Geoff Turnbull
Geoff Turnbull, Elwick Stud: 1946-2020
A
LOVE THAT began with the pit ponies his father tended took Geoff Turnbull MBE, the late founder of GT Engineering, around the world, from a north-eastern mining village all the way to the Breeders’ Cup and Royal Ascot and then back home, where he built Elwick Stud around stallion Mondialiste, whose first yearlings will come under the hammer in the autumn. A singular man who began his career at the age of 15 as an apprentice toolmaker in the engineering division of Castrol Oil in Hartlepool, Turnbull went on to establish GT Group, a global firm involved in a diverse range of engineering activities based at Peterlee, Durham. From 1983 he developed the engineering business into a world leader designing engineering solutions to combat emissions from diesel engines with a customer list of household names such as Volvo, JCB, Daimler, Scania and John Deere. GT Group developed into five businesses designing and manufacturing products, that include the emissions reduction systems for engines and industry, as well as coupling systems for transferring hazardous liquids, oils and gases. He was awarded an MBE for services to the UK’s export industry in 1991 and asked by then Prime Minister John Major to join the Advisory Committee on Business and Environment, which shaped the direction of GT Group in developing greener technology and environmental engineering solutions. In 2015, Turnbull was named in The Manufacturer Top 100 report as one of the most inspirational individuals within UK manufacturing. Turnbull’s loyalty to his home in the north-east and his belief that it had the people and facilities required for building a global business was the driving force behind GT Group’s development into a world-leading industry from its base in Durham, where it employed more than 250 people. It was purchased by the German firm Knorr-Bremse in June 2016 and its founder retired from the company to focus his energies on Elwick Stud. That loyalty also ensured that when it came to the stud career of his Grade 1 Arlington Million and Woodbine Mile winner Mondialiste there was only ever going to be one place where the son of Galileo would stand. Turnbull invested heavily in developing the land around Elwick Hall into a stallion station fit for his king. He bought the son of Galileo, who is a three-parts brother to Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club winner and sire Intello from one of the best Wertheimer families, as a four-year-old at the Arqana Summer Sale of 2014. Mondialiste was brought home to Elwick and tended to by Turnbull until sent into training with David O’Meara.
Geoff Turnbull with his wife Sandra, and, below, the bespoke stallion yard at Elwick Stud designed by Turnbull to accommodate his pride and joy, Mondialiste
Initially thought of as an Ebor prospect, Turnbull’s dreams of racing glory were of the north’s most famous races, but Mondialiste took the couple and their family on a journey around the world and brought the industrialist immense joy In an interview with International Thoroughbred last autumn, his son Nick said: “The journey began with buying Mondialiste and it all centred around him. The travelling with him was incredible, my parents loved it and they got to do things through him they never would have if it wasn’t for Mondialiste.” Turnbull bought Sheraton Farm, two miles from his home, and transformed it from an arable enterprise into a state of the art stud farm. It is home now to Elwick Stud and its band of broodmares, with their Mondialiste yearlings and foals. The navy and pink silks of Geoff and his wife Sandra, which were carried with distinction by Mondialiste and Lord Glitters, whose greatest triumph came in the Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes, were first carried by La Sylphide in 1999. Known as Tinsel, the mare was bought as a 1998 Christmas present by Geoff for his wife, whom he met when he moved to the design department at Castrol Oil, where she was a trainee tracer. La Sylphide won seven races and was placed in 13 more, including the Listed Severals Stakes, and, completing the circle that began with her purchase as a yearling, her daughter Lady Chaparral was amongst the Elwick Stud mares who were sent to Mondialiste in his first season. She has a yearling colt whose DNA combines the cornerstones on which Elwick Stud is founded. The next step in the project would have seen Turnbull at the yearling sales, buying and selling Mondialiste’s offspring before racing them next season, but sadly that joy was not realised for him after his death from a short illness on July 23 at the age of 74. Geoff Turnbull is survived by his wife Sandra, sister Edith, children Jacqueline, Darren, Nick and Catherine and his beloved grandchildren. He was buried on Saturday, August 1 after a private service at St Peter’s Chuch in Elwick and a memorial fund in his memory has been established to support the Injured Jockeys Fund. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/geoff-turnbull.

A
CCLAMATION is responsible for a sire line that is highly sought after and holds enormous commercial appeal. In Aclaim, a Group 1 winner over 7f and from a top-class family, The National Stud has a representative who combines class, speed and performance. A winner over 6f on his only start at two, Aclaim developed into a classy performer as a three-year-old over 6f and 7f. He was successful in the Group 2 Challenge Stakes that year, but better was to come at four when he won the Group 2 Park Stakes and ended his career triumphantly with victory in the Group 1 Prix de la Forêt. Aclaim began his stud career at an advertised fee of £12,500 and his first crop of foals averaged over twice that when offered for sale last winter. His average was 24,243gns for 38 foals sold (including vendor buy-backs) and the top price achieved was €120,000 (£107,609) for Ballintry Stud’s colt out of an unraced grand-daughter of Shadayid. Amongst his first crop is the second foal out of the Australian Listed winner La Pieta, a Redoute’s Choice daughter of multiple Australian Group 1 winner Divine Madonna. He also has a filly out of Linet, a winning full-sister to the Group 3 Jersey Stakes winner and Group 1-placed Rainfall. Another daughter with a pedigree full of speed and promise is his filly out of Loch Mirage, an unraced grand-daughter of the brilliant Loch Song. His maternal family is top-class – Aclaim is the first foal out of the Listed-placed Aris, a Danroad three-quarters sister to Group 1 Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Again by Danehill Dancer. They are out of Cumbres, an unraced Khayasi half-sister to the brilliant Montjeu, and to the second dam of Goldream, winner of the Prix de l’Abbaye (G1). It is also the family of 2,000 Guineas and St James’s Palace Stakes winner, and Aclaim’s fellow first-season sire, Galileo Gold.

Al Wukair
T
HIS is an important year for Al Shaqab Racing and Haras de Bouquetot – on the track there is the first crop of champion twoyear-old Shalaa, while in the sales ring the first crops of Al Wukair, Brametot, Ectot and Zelzal are coming under the hammer at Europe’s yearling sales with the first foals by Mekhtaal to follow in the winter. A good-looking son of multiple Group 1 winner Dream Ahead, Al Wukair brought a winning bid of 200,000gns from Nicolas de Watrigant’s Mandore International for Al Shaqab Racing. Two runs as a two-year-old produced two wins for Al Wukair, including the Listed Prix Isonomy over a mile at Deauville.
He began his three-year-old season defeating the Group 1 winner National Defense in the Group 3 Prix Djebel over 7f, and then was only a length and neck behind Churchill and Barney Roy in the 2,000 Guineas. A second place in the Prix Messidor followed before his breakthrough success at Group 1 level came in the Prix Jacques le Marois. Al Wukair raced just once more in the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes before retiring to Haras de Boquetot for the 2018 breeding season. Sire Dream Ahead’s stallion career has blossomed recently and in 2017 moved to stand at Haras de Grandcamp, the year Al Wukair.

AL WUKAIR 2014 Dream Ahead-Macheera (Machiavellian) Haras de Bouquetot
FACT PACK
2018 €8,000 | 2019 €8,000 | 2020 €7,000 Last year Donjuan Triumphant and Glass Slippers became Group 1-winning sprinters for Dream Ahead, while Dream Of Dreams and Forever In Dreams were both placed in Group 1 sprints at Royal Ascot, with Forever In Dreams following up her Commonwealth Cup second with third place behind Donjuan Triumphant in the British Champions’ Sprint (G1). Al Wukair is a full-brother to the Group 3 Autumn Stakes second Dream Today and a half-brother to Witches Brew, a Listed-placed daughter of Duke Of Marmalade, who is the dam of Group 3 Prestige Stakes winner Antonia De Vega. Their dam Macheera was successful at two and is a daughter of the Prix de Diane (G1) winner Caerlina. Macheera is also a half-sister to the Classic-placed La Nuite Rose and to Star Mie by A.P. Indy, who is a successful broodmare in Japan where her offspring include the Group 2 winner and Group 1-placed Curren Mirotic and the Group 3 winner and Group 1-placed Hikaru Amaranthas. Al Wukair shares his broodmare sire Machiavellian with the top-class stallions Shamardal, Dark Angel and Zoffany. Amongst the 116 mares that Al Wukair covered in 2018 was Al Thakhira (Dubawi), winner of the Group 2 Rockfel Stakes, and from the family of 2019 Group 1 Commonwealth Cup winner Ten Sovereigns – she has a yearling filly by Al Wukair. Of his first crop, a dozen foals were offered for sale last year at Arqana’s December Breeding Stock Sale and Goffs November Foal Sale. The highest price achieved was €70,000 at Arqana for a colt out of Felcine, a Listed and Group 3-placed daughter of Duke Of Marmalade. The colt was consigned by Haras de Bourgeauville and purchased by Alain Decrion. Also sold at Arqana in December was the most expensive filly foal from his first crop, that title going to Haras de Castillon’s foal out of Pacific Queen, a Sunday Break half-sister to the dam of Al Shaqab’s Poule d’Essai des Poulains (G1) winner Style Vendome. She was bought by pin-hooking team Fairway Partners for €40,000 and is likely to be amongst Al Wukair’s progeny in the yearling sales.

