with breeders.

“About 95 per cent of our own mares are covered by Darley sires which creates the right atmosphere and shows we have confidence in them ourselves.”

Since Ince first moved to Logis the French stallion market has been transformed.

“Plenty of young and successful French operations have arrived,” he agrees, “but competition is always welcome and in the end they bring new money into the system for everybody.”

As for the horses bred by Logis and its clients Ince explains: “We sell what we can, keep what we want, and give away the others!

“In France you can as you will always have the premiums if any horse is successful.”

And Logis has several useful horses who will be earning premiums over the coming months, ensuring that Julian Ince remains a very happy man.

fabrice chappet

Talking horses Fabrice Chappet has enjoyed a breakthrough and in-form year, highlighted by Precieuse's Poule d'Essai des Pouliches victory.

Jocelyn de Moubray meets the straight-talking trainer at his Chantilly yard

F

rom the beginning of the French racing season at Cagnes-sur-Mer in January the good form of Fabrice Chappet’s horses has been a consistent feature of 2017.

For some weeks he was leading the French trainers’ table in terms of money won and though by the end of June, after all of the Classic races had been run, the perennial leading trio of André Fabre, Jean-Claude Rouget and Henri Alex Pantall had taken their usual places at the top, Chappet was still in fourth place.

At the end of the month he had produced 32 winners, earned €1.1 million in prize-money and is heading for a new personal best (his best season to date was in 2014 when he won 44 races and €1.1 million).

Fabre, Rouget and Pantall have dominated French racing in the 21st century.

They were three of the top four trainers at the beginning in 2001, the top three in 2007, and are still the leading three in terms of number of horses run, number of wins and prize-money earned in 2017.

By the end of June the big three had run 129, 116 and 148 different horses, compared with Chappet’s 57.

Over these years the other major French trainers have been Freddy Head, Alain de Royer Dupre and, in the Treve years, Criquette Head. All six are now in their mid-60s and early-70s, and so at some point in the not so distant future there is likely to be a change of generations and of names at the top of the trainers’ table.

Not that any of these speculations are of much interest to Chappet. He is not a great believer in the concept of stables “in form”, which is only fleetingly mentioned in the French racing press or on Equidia.

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

“It is not something I have ever really been aware of,” he explains. “It is much more a question of which horses you have in your yard. If you have good, sound horses then you will win races, and if you have ordinary unsound ones then you will

fabrice chappet only win a few from time to time!

“Racing in France is like a very steep sided pyramid – if your horses are not going forward and are not winning races then it becomes more and more complicated.”

Regarding the places at the top of the table it is not his business either as, he laughs, “there is no retirement age in this business!”

So the Chappet stable may not be on any better form than usual, but it does have some good horses this year including, of course, his first Classic winner Precieuse, successsful in the Group 1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches at Deauville in May.

Racing in France is like a very steep sided pyramid – if your horses are not going forward and are not winning races then it becomes more and

‘“The plan to run Precieuse in the Poule,” Chappet says, “was decided by her owner Brendan Hayes the day she was born.”

Hayes, who together with his wife Anne Marie owned Precieuse up to her Classic victory, was for many years the manager of Knocktoran Stud, breeding and raising horses for Jean-Pierre Binet and Richard Strauss.

The colours of RC Strauss were carried by many champions from Last Tycoon through to Immortal Verse, many of whom were raised at Knocktoran and trained by Robert Collet.

“I have known Brendan for years,”

fabrice chappet Chappet continues, “from my time as assistant to Robert Collet. I have been asking him to send me a horse for years, too!

“The Prix Yacowlef, a Listed race for unraced two-year-olds in Deauville, used to be a race Jean-Pierre Binet cared about and they won it with horses such as Beauty Is Truth and New Girlfriend.

“When I won the race with Mocklershill, I told Brendan that, now I had won the Yacowlef, he had to send me a horse!

“The one I got was Precieuse. Brendan knows the Kilfrush families and they bred Poule d’Essai winners such as No Pass No

Sale and Tie Black so he knows the type of horse it takes to win these races.”

Precieuse’s grand-dam Zeiting was bred

by Knocktoran and ran in Hayes’ colours winning the Prix Zeddan over 6f as a twoyear-old and finishing sixth, beaten less than 2l, in the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches won by Bluemamba.

Precieuse’s dam Zut Alors followed a similar path finishing third in the Zeddan and unplaced in the Poule d’Essai. Not altogether surprisingly Precieuse made her debut over 6f, beaten a short head before going for the Zeddan in which she finished second.

Precieuse: the daughter of Tamayuz was bought by White Birch Farm after her win in the Poule D'Essai des Pouliches (G1)

In total, Precieuse ran five times over 5f100yds and 6f winning a maiden easily and finishing second in two Listed races at two, and a Group 3 at three before the Pouliches.

“I suppose,” reasons Chappet, “that it is my American experience which sometimes leads me to run horses over too short a trip to prepare them for a race.

“In Precieuse’s case, with her future career as a broodmare in mind, we were looking for the best opportunities to win black-type too, however, the plan was always to go for the Pouliches.”

Few other people had followed the trainer’s plan and Precieuse started at 33-1 in the Classic, but, under a confident ride from Olivier Peslier, the pair waited well off a fast early pace and came late to pass most of the field and win easily by a length and three-quarters.

