SUMMER YEARLINGS FIRST-SEASON SIRES

Welcome to the essential sales digest

W

ELL, we’ve made it.

The yearling sales season is finally upon us in this most unsettling and troubling of years.

This is the first supplement we have produced since sales resumed, and (hopefully!) won’t be the last. Calling it Summer Yearlings sparked some debate, especially since Arqana had initially delayed from its usual August selling slots until late September, before coming forward again.

However, Summer Yearlings still felt appropriate. It’s still the summer, after all, albeit we’re fast running out of it.

The auction houses of Germany, France, Britain, Ireland and Italy, not to mention the United States and elsewhere, will be busy preparing for their allimportant yearling sales, and we kick off the European season with a deep dive into the upcoming Goffs UK Premier, BBAG, Arqana and Tattersalls Ireland catalogues, offering good choice at all levels of the market.

One of the most intriguing, exciting elements of this time of year is scrutinising the first yearling crops of a wide range of sires, and that felt the right way to launch our coverage.

John Tuthill, Ralf Kredel, Antoine Bellanger and Kevin Blake are our vendor profiles, while many of the most attractive lots – on paper at least – are pinpointed throughout the supplement, along with recent star graduates.

A reassuring regular feature of a most irregular yearling sales season will be the Racing Post’s coverage of the action, with all the news, results and analysis on the website and in the paper.

Good luck, whether you are buying, selling or are just a fascinated observer.

OOLMOREBASED pair Caravaggio and Churchill were the highest priced new recruits to the British and Irish stallion ranks in 2018, both having been given an introductory fee of €35,000.

Consequently, most of their well-bred debut offerings at the early yearling sales are clustered around the higher end auctions at Doncaster and Deauville.

The eight on offer at Goffs UK Premier by Caravaggio, a dual Royal Ascot-winning son of Scat Daddy, include Glenvale Stud’s half-brother to Listed scorer Birch Grove out of Group 2-winning sprinter Danehurst (lot 166) and Castlehyde Stud’s colt out of Queen Boudica, a winning Dansili half-sister to the dam of recent Phoenix Stakes hero Lucky Vega (359).

There are 11 by Caravaggio to choose from at the Deauville Select Sale. The pick of the bunch on paper are Haras de l’Hotellerie’s half-brother to Florida Oaks winner Outburst (59), the La Motterayeconsigned half-sister to US Grade 2 scorer True Valour (258) and Ecurie des Monceaux’s filly out of Kiss Me Not, a Galileo sibling to Group 1 winners Crusade and Seventh Heaven (128).

African Rose and Group 3 scorer Helleborine, the dam of lightning-quick Calyx (173). ( One of Churchill’s two representatives at the Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale is a half-brother to Viren’s Army, the son of Twirling Candy who topped this sale in 2014 and went on to take the Dee Stakes. The Castlebridge Consignment will present the colt, who goes under the hammer as lot 57.

Almanzor, Almanzor a son of Wootton Bassett crowned champion of Europe after impressive victories in the Prix du Jockey Club and Irish and British Champion Stakes, also retired to Haras d’Etreham in Normandy at a fee of €35,000 two years ago.

Naturally, the bulk of his delegation to the early yearling sales are heading to Deauville – no fewer than 32 at Arqana, in fact – and Etreham showcases its star sire by sending eight of those.

The highlights among the Etreham Almanzors could be the half-sisters to stakes winners Eliade (79), Suphala ( (231) and San Huberto (460), and the half-brothers to further black-type scorers Sans Equivoque (255), Uni ( (274) and Dice Roll ((458).

Other Almanzor yearlings at Arqana to note include Haras d’Ombreville’s filly out of the Group 3-winning Siyouni mare Bourree (35) and Haras ( de Saint-Pair’s half-brother to Listed scorer Urwald out of Waldjagd, a Group 2-placed mare from the in-form family of Waldgeist (283). (

Not forgetting the three Caravaggios on offer at the Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale, who include the filly who is the first offspring of Energia Fox, Classic-placed in her native Brazil and Listedplaced in Britain (136). Hart Livery Farm and Stud consigns her.

Champion two-year-old and dual 2,000 Guineas victor Churchill, a physically imposing Galileo brother to Clemmie out of Meow, a stakes winning daughter of Airwave, appears to have all the credentials needed to excel as a stallion and his quartet due to sell at Doncaster include Ballyhane Stud’s colt out of Group 3-winning sprinter Beyond Desire, making him a half-brother to Listed scorer Queen Of Desire (104).

One of the standouts among Churchill’s draft of three at Baden-Baden is Gestüt Ammerland’s colt out of Bahama Bay, a winning daughter of Dansili and the consignor’s outstanding champion Borgia (25).

With 13 available, it is Arqana that has the widest choice of Churchill lots at the early yearling sales, though.