Almanzor
H
ARAS D’ETREHAM is currently assembling a stallion dynasty in the stunning Normandy countryside and in 2018 Europe’s highestrated horse of 2016, Almanzor, joined his highly progressive sire Wootton Bassett. Born and raised at the de Chambure family’s stud, Almanzor scaled the heights on the racecourse and elevated his sire, the Group 1 Prix Jean Luc Lagardère winner Wootton Bassett, into the European stallion elite. Victories in the Prix du Jockey-Club, the Irish Champion Stakes and the Champion Stakes saw Almanzor crowned the Cartier champion three-year-old colt with his 1m2f prowess assuring him of a large book of mares when he retired to stud. Before his championship season Almanzor, who was a €100,000 yearling purchase by his trainer Jean-Claude Rouget at Arqana’s August Yearling Sale, won three times as a two-year-old, showing plenty of ability at an early age. From the first crop of Wootton Bassett, a son of Iffraaj, Almanzor hails from a top-class Aga Khan line. He is out of the Maria’s Mon mare Darkova, an unraced daughter of the Listed winner Darkara. She is a Halling half-sister to the dam of European champion Darjina, whose five success included victories in the Poules d’Essai des Pouliches, Prix du Moulin and Prix d’Astarté, all Group 1 contests. Almanzor covered 140 mares in his first season and with Northern Dancer himself not appearing until the fourth generation of Almanzor’s page, the young sire is suitable for a wide variety of mares. He was supported by some of the most famous breeders in the world with HH The Aga Khan sending mares to Almanzor, as well as the likes of Skymarc Farm, the de Chambure family, SF Bloodstock and China Horse Club. As befits a stallion of his stature he has covered 40 Group 1 performers
and the dams of Group 1 performers, amongst them Unaided, the dam of Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Mile, the First Lady Stakes and the Matriarch Stakes winner Uni. She foaled a half-brother to Uni last year. From the Etreham broodmare band Elodie, a full-sister to the Group 1 winners We Are and With You and a half-sister to Group 1 winner Call The Wind, has an Almanzor yearling daughter, while Glittering Tax foaled a half-brother to three-times Grade 1 winner Miss Temple City. A total of 16 members of Almanzor’s first crop came on the market last year with 14 of them selling for an average of €105,132 and, as the median price was scarcely €10,000 less, it demonstrates the market’s appetite for progeny of the young sire. Exactly half of the foals that sold did so for at least €100,000. His top-priced foal sold at Arqana’s December Breeding Stock Sale with Ronald Rauscher going to €260,000 to secure a filly from Haras d’Etreham. One of four six-figure foal sales for Almanzor at Deauville, the January-born foal is the second out of the Listed-placed Montjeu mare Fresh Air, who is a half-sister to the dam of this year’s Irish 2,000 Guineas winner Siskin, and to the dam of the American champion mare Close Hatches. Almanzor had two six-figure results at the Tattersalls December Foal Sale recording a top price of 160,000gns for the first born out of the Group 3-placed Fixette, a daughter of Kodiac from the Moyglare family of Easy To Copy, Trusted Partner and Low Key Affair. Offered by Norelands Stud he was purchased by Haras d’Etreham and SF Bloodstock. Almanzor’s most expensive filly at that sale was Overbury Stud’s daughter of Plume Rose, the dam of three winners and out of an unraced half-sister to Peintre Celebre. She made 125,000gns to Blandford Bloodstock.

A
RDAD was bred to be fast and that is exactly what he turned out to be – a breeze-up sale-topper, a precocious two-year-old and a Royal Ascot winner. The son of Kodiac, who is now the sire of four individual Group 1 winners, was offered at the GoffsUK Breeze Up Sale by his breeder Tally-Ho Stud. With a strong physical resemblance to his sire and a quick breeze he made £170,000 bought by Blandford Bloodstock, making him the most expensive horse sold at the 2016 GoffsUK Breeze Up Sale. That investment by Abdullah Saeed al Naboodah paid quick dividends as Ardad won a 5f Yarmouth maiden on debut in June and followed that with success in the Listed Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot. A step up to 6f didn’t appear to suit him, and when dropped back to 5f for Doncaster’s Group 2 Flying Childers Stakes, Ardad returned to the winners’ enclosure. He was beaten just 4l by Marsha in the Group 1 Prix de l’Abbaye, finishing ahead of his relative Maarek. He failed to find his juvenile spark at three and was retired to Overbury Stud, where breeders were keen to patronise him at a fee of £6,500. He covered 126 mares in his first season with mares, including North East Bay, the dam of Group 1 Dubai World Cup winner Prince Bishop, who delivered an Ardad colt in April last year. Ardad was chosen as the first mating for Group 3 Nell Gwyn Stakes winner and Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac third Dabyah, who was fourth in the 1,000 Guineas and ran in the same colours as Ardad. The daughter of Sepoy gave birth to a filly foal in February 2019. By Kodiac, the king of two-year-old winners, and out of the Red Clubs mare Good Clodora, speed is Ardad’s metier. His second dam is even named Geht Schnell, which means “Go Fast” in German. She is the dam of Ruby Rocket (Indian Rocket), who won the Firth of Clyde Stakes and the Boadicea Stakes, both Listed contests. She is best known as the dam of the Group 1 Prix de l’Abbaye winner Maarek (Pivotal). Geht Schnell is also the dam of Listed winners Inzar’s Best and Alexander Alliance. A total of 31 foals from Ardad’s first crop were sold at auction last year and they were popular with pinhookers. Conceived on an advertised fee of £6,500, the 24 foals made an average of 9,221gns. The most expensive of those sold was a filly out of Lastuce, a daughter of Orpen who was placed in the Listed Kilvington Stakes. Consigned by Overbury Stud on behalf of breeder Jocelyn Targett at the Tattersalls December Foal Sale, she made 52,000gns to Blandford Bloodstock, the highest price achieved on the first day of that sale.

Attendu B
RED by the Wertheimer family, Attendu carried the famous blue and white silks to victory in Group races at two, three and four years of age before retiring to stud at the magnificent Haras du Quesnay. Successful in the Group 3 Prix de la Rochette over 7f at two, he ended that season with a close third place in the Group 1 Criterium International de Saint Cloud. At three he added a second Group success to his resumé winning the 7f Prix de Palais-Royal (G3) at Deauville. Returning to the track as a four-year-old he won the Group 3 Prix Quincey over a mile and was placed in four more Group 3 contests. As a son of Acclamation and out of a mare by the Wertheimer’s champion miler Green Tune, Attendu offers a blend of pace and strong French genes to breeders. His dam Gwenseb won four times at two and three with her biggest success gained in the Group 3 Prix du Bois. She was also third in the Group 2 Prix du Robert Papin.
In addition to Attendu she has produced three further black-type winners, including the Group 2 Prix du Sandringham and Prix Daniel Wildenstein winner Impassible (Invincible Spirit), Spotify (Redoute’s Choice), who won the Group 3 Dubai Millennium Stakes and was fourth in the Poule d’Essai des Poulains (G1), and the Listed winner and Group 3 second Foreign Tune, also by Invincible Spirit. Also on the page is the Group 1 winner and sire Will Dancer, by Green Tune’s sire and the Wertheimer’s champion sire, Green Dancer. Attendu’s first crop of 33 foals includes a filly who sold for €240,000 in utero at the 2018 Arqana December Breeding Stock Sale. Now named Warning Sign, she is out of the Nayef mare Modestie, who is a half-sister to the Group 3 winners Gold Waki and Golden Valentine. More significantly, Modestie’s dam, the Group 3 winner Gold Round, is a Caerleon half-sister to the outstanding Goldikova, the Group 1 winner Galikova, the Group 2 winner and Attendu’s fellow Haras du Quesnay sire Anodin, and the Group 3 winner Gold Sound, who is by Green Tune.

Brametot
S
INCE the Prix du Jockey-Club (G1) was shortened in 2005 three horses have successfully completed the Jockey-Club/Poule d’Essai des Poulains double – Shamardal in 2005, his son Lope De Vega five years later, and in 2017 Brametot joined the pair in that illustrious club. From the first crop of the Aga Khan’s Group 2 Prix Daniel Wildenstein winner Rajsaman (Linamix), Brametot is the outstanding horse from his sire’s progeny to date. He also boasts an impressive pedigree, and one that explains his transfer from Haras du Bouquetot to Getuet Ebbesloh for the 2020 season – his dam Morning Light is a Law Society half-sister to the brilliant racehorse and eminent sire Geran-based sire Monsun. Although Brametot, who was an inexpensive purchase by Sylvain Vidal at the Arqana December Sale, has strong stamina influences in his pedigree, he demonstrated speed and precocity in his racing career, winning over 6f and seven and a half furlongs at two, and earning his first black-type when successful in the Listed Grand Criterium de Bordeaux in his juvenile season. At three, two of his career victories came over a mile – he warmed up for the first of his Classic wins with success in the Group 3 Prix de Fontainebleau before stepping up to 1m2f in the Prix du Jockey-Club
(G1). His only attempt over 1m4f came in the Group 1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe when he finished fifth behind Enable, Cloth Of Stars, Ulysses and Order Of St George. Amongst those he defeated during his career were Group 1 winners Waldgeist, Le Brivido, Rivet, National Defense, Recoletos and Taj Mahal. His first crop has 33 listed foals and he had just two foals offered at public auction last winter, both at Arqana. Sylvain Vidal, who identified Brametot as a foal, purchased a halfsister to French Listed winner and Group 2 Prix Hocquart-placed Orbec, who was also Group 3 and Listed placed in Australia. Consigned by Haras de Montaigu, the February-born filly made €8,000. Brametot’s first book contained a number of well-bred mares including Anew, an Oasis Dream half-sister to Group 2 Prix de Mallerot winner Treat Gently, out of Kid Gloves, an In The Wings half-sister to Juddmonte matriarchs Hasili and Arrive. Also part of Brametot’s first book was La Folie, a Footstepsinthesand mare out of Flames Last, a winning Montjeu three-parts sister to Salsabil and half-sister to Marju. At this year’s Arqana February Sale, Taleman carrying a Brametot half-sibling to Listed Prix Finlande winner and Group 1 Prix Saint-Alary Olendon, made €46,000 to Peter and Ross Doyle.