Following the race Precieuse was sold to Peter Brandt’s White Birch Farm and it was in White Birch’s colours that she ran in the Coronation Stakes (G1) at Royal Ascot.

The race did not go as planned – she broke very fast and then ran too freely in front using up her speed long before the decisive part of the race.

I

n fact, May was a far better month than June for the stable as the other star three-year-old in the yard, the filly Vue Fantastique, finished an excellent second in the Group 1 Prix Saint Alary in Deauville in May only to disappoint in the Prix de Diane in June when unable to act on the firm ground.

Chappet was calm in the excitement of victory in Deauville telling the press.

“I am lucky to have good horses in my yard,” he said and was then, when speaking after defeat, philosophical.

“The pressure of having runners in big races is far more agreeable than having to worry about why you don’t have any runners in big races!

“And experience tells you that, by the day of the race, there is not much more you can do. There is no point going to the races hoping for a miracle and if the horse is not showing you what you want in the weeks leading up to the race it is not going to do so on the day.”

Chappet was brought up in Chantilly and although his family had no involvement in racing he rode horses and started riding as an amateur jockey while a student studying economics at the Sorbonne in Paris.

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

59

fabrice chappet His vocation to become a trainer came about in a roundabout way and the decisive moment was being called up to do his military service in December.

“In those days everyone had to do a year’s military service,” he recounts. “I was called up in December, but when I got back I couldn’t take up my studies again immediately and had to wait eight months until the following September. I decided to go to the United States.”

Once in the US, Chappet took a job as an exercise rider for John Nerud and ended up staying for nearly six years first as a rider and then as assistant.

“Cozenne had just left the stable when I arrived,” he continues, “and John Nerud was handing over to his son Jan. We had some good horses, and most of them were by Fappiano. It was a good school.

“They were very close to their horses and rigorous in their approach to them.”

Chappet was tempted to stay in the US and start out as a trainer there, his economics degree having been pushed aside, but decided to return to France when a position as assistant to Robert Collet arose in 1990.

F

ive years later Chappet appeared for the first time on a racecard as a trainer and by 1997 he was making a name for himself winning 22 races with only 21 horses, with victories including three Tierce handicaps.

“American racing is very attractive professionally,” explains Chappet, “but I wanted to come back to France to live.

In the US if you win races as a trainer you will get horses and good horses immediately, whereas in France it is more complicated.

“If you win handicaps and claimers people say he is good with handicappers or with claimers, it takes time to get good horses.”

And good horses are what Chappet was looking for from the beginning.

“I am not sure that as a trainer you add that much, it is after all the horses who run. I think any competent trainer would have won the Poule d’Essai with Precieuse and similarly I imagine I would have won the race with most of the previous winners.”

Is there anything he is doing differently from his competitors?

“Perhaps,” he replies. “I tend to work my

You always have in mind a balance between getting horses fit and preserving their mentality: you want your horses to be fit, but not too fit...

horses faster and over shorter distances than some. You always have in mind a balance between getting horses fit and preserving their mentality: you want your horses to be fit, but not too fit and you get better at these sort of judgments with time and experience, but then surely that is true of almost any job?”

Chappet appears to thrive on the competition. He lives, as all trainers do, in a very competitive sporting world.

“What matters is not the level of prizemoney,” he argues, “it is whether or not you are winning. If you are winning races then you will have clients, horses and a good living, and if you are not winning, you won’t.”

After being a successful trainer of mainly handicappers and claiming horses for some 15 years, the last five seasons has seen Chappet’s stable move on to a different level, while even before this year he had established himself as a top 20 trainer in France.

During this time he has been very active in the yearling market and buying good horses relatively cheaply is a way to make money and to attract new clients into the yard.

“I have always enjoyed buying at the sales,” he says. “Nobody was asking me to buy horses for them so if I didn’t buy them myself I wasn’t going to get them in the yard.

“I look to buy athletes, and if you are spending your own money, you learn fast.”

He succeeded in buying Group horses such as La Berma relatively cheaply and then attracted new and important owners into the stable when selling horses after early promising performances.

Brandt visited his stable several times to see Precieuse, while Martin Schwartz is now the owner of Vue Fantastique.

Other international owners who have trusted Chappet with horses recently include Chris Wright, Peter Kavanagh and the Sheail Al Kuwari, while his French owners include Berend van Dalfsen, the owner of the sprinter Finsbury Square who has six wins and 21 places from 28 starts with more than €600,000 in earnings, Jean Louis Bouchard and the Haras d’Etreham.

Chappet is going to continue to appear on raceards next to the names of Group winners. He is a trainer of twoyear-olds, fast horses and stayers, or, as he might put it, if he has a good horse in his stable he has shown that he is able to give it a chance to show its value.

Which is, afterall, that owners want their trainers to do.

POTENT!

Since 2009, when his first crop were two-year-olds, he’s the only one of the world’s greatest stallions to have sired more than 10% Group winners to runners.

Röttgen resurgent

Gestüt Röttgen achieved one of its major ambitions winning the Deutsches Derby with Windstoss. We report from the farm that now has international goals in mind 62

or a television or internet audience the reaction of the winner at the moment of victory is an important part of the spectacle of any sporting event.