Among those whose pages catch the eye are Haras de l’Hotellerie’s colt out of German 1,000 Guineas winner Briseida, thus a half-brother to Group winners Brisanto and Bristano (37); the Monceauxconsigned colt out of Danedream’s Listed-placed half-sister Debutante (65); ); and Haras d’Etreham’s half-sister to Haydock Sprint Cup heroine

In a joint-venture with La Motteraye, Etreham consigns the only Almanzor yearling to be offered at Goffs UK - a colt out of Vadsariya, a Listedplaced Exceed And Excel mare from the family of champion Valyra (31).

The two Almanzors entered at BBAG boast persuasive pages. Gestüt Fährhof is set to consign a filly out of Preis der Diana third Amona (169), while Ronald Rauscher is due to offer a filly out of Fresh Air, a winning Montjeu mare from the exceptional Juddmonte family of Close Hatches, Siskin and Xaar (189).

Almanzor and Churchill are among six Classic winners with debut yearlings available to buyers in 2020, along with Brametot, Galileo Gold (left), The Grey Gatsby and Wings Of Eagles.

T

HERE are only a handful by Brametot, the Poule d’Essai des Poulains and Prix du Jockey Club-winning son of Rajsaman, on offer at the early yearling sales but they include some choicely bred lots.

Being out of a half-sister to the great Monsun, the stallion might find himself popular with German buyers and his two colour bearers at BBAG include Stauffenberg Bloodstock’s colt out of Zegna, a Norwegian Oaks winner by Monsun’s son Shirocco (163).

He thus encapsulates an intriguing bit of inbreeding.

Racing Post Thursday, August 27, 2020

– the new kids on the block a strong representation at the British and Irish stops on the yearling sale circus, including ten at Goffs UK Premier and 12 at Tattersalls Ireland September.

Tally-Ho Stud, which stands the stallion, presents a colt out of the Italian Listed-winning Haatef mare Big Violett (106) at Doncaster, where the other lots by the sire with attractive pages include Alice FItzgerald’s filly out of Village Gossip, an unraced daughter of broodmare sire extraordinaire Pivotal and Lancashire Oaks second Local Spirit (41).

It was at Tattersalls Ireland where Galileo Gold was sourced as a yearling himself and it could arguably be there that he is seen to best effect as an up and coming sire.

He will be shown off at Newmarket by Ringfort Stud’s half-sister to stakes winners Harlem Dance, Shenanigans, Tropical Paradise and Ubettabelieveit (230); Castlebridge’s half-brother to Listed scorer Lexington Times (162); and Rockton Stud’s halfbrother to Acklam Express, a determined winner of the Listed Roses Stakes at York (1).

The Grey Gatsby, the son of Mastercraftsman best remembered for taking the scalp of Australia in the Irish Champion Stakes, is stationed at stud in France, where he won the Prix du Jockey Club.

Unsurprisingly, his first sales produce are concentrated on Arqana and six of the seven on offer there are being sent up by his custodians at Haras du Petit Tellier. They include a half-sister to Listed winner High Alpha (379) and a colt out of Prix des Reservoirs scorer Moonee Valley (419).

Surprise Derby winner Wings Of Eagles stood his first season at Haras de Montaigu and only one of his debut yearlings has found its way on to the market in the early yearling sales – a colt out of Konigskrone, a winning daughter of Shirocco from the family of Kaldera and Konig Turf being taken to BBAG by Haras d’Ombreville (37).

Other top-class ten-furlong and middle-distance performers with their first yearlings for sale in the coming months include Decorated Knight, Highland Reel, Mondialiste and Ulysses, all by Galileo, and Dubawi’s sons Postponed (above), Time Test and Zarak.

Decorated Knight, a threetime Group 1 winner from the immediate family of Giant’s Causeway, has received strong support from his owner and breeder Blue Diamond Stud.

Tattersalls and Goffs will no doubt provide his turn in the spotlight, but there are a few opportunities for early bird buyers to score one by the Irish National Stud-based sire.

There are two at Goffs UK Premier, including a filly out of a winning Kodiac half-sister to Kingsgate Native from Rathasker Stud (328), and the same number at Tattersalls Ireland September, one of them a half-sister to Listedplaced Beaute Pour Toi from the Irish National Stud (171).

Shoppers at Tattersalls Ireland will be spoilt for choice of yearlings by Highland Reel, a beautifully bred admirable seven-time elite winner, with 14 to choose from.

Orchardstown Stud’s filly who is the first foal out of Ruby Shoes, a winning daughter of Rock Of Gibraltar from a strong Ballymacoll Stud family (351), takes the eye, as does Cappagh Beg Stud’s filly out of Sereza, a Pivotal relation to Sendawar who won her maiden by six and a half lengths for Dermot Weld and the Aga Khan (364).

Mondialiste, a dual North American Grade 1 winner and half-brother to Impressionnante, the Classicplaced dam of Intello, has been well supported at an affordable fee at Elwick Stud.