HE LOSS of Scat Daddy at an early age created so many “what might have beens” with Justify’s historic Triple Crown the zenith of Scat Daddy’s progeny achievements on the track. In the breeding shed No Nay Never may not have been anointed the chosen one when he first retired, but his coronation as champion first-season sire and the emergence of the Group 1 winner and sire Ten Sovereigns, means he has earned his position as heir to Scat Daddy. His achievements have ensured higher expectations for the first crop of his Coolmore stud mate and paternal half-brother Caravaggio who, like No Nay Never, won a Group race at Royal Ascot, the Group 2
Coventry Stakes, and went on to win the Group 1 6f Phoenix Stakes. Caravaggio added the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup to his resume and took the 5f Flying Five Stakes the year prior to its upgrade to a Group 1. Caravaggio has the looks of a horse from a work of art. He is out of Mekko Hokte, a winner at two and three and Holy Bull, aHorse of the Year and from whom Caravaggio inherited his grey colouring. As a broodmare sire Holy Bull, whose Grade 1 winners included Kentucky Derby winner Giacomo and champion Macho Uno, has excelled with his daughters producing the likes of Judy The Beauty and Cairo Prince, as well as Coolmore America stallion Munnings, who is the

Churchill T
www.coolmore.com/farms/ireland/stallions/churchill
HE beautifully-bred Churchill achieved a feat beyond most stallions in their second season at stud – he increased the size of his book from his first season. He was one of the ten busiest stallions in Europe in 2019, covering 214 mares at Coolmore’s Fethard headquarters. Of the exclusively Flat-marketed stallions only Sioux Nation, Kingman, Australia, Zoffany, Dandy Man and Kodiac covered more mares than the dual Guineas winner in 2019. That fact alone would indicate the calibre of his first crop of foals, and breeders’ views were backed up at the European foal sales where 15 foals to come under the hammer for an average of 92,011gns. His covering fee in 2018 was €35,000 and he achieved a top price of 220,000gns for Norman Court Stud’s half-brother to the Group 2 winner Nancy From Nairobi, bought by Peter and Ross Doyle and Baroda Stud
at the Tattersalls December Foal Sale. Winner of four Group 1 contests at two and three, Churchill has some outstanding prospects on pedigree in his first crop of yearlings. Amongst the 190 mares he covered in 2018 are Trevor Stewart’s brilliant producer Cassandra Go, dam of triple Group 1 winner Halfway To Heaven and second dam of Group 1 winners Magical, Rhododendron and Photo Call. She has a yearling colt by the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes winner. Another to have a yearling colt by Churchill is Danetime Out, dam of the Group 1 winner Toormore, and Group 2 winner and first-season sire Estidhkaar. The Group 1 winner Grey Lilas also has a yearling colt by Churchill, and he is a three-parts brother to the three-time Group 1 winner Golden Lilac (Galileo).

Cotai Glory C
OTAI GLORY displayed all the attributes of his sire Exceed And Excel in a racing career that endured over four seasons and 30 starts, often in the highest class. A true sprinter who excelled over 5f, Cotai Glory won the Group 3 Molecomb Stakes on his fifth start for trainer Charlie Hills, doing it the hard way from the front. At three he beat Kingsgate Native to win the Listed Scarbrough Stakes, but it was at four when Cotai Glory really came into his own. He ran Profitable to a neck when second in the Group 1 King’s Stand Stakes, finishing ahead of Mecca’s Angel, Move In Time and Jungle Cat. He was a close fourth in the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes behind Marsha, Limato and Take Cover, finishing ahead of Profitable, Goldream, Sole Power and Brando. He added a second Group 3 success when winning the 5f World Trophy by a head from subsequent Group 1 winner Alpha Delphini. His fourth season was his busiest with ten of his lifetime starts coming when he was five years old demonstrating his soundness,

mentality and durability. He again was placed in the Nunthorpe this time third behind Marsha and Lady Aurelia, beating Battaash into fourth with Profitable, Alpha Delphini and Goldream further behind. He was also second in the Grade 2 Nearctic Stakes over 6f at Woodbine and was second to Take Cover in Newbury’s World Trophy. As a sire Exceed And Excel’s achievements in two hemispheres are remarkable and his northern-hemisphere sons are developing his line. His multiple Group 1 winner Excelebration begot Barney Roy, a tough and talented Group 1 winner, while Bungle Inthejungle, whose oldest runners are just four, has sired a Group winner in each of his first two crops.

C
OUNTERATTACK was a left-field recruit to the German stallion ranks as a sprinting son of Redoute’s Choice, but he offers German breeders an injection of pace and variety of bloodlines. Bred on the same Redoute’s Choice-Snippets cross as leading Autralian stallion Snitzel, Counterattack is a half-brother to multiple Group 1 winner Red Tracer and the Grade 1 James Boag Handicap winner Shellscrape. Counterattack didn’t manage to win a Group 1 during his racing career, but finished a close second in the Group 1 James Boags Premium Doomben 10000 and was successful in the Group 3 Fred Best Classic over 7f. His sire Redoute’s Choice shuttled to the Aga Khan’s Haras de Bonneval for the 2013 and 2014 northern-hemisphere breeding seasons, while Redoute’s Choice’s son Elzaam is a popular and reliable source of winners at Ballyhane Stud. As an outcross for the Monsun and In The Wings line stallions that dominate German breeding, Counterattack received strong support both from Gestuet Karlshof and other leading farms. One of the final winners by the great sire Redoute’s Choice came from a collaboration between the Aga Khan’s farms and Arrowfield Stud, and resulted in the brilliant five-time Group 1 winner The Autumn Sun, who is standing his second season at Arrowfield. He is out of the Galileo mare Azmiyna, which bodes well for the In The Wings line mares in Counterattack’s books. The stallion’s first book of mares included Aamaa, a Mamool halfsister to Group 3 winner Ashantee, the dam of Group 2 winner Ashiana. Sexy Hollow, a daughter of Soldier Hollow out of Listed winner Saldennahe, a half-sister to the dam of Preis der Diana (G1) winner Serienholde and Group 3 winner Serienhoehe, was another to visit Counterattack in his first German season. Okra, the winning daughter of Zamindar and Listed winner and the Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac and Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes-placed La Vida Loca, from the family of Group 1 winner and sire Recoletos, was

Decorated Knight
www.irishnationalstud.ie/stallion/decorated-knight/
A
TOUGH and tenacious performer who only improved with age, Decorated Knight comes from a stallion-making family – he is a son of Pearling, a Storm Cat full-sister to Giant’s Causeway and to Group 2 Cherry Hinton winner You’resothrilling, dam of one of 2019’s leading first-season sires Gleneagles. Decorated Knight is one of three Group 1 winners and five Group 1 performers so far produced by her, all of them by Galileo. As well as sharing his maternal family with Gleneagles, Decorated Knight shares his sire with him meaning that the blood that pumps through his veins is remarkably similar to that of Gleneagles, although their racing careers took different trajectories. Second over a mile on his only start at two, Decorated Knight was purchased in-utero by Tony Nerses on behalf of Blue Diamond Stud at the 2011 Tattersalls December Mare Sale. Despite Pearling’s modest track career, as a full-sister to Giant’s Causeway and in-foal to Galileo she cost 1.3m guineas. At three, Decorated Knight won twice over a mile and, at his first try
in Group company, finished second in the Group 2 Joel Stakes. Giant’s Causeway’s stock tend to improve with maturity and further trips than the majority of progeny by Storm Cat’s stallion sons, and Decorated Knight had that in common with his “uncle’s” offspring. As a four-year-old, he won both his first start over 1m2f and his first Group race, the Group 3 Meld Stakes at Leopardstown on Irish Champions Weekend. It was as a five-year-old that Decorated Knight realised his potential, and the Winter Derby Trial was used as a the springboard to success in the Group 1 Jebel Hatta at Meydan and the Tattersalls Gold Cup at The Curragh. He then finished second to Highland Reel in Royal Ascot’s Group 1 Prince of Wales’s Stakes and returned to Leopardstown for the track’s show-piece event on Irish Champions Weekend, the Irish Champion Stakes (G1) in which he defeated Group 1 winners Churchill, Poet’s Word, The Grey Gatsby and Zhukhova. As Galileo closes in on 20 sons at stud who have sired Group 1

winners, Decorated Knight’s credentials as a future sire are wellestablished. Giant’s Causeway is the sire of more than 30 individual Grade 1 winners, was North America’s champion sire on three occasions and its leading broodmare sire in 2018. His son Shamardal, from his sire’s only European-bred crop, has created a lasting legacy in Europe, which his son Lope De Vega is poised to carry on. Blue Diamond Stud is backing Decorated Knight to the hilt, and has nine yearlings by him, a mixture of home-breds and sales purchases. The Irish National Stud bred seven mares to him, and other prominent breeders who supported Decorated Knight in his first season included Rabbah Bloodstock, Rathasker Stud, Skymarc Farm and Tinnakill Bloodstock. The triple Group 1 winner covered 62 mares in his first season, a number that increased to 73 in his second season, an encouraging move based on the quality of his first foals. That was reflected in the prices given for the eight which were sold at public auction last year. Decorated Knight achieved an average of 48,095gns, more than four times his covering fee of €15,000, while the median of 24,882gns was double it. The most expensive foal sold by Decorated Knight was a colt out of Group 3 Princess Margaret Stakes winner and Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes second Princess Noor (Holy Roman Emperor). Consigned by Norelands Stud at the Tattersalls December Foal Sale, he was purchased by Jamie Railton for 190,000gns. Hillwood Bloodstock went to €66,000 to secure a colt foal out of Nazli, an Invincible Spirit full-sister to Listed Blenheim Stames winner Lethal Promise, consigned by Whitethorn Bloodstock at the Goffs November Foal Sale. Decorated Knight’s most expensive filly foal was sold, with Blue Diamond Stud spending €50,000 on a daughter of Aniarnota, a Dalakhani half-sister to European champion three-year-old Desert King.