The winning goal, stroke or putt is far less fun to watch if there is no visible emotional reaction.

Racing has not always been good at providing this cathartic aspect of the sporting show, but anyone who watched the live stream of this year’s Deutsches Derby will have been in no doubt as to what Windstoss’s win meant to Gestüt Röttgen, the horse’s owner and breeder, and to Röttgen’s trainer Markus Klug.

There was a camera directed to record Klug’s live reaction. At the moment Windstoss and Enjoy Vijay flash past the post together, separated by most of the width of the track, Klug looks bewildered and unsure as to the outcome.

He walks down from the stand ignoring congratulations as he gazes at the big screen looking for confirmation. When he gets it, and the right number comes up, he sinks to knees on the track overcome by emotion.

Meanwhile, Windstoss is greeted and led-in by a jubilant Dr Guenter Paul, the President of the Mehl-Mulhens Foundation, which owns and runs Röttgen. In the winners’ enclosure he and the horse is embraced by stud manager Frank Dorff, while the financial manager Robert Niederprum was hugging the winning jockey Maxim Pecheur, another member of the Röttgen team.

The Deutsches Derby has been open to foreign-trained and bred runners for some years, but few travel over to try and emulate Godolphin’s Buzzword, the only overseastrained winner of the race to date.

The race is run on the strange turning track in Hamburg and more often than not on extreme ground. Some years the ground is rock hard, but more often than not there are heavy rain storms in Hamburg in July and the race is run on very soft or even heavy ground, and always with a large and competitive field.

There are other more conventional tests for three-year-olds, but for German owners, breeders, trainers and jockeys it remains the race which defines the season.

Even if there are good years and weaker ones, inevitably with fewer than 1,000 foals born in Germany each year, the overall quality of the race remains remarkably high.

In the last 20 years the race has been won by international stars such as the filly Borgia, the Breeders’ Cup winner Shirocco and Adlerflug, who is now

Winning the Derby is always an event, but for Röttgen it was extra special as it confirmed the revival in the stud’s fortunes over the last ten years one of Germany’s leading stallions.

In 2012, Pastorius created an upset when beating Novellist, and both colts went on to international Group 1 victories. In 1993, in the best of all Deutsche Derby’s, the Japan Cup winner Lando defeated the great stallion Monsun with Röttgen’s top horse Sternkonig only third.

Winning the Derby is always an event, but for Röttgen it was extra special as it confirmed the revival in the stud’s fortunes over the last ten years.

Founded by Peter Muelhens in 1927 and run by him and then by daughter Maria until her death in 1985, Gestüt Röttgen has belonged to a foundation since operated with the stated aim of promoting racing and

breeding in Germany and further afield.

However, there was a moment when it seemed as if the stud would struggle to compete successfully as an owner and breeder in an ever-more competitive environment.

In one year Röttgen only managed to win four small races as an owner and ten as a breeder in a complete season.

Things began to change after Enora’s victory in the 2010 Preis der Diana. The following year Klug took over as trainer at Röttgen and then in 2012 Wild Coco, trained

by Sir Henry Cecil, won the Group 2 Park Hill Stakes and Group 3 Lily Langtry Stakes in Röttgen’s colours.

T

hat same year Wild Coco was sold as a filly in-training at the Tattersalls December Sales for 985,000gns and then went on to finish a close second to Treve in the Group 1 Prix Vermeille as a five-year-old.

In 2015, Rottgen finished fourth in the German breeders’ table, last year the stud was second and by mid-July this year it was the clear leader among German breeders by earnings.

The stud’s success on the racecourse has been translated into sales too, and at the 2016

gestüt röttgen Gestüt Röttgen has enjoyed an upward curve since 2010 and is keen to win with and promote German-bred horses around the globe

Baden-Baden September Sale the farm was amongst the leading vendors selling nine yearlings for a total of €903,000, including a Soldier Hollow filly for €300,000 and a Soldier Hollow colt out of Wilddrossel called Winston for €250,000. He is in training with Roger Charlton for Bjorn Nielsen.

The transformation was not the result of any sudden investment.

In 2017 the stud bred 27 mares, all but two of whom come from families who have been in the stud for 25 years or more.

Aside from the people involved, Sternkonig also played a part in this resurgence of the Röttgen female lines. The stud has bred Group and Listed winners from four Sternkonig mares and Kastila, Wild Side, and now Windstoss’s dam Wellenspiel, have produced Group 1 performers in recent years.

Wild Coco, a daughter of Shirocco out of the Sternkonig mare Wild Side, was one of the first matings decided by Dorff after he was appointed manager of the stud.

“I wanted to try inbreeding to Konigsstuhl,” Dorff

Wellenspiel was trained by Werner Baltromei and even if she was not very good, she was very brave and always tried as hard as she could remembers. “I asked people who knew him what they thought of the idea and they all said that it was not a good one as Konigsstuhl was too big and not correct enough.

“I went ahead anyway as it seemed they were all talking about him as an old horse and not as the great champion who had won the German Triple Crown and bred Monsun.”