T

HERE are three of his debut yearlings on offer at Ascot, including a colt out of Break Free, a placed daughter of Oasis Dream and German 1,000 Guineas winner Penny’s Gift (225), and one – a filly out of the Listed-winning American Post mare Novita (302) – at Newmarket.

Ulysses, the Eclipse and Juddmonte International winner out of Oaks heroine Light Shift, has five entered at Goffs UK, including Hillwood Stud’s half-brother to smart sprinter Burmese Waltz out of a winning daughter of Dansili (243), and Bumble Mitchell’s half-brother to five winners out of a Pivotal sibling to speedy pair Feet So Fast and Soar (255).

Postponed already had plenty going for him when he retired to Dalham Hall Stud, as a brilliant four-time Group 1 winner out of a daughter of Moyglare Stud Stakes scorer Bianca Nera, but his profile has since been enhanced by

the victory of his half-sister God Given in the Premio Lydia Tesio.

He has a smattering of entries across the early yearling sales, including Houghton Bloodstock’s colt out of Clear Water, a Listedwinning daughter of Hard Spun, at Doncaster (147) and the La Motteraye-consigned half-sister to last year’s Prestige Stakes scorer Boomer at Deauville (284).

National Stud-based Time Test had a fair bit more toe than your average three-time ten-furlong Group winner, as he also took the Joel Stakes over a mile. The Juddmonte-bred has five yearlings heading for Goffs UK, with Jamie Railton’s half-sister to Washington Singer Stakes third Amabilis out of Listed-placed Pure Joy (357) among the best-bred.

Haras de Bonneval resident Zarak can lay claim to possessing the most prestigious pedigree among this cohort, as the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud winner is out of the exceptional racemare Zarkava.

There are 11 by the sire set to sell at Arqana, with the Fairway Consignment’s filly out of Prix de Diane runner-up Amour A Papa (303), Haras de la Haie Neuve’s half-sister to Listed winner Feralia (326) and Haras de Grandcamp’s half-brother to Poule d’Essai des Poulains fourth Graignes (366) among the highlights.

If it’s progeny of a high-class miler you want, look no further than Al Wukair, El Kabeir or Ribchester.

There is a quintet of debut yearlings by Al Wukair, a Prix Jacques le Marois winner by Dream Ahead, for sale at Deauville. They include two notably well bred fillies - Haras du Mezeray’s half-sister to Group 3 winner Ocean Fantasy (176) and Haras de Saint-Pair’s half-sister to Pattern scorers Secret Advisor and Subway Dancer (254).

Yeomanstown Stud’s acquisition of a precious stallion son of Scat Daddy in El Kabeir looks a shrewd move and the market will get its first glimpse of the US Grade 2 winner’s yearlings at Doncaster, where 14 have been

catalogued. Perhaps Manister House Stud’s filly who is the second foal out of the well-bred Oasis Dream mare Heart Of Oak (241) or Hyde Park Stud’s half-sister to six winners out of Listed-placed Mimisel (314) will get him off to a good start.

El Kabeir’s Tattersalls Ascot draft includes a half-sister to recent Group 2-winning two-year-old Miss Amulet from Ringfort Stud (143), while among his Fairyhouse lots is Yeomanstown’s own halfbrother to stakes winners Mister Manannan and

Shermeen, the last-named the dam of Phoenix Stakes scorer Sudirman (102).

Ribchester, who hails from the Iffraaj sire-line that gave us Wootton Bassett and Almanzor, marked himself as one of the best milers of recent years thanks to successes in the Prix Jacques le Marois, Lockinge, Queen Anne and Prix du Moulin.

The Kildangan Stud stallion has 13 entered at Doncaster, including several well related lots – not least Monksland Stables’ half-brother to Listed winner Encrypted (171); the Church View Stablesconsigned half-sister to the redoubtable Gabrial (234); and Yeomanstown Stud’s half-sister to recent Marygate Stakes scorer Sardinia Sunset (383).

Among the picks of the eight Ribchesters at Arqana are Hubert Honore’s colt out of a Shamardal half-sister to Tantheem (120) and Haras du Cadran’s filly out of German 1,000 Guineas runner-up Nymeria (175).

There is the usual large number of sharp two-year-olds and sprinters with sizeable

introductory yearling drafts, such as Aclaim, Ardad, Birchwood, Cotai Glory and Profitable.

Physique will be the watchword as pinhookers and trainers scour those less expensive stallions’ stock for bargains, but there are some well-bred youngsters among their number.

Particularly eyecatching are the Cotai Glory half-sister to multiple Group 2-winning sprinter A’Ali to be offered by Salcey Forest Stud (322) and Cobhall Court Stud’s Profitable half-brother to Listed scorer Global Applause (159), both at Doncaster.

Finally, it would be remiss not to mention the highest rated racehorse who has debut offspring at the early yearling sales in Europe – outstanding US performer Arrogate.