Divine Prophet D IVINE PROPHET combines two of Australia’s most potent sirelines – Danehill and Encosta De Lago, as he is a son of Choisir out of a daughter of Encosta De Lago. Winner of the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas over a mile at three, Divine Prophet was third in the Group 1 Champagne Stakes over the same trip as a two-year-old. He was also placed in the 7f Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes at three. His full-brother Proisir didn’t manage to win a Group 1 on the track – he won the Group 3 Spring Stakes and was second in the Group 1 Randwick Guineas and Spring Champion Stakes – but he is already a Group 1 sire in New Zealand. He stands at Rich Hill Stud and is the sire of three Group 1 performers, including the second and third-placed fillies in the 2020 New Zealand Oaks, a performance that helped him secure the title as leading second-crop sire ahead of Charm Spirit. Divine Prophet shuttled to Tara Stud for the 2018 breeding season where he covered 55 mares. Tullogher House Stud consigned his toppriced foal at the Goffs November Foal Sale, a half-brother to eight winners including the Listed Royal Windsor and Paradise Stakes winner Ocean Tempest, who was also third in the Group 3 Superior Mile. Yeomanstown Stud bought the secondmost expensive Divine Prophet foal in the same sale, a colt out of Ready’s Legend. She is a winning daughter of More Than Ready from an international family that includes Grade 1 winners Dangerous Midge and Scorpion. Divine Prophet’s only northern-hemisphere book so far included Clytha, the dam of 2020’s Grade 1 Frank E Kilroe Mile winner River Boyne, who was bred by Tara Stud. She produced a halfsister to the multiple graded stakes winner. In his native Australia, Divine Prophet’s yearlings were very popular with buyers at the elite sales – his average for the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale was A$205,909 with a top price of A$375,000 for a half-brother to the Group 3-placed La Tigeresa. At the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale, his most expensive offspring was a colt out of a High Chaparral half-sister to Hong Kong Listed winner Planet Ruler, who made A$150,000. His fee for the upcoming breeding season at Aquis Farm’s Hunter Valley base is A$22,000 plus GST. Divine Prophet foal sales: descending price order (gns) Horse

Ectot
I
N A BUSY YEAR for Al Shaqab and Haras de Bouquetot, the first crop of intercontinental Group 1 winner Ectot, the final champion trained by legendary Elie Lellouche, will be eagerly anticipated in the sale ring. On the track Ectot proved himself a top-class competitor and a sound, tough racehorse who won his first Group 1 at the age of two and his last in his fourth season competing. In five runs at two, he was only once beaten and that was into second place on his debut over 7f. He won the Group 3 Prix des Chenes and the Group 1 Criterium International, both races over mile. In three starts at three he was successful twice, winning the Group 2 Prix Niel and the Group 3 Prix de Fontainebleu. Transferred to the barn of Todd Pletcher for his five-year-old season, Ectot mixed it with the best on Turf and beat champion Flintshire to win the Group 1 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Stakes at Belmont. Ectot is a representative of the Montjeu sire line that has provided Group 1 Derby winners Motivator, Authorized, Camelot, Pour Moi and Wings Of Eagles, as well as the Breeders’ Cup Turf winner St Nicholas Abbey and Ectot’s own sire the Irish Derby, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes and Arc (G1) winner Hurricane Run. At stud Montjeu’s sons had been better known in Ireland as NH sires, but on the Flat Camelot is beginning to carve his own legacy as the standard bearer for his sire with five individual Group/Grade 1 winners already including the history-maker Russian Camelot, who became the first northern-hemisphere-born colt to win a Classic in Australia with his victory in the Australian Derby.
Camelot then stepped up to a higher level this summer siring his first-ever Irish Oaks winner with the victory of Ever So. Camelot’s second dam Tarfah is a daughter of Danehill, as is Mahalia, the second dam of Ectot. Mahalia is the dam of the Haras des Granges-based sire Johnny Barnes, winner of the Group 3 Prix Quincey and runner-up in the Group 1 Criterium International, as well as the Group 3 Prix de Flore winner Albisola, a daughter of Montjeu. Ectot’s dam is by Linamix, an influential sire and broodmare sire whose daughters have also produced the likes of Group 1 winner and young sire Muhaarar, as well as top level winners Blue Bunting, Librisa Breeze, Natagora, Valyra, Vazirabad and Ectot’s half-brother, the Group 1 St James’s Palace Stakes winner Most Improved (Lawman). Returning to his native France to begin his stud career in 2017, Ectot was popular with breeders and covered 60 mares in his first season with the likes of Sylvain Vidal, who bought Ectot as a yearling for just €75,000, Haras de Mandore, Paul Nataf and Franklin Finance all sending mares to him that year. Amongst the mares covered by Ectot in 2018 were Keira, the dam of Listed Prix Pelleas winner Aubevoye and a half-sister to the Shutterbug, a multiple Listed winner, Trawangane, a winning grand-daughter of Shy Danceuse, and Group 1 winner Zafeen visited Ectot for her first mating. Normandie Breeding sold a colt by Ectot for €31,000 at Arqana February – he is a half-brother to the 2019 Listed Prix Finlande winner and Group 1 Prix Saint-Alary second Olendon by Le Havre.

El Kabeir O
NE OF THE ATTRIBUTES which made Scat Daddy such a successful sire was his ability to get winners on both Turf and Dirt, despite being a Grade 1 winner only on Dirt. His son El Kabeir was a high-class Dirt horse. He was raced by Zayat Stables and his career overlapped with their Triple Crown hero American Pharoah. At two he won the Grade 2 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes at Churchill Downs over an extended mile on Dirt and finished fourth in the Grade 1 Champagne Stakes on Dirt. At three, he joined American Pharoah on the Kentucky Derby trail and won the Jerome Stakes and the Gotham Stakes, both Grade 3 contests at Aqueduct. He was third in the Grade 1 Wood Memorial to Frosted and was withdrawn from the Kentucky Derby on the eve of the race. He didn’t race again until October and won the 7f Listed City of Laurel Stakes on Dirt and went on to come home in fourth in the Grade 1 Malibu Stakes over the same distance. He made several starts at four and five, showing his soundness and durability with a best finish in the Grade 1 Stephen Forster Handicap. A good-looking roan colt, he was bred by Rustlewood Farm and sold for $250,000 at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale.
El Kabeir is the first foal out of Great Venue, an Unbridled’s Song halfsister to the multiple Grade 2 winner Too Much Bling (Rubiano) and the stakes winners Barnsy, Ready For Roses and Littlebitabling. Another son of Scat Daddy, No Nay Never has made a blistering start to his stallion career and already has a Group 1-winning son at stud. No Nay Never, a Group 1-winning juvenile, has three lines of Mr. Prospector in his pedigree, the two from Scat Daddy himself and that of his damsire Elusive Quality. El Kabeir is bred in a similar way as he also has a broodmare sire from the Mr. Prospector line, in his case it is Unbridled’s Song. El Kabeir had 40 of his first crop sell as foals for an average of 16,370gns with the top price of 65,000gns given for the second foal out of the winning Invincible Spirit mare School Run, a half-sister to Listed winner Noor Sahara out of a half-sister to Land Of Dreams, dam of Dream Ahead. He was sold to Philip Stauffenberg by John Dwan’s Ballyreddin and Kellsgrange Studs at the Tattersalls December Foal Sale. A pair of colts were sold for €52,000 at Goffs November with the first to achieve that price Redmarble Farm’s colt out of Impasse, a Dansili half-sister to the Group 2 Oleander Rennen winner Raa Atoll.

Galileo Gold T
HE 2,000 Guineas and St James’s Palace Stakes winner represents the same combination of Al Shaqab and Tally-Ho Stud that has successfully launched the stallion career of Mehmas, one of 2020’s brightest sire prospects. By the top-class miler Paco Boy, who duelled with the brilliant Goldikova, Galileo Gold was classy juvenile winning the Group 2 Vintage Stakes over 7f at Goodwood and beaten less than 2l into third in the Group 1 Prix Jean Luc Lagardère for Hugo Palmer. He made his seasonal debut at three in the 2,000 Guineas and defeated a field which included European champion two-year-old Air Force Blue, Ribchester and Marcel. Galileo Gold was forced to settle for second in the Irish 2,000 Guineas behind Awtaad, but was back in the winners’ enclosure in the St James’s Palace Stakes (G1) when he beat that rival as well as the Poule d’Essai des Poulains winner The Gurkha. His Coolmore rival overturned him in the Group 1 Sussex Stakes, beating Galileo Gold by a neck with Ribchester in third, ahead of Group 1 winners Toormore, Lightning Spear and Awtaad. Both sides of Galileo Gold’s pedigree boast positive pedigree influences – Paco Boy is from the outstanding Green Desert sire line which has produced stallions of the calibre of Oasis Dream, Invincible Spirit and Cape Cross, while he is out of a Sandhurst Prince mare, the same broodmare sire as Dandy Man, sire of four Group/Grade 1 winners and counting from the Danehill branch of Danzig’s line.
On his dam’s side, he hails from the family of the outstanding Montjeu, who is a half-brother to his third dam, the unraced Cuixmala (Highest Honor). She is also a half-sister to Cumbres, the dam of Group 1 Irish 1,000 Guineas and Moyglare Stud Stakes winner Again and Aris, the Listed-winning dam of Group 1 Prix de la Foret winner Aclaim, who also has his first yearlings this year. His dam is an unraced half-sister to Goldream, an Oasis Dream gelding who won the King’s Stand Stakes and Prix de l’Abbaye (G1). Galileo Gold retired as a five-year-old where he was warmly received by breeders and covered a book of 132 mares. Buttonhole, a Montjeu half-sister to the Group 1 Fillies’ Mile winner Red Bloom, has a yearling filly by Galileo Gold. Another member of that family with a Galileo Gold yearling is Red Fuschia, who also foaled a filly in 2019. His fillies were popular with the three most expensive foals of the year all fillies, and all bought by Tally-Ho. The top price was €80,000 at Goffs November for Ringfort Stud’s half-sister to 2019’s Group 2 Gimcrack and Champagne Stakes winner Threat from the family of Ulysses. Esker Lodge sold a half-sister to Listed winners Flaming Speer and Taqseem and to Desert Blossom, second in the Group 2 Rockfel Stakes and the dam of Listed winner Duneflower, while the Royal Ascotwinning breeder Robert Norton bred the third most expensive first crop foal. She is a half-sister to the Group 3 Flame Of Tara Stakes winner Sea Of Grace, who made €50,000 consigned by Newtownbarry House Stud.

RED ON THE Galileo-Danehill cross that has produced 15 Group 1 winners, including leading sires Frankel and Teofilo, Highland Reel has a stallion’s pedigree. His dam Hveger was third in the Group 1 Australasian Oaks and is a fullsister to Australian champion Elvstroem, who won five Group 1 races and was Group 1 placed in the northern-hemisphere. Their half-brother Haradasun was a champion in Australia and Europe winning the Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes in the northern-hemisphere and the Group 1 George Ryder Stakes and Doncaster Handicap in the southern. His second dam was also a champion – the Group 1 AJC Oaks winner Circles Of Gold, a halfsister to the second dam of Starspangledbanner. Highland Reel’s younger full-brother Cape Of Good Hope won the Group 1 Caulfield Stakes last year, while another full-brother Idaho was successful in Royal Ascot’s Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes and the Great Voltiguer (G2) and Group 1 placed. Highland Reel raced 27 times over five seasons, becoming the highest-earning European-trained racehorse of all time.

The following May he took in the French Classics and finished second to New Bay in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey-Club. Victory in the Group 3 Gordon Stakes set him back on a winning path and led to victory in the Group 1 Secretariat Stakes.