Wild Coco is inbred 4x3 to Konigsstuhl and she was a big filly, but she was a very good one so it is hardly surprising that Dorff was keen to repeat the cross.

“We decided to keep Wellenspiel as a mare as she had a great temperament and was a daughter of Sternkonig. Wellenspiel was trained by Werner Baltromei at two and three and, even if she was not very good, she was

gestüt röttgen very brave and always tried as hard as she could,” Dorff continues.

“She also comes from a family which has been in the stud for eight generations now.

Peter Muelhens bought Windstoss’s eighth dam Winnica in 1930 and the foal she was carrying was Wahnfried, who won the St Leger in 1936 and the Grosser Preis von Baden. Two other horses from this line have also finished second in the Deutsches Derby – the filly Wacholdis and Waldcanter in 1959.”

Winnica was bred in Poland by Prince Stefan Lubomirski and her fifth dam was Kincsem, the unbeaten winner of 54 races, including every important race in Germany and Hungary, as well as the Goodwood Cup and the Grand Prix de Deauville in the 1870s.

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

here are two active Röttgen families from this line – the stud sold Walesiana to Sheikh Mohammed after she had won the German 1,000 Guineas beating her stable companion Well Known.

For Sheikh Mohammed, Walesiana produced the Nassau Stakes (G1) winner Zahrat Dubai. In return, Röttgen bought Zaynaat, a full-sister to Zahrat Dubai, from Sheikh Mohammed and bred the Groupplaced juvenile Wildheart.

Wellenspiel was born when her dam Well Known was already 21. Well Known, a daughter of Konigsstuhl, had been champion two-year-old in Germany before finishing second in both the German 1,000 Guineas and the Diana.

“This part of the family have,” Dorff adds, “always loved soft ground. Well Known loved soft ground as did her best son the Group 1 winner Well Made. So it is not surprising that Windstoss loves it soft too.”

Like every colt born on the stud Windstoss was offered for sale as a yearling. However, as much as Dorff liked the cross (Windstoss is inbred 3x3 to Konigsstuhl), by 2015 his sire Shirocco was no longer a commercial Flat stallion so the colt went to the October Sale in Baden-Baden.

“Before we left for the sale the idea was to have a reserve of €15,000 on him,” recalls Dorff, “but at the sale he was impressing me and Markus [Klug] and so by the time he went into the ring we had decided not to let him go for less than €30,000.

“He didn’t get anywhere near that and was bought back at €16,000.”

At two, Windstoss looked promising breaking his maiden on his third start over a

gestüt röttgen

"Now we have won both the Oaks and the Derby, I think the next target is to win a Group race outside Germany with Markus as the trainer" mile in Cologne, but he was not up to Group class at two and could only finish sixth in a Group 3 at the end of the year.

At three and tried over longer trips he was, however, immediately a different proposition – he won a Listed race over 2,200m on his seasonal reappearance easily by two and a half lengths and 10l.

“After the Listed win in Dusseldorf, our stable jockey Adrie de Vries started calling Windstoss his ‘Derby horse!’” says Dorff.

De Vries was right about the son of Shirocco’s ability, but didn’t get the chance to ride him at Hamburg – on the horse's next start in a Listed race at Hanover the pair were brought down when a horse alongside them jumped a path and nearly fell.

De Vries injured his hand and has not been able to ride since.

Klug wanted to know whether Windstoss was deserving of a place in the Derby and so he ran him just a week later in the Group 2 Union Rennen in Cologne. The horse made most of the running and was only passed and beaten into second by his stable companion Colomano in the final half furlong.

Windstoss was clearly going to run in Hamburg, but the final drama was finding a suitable jockey.

With De Vries injured and seven runners in the race, Klug was struggling to find enough jockeys to go around.

After looking to secure an international jockey, at the last minute it was decided to give the ride to Pecheur, who rides Windstoss every morning and who had ridden him in the Union Rennen.

Pecheur rode a remarkable race, whereas previously Windstoss had always been ridden prominently, by force of circumstances the pair came with a run from last place.

“I had planned to take up a position just behind the leaders,” explains Pecheur.

“However, they were going too fast for me and so I had to wait in last place.

“As we came into the home bend I could

feel that he was going to accelerate and my plan was to hope to find a way through the field.

“It was only at the last moment I changed my mind and decided to switch wide instead and that we would come down the middle of the track on our own.”

M

eanwhile, Enjoy Vijay and Andreas Starke, the winner of six Deutsches Derbys, had quickened into a clear lead on the far side of the track. Windstoss made ground all the way up the straight, but he only got his head in front of the son of Nathaniel in the final 20 yards to win by a length.

“It was always my ambition to win the Derby at least once in my life,” says Dorff.

“Now we have won both the Oaks and the Derby, I think the next target is to win a Group race outside Germany with Markus as the trainer.

“Markus is a fantastic trainer. He knows how good his own horses are and also knows the ability of other people’s and so he places his horses brilliantly.

“And his good ones seem to last and keep repeating their best performances.

“From our last two crops of three-year-olds

we have had 26 Group places from only 39 foals, including Windstoss and Well Spoken, who is a leading contender for the Diana in August.”

Röttgen has a draft of nine for this year’s Baden-Baden September Sale, including seven by its young stallion the Prix du Jockey Club winner Reliable Man. The Reliable Man’s include half-brothers to Windstoss and this year’s Listed winner Walsingham.