The late son of Unbridled’s Song is represented at Arqana through a colt who is the result of some innovative thinking by Haras de Colleville, the stud having sent Kenriya, a Group 3-placed daughter of the operation’s rags to riches sire Kendargent, to him in Kentucky.

A’Ali

3yo b c Society Rock-Motion Lass (Motivator) A’Ali is what the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale is all about: an unpretentious pedigree but a sharp two-yearold and classy sprinter, all for an inexpensive sum.

Successful in three Group 2s as a juvenile he has added the Coral Charge and Sapphire Stakes to his resume this year.

A’Ali was originally signed for

by Howson and Houldsworth Bloodstock for just £40,000 as a yearling at Doncaster, and was resold by Star Bloodstock to Stroud Coleman Bloodstock for £135,000 in the same ring at the breeze-ups.

Sadly, there are no more yearlings by A’Ali’s sire Society Rock available, as the Tally-Ho Stud stallion died after only three seasons in the breeding shed.

However, Tally-Ho, who bred and originally sold A’Ali, have another 24 yearlings heading to the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale, many by home sires, who the operation traditionally gives every chance of making the grade. That draft is sure to contain more sprinting stars.

Furthermore, Salcey Forest Stud is consigning the Cotai Glory half-sister to A’Ali (lot 322) to the auction.

Racing Post Thursday, August 27, 2020

Barney Roy

6yo b g Excelebration-Alina (Galileo) Barney Roy’s tale has been a twisty one. After hosing up on his debut for Richard Hannon at Haydock at two, he was purchased by Godolphin and enjoyed a productive threeyear-old season, landing the Greenham Stakes and St James’s Palace Stakes and finishing second in the 2,000 Guineas and Eclipse.

Those efforts earned him a place on the Darley stallion roster but he was found to be subfertile, so was gelded and returned to training with Charlie Appleby.

He hinted he had retained his old ability with a score in a Longchamp Listed contest last year and he has been something like his old self at six in 2020, notching Group 1 victories at Meydan and Munich.

Barney Roy’s story began at the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale of 2015, when he was bought by Peter and Ross Doyle for £70,000 from the Castletown Quarry Stud draft.

He delivered his pinhookers a fine profit, having been bought for 30,000gns as a foal. His pedigree has come a long way; indeed, it’s strange to think that his Dubawi half-brother was Europe’s most expensive yearling last season when bought by

Godolphin for 3,600,000gns.

Barney Roy’s sire Excelebration has just one lot in this year’s Premier Yearling Sale – Alice Fitzgerald’s colt out of Strategise, a placed halfsister to this year’s Royal Ascot winner Hey Jonesy (416).

Golden Horde

3yo ch c Lethal Force-Entreat (Pivotal) Clive Cox has made hay with his Doncaster yearling purchases, from his first Group 1 winner as a trainer, Gilt Edge Girl, through the likes of Harry Angel, Reckless Abandon, Tis Marvellous and up to Supremacy – more of whom later.

Golden Horde must rank as one of the very best exponents of the sales house/trainer combination, though, following his impressive victory in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot this term and subsequent creditable third-placed effort in the July Cup. Golden Horde, a £65,000 buy from the Highclere Stud draft, is a Lethal Force half-brother to Listed Pipalong Stakes winner Exhort out of the winning Pivotal mare Entreat, a half-sister to dual Group 3 scorer Producer.

There is only one lot by Lethal Force available at this year’s Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale – a colt out of the

four-time winning Sir Percy mare Emmuska from Charlock Stud (198).

On the plus side, there are nine on offer out of Pivotal mares – quite a selling point, considering the broodmare sire achievements of the Cheveley Park Stud stalwart – including one with the potential to make a big sum: Highclere Stud’s Showcasing filly out of Scarborough Fair, a daughter of Kinnaird and halfsister to Berkshire (391).

Nickajack Cave

4yo gr g Kengargent-Could You Be Loved (Montjeu) Precocity and pace are what the Premier Yearling Sale is best known for, but it is far from one-dimensional and in recent years several more star graduates who stay further than sprints or mile contests have emerged.

Laurens, the popular filly who won the Prix de Diane, is the best recent example of a Goffs UK graduate excelling over a middle-distance test but Nickajack Cave is another who is making the point for the sale company in no uncertain terms.

The son of Kendargent, bought by Gaelic Bloodstock for £65,000 in 2017, has won the Saval Beg Stakes over 14 furlongs and the Ballyroan Stakes over 12 furlongs on his last two starts for Ger Lyons.

Profitable, the best

sprinting son of Kingman’s sire Invincible Spirit. In fact, he was rated superior to his sire on the track and is from an exceptional speed heritage.

Won the G1 King’s Stand Stakes, G2 Temple and G3 Palace House in a lightning-fast hat trick.

First yearlings selling now.

He has recently been sold to continue his career with Peter Moody in Australia, no doubt netting connections a handsome profit.

Both Laurens and Nickajack Cave were consigned to Doncaster by Anna Sundstrom’s Normandy-based Coulonces Sales, which has ten on offer this year.