Mondialiste N
http://www.elwickstud.co.uk/stallion-2/mondialiste/
OT MANY STALLIONS inspire so much devotion in their owners that they build a farm around them, but that’s exactly what the late Geoff Turnbull did for Mondialiste, his Group 1-winning son of Galileo. Standing a stallion in the north-east of England, away from the centres of the bloodstock world, is not an easy task but Turnbull was a determined man, loyal to the land that shaped him and his stallion stands at the purpose-built Elwick Stud, near Hartlepool. To use that mis-quoted line from Field Of Dreams “if you build it they will come” and Mondialiste is proof – 52 mares visited the Grade 1 Arlington Million and Woodbine Mile winner in 2018, rising to 60 the following year. His race record and physical resemblance to his pre-potent sire account for part of his appeal, as does his family which is one of the most prolific of those nurtured by the Wertheimer brothers. Mondialiste is a half-brother to Group 2 Prix Sandringham winner and Group 1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches second Impressionante, a daughter of Danehill. She is the dam of Group 1 Prix du Jockey-Club winner Intello, also by Galileo, and a successful young stallion in England and France. Mondialiste also counts the Group 3 winner Only Answer by Green Desert as a half-sister and the pair are out of the Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest
and Prix de la Foret winner Occupandiste. She is a half-sister to Only Green, a Listed-winning daughter of Green Desert, who is also the dam of Group 2 Prix d’Harcourt winner and Group 1 Prix Jacques le Marois second Shaman (Shamardal). The second dam Only Seule is a Lyphard half-sister to the July Cup (G1) winner Elnadim and to the Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Mehthaaf, who is the grand-dam of Mujarah, dam of the Group 1-winning miler Ribchester. His third dam is Group 2 winner Elle Seule. She is a half-sister to the champion and sire Timber Country, the Grade 1 winner Northern Aspen, Fort Wood, a Grade 1 winner, champion sire and broodmare sire in South Africa, the Grade 2 winner Colorado Dancer, who produced champion Dubai Millennium and appears in so many top pedigrees through his son Dubawi. Her unraced Sadler’s Wells half-sister Dance Of Leaves is the dam of Queen Anne Stakes (G1) winner and sire Charnwood Forest and Medaaly, winner of the Racing Post Trophy (G1) and also a sire. Mondialiste’s fourth dam is the blue hen Fall Aspen. Five foals from the first crop of Mondialiste were offered for an average of €40,590 or 31,070gns, six-time his covering fee of £6,000. Two colts were offered at the Goffs November Foal Sale with Mags

National Defense
I
NVINCIBLE SPIRIT has created a stallion dynasty from his base at the Irish National Stud, one that stretches from Europe to Australia, and the patriarch is not finished yet – he adds new Group 1 winners to his roll of honour each year. National Defense has mighty hoof-prints to fill, standing alongside his father in Kildare, but he has the genes to do so as he is a grandson of Kingmambo and a descendant of the outstanding Anna Paola, winner of the Preis der Diana (G1) in 1981, and the ancestress of champions around the globe. A stand-out from a young age, National Defense was sold for €280,000 as a yearling at Arqana’s August Sale when bought by Sun Bloodstock from breeders Ecurie Monceaux and Meridian International. Sent into training with Madame Criquette Head, he made his debut in a Deauville mile maiden in August of his two-year-old season,
winning comfortably. Upgraded straight into Group 3 company in the mile Prix des Chenes, he finished third, and was stepped up again in the Group 1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère when he came home nearly 5f clear of the field. He ran twice at three, finishing second behind subsequent Group 1 Prix Jacques le Marois winner Al Wukair in the Group 3 Prix Djebel before running in the Group 1 Poule d’Essai des Poulains won by Brametot. He retired to stud as the only Group 1-winning stallion at two by Invincible Spirit at stud in Ireland or the UK. National Defense hails from one of the strongest maternal lines – his dam Angel Falls is a half-sister to the Listed winners Iguazu Falls, Advice and Anna Salai, who also finished second in the Irish 1,000 Guineas (G1). She is also a half-sister to the dam of South African Group 1-placed Dubai Gina. Second dam Anna Palariva is a daughter of Caerleon and

She is a half-sister to the dam of Ave, winner of the Grade 1 Flower Bowl Invitational, and their dam is the Group 3 winner Anna Of Saxony, an Ela-Mana-Mou half-sister to Accessories. She is the unraced dam of Group 1 winners and sires Epaulette and Helmet, sire of Dubai World Cup (G1) winner Thunder Snow, and the Group 3 winner and Group 1 second Bullbars, and Pearls, a Group 2 winner. Anna Of Saxony is a granddaughter of Anna Matrushka, who is also the second dam of Group 1 Racing Post Trophy winner Anus Mirabilis. Anna Paola’s line has also been cultivated by the late Bob McCreery through Anna Oleanda, a half-sister to Anna Matrushka, and the dam of Group 3 winners Anna Nerium, Middle Club and Piping Rock, and Coplow. She is the dam of Group 1 1,000 Guineas and Sun Chariot Stakes winner Billesdon Brook. National Defense was strongly supported at stud by both the Irish National Stud and Sun Bloodstock, who supplied him with high-class mares. Other prominent breeders who used him in his first season included Kirsten Rausing, Barouche Stud and Oghill House Stud. Almamia, a winning Hernando half-sister to Group 3 winner Algonquin and out of the Group 1 dual Champion Stakes heroine Alborada, has a yearling colt by National Defense. Her Sadler’s Wells half-sister Alta Moda has a filly from National Defense’s first crop. Albarouche, a Sadler’s Wells full-sister to Derby second Dragon Dancer, from the same family as Almamia and Alta Moda, has a National Defense yearling filly. Twelve members of that first crop exchanged hands at public auction in Europe for an average of 19,085gns. The most expensive at Goffs November was a filly out of the German Listed-placed mare Wild Step, bought for €42,000 by Sun Bloodstock. Her second dam Zaynat is an Unfuwain full-sister to the Group 1 Nassau Stakes winner Zahrat Dubai. The late Brian Kennedy bred the most expensive National Defense foal at the Tattersalls December Foal Sale – Violet Hesketh and Mimi Wadham going to 37,000gns for the half-sister to three winners, including the Italian Listed-placed filly City Of Stars. The top price achieved by a colt was also at Goffs where the Michael Buckley and Ian Thompson-bred foal out of Salty Sugar, a daughter of Oasis Dream from the family of Grade 1 winners Reynaldothewizard and Undrafted, made €40,000 to John Troy.

Postponed D

UBAWI’S SONS Night Of Thunder and New Bay are blazing a trail for their sire in their first seasons at stud and Postponed, officially rated a better racehorse than both of them, is aiming to follow hot on their heels as their sire’s influence continues to increase. A 360,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 purchase, Postponed hails from a speedy family that contains a number of classy juveniles up close and it’s unsurprising that he was able to make his debut for Luca Cumani in a 7f maiden during Newmarket’s July meeting. He was successful on his second start, again over 7f, and then finished second in the 7f Tattersalls Millions Two Year Old Trophy on his final run of the season. He began his three-year-old campaign on the Classic trail finishing third to Toormore and The Grey Gatsby in the mile Group 3 Craven Stakes and filled the same position in the 1m2f Group 3 Tercentenary Stakes at Royal Ascot. He won his first black-type contest over 1m3f when taking Hamilton’s Listed Glasgow Stakes, and followed that up with success in the Group 2 Great Voltigeur Stakes. At four he won the Group 1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes and the Group 2 Prix Foy, and was also third in the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup at The Curragh. He moved yards after his success in the Prix Foy and travelled to Dubai for his first race for Roger Varian, who used the Group 2 Dubai City Of Gold as a successful springboard to a winning run in the Group 1 Dubai Sheema Classic. Back in England after his winter in the sun he continued in a winning mood beating Found to win the Group 1 Coronation Cup and Highland Reel again, this time in the Group 1 Juddmonte International. Bred by St Albans Bloodstock, Postponed’s younger Nathaniel half-sister God Given provided Luca Cumani with a fairytale ending to his training career when she won the Group 1 Premio Lydia Tesio on her final run. The pair are out of Ever Rigg, a Dubai Destination daughter of Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes winner Bianca Nera (Salse). She is a half-sister to Hotelgeniedotcom, the Selkirk filly who was placed in both the Moyglare and the Fillies’ Mile (G1), and the dam of Group 1 Falmouth Stakes winner Simply Perfect (Danehill). Postponed was retired at a fee of £20,000 and covered 106 mares in his first season. Amongst those in his first book included Portmanteau, the dam of Group 1 winner and Darley sire Hunter’s Light, who produced a filly by him, and Fallen Star, dam of the Group 1 Coronation Stakes winner Fallen For You, in turn the dam of Group 2 winner Glorious Journey (Dubawi). Mount Elbrus, the grand-dam of 2019 European champion two-year-old Pinatubo, was also covered by Postponed in 2019 and she has yearling filly by him. Sheikh Mohammed Obaid, in whose colours Postponed raced, sent his Group 1 Prix Jean Romanet winner Ajman Princess (Teofilo) to the sire for her first covering and she produced a filly. At the foal sales, 15 of Postponed’s first crop were offered with 11 of them changing hands for an average of 67,145gns, more than three times his covering fee. The most expensive foal from the first crop of Postponed was the half-brother to the Group 1 Poule D’Essai des Pouliches fourth Tropbeau. Consigned by Norris Bloodstock, he was purchased by Stroud Coleman Bloodstock for 280,000gns. Langton Stud’s Postponed colt out of Shemya also broke the six-figure barrier at that sale making 150,000gns to Yeomanstown Stud.