“We have stood Reliable Man for four years now,” says Dorff, “and I have always liked his stock who are athletic and consistently attractive.

“Markus likes them too and has several who will be ready to run over the coming weeks.”

In 2017, Röttgen welcomed a new stallion Protectionist, one of Monsun’s best sons as a dual Group 1 winner and a spectacular winner of the Melbourne Cup. The Röttgen mares in-foal to Protectionist include Wellenspiel, her stakes-winning full-sister Weichsel, and Wild Side, all giving in-breeding to Konigsstuhl, as well as Zaynaat.

Röttgen’s success on the track has strengthened its broodmare band. Of the 27 mares covered in 2017, 21 are already blacktype winners or producers and the current stakes fillies Kasalla, Alicante, Attica and Well Spoken will join the broodmare band in due course.

Dorff is in no hurry to decide upon Windstoss’s future.

“The plan is to try to win a Group 1 against older horses this year,”he explains, “and then we will keep Windstoss in training with a view to racing abroad.

“It would be great to have Windstoss as a stallion here, but let’s wait and see what he achieves as a racehorse first.”

Whatever happens to Windstoss in the future his Derby victory will always be an important part of the first 90 years of the Gestüt Röttgen story.

A

ll eyes were on the handsome bay colt Le Brivido in the first race of the second day of Royal Ascot.

André Fabre’s horses always create a stir when they travel across the Channel, but the obvious despair of young jockey Pierre-Charles Boudot when the son of Siyouni was beaten the shortest of heads in the Group 1 Poule d’Essai des Poulains

by Brametot the previous month, meant the pair were on a mission.

Le Brivido must have a

liking for drama as he only won the Group 3 Jersey Stakes by a neck, but that was enough for wonderful scenes of celebration from all who have been involved with the horse story from the beginning.

Bravo!

le brivido The overflowing joy and emotion from Mick Murphy and Sarah O’Connell, whose Tipperary-based Longways Stables consigned the colt at the Arqana Breeze Up Sales, was clear evidence of just how much a success at this level means to those involved.

“It was a very exciting day for both of us and we were just so proud of his performance,” explained ex-jump jockey Murphy.

“It made it all the more special as Sarah, and Katie McGivern, who was also involved in the horse with us, were there to enjoy it with me.

“The French Guineas weekend was an emotional rollercoaster for us. We had a great sale at the Breeze Ups again, but then Sarah had to miss Le Brivido’s race to return home as our son was sick.

and I have had a lot of success pinhooking his progeny.

“Le Brivido didn’t have a huge amount of pedigree, like a lot of Siyouni’s early crops, but he was

a lovely individual with a good walk and well balanced.

“He was always very straightforward to deal with and the good temperament that is typical of his sire.

“He was very popular at the sale having breezed well and I did recommend him to a few people.

“He is the first stallion prospect we have sold so the idea of having some of his progeny in the future is exciting.”

The name Longways comes from the popular song “It’s a long way to Tipperary” and the farm has been in operation for 17 years.

“We do some pinhooking ourselves and consign around 25 two-year-olds and ten yearlings each year, as well as breaking and pre-training horses for people like Willie Mullins and JP McManus,” adds Murphy.

“We also have some point-topointers and broodmares on the farm. We do a bit of everything!

CONSIDERING YOUR CONSIGNOR? Ted Voute bought Le Brivido with a long term aim of transferring him to run in Saudi Arabia: the horse has got a new agenda ahead now

“We are both looking forward to seeing him run in the Group 1 Prix Jacques le Marois in the hope he will get the Group 1 success he deserves. There is talk of him running in the Breeders’ Cup later in the year and if he does, then Longways will be on the plane!”

Ted Voute was also a very happy man at Royal Ascot that Wednesday afternoon as he is responsible for purchasing and managing Le Brivido on behalf of his client Prince Faisal Bin Khaled.

“Prince Faisal has around 250 horses in training in Saudi Arabia and we have been sourcing horses in Europe for quite a few years with the aim of winning the King’s Cup in Riyadh.

“It was getting progressively more expensive to buy suitable horses in training so we made the decision a few years ago to start purchasing yearlings and two-year-olds and preparing them in Europe before exportation to Saudi Arabia.

“We bought two horses from Longways at the Arqana Breeze Ups in 2016, one of which was Le Brivido... the rest is history.

“I think he was slightly green in the Poule d”Essai des Poulains as he never really had to battle in his races previously.

“We dropped him back to 7f in the Jersey Stakes on André’s [Fabre] suggestion. It is a very special race for me as I sold past winners Aqlaam as a foal and Mozart as a yearling.

“The plan is to go for the Prix Jacques le Marois in Deauville now as going back to a mile will suit him and the French premiums add a huge amount to the already generous prize money.

“We have discussed going to the Breeders’ Cup, but André feels it is a difficult task for a three-year-old against older horses.

Marie-Laure Collet of the west French-based Haras de Clairefontaine

People often think good French horses are only bred in Normandy so it is always nice to prove them wrong, especially for a small breeder as a stallion prospect, and he could possibly race on next year.