The 2020 draft includes a filly by Coulonces’ most famous alumnus, Le Havre, from the family of Group 1-winning siblings Dank, Eagle Mountain and Sulk (251), and a Starspangledbanner colt out of Dalakania, a Dalakhani halfsister to Group 2 winner Ziyad (165).

It is Tradewinds Stud, though, that will offer the only lot by Kendargent at this year’s Premier Yearling Sale – a filly out of Dommyah, a daughter of Exceed And Excel and Listed scorer Modeyra (176).

Supremacy

2yo b c Mehmas-Triggers Broom (Arcano) Supremacy lived up to his name with an imperious fourlength victory in the Richmond Stakes at Glorious Goodwood, proving in the process to be yet another Premier Sale steal by Cox. The trainer paid just £65,000 for the colt, who was following in the footsteps of stablemate

Golden Horde and will no doubt have found himself the subject of numerous big money offers from deeppocketed owners after that Group 2 success.

Bred by Kangyu International Racing, Supremacy hails from the first crop of yet another Richmond Stakes winner in Mehmas and is closely related to other Cox-trained stars Harry Angel and Xtension.

Ten second-crop yearlings

by Mehmas are due to go under the hammer in Doncaster in the coming weeks, including a half-sister to Weatherbys Super Sprint winner Ginger Nut from Alice Fitzgerald (78) and a halfbrother to Listed-placed Ghost Serge from Tally-Ho Stud (155).

Owenstown Stud, who consigned Supremacy as a yearling, are back at the Premier Sale with three more this year. One of those – a Fast Company half-sister to smart handicapper Starlight Romance – is the very first lot in the ring.

The Lir Jet

2yo b c Prince Of Lir-Paper Dreams (Green Desert) Prospective purchasers could do worse at this season’s yearling sales than just follow pinhooker extraordinaire Robson Aguiar and raise their hand every time he

appears to strike a bid.

The Brazilian-born trader netted last year’s Middle Park Stakes third Summer Sands as a yearling at Ascot for £2,000, recent Sweet Solera Stakes winner Star Of Emaraaty at Goffs for €3,500 and – his best yet – Norfolk Stakes hero and Phoenix Stakes runner-up The Lir Jet at Doncaster for £8,000.

Aguiar sold The Lir Jet privately instead of waiting to take him to the delayed breeze-up sales in this Covid-19 hit year, and owner Nick Bell presumably received a big profit on whatever he paid for the first-crop son of Prince Of Lir as he was promptly resold to Qatar Racing after his fine debut victory at Yarmouth.

The Lir Jet was lurking among the Ballyhane Stud draft at the Premier Yearling Sale. Joe Foley’s operation is back with nine lots at Doncaster this year, including a pair from the second crop of Prince Of Lir – another graduate of the auction who struck in the Norfolk Stakes.

Of Ballyhane’s two Prince Of Lirs, one is a half-sister to Listedplaced You Never Can Tell out of a winning half-sister to the aptly named Double Quick (53), and the other is a colt out of Joyous, a winning daughter of Assertive and Listed-winning sprinter Ivory’s Joy (267).

Thursday, August 27, 2020 racingpost.com

SUMMER YEARLINGS GOFFS UK Our team with their pick of 12 yearlings from the catalogue who could light up the ring at Doncaster Lot 24 b c Showcasing-Tschierschen (Acclamation) Consigned by Kirtlington Park Stud Kirtlington Park Stud managed to net this colt for just €28,000 as a foal, which seems a snip as he is by one of the most commercially desirable stallions around in Showcasing, and hails from a family in red-hot form.

He is out of Tschierschen, a winning Acclamation halfsister to five black-type performers including Roodeye, dam of Sussex Stakes hero Mohaather and granddam of Queen Anne Stakes winner Accidental Agent. What’s more, his two-year-old halfbrother Perotto has scored twice for Marcus Tregoning this term.

Lot 62 gr c Dark Angel-Along Came Casey (Oratorio) Consigned by Longview Stud Dark Angel must rank as one of the most successful Doncaster yearlings in history.

The son of Acclamation, bought by BBA Ireland for

‘Dark Angel’s crop is the first bred off his career-high fee of €85,000, and his lots warrant close attention’ 61,000gns in 2006, won the Middle Park for Barry Hills before his retirement to Yeomanstown Stud and flowering into one of Europe’s leading sources of two-yearolds and sprinters.

Dark Angel’s current yearling crop is the first bred

off his career-high fee of €85,000, and consequently his lots for sale this year warrant close attention. Longview Stud’s half-brother to Darley Stakes winner Feliciana De Vega out of dual Listed scorer Along Came Casey looks one of the picks at Goffs UK on paper.