PROFITABLE 2012 Invincible Spirit-Dani Ridge (Indian Ridge) Kildangan Stud
FACT PACK
2018 €12,000 | 2019 €12,000 | 2020 €12,000
T
HE SUCCESS OF Invincible Spirit as a progenitor of successful stallions ensures a high demand for sons that show high-class form on the track and, in the Group 1 King’s Stand Stakes winner Profitable, Darley acquired a colt with a higher rating than his old man. A tough and durable sprinter who aged well, Profitable hails from a speedy family and offers an outcross for mares from the Sadler’s Wells line – his dam Dani Ridge is a daughter of Indian Ridge, himself a winner of the King’s Stand Stakes. A Tattersalls October Book 1 yearling, Profitable was purchased by his trainer Clive Cox for 95,000gns and made his racecourse debut in June of his two-year-old season. Racing six times, all at 5f, he won once and was second on four occasions. At three, Profitable won the 5f Listed Westow Stakes and finished second in the 5f Listed Scurry Stakes. A 5f specialist, he returned at four in his best form stringing together a hat-trick of 5f Group race victories that culminated in success in the King’s Stand. As a five-year-old his best place finish was a second to Lady Aurelia in the Group 1 King’s Stand Stakes, giving the flying filly 11lb. He was also second to Battaash in the Group 2 King George Stakes and signed off with a close third behind the same foe in the Group 1 Prix de l’Abbaye. Profitable is a half-brother to Group 3 Summer Stakes winner Ridge Ranger, to Danidh Dubai, who was third in the Group 3 Albany Stakes and is the dam of a Listed winner and two Listed-placed winners, as well as to the dam of Listed winner Archer’s Dream. His dam Dani Ridge is a winning full-sister to Group 3 Diomed Stakes winner Blomberg and the family goes back to US champion two-year-old colt Hurry To Market and Grade 1 Spinster Stakes winner Sale Day. He covered 129 mares in his first book and his second book increased to 143 mares, an impressive achievement. Profitable was supported by a wide variety of breeders from John Tuthill to Miss Pat O’Kelly, John McEnery and Paul McCartan. The mares he was sent included Barouche Stud’s Caressor, a full-sister to leading North American sire Tapit, who produced a filly by Profitable. The O’Callaghans of Mountarmstrong Stud also have a Profitable yearling filly, theirs being out of their Group 3 winner Obama Rule, a Danehill Dancer grand-daughter of Arc heroine Detroit. His foals were popular at the sales and his average of 32,596gns, which is more than three times his covering fee, is even more impressive when the number of foals sold (51 offered) is taken into account. Oak Leaf Stud’s filly out of Miss Azeza was the most expensive selling for €205,000 to Hamish Macauley at Goffs November Foal Sale. The filly is a half-sister to Listed King Charles II Stakes winner and Middle Park Stakes (G1) second Jash. Airlie Stud’s colt out of Reign sold for €120,000 to Lynn Lodge Stud. The half-brother to Gold Tail, an Italian Listed winner, comes from the family of Group 1 winner and sire Red Clubs. It was a filly who achieved the highest price at Tattersalls December Foal Sale, courtesy of a half-sister to the Group 1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches and Sun Chariot Stakes-placed Irish Rookie selling for 105,000gns to Haras de Saint Pair.

Recorder R
ECORDER, a chestnut son of Galileo, has paved new ground for crosschannel collaboration. Winner of the Group 3 Acomb Stakes at two for his owner-breeder Her Majesty The Queen, the beautiful Normandy countryside and Haras de Montfort et Préaux was chosen as the base to stand the monarch’s first stallion in over a decade. An imposing classically-bred chestnut he showed plenty of speed and precocity in his short racing career, winning the Group 3 Acomb Stakes for William Haggas and Frankie Dettori. That was the second victory of his career, his first coming in a maiden at Newmarket’s July meeting. Sadly, injury after his Acomb success prevented him from racing again. Recorder is the first foal bred by The Queen out of her Group 2 Cherry Hinton and Group 3 Albany Stakes winner Memory (Danehill Dancer). Since then she has produced the Grade 2 Belmont Gold Cup Invitational Stakes winner Call To Mind, a full-brother to Recorder, and Learn By Heart, winner of the Group 3 Stockholms Stora Pris, as well as a Frankel three-parts brother to Recorder. Memory is a Danehill Dancer half-sister to Remember Alexander (Teofilo), winner of Leopardstown’s Group 3 Tyros Stakes, and she is inbred 3x3 to Sharpen Up through her

broodmare sire Diesis and Mira Adonde, dam of Danehill Dancer. Recorder is bred on the excellent Galileo-Danehill Dancer cross that has produced six individual Group 1 winners, including the outstanding filly Minding, this year’s runaway Investec Derby (G1) winner Serpentine, first-season sire and dual Group 1-winning miler The Gurkha, Circus Maximus, who won the Queen Anne Stakes (G1) at Royal Ascot in June, and 2019’s Irish Derby winner Sovereign. Galileo has also produced leading sire and European champion Teofilo and the outstanding Frankel, as well as his Group 1-winning full-brother Noble Mission, the sire of 2019 Preakness winner War in his first crop, from Danehill mares. Maybe, the Group 1 winner and dam of exciting young sire Saxon Warrior, is another bred on that cross so it is one that has already borne fruit at stud.
Recorder served one of the biggest books in France in his first season at Montfort et Préaux covering 152 mares at €6,000. He has been strongly supported by leading international breeders including his own, Gerard Augustin-Normand, Barry Irwin’s Team Valor and the Niarchos family’s Haras du Fresnay le Buffard. Amongst the first book of mares Recorder covered were Lidana, the dam of Mont Ormel, who has a yearling half-sister to the Grand Prix de Paris (G1) winner. La Hoguette finished third to Charm Spirit in the Group 1 Prix Jean Prat and Gerard Augustin-Normand’s daughter of Le Havre has a yearling colt by Recorder. Raymi Coya, winner of the Group 3 Oh So Sharp Stakes, has a yearling half-sister to dual Listed winner Make Fast, dam of this season’s Group 2 July Stakes and Listed Windsor Castle Stakes winner Tactical. Aspen Darlin, successful in the Group 3 Firth of Clyde Stakes and second in the Cheveley Park Stakes (G1), is another classy racemare with a Recorder yearling filly. Six short yearlings by Recorder were offered at the Arqana February Sale and all of them were sold, with an average price of €21,416. The top price of €52,000 was given by Sylvain Vidal for Camille and Guillaume Vitse’s half-brother to Listed Prix Pelléas winner Aubevoye (Le Havre). The couple’s Normandie Breeding also sold the second and third-most expensive Recorder foals in the sale with a half-sister to five winners, including Celtic Rock, successful in the Group 3 Prix André Baboin, and Listed winner Fresles going for €38,000 to Guy Petit. The third-highest price for Recorder’s offspring was the €26,000 paid by Agence BHB for a half-sister to Group 2 Criterium de Maisons-Lafitte second Boos, descended from Whakilyric.

RIBCHESTER 2013 Iffraaj-Mujarah (Marju) Kildangan
FACT PACK
2018 €30,000 | 2019 €25,000 | 2020 €20,000
I
FFRAAJ HAS already produced a sire son who hit the ground running with Wootton Bassett siring the champion Almanzor in his first crop. Ribchester was not a Group 1 winner at two, unlike his paternal half-brother, but Ribchester’s racing career reached stellar heights and with strong support from breeders at a higher covering fee than Wootton Bassett’s when he started out, all the omens point towards success for Ribchester. His story is one of rags to riches in a sense with breeder Andrew Thompson finding his dam Mujarah for just 18,000gns in the Shadwell draft at the 2011 Tattersalls December Mares Sale. Unplaced at two and three, she is a Marju half-sister to the Group 3 Curragh Cup winner Tactic out of Tanaghum, a Listed-placed daughter of Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Mehthaaf, a half-sister to Group 1 Darley July Cup winner and sire Elnadim. Another half-sister Only Seule is the dam of Group 1 Prix de la Forêt and Prix Maurice de Gheest winner Occupandiste, herself the dam of Grade 1 winner and young sire Mondialiste and second dam of Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club winner and sire Intello. Mujarah’s third dam is the Group 2 Prix d’Astarte winner Elle Seule, a daughter of blue hen Fall Aspen, and a half-sister to Colorado Dancer, dam of Dubai Millennium, sire of Dubawi. Iffraaj was chosen as Mujarah’s first mate and the resulting foal was sold for €78,000 at Goffs November Foal Sale to Jamie Railton Bloodstock. Returned to Goffs 11 months later for the Orby Sale, the bay colt was sold through the Irish National Stud for €105,000, bought by Highbank Farm. Sent into training with Richard Fahey, he finished second on his debut in a 6f maiden at Doncaster before the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes when second to Ajaya. After that performance he was purchased privately by Godolphin in whose colours he ran for the first time in the Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes, when he broke his maiden in style. At three he was third to Galileo Gold, but ahead of Air Force Blue, Marcel and Buratino, in the 2,000 Guineas. Dropped down to 7f for the Jersey Stakes (G3) at Royal Ascot, he returned to winning ways. Then taking on the English, Irish and French 2,000 Guineas winners, as well as older horses including Toormore and Lightning Spear, he finished third in the Group 1 Sussex Stakes, half a length behind The Gurkha and Galileo Gold. His first Group 1 triumph came in his next race when he beat Vadamos to win the Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville. He finished off the season with a fine second place to the brilliant Minding in the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes. The following March he finished third in the 1m1f Group 1 Dubai Turf before returning to England and the winners’ enclosure in the Lockinge Stakes (G1) at Newbury. He added a third Group 1 victory, and second Royal Ascot success, in the Queen Anne Stakes but failed by just a neck to win the Sussex Stakes (G1). The fourth and final Group 1 win of his career came in Longchamp’s Prix du Moulin, while he was thwarted by a filly for the second successive season in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, this time it was Persuasive who was the filly in front. Ribchester covered 142 mares at a fee of €30,000 in his first season at Kildangan and was well supported by Godolphin and outside breeders alike. Sir Edmund Loder, Meon Valley Stud, Redpender Stud and Norelands Stud were amongst the renowned breeders who supported him in that initial season. A substantial proportion of his foals were offered, almost a third, selling for an average of €58,196, almost double his covering fee. His most expensive foal sold at Tattersalls was McCracken Farms’ colt out of Jawlaat, an unraced Shamardal half-sister to Group 3 Prix du Cabourg winner Tantheem. From the Al Ishq branch of Allegretta’s dynasty, the March-born colt cost Hubert Honore 145,000gns. At Goffs four members of Ribchester’s first crop sold for six-figures with the most expensive of the quartet being a colt out of Venus De Medici, a Duke Of Marmalade full-sister to Group 3 winner and Group 1-placed Venus De Milo. Consigned by Stanley Lodge on behalf of Tullpark Limited, he was bought for €150,000 by WH Bloodstock. The most expensive filly foal by Ribchester was Ballinacurra Stud’s half-sister to 2019’s Princess Margaret and Albany Stakes third Aroha, who was bought by Denis Brosnan’s Epona Bloodstock for €140,000.