“Prince Faisal previously had horses in the UK right at the beginning and the success of Le Brivido means he would now like to increase the number he has in training in Europe.”

I

t is always nice to see big race successes for the small breeders or newcomers to our sport and Le Brivido provided a combination of the two for Jean Bugada and Brigitte Bugada.

“Talk about beginner’s luck!” joked Marie-Laure Collet, who runs Haras de Clairefontaine, found near Le Mans in the west of France, where Le Brivido was born and raised.

“He was the second foal out of the very first mare the Bugadas ever bought!

“They are good friends of Jean Charles Coudé, a mutual acquaintance of ours, who has been breeding for decades.

“He encouraged them to buy La Bugatty, a Dr Fong mare who finished fourth on her only start.

“She came to us in-foal to Le Havre, and then he advised them to send her to Siyouni the following year which resulted in Le Brivido.

“It was their choice to sell the colt as a yearling, as they were only new to breeding and didn’t wish to keep him to race, so we consigned him on their behalf at the Arqana October Yearling Sales.

“He was a good-looking yearling with a typical Siyouni head. He probably didn’t appeal to everybody, as he didn’t look like a two-year-old, but he walked well.

“We obviously did not expect him to have this level of success,

Le Brivido: connections are hoping he can step up in class again and become the second Group1 winner for sire Siyouni

but that is the mystery of breeding!

“The mare was sold in-foal to Mayson after she had produced three foals. She is at a stud not far from here and there have been a lot of people calling me about her now because of Le Brivido, but so far they have turned down all offers to buy her.

“People often think good French horses are only bred in Normandy so it is always nice to prove them wrong, especially

for a small breeder.

“The stud has been operational for nine years and in the past five years we’ve produced Silverwave and Le Brivido, so I think we are holding our own against the big guns!”

As is often the case in breeding and racing, there are many different parties invested in the possible future success of Le Brivido and, one thing is for sure, they will all be cheering him home in Deauville in August.

Off to a flyer In his first crop, Dabirsim, a talented two-year-old himself, has hit the heights with a Royal Ascot juvenile Group 3 winner.

D

abirsim has started off at stud in the same way as he began his own racing career – with a bang.

Back in June 2011, the son of Hat Trick made his debut at La Teste for owner Simon Springer and trainer Christophe Ferland in a 6f maiden, and won by 10l.

Dabirsim finished his juvenile season as the unbeaten winner of five races, victories

which included the Group 1 Prix Morny, Group 1 Prix Jean Luc Lagardère and Group 3 Prix de Cabourg and was joint European champion two-year-old.

By mid-July this year Dabirsim was already the leading first-season sire in Europe, and comfortably the leading sire of two-year-olds in France.

A promising first-season sire in France with six winners by mid-July Dabirsim did, of course, become of wider European interest

when his daughter Different League won the Group 3 Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot for owner Theresa Marnane and trainer Matthieu Paulissiere to take her unbeaten run to three.

Other Dabirsims to impress in France include the Criquette Head-trained filly High Dream Milena, an easy winner over 6f on her debut in Chantilly, and the Mario Hofer-trained colt Frizzanto, who made a winning debut at Saint-Cloud.

Dabirsim has stood at Eric L’Hermite’s Haras de Grandcamp since 2016 after spending his first two seasons at stud in Germany at Gestüt Karlshof.

The Dabirsim story actually began at Grandcamp as he was presented by the stud at the 2010 Arqana August Sale on behalf of his breeder Michel Monfort and sold to

At the mid-July point, with Different League on Dabirsim’s scoreboard, were another five winners, including Cead Mile Failte. She was bred by Grandcamp, and like Different League, is now owned by Theresa Marnane, husband Con (below, left) and trained by Matthieu Palussiere (centre)

Royal Ascot-winning hugs for Different League: ambitious targets have been discussed, which, if they come off, will take Dabirsim’s arc even higher

Simon Springer for €30,000, one of seven yearlings Springer purchased at the sale.

Springer has held a bookmaking licence in Germany for more than 40 years and his company IBA Entertainment is the owner of Bet3000, a Malta-based internet site which is a leading sports betting site in Germany.

The majority of Springer’s horses were sent to be trained by Christophe Ferland at La Teste. The group included several useful horses such as the Listed performers Glowing Cloud and Orcus, but Dabirsim was different from the word go.

Impressive from the start

“As soon as he arrived in the stable,” Ferland remembers, “it was obvious he had a lot of quality. You couldn’t be sure immediately that he was going to be precocious, but from the word go Dabirsim showed he had great ability and a fantastic turn of foot.”

His turn of foot was obvious from the start and after two easy wins on his home track in the west of France, Dabirsim went to Deauville where he won the two Group races

over 6f without being extended.

He came from behind to win the Prix de Cabourg comfortably and, then despite being a little free in the early part of the Group 1 Prix Morny, he quickened away from his rivals in the final furlong to win easily by 3l.

It was at Longchamp in the 7f Prix Jean Luc Lagardère that Dabirsim revealed the full extent of his ability and turn of foot when ridden by Frankie Dettori.

The Italian-trained runner Salure set off in front at 100mph and the other jockeys were all caught out when the Bruno Grizettitrained colt reached the 2f pole some 8l clear and showing no signs of tiring.