Lot 161 b f Acclamation-Crying Lightening (Holy Roman Emperor) Consigned by Norris Bloodstock Acclamation has been a staple of Doncaster yearling buyers’ shopping lists since his first crop – including the influential Dark Angel – sold at the St Leger Sale 14 years ago. Since then, other stars by the sire such as Lilbourne Lad, Ponty Acclaim, Projection, Tabarrak and Ventura Tormenta have been sourced in South Yorkshire.

There are 15 by the sire for bidders to fight over this year, including Norris Bloodstock’s filly out of October Stakes winner and Sweet Solera Stakes runner-up Crying Lightening, a member of the prolific Juddmonte family responsible for Ajaya, Bated Breath, Cityscape, Equilateral and Logician.

b c Estidhkaar-Cute (Diktat) Consigned by WH Bloodstock This colt looks a shrewd pinhook, having been signed for by Outsider Bloodstock for just €8,000 at the Goffs February Sale.

In the intervening six months, his sire Estidhkaar has made a fair start with his debut two-year-old runners – six winners at a useful clip of 35 per cent at the time of writing – and his half-brother Pogo has graduated from handicap company to take the Listed Midsummer Stakes and run third to Persian King in the Prix d’Ispahan.

SVICAR AGE_FARM

b f No Nay Never-Dingle View (Mujadil) Consigned by Glenvale Stud No Nay Never has compiled a long list of stakes-winning progeny in a remarkably short time. With his oldest crop aged only four, he has already supplied more than 20 stakes winners in the northern

hemisphere. His six entries in the Premier Yearling Sale should consequently be in strong demand.

This No Nay Never filly from Glenvale Stud also boasts an admirable dam in Dingle View – winner of 11 races including the Group 3 Round Tower Stakes at two.

Lot 311 b f Havana Gold-Melbourne Memories (Sleeping Indian) Consigned by Barton Stud Havana Gold’s yearlings of 2020 were bred in the afterglow of his productive first season with two-year-old runners, when he was champion freshman in Britain and consequently earned a fee increase from £7,000 to £15,000.

This filly is evidence of the better standard of mare sent to the son of Teofilo that year, as she is out of Bosra Sham Fillies’ Stakes winner Melbourne Memories. The daughter of Sleeping Indian’s first three yearlings to have sold at Doncaster all made decent sums, including colts

by Acclamation and Muhaarar for £230,000 and £130,000.

Lot 313 ch c StarspangledbannerMidnight Oasis (Oasis Dream) Consigned by Baroda Stud Racing pundit Kevin Blake unearthed a true bargain when buying Midnight Oasis, an Oasis Dream halfsister to useful sprinters Move It and Out After Dark,

privately from her former owner Chris Mills.

The mare has produced seven winners from as many runners, including this season’s Prix Robert Papin scorer Ventura Tormenta and classy handicappers George Bowen and Mr Win. Her latest yearling, a colt by top sprinter Starspangledbanner, is consigned to Doncaster by Baroda Stud.

Lot 341 b c Kodiac-Paella (Oasis Dream) Consigned by Tally-Ho Stud Tally-Ho Stud’s totemic sire Kodiac is enjoying another fine season with his juvenile runners, his 2018 crop having already yielded five stakes winners – Campanelle, Frenetic, Nando Parrado, Ubettabelieveit and Zoetic – plus nine other black-type performers.

His home stud consigns to Doncaster a colt who is closely related to Coventry Stakes hero Nando Parrado. The bay is out of the Royal Ascot scorer’s Oasis Dream halfsister Paella, who was highly thought of but unraced due to injury and has already produced smart handicapper Getchagetchagetcha.

Lot 346 b c Night Of Thunder-Pearl Spirit (Invincible Spirit) Consigned by Broughton Bloodstock Night Of Thunder (left) has taken the bloodstock industry by storm, compiling some quite incredible statistics with his first two crops.

A high proportion of his progeny have notched high ratings and his stock are generally tough and straightforward types.

Group 3-placed daughter of Holy Roman Emperor who is the dam of three winners including the two-year-old filly Prado. She was an eyecatching winner on debut for Charlie Hills at Salisbury in July.

Lot 414

One of the standout pedigrees among the four by the stallion on offer at Doncaster is Broughton Bloodstock’s colt out of Pearl Spirit, an Invincible Spirit sister to top sprinter Fleeting Spirit who has produced two winners from two runners.

Lot 361 b f Siyouni-Queen’s Charter (Oasis Dream) Consigned by Barton Stud Siyouni is responsible for one of Goffs UK’s most popular recent graduates – Laurens, the brave frontrunning filly who struck in the Fillies’ Mile,

Prix Saint-Alary, Prix de Diane, Matron Stakes, Sun Chariot Stakes and Prix Rothschild.

Naturally, then, another daughter of Siyouni in the catalogue gets an instant bookmark, especially as the only representative of her sire at Doncaster.