A
SON OF LEADING Australian sire Snitzel, Spill The Beans was one of the most popular young stallions in Australia before his untimely death at just seven years old last November. He was one of the foundation stallions for Aquis Farm’s Canugra operation and his early runners had shown promise before their sire’s unexpected demise. His first crop of runners has impressed with eight individual winners at the time of writing for the Group 2 QTC Cup, Group 3 Hawkesbury Guineas and Group 3 Eskimo Prince Stakes winner. Spill The Beans won five of his 11 starts at two and three, racing from 1100m to 1400m. Spill The Beans’ younger Not A Single Doubt half-sister Kenedna has won ten races, including the Group 1 Queen of the Turf and Doomben Cup and was also second in the Group 1 Schweppes Oaks and fourth in the Queensland Oaks (G1). They are out of Miss Dodwell, a winning Falbrav half-sister to the Group 3 winner Yammer and Listed winner Blab, who is the dam of Group 1 Flight Stakes winner Speak Fondly and Wild And Proud, who won the Group 2 Hobartville Stakes.

The Grey Gatsby T HE GREY GATSBY is the highest-rated son of multiple Group 1 winner Mastercraftsman and carries the hopes and legacy of the Danehill Dancer branch of Danehill’s sire line. The longevity of his career can obscure the fact that he was a classy two-year-old, winning a 6f maiden on debut at York and finishing second in both the Group 2 Champagne and Vintage Stakes. He was second to Toormore in the Group 3 Craven Stakes on his seasonal reappearance at three and, after running in the 2000 Guineas, stepped up in trip to take the Group 2 Dante Stakes on his next run. Connections opted to remain at the Dante trip and chose the Prix du Jockey-Club over the Derby. The Chantilly Classic has produced stallions of the calibre of Shamardal and his son Lope De Vega, as well as leading second crop sire Make Believe, in recent years. The decision proved to be the right one as The Grey Gatsby defeated a field that included the Group 1 Poule d’Essai des Poulains winner Karakontie and dual Group 1 winner Prince Gibraltar. Stepped up to 1m4f for the Grand Prix de Paris, he
http://www.petittellier.com/gatsby.php didn’t appear to stay but was back to his best when running dual Derby winner Australia close in the Group 1 Juddmonte International. He beat a top class field that included Australia, Al Kazeem and Mukhadram to win the Irish Champion Stakes (G1) at Leopardstown. He travelled to Meydan for the first start of his four-year-old season and was second to Solow in the Group 1 Dubai Turf, and was just a short head second to Free Eagle in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot. He filled the same position behind that season’s Derby hero Golden Horn in the Eclipse Stakes and was third to Arabian Queen and Golden Horn in the International back at York the following month. Kept in training as a five-year-old his best result was second to Big Orange in the Group 2 Princess of Wales’s Stakes and a fourth to My Dream Boat in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes. Out of the Listed Prix Solitude second Marie Vision, an Entrepreneur half-sister to seven winners including the Group 3 Prix Daphnis third Saint

Time Test D
UBAWI’S SON Night Of Thunder, who retired to stud in 2015, proved a revelation in 2019 with his first crop achieving recordequalling numbers of stakes winners of two-year-olds, which is sure to increase interest in the first crop of Time Test, a beautifully bred son of Dubawi. A Juddmonte Farms home-bred out of Passage Of Time, winner of the Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud, and third in the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf (G1), Nassau Stakes (G1) and Prix Vermeille (G1), Time Test was a high-class racehorse over four seasons and in two countries. Trained for the first three seasons by Roger Charlton as a juvenile Time Test won once and was placed in the other two of his three starts. As a three-year-old he showed an impressive turn of foot to win the Group 3 Tercentenary Stakes at Royal Ascot over 1m2f and added the Group 2 Joel Stakes to his list of successes. The following year he beat Group 1 winner Mondialiste in the Group 2 York Stakes, over his favoured 1m2f trip, and also finished third in the Eclipse Stakes (G1) at Sandown. He won the Group 3 Brigadier Gerard at the start of that season. He was sent across the Atlantic Ocean to join the Chad Brown barn for his five-year-old career and he put in some top-notch performances on Turf finishing second in Saratoga’s Grade 1 Fourstardave Handicap and third in the Manhattan Stakes, also Grade 1, at Belmont Park. Juddmonte supported him strongly in his first season at stud and Scuffle, the dam of last year’s St Leger hero Logician, was sent to visit. She has a yearling colt by Time Test. Anthony Oppenheimer’s Hascombe and Valiant Studs Lynwood Chase, dam of multiple Group 1-winning filly Star Catcher, Group 1 winner Cannock Chase and the Grade 1-winning novice hurdler Pisco Sour, produced her final colt by the stallion. Other prominent owner-breeders who sent mares to Time Test, include Kirsten Rausing, Lady Lloyd Webber and the late Duke of Devonshire. Time Test’s foals were popular at the Tattersalls December Sale and 27 members of his first crop were offered for sale in Europe last year, 24 of them in Newmarket. His foals achieved a healthy £25,550 average more than three times his covering fee. The top price achieved was 62,000gns for Whatton Manor Stud’s halfbrother to US stakes winner Barleysugar, out of a Cozzene half-sister to

HEN YOU think of Monsun the first words that pop into your mind are not necessarily precocity and juvenile stars, but in Ultra, a grandson of the great stallion, that is what you get. The chestnut son of Manduro was unbeaten in his three runs in a juvenile campaign that culminated with victory in the Group 1 Prix JeanLuc Lagardère, a race in which he beat the following season’s Group 1 2,000 Guineas and St James’s Palace Stakes winner Galileo Gold. At three, he was second in the Group 2 Prix Eugene Adam, one of only two runs that season, and he won his only start as a four-year-old, the Listed Prix Jacques Laffitte. Ultra is one of six Group 1 winners by Manduro, the European champion older horse of 2007, whose own Group 1 successes included victory in the mile Prix Jacques le Marois. Bred by Godolphin, he is one of seven winners out of the Nashwan mare Epitome and is a half-brother to Synopsis (In The Wings), who won the Group 3 Prix Minerve, and the Listed-placed Epic Similie (Lomitas). Epitome is out of the Italian champion sprinter Proskonia, who would seem a logical source of Ultra’s speed and juvenile ability. Proskona is the dam of Canadian Grade 2 winner Calista, and the third dam of Group 1 Prix Lupin and Critierium International winner Act One, Gharir, who was third in the Group 1 Poule d’Essai des Poulains, and Fillies’ Mile (G1) runner-up Summer Symphony. Proskona is a half-sister to Group 2 Goldene Pleitsche winner Keos, who was placed twice in both the Prix de la Forêt and the Prix de l’Abbaye (G1). More significantly, she is also a half-sister to Korveya, the Group 3 Prix Chloe winner, who is more famous as the dam of Hector Protecor and Bosra Sham. Ultra covered 73 mares at Godolphin’s Normandy base of Haras du Logis with support from the likes of Criquette Head, Haras du Logis and Gerard Augustin-Normand. Only two foals from his first crop were offered at the European foal sales last year, with one selling. That was Haras du Hoguenet’s halfsister to Wootton Colt, who won the two-year-old Listed Criterium Nazionale in 2019. Out of Teth, whose dam is a half-sister to Group 1 winners and stallions Bago and Maxios, the filly made €28,000 bought by Marco Bozzi, four times Ultra’s covering fee.

Ulysses
http://www.cheveleypark.co.uk/stallion/ulysses/
I
F EVER A STALLION deserved the epithet “regally bred” it is Cheveley Park Stud’s Group 1 Eclipse and Juddmonte International Stakes winner Ulysses. His sire Galileo’s influence on the thoroughbred will be felt for generations to come, his dam-sire Kingmambo has left an extraordinary legacy of his own and Ulysses’s own female family is an aristocratic dynasty shaped by the Niarchos family. The handsome chestnut finished outside the first four just twice in his 13 career starts, nine of which came in Group races. He began his career as a juvenile in an autumn Newbury mile maiden for Sir Michael Stoute, made his three-year-old seasonal reappearance over 1m2f before breaking his maiden over that same trip at Newbury. He won the Group 3 1m4f Gordon Stakes, and warmed up for his fourth place finish in the Breeders’ Cup Turf with a narrow defeat in the Winter Hill Stakes (G3) at Windsor. His four-year-old season began with victory over Group 1 winner My Dream Boat in the Gordon Richards Stakes (G3) before chasing home Highland Reel and Decorated Knight in the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes (G1) at Royal Ascot. His breakthrough at the highest level came less than three weeks later in the Eclipse Stakes when he got the better of Barney Roy. Conceding a stone to Enable in the Group 1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes, he chased her home in second place. No Enable and a drop down to 1m2f100yds for the Juddmonte International at York the following month produced a powerful performance from Ulysses, who beat a field that included Churchill, Barney Roy and Decorated Knight. His final race came in the Arc when third to Enable and his own close-relation Cloth Of Stars. His dam Light Shift was responsible for one of the most emotional Oaks successes when her triumph in the 2007 renewal brought Sir Henry Cecil back from the wilderness. Her lineage entitled her to be a Classic winner as a half-sister to Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup winner Shiva, now the grand-dam of Group 2 Gimcrack and Champagne Stakes winner Threat. Her half-brother Limos (Hector Protector), as is Shiva, won the Group 2 Prix Foy and Grand Prix du Printemps. Another half-sister, the Listed winner Burning Sunset by (Caerleon), is the dam of Group 2 winner and Group 1-placed Smoking Sun and the second dam of US champion Turf horse and champion older male, the four-time Grade 1 winner Main Sequence. She is also a full-sister to Light Blow, the unraced dam of this year’s Grade 3 Sam F Davis Stakes winner Sole Volante (Karakontie), and the Canadian Derby (G3) winner Trappe Shot.