Dettori had succeeded in settling Dabirsim perfectly, but with 2f to run he found himself caught on the rails some 6l behind the second and more like 15 behind the leader. Dettori found a gap on the rail and Dabirsim took off, flying past the whole field in little more than a furlong to win by three-quarters of a length.

“The horse is a complete superstar,” Dettori said after the race. “He picked up like a champion.”

It was obviously not the plan to give his rivals a 10l start and only get going with 150m to run but, as Ferland says, “with a horse like Dabirsim there is no need for tactics.”

“He was,” Ferland adds, “the horse of a lifetime and I shall be lucky to see another one like him in my stable.

“He was always calm and easy to deal with and he just had an exceptional turn of foot.”

Springer currently has some 35 horses in training in France, including several of Dabirsim’s progeny and Ferland is still Springer’s principle trainer.

“My impression,” Ferland says, “is that Dabirsim doesn’t stamp his progeny as some sires do, but they are good-looking horses and if they have something in common is that like him they have a turn of foot.”

Dabirsim ran only twice at three and was not seen again after disappointing in the Poule d’Essai des Poulains retiring to Karlshof for the 2013 breeding season.

In Germany, Dabirsim was very popular covering as many as 240 mares in his first two seasons with around half of these travelling from France.

HALO

SUNDAY SILENCE

WISHING WELL LOST CODE

HAT TRICK TRICKY CODE

DAM CLEVER

DABIRSIM NIJINSKY

ROYAL ACADEMY

RUMOURED BRIGHT GENERATION

He was obviously a very gifted two-yearold and if the horses he raced against did not train on to be champions, it was the style of Dabirsim’s victories which created an impression.

He also has a pedigree of great interest as the one of the few Group 1-winning colts in Europe from the Sunday Silence line, and with no Danehill or Sadler’s Wells at all.

His dam Rumoured was bought by his breeder for only $60,000 carrying Dabirsim, and the Royal Academy mare comes from a family of excellent two-year-olds as her third dam Madina won the Prix Morny (G1) and her dam Bright Generation won her first two starts for trainer Paul Cole by wide margins before finishing second to Sayyedati in the Group 1 Moyglare Stakes in 1992.

In 2016, Dabirsim returned to France to stand his third season at Grandcamp.

“I keep mares for Mr Springer and we decided that he was so popular with French breeders it made sense for him to stand here,” explains L’Hermite.

“He covered 160 mares in 2016, his third season, and by the time he has finished

Dabirism is a calm horse with good mentality, and he is very fertile.

He is good-looking and is best suited to average-sized mares

CRIMSON SAINT RAINBOW QUEST NEW GENERATION

Dabirsim will have covered in excess of 160 mares again this year.”

Like trainer Ferland, L’Hermite says Dabirsim is an easy horse to handle.

“He is a calm horse with good mentality, and he is very fertile. He is good looking and is best suited to average sized mares as his colts are sometimes big and strong.”

As is usual in the circumstances there are plenty of rumours going around bloodstock circles concerning Dabirsim’s future, but L’Hermite says for the time being there is no reason why he should not remain at Grandcamp.

“Dabirsim is not for sale,” L’Hermite says, “and Mr. Springer is not planning to syndicate the horse or sell shares in him. We shall wait and see what happens in the Morny and other important races and decide later in the year his fee for 2018.”

For the time being Dabirsim’s progeny are going to be sought after at this year’s sales starting with the 15 in the catalogue for the two Araqana sales in August.

For Springer he has already turned out to have been an exceptional investment with some €800,000 in earnings and nearly 600 mares covered at €9,000, so far.

Montfort is another who has done well from Dabirsim’s success and he is offering a Frankel half-brother to Dabirsim, bred in partnership with Al Shaqab, through Haras de Grandcamp at the Arqana August Sale.

Dabirsim is “not for sale or for syndication”.

His fee throughout his four years at stud has been €9,000; it will undoubtedly be taking an upward turn, but Grandcamp’s Eric L’Hermite and owner Simon Springer will let the summer season run its course before making any decisions on price for 2018

HIGH CLASS ENTRIES FOR GOODWOOD A high class list of entries was published by the Arabian Racing Organisation (ARO) for the Qatar International Stakes (Gr1PA), the first leg of the Doha Triple Crown, to be run as part of the Qatar Goodwood Festival on August 2.

They include several classy four-year-olds in Ebraz, winner of this years' HH Emir's Sword (GR1PA), and Nafees and Ahzar, first and second in the Qatar Derby des Pur-Sang Arabe at Chantilly. Also among the entries are Group winners, Al Mouwaffak, Muraaqib and Tayf as well as Group 1 winning mare, Prada T (right), who has twice finished second in this event.

Initiated two years ago, The Doha Triple Crown's second and third stages are the Qatar Arabian World Cup (Gr1PA), run at

Chantilly in October, and the HH Emir's Sword (Gr1PA) to be run in Doha in February 2018. The series links together three of the most prestigous international racing festivals and also carries a $1million bonus to any horse that can win all three stages.

The overall prize fund for the Qatar International Stakes is ÂŁ400,000 and with ÂŁ200,000 to the winner, the one mile contest has attracted 17 entries at the first closing stage.