Lot 380 b c Lope De Vega-Royal Empress (Holy Roman Emperor) Consigned by Haras d’Etreham and La Motteraye Consignment Lope De Vega goes from strength to strength, with Lucky Vega becoming his 11th Group/Grade 1 winner thanks

to his stunning victory in the Phoenix Stakes. Needless to say, there is bound to be strong competition for his yearlings in the months ahead.

There are two opportunities to buy one at the Premier Yearling Sale, including this colt out of Royal Empress, a

b f Exceed And Excel-Stay Silent (Cape Cross) Consigned by Far Westfield Farm It’s always worth digging a little deeper into the racing records of young mares with early progeny at the sales, and a closer look at the dam of this filly by the ever popular Exceed And Excel reveals she was better than her page suggests.

Stay Silent, a half-sister to Windsor Castle Stakes winner Sound And Silence (also by Exceed And Excel) from the family of Barathea and Gossamer, ran only three times for Saeed bin Suroor but on her final start she defeated future Listed scorer Waldnah by two and a half lengths to take a Wolverhampton maiden.

SUMMER YEARLINGS GOFFS UK

Top of the lots John Tuthill of Owenstown Stud talks to Ollie O’Donoghue

S

INCE Owenstown Stud sold the top lot at the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale eight years ago and consigned Richmond Stakes scorer Supremacy and Vintage Stakes second Devious Company to Doncaster last year, the farm’s trio of offerings will have buyers flocking to Barn B when the sale returns in early September.

John Tuthill’s operation in County Kildare will send the first lot through the ring, a Fast Company filly (lot 1) who shares her sire with the Tom Dascombe-trained Devious Company, who was sourced for £45,000 last year.

“She’s good-looking, goodwalking and by Fast Company, which I see as a big positive,” says Tuthill, who sold Marshall Jennings for £215,000 to top the sale in 2012.

“I’ve always been a fan of Fast Company and she’s from a family that is black type all the way. The two-year-old Belardo filly is with Brian Meehan and she should be appearing soon, hopefully before the sales – a win would give us a bit of excitement but I’m running out of time on that.

“Devious Company looks like a pretty serious horse and I’d say we haven’t seen the best of him yet. If he gets a little bit of juice in the ground, I’d say he’d be hard to beat. That’s my experience of Fast Company anyway, that they generally like a little bit of juice in the ground.

He’s certainly shown himself to be pretty good so far.”

Fast Company, a son of Danehill Dancer who sired the Irish 1,000 Guineas heroine Jet Setting, died at the age of 15 in March, having stood for a career-high fee of €12,000 the past two seasons.

Devious Company formed one half of a wonderful Glorious Goodwood for Tuthill, who sold the Mehmas colt Supremacy on behalf of his client Kangyu International Racing for £65,000 to trainer Clive Cox.

John Tuthill: his Fast Company filly will be first through the ring

“Mehmas is a very exciting sire,” says Tuthill. “It’s great for Tally-Ho Stud to have another good one there, as they run a very good operation.”

Not long after, it will be the turn of a first-crop colt (40) by Profitable, the King’s Stand Stakes scorer by Invincible Spirit.

“He has a nice shape, and a good walk and presence about him,” says Tuthill. “Profitable is from the Invincible Spirit line, which is all the rage at the moment. Hopefully he’ll show himself to be another Kingman.”

Tuthill will have almost the rest of day one to show off his final offering, a second-crop Markaz colt (233) out of the unraced Mastercraftsman mare Grecian Artisan.

The dam is a half-sister to Choose Me, the Listedwinning dam of QEII heroine Persuasive, who shares her sire Dark Angel with Markaz.

“He’s a strong, powerful sort with a good walk,” notes Tuthill. “The Dark Angel cross to Hecuba has worked quite well in the past with

Persuasive, so there’s an obvious bit of attraction there.”

Markaz is an eight-year-old full-brother to Nunthorpe heroine Mecca’s Angel and he fielded a winner as well at Goodwood when Mark Of The Man landed a nursery over seven furlongs.

“Grecian Artisan was injured as a foal,” recalls Tuthill. “She broke a leg and that was pinned and put back together – quite a complicated bit of surgery – but she made a good recovery. Things worked out in our favour in that we were able to do the surgery on her.

“There was a very good Newmarket vet who happened to be in Ireland at the time, so we were able to go ahead and do that.

“She’d the pedigree to be bred from, so I took that option. She’s a lovely individual and is producing nice-looking stock.

“The half-brother Celsius is doing very well for Tom Clover and has won five races to date.

The two-year-old Dragon Pulse filly is named Fahrenheit and I would expect to see her

Choose Me has certainly endeared herself to Tuthill, with her winning two-year-old colt Creative Force by Dubawi having gone the way of Godolphin for €400,000 at the Goffs Orby Sale.

She also has a yearling brother to Persuasive destined for Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Sale and a foal sister.

Caravaggio filly (413) out of the Invincible Spirit mare Spirit Of Cuba, a daughter of Hecuba who won twice at three.

“It’s a nice family to be bringing to the sales – it certainly hasn’t done me too much harm,” says Tuthill.