Ulysses’s third dam is the champion Northern Trick, who won the Prix de Diane and Prix Vermeille (both G1). Ulysses is one of 86 Group/Grade 1 winners and counting by Galileo, for whom new superlatives will have to be invented, and so far 17 of Galileo’s sons at stud have produced at least one Group 1 winner. Light Shift is by Kingmambo, so Ulysses’ pedigree is truly Niarchos designed, and as a broodmare sire Kingmambo has excelled. Camelot is out of a mare by Kingmambo as is Derby winner Ruler Of The World, who has produced Iridessa from his first crop. With the might of the Cheveley Park and Niarchos blue-blooded broodmare band behind him Ulysses covered 110 mares in his first book, a third of them either Group 1 winners or related to Group 1 winners. Amongst the Group 1 producers with a yearling by Ulysses is Furbelow, who foaled a half-sister to the dual Group 1 winner Advertise. Echelon, winner of the Group 1 Matron Stakes and dam of Integral, who won the Group 1 Falmouth and Sun Chariot Stakes, has a yearling colt by Ulysses, while Integral herself has a filly. Ama, the final foal of the outstanding Miesque, produced a colt by Ulysses. West Of The Moon, a grand-daughter of Ama’s full-sister the dual Classic winner East Of The Moon, was also amongst Ulysses’ first book of mares and has a yearling colt. At the European foal sales, Ulysses made an impact with 18 selling to new owners for an average of €61,672. The two most expensive foals were sold at Goffs November Sale, with Jamie Railton acquiring a colt out of the American Stakes winner Fools In Love for €175,000. Offered by The Castlebridge Consignment, he is a half-brother to the Group 2 Champagne Stakes winner and Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes third Seahenge. Castlebridge was also the source of the second-most expensive Ulysses colt, the first foal of Troarn, a Listed winner and full-sister to the champion Almanzor; she cost Yeomanstown Stud €150,000. Ballyphilip Stud bought the most expensive Ulysses foal at Tattersalls December Foal Sale, West Moor Stud’s colt out of the winning Exceed And Excel mare Azhar. From the Niarchos pedigree of the Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac winner Albigna, the April foal made 90,000gns/€110,905.

INGS OF EAGLES not just emulated his sire Pour Moi by winning the Derby (G1) he also almost perfectly replicated the dramatic style of the victory, swooping fast and late to grab glory in the shadow of the famous Epsom winning post. Behind him that day were a galaxy of stars who would go on to enhance the reputation of the race. Cracksman won four Group 1 races, including successive Champion Stakes, Capri was victorious in the Irish
Derby and the St Leger, Rekindling went on to make history in the Melbourne Cup, while Best Solution and Benbatl would become multiple Group 1 winners. Wings Of Eagles raced just once more after his Epsom triumph when third to Capri and Cracksman in the Irish Derby, but that run was full of courage as he suffered a career-ending fracture during the race. He had also won his maiden over a mile at two and finished fourth

Zarak
T
HE OLD ADAGE “breed the best to the best and hope for the best” could have been written with Zarak in mind. A son of the most successful stallion to ever stand in Britain and an unbeaten, champion racemare, Zarak became a Group 1 winner on the track for his parents Dubawi and Zarkava. Another triumph for the breeding policy of HH The Aga Khan, Zarak is one of 42 individual Group 1 winners by Darley’s flagship stallion Dubawi and the first runner and winner out of Group 1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, Prix de Diane, Poule d’Essai des Pouliches, Prix Vermeille and Prix Marcel Boussac heroine Zarkava, who was Europe’s Horse of the Year after her stellar three-year-old season. Winner of his maiden over a mile on his only start as a two-yearold, he was a top-class performer over 1m2f and 1m4f at three and four, finishing second to Almanzor, another champion from Aga Khan bloodlines, in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey-Club and the Prix Guillaume Ornano (G2). He finished less than 3l behind Vadamos when fourth in the Group 1 Prix du Moulin over a mile and was a fitting winner of the Group 3 Dubai Millennium Stakes over 1m2f at Meydan on his seasonal reappearance as a four-year-old. Fourth in the Dubai Turf (G1) on Meydan’s Dubai World Cup Card, he finished a very close second to Cloth Of Stars in the Group 1 Prix Ganay and broke through that glass ceiling in the 1m4f Grand Prix de Saint Cloud (G1), beating a field that included Group 1 winners Hawkbill, Silverwave and My Dream Boat. Zarak is a half-brother to Zarkamiya (Frankel), who won the Listed Prix de Thiberville and was third in the Group 1 Prix Vermeille. Their dam Zarkava has produced four winners with her first four runners and is a Zamindar half-sister to the Group 3 Prix Minerve winner and Group 2 Prix de Royallieu third Zarshana. His second dam Zarkasha is by the Aga Khan’s Derby winner Kahyasi and was unraced. She is a half-sister to Zarkiya, a daughter of Catrail, and winner of the Group 3 Prix de Sandringham.

Third dam Zarkana is a daughter of Doyoun and a half-sister to Listed Prix Amandine winner Zarannda (Last Tycoon). It is a maternal lineage of enormous significance, tracing back all the way to Mumtaz Mahal. In his first season at the Aga Khan’s Haras de Bonneval, Zarak covered 134 mares with the expected strong support of his owner-breeder’s regal broodmare band, alongside breeders such as Haras du Berlais, Times of Wigan and Haras du Cadran. His first book of mares included Balankiyla, a Montjeu half-sister to the Grade 1 Secretariat Stakes winner Bayrir, who has a yearling filly by Zarak. Shamooda, an Azamour half-sister to Group 3 Prix Allex France winner Shemima out of the Group 1 Prix de Diane winner Shemaka, produced a colt by Zarak in 2019, while the Group 2 Prix Chaudenay winner and Group 1 Prix Royal Oak third Shankardeh has a yearling colt. Nine foals from Zarak’s first crop were offered for sale last year with seven of them selling for an average of €17,341. The highest price given was €50,000 for the first foal of the New Approach mare Belle Above All, an unraced half-sister to the Grade 3 Long Island Handicap winner Dalvina and the Listed winner Soft Centre, dam of Group 1 Nassau Stakes winner Sultanina, a daughter of New Approach. The colt, who was consigned by Stephen Kemble on behalf of Highgate Stud, was purchased at Goffs November by Blue Sky Bloodstock. Al Eile Stud’s filly out of Myrine, a Sadler’s Wells half-sister to the Arc winner Sagamix, the Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud winner Sagacity, Sage Et Jolie, the Group 2-winning dam of Group 1 Prix d’Isphan winner and sire Sageburg, and Shastye, the dam of 2019’s Grand Prix de Paris winner Japan, was bought by Springfield House Stud for €20,000, also at Goffs. His most expensive foal in France was a daughter of Wild Blossom, a winning Areion half-sister to the Listed winner Wilder Wein, who made €20,000 to Guy Petit at the Arqana December Breeding Stock Sale, sold by La Motteraye Consignment.

ELZAL, a Group 1-winning miler by the outstanding Sea The Stars, has impeccable stallion credentials. His sire already has a successful son at stud in the shape of Lanwades’ Deutsches Derby (G1) winner Sea The Moon, who is the sire of this season’s Group 1 Coronation Stakes winner Alpine Star, his broodmare sire is the brilliant Kingmambo and his second dam is by none other than Sadler’s Wells. Bred by the Head family at their historic Haras du Quesnay, the bay was sold for €180,000 at Arqana’s 2014 October Yearling Sale to Al Shaqab. Unraced as a two-year-old, trainer Jean-Claude Rouget sent him out to win his first two starts at three, over 7f and a mile. He bounced back from a troubled run in the Group 1 Poule d’Essai des Poulains to win the Group 3 Prix Paul de Moussac over a mile before success in the Prix Jean Prat (G1), breaking the track record held by Turtle Bowl. The final run of his three-year-old career ended with third place to Vadamos in the Group 1 Prix du Moulin. Returning in the Prix Bertrand du Breuil (G3) at Chantilly as a fouryear-old he finished second behind stable companion Taareef and fourth in the Group 1 Sussex Stakes. Zelzal is the elder half-brother of Group 3 Prix Chloe winner Ibiza by Redoute’s Choice out of Olga Prekrasa, a winning Kingmambo daughter of Opera Aida. She is a Sadler’s Wells full-sister to True Crystal, the winning dam of Libran, winner of the Group 2 Chairman’s Handicap and second in the Group 1 Sydney Cup. Opera Aida’s full-sister Top Crystal produced the Group 3 Minstrel Stakes winner Three Rocks to Rock Of Gibraltar, and she is also a halfsister to the Listed Cheshire Oaks third Crystal Curling. Opera Aida’s dam is Group 3 Lancashire Oaks winner State Crystal, also third in the Yorkshire Oaks (G1) and Prix Vermeille (G1). She is a half-sister to the Fillies’ Mile (G1) winner Crystal Music, Dubai Success,

photo of the month: Supremacy by 2020’s leading European first-season sire Mehmas THE CLIVE COX-TRAINED Supremacy became the first Group 2 winner for 2020’s leading European first-season sire Mehmas when taking the Richmond Stakes at the Qatar Goodwood Festival, emulating Mehmas himself, who won the race in 2016 for Al Shaqab Racing. The colt was bred by Kangyu International Racing, but was raised, grazed and consigned by John Tuthill of Owenstown Farm. “It is rather exciting to be associated with a horse like Supremacy, who was bred and raised here on the farm for clients Kangyu International Racing. He was always a nice horse and Clive Cox bought him in Donny and I’m delighted he has gone on to win a Group race so early in his career. It is lovely that he has emulated his sire,” said Tuthill to Aisling Crowe for our Goodwood daily digital review. The owner of Owenstown Stud, which is located outside Maynooth in County Kildare, explained a little more about the breeders’ involvement in the industry. “They are involved with Cotai Glory and we are preparing Supremacy’s half-brother by him to go to Book 1 which is very exciting. It is a breeder’s dream to go to Book 1 with a Group race update and something fresh in the memory.” Supremacy is out of Triggers Broom (Arcano), and is the second foal and winner for his dam, who also has a filly foal by Cotai Glory and returned to him in the spring. Tuthill believes that the son of Exceed And Excel has every chance of emulating the success of Mehmas next season. “I like Cotai Glory as a stallion, he is getting very nice stock, good strong horses and I think he has every chance of making it. Tally-Ho is very good at doing what it does, they picked Mehmas, they picked Cotai Glory and, of course, they picked Kodiac!” he added. At the time of writing, Mehmas is also sire of 14 winners, including the unbeaten Listed Rose Bowl Stakes winner Method and Muker, who was third in the Listed Windsor Castle Stakes.