Gemma Cobb, ARO Racing Operations Executive said: "The quality of entries has exceeded expectations and includes some exciting young horses just starting to make their mark on the international scene, as well as established champions."

Ulitmate Force and David Turner put in a fine front running performance to win the Royal Cavalry of Oman (0-50) Handicap at Bath, the first of two single races to be held at the track this year under their sponsorship.

A delighted Hammersley said:"He's been working well at home all year and Dave's given him a cracking ride. I'm pleased with the way he stayed on, he wants a bit further and will probably come back here on August 4th for the 0-60 Handicap over an extra three furlongs."

A R A B I A N

ARO Racing Operations Executive, Gemma Cobb commented:" The Royal Cavalry's sponsorship, which they increased in 2016, got off to a successful start this season with six of eight races at Taunton, followed by our longest premier handicap, run over two miles at Doncaster. We always receive a great reception at Bath and we thank them and the racecourse teams at Taunton, Doncaster, Newbury and Windsor for their support of the Royal Cavalry's race sponsorship in 2017."

photo of the month: Fiona Mahony with amateur photo competition winner Pamela O’Rourke, questions answered by pro winner Justin Setterfield On the Friday morning OF THE Tattersalls July Sale, Pamela O’Rourke, winner of the amateur division of our Tattersalls-sponsored photo competition, met with judge Fiona Mahony of Tattersalls.

O’Rourke of Belmont Stud, Ireland was at the sale to look for fillies to take home – Dad having been at the sale earlier in the week and the pair swapping over duties!

O’Rourke will be back at Tattersalls in the autumn, she works the yearling sales for neighbours Tally-Ho Stud.

And we will also be able to follow the progress of the bonny colt in her winning photo – by Dream Ahead, he is due to take up a sale date at the Tattersalls Ireland September Sale.

O’Rourke now has a new camera (her shots for the competition were taken on an iphone) and so watch out for work – she has a great eye.

Our pro winner, Justin Setterfield, could not make it to Tattersalls for July week – he was otherwise engaged working at Wimbledon!

We sent a few questions to Justin about working as a sports photographer and he was good enough to send over some answers.

I could. I ended up photographing the Paralympics as a secondee with Getty Images.

Must be great working for a big company .

For me working at Getty is the pinnacle for a sports photographer. I am fortunate enough to look at content from the best sports’ photographers in the world. The skill, passion, determination of the team there is incredible.

I’ve learnt so much from just seeing the Getty staff sports photographers’ images that it’s allowed me to ingest some of what they have done and try to bring it to my own work.

Essentially I feel I have just copied what they do (!) so for that I am incredibly grateful.

Working at Getty has given me belief and instilled a determination and focus that I need to produce the best pictures I can from every situation.

Any tips and advice? What do you prioritise when framing a shot?

How did you get interested in photography?

My initial interest in photography came from looking at sports images in newspapers when I was in my early teens.

This led me to taking a course in photography at college and then continuing on to study photography at university. I’ve always been intrigued by newspapers and always had the dream of working for a newspaper.

What is your working background – how come you got to work for Getty? Why sports photography?

Sports have always been my passion.

I played every sport going when I was kid but didn’t make it to a level I hoped, so sports photography was probably the next best thing to actually being a sportsman!

Getting into photography professionally for me was, and is, very difficult. I do not come from background meaning I could afford to buy the best equipment, especially the equipment needed to be a sports’ photographer.

I moved to London from Dorset after studying photography at university on two weeks’ work experience with a photo agency making tea and looking after the post room.

After this period I was offered a job doing

picture research and keyboarding.

My lucky break came when I was fortunate enough to get a job working with the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games as a photography co-ordinator.

I was with the communications team looking after press photographers and shooting in house PR events and documenting various events for the build up to London 2012.

Although this wasn’t my passion it did mean I could access lots of sports events in the build-up to the games to learn the craft of sports’ photography, make lots of mistakes and build a small portfolio.

I always had in my mind that if worked hard in my own time to get a folio together perhaps I could follow my dream of becoming a sports photographer after the games.

As I was working full-time with LOCOG, and Getty Images was the official photographer for the International Olympic Committee, I began to make contacts where

In sports photography we are looking at light and background. We are always looking for the best light and the cleanest background.

Then a mixture of planning and good luck to hope the action unfolds right in the spot!

If I could give any advice I would say you are better sitting in one spot for an hour if you have a nice background and good light to get one image, than shooting a 1,000 images where the background is messy and the light isn’t good.

What kit do you use / recommend?

I use Nikon equipment, but I would advise young people not to get too caught up in equipment.

Use the best kit you can, but it’s more important to think about composition, light and exposure. Good photographers can take good pictures with any kit.

Any special moments you’ve enjoyed?

I shot the little known sport of Ice Speedway on a small track in the Netherlands last year.

The arena was old and had a roof that came over the track, but was open air in the middle.

The morning sunlight was just creeping into the first bend for about 30 minutes which illuminated the riders, gave a nice black background and picked up the ice kicking up from the spiked tyres.

It’s nice when you get an image that hasn’t been shot too much and everything comes together for a split second.

I think it also shows you don’t have to be at the biggest events to get a great sports image.