“I’ve a couple of sisters of Choose Me, which is quite nice, and Hecuba herself has the Divine Prophet colt going to Orby.

“There aren’t many sons and daughters of the sire but he’s by Choisir who is also the sire of Choose Me, and she was a good filly in her own right.”

Destined for Book 1 is the aforementioned brother to Persuasive and a Cotai Glory half-brother to Supremacy, while Tuthill has doubled down on Tally-Ho Stud’s firstcrop sire Cotai Glory by sending three further colts to Ascot and Newmarket.

Tuthill, who has bred two winners of the QEII Stakes in Excelebration and Persuasive, sends a relative of the 1997 scorer Air Express to Ascot, along with a colt out of a

winning sister to stakes scorer Princedargent and half-sister to Listed-winning miler Private Jet. Newmarket-bound will be the first foal out of Clef, a three-time winner out of the Group 3 Prix Penelope scorer Humouresque, from the family of high-class racemares Danehurst and Dazzle.

“There’s a very good chance Cotai Glory will be the leading first-season sire next year going by the ones I’ve had here,” says Tuthill. “There’s such great strength about them and they look like two-year-old types.

“The two going to Ascot are strong types and nice individuals, and I’m delighted with them. The one for Newmarket is again a strong, early looking type suitable for that two-year-old market.”

Tuthill is represented at nearly all of the major Britsh and Irish auction houses’ yearling sales in 2020, and the name of Owenstown Stud at the top of a catalogue page is sure to catch the eye of potential buyers.

by Godolphin for a Sea The Stars filly out of Anna Mia from Gestüt BADEN-BADEN Brümmerhof in 2019

Leading graduates from Baden-Baden and the lots to watch out for . . .

Aramon

7yo b g Monsun-Aramina (In The Wings) Willie Mullins’ charge, successful in the Grimes Hurdle and Galway Hurdle this summer, might seem an odd choice for a star graduate of a Flat yearling sale.

But he illustrates perfectly the residual value of horses bred in Germany, where middle-distance ability and soundness are still held in the highest regard.

Originally not sold at €260,000 as a yearling at BBAG, he won at three and four for Markus Klug before being sold to Mullins’ eyes on the ground in mainland Europe, Pierre Boulard, for €40,000. Since being based in Ireland he has

won five races, including a Grade 1 novice hurdle, and finished placed at the Cheltenham and Aintree festivals, to earn nearly £300,000.

Aramon hails from the final crop of legendary German sire Monsun, source of world champion Manduro, German Derby heroes Samum, Schiaparelli and Shirocco, and Melbourne Cup winners Almandin, Fiorente and Protectionist and more.

Monsun was clearly an improving ingredient in a pedigree and his name in the bottom half of a pedigree is a reassuring stamp of quality.

There are nine yearlings at BBAG this year out of his daughters, including one by

Germany’s current premier sire Soldier Hollow – a sister to stakes-placed pair Nandaleo and Nirvana Dschingis from Gestüt Park Wiedingen (42).

Donjah

4yo b f Teofilo-Dyanamore (Mt Livermore) Darius Racing, overseen by Holger Faust, has a fine record of turning decent profits on its racecourse representatives.

Group 2 winner Parvaneh, for example, was sold to James Delahooke as a broodmare prospect for €1 million, while Canadian International runner-up Alounak was bought privately by King Power Racing.

It’s not difficult to see Donjah also selling for a pretty

penny if Darius Racing chooses to put her on the market in future.

The four-year-old daughter of Teofilo, a €100,000 purchase from breeder Gestüt Karlshof as a yearling at BBAG, was a six-length Group 3 winner at two, was twice Group 1-placed and a Group 2 scorer at three, and notched a deserved first victory at the highest level in the Preis von Europa in recent weeks.

Donjah has enhanced appeal as a broodmare prospect as a half-sister to Listed-placed pair Danny Boy and Tiglath out of another Listed-placed performer in Dyanamore. Further back it is the family of German champion Earl Of Tinsdal and

this season’s Dante Stakes winner Thunderous.

Donjah’s half-brother, a colt

by Outstrip, is available as lot 184 in the Gestüt Karlshof draft at BBAG this year.

Quest The Moon

4yo b c Sea The MoonQuestabella (Rock Of Gibraltar) Sarah Steinberg’s charge – a €32,000 vendor buyback as a BBAG yearling in September but sold for €67,000 in the same ring the following month – has developed into one of Germany’s leading performers, a regular face in the country’s top races who can be relied upon to give a good account of himself.

A Group winner at two, three and four, he is twice Group 1-

placed, including when beaten just a neck into second by Barney Roy in the Grosser Dallmayr-Preis in July.

Quest The Moon was bred

by Gestüt Görlsdorf from its sensational German Derby winner Sea The Moon, who has made an excellent start as a stallion from his base at Lanwades Stud, having also fielded the likes of Alpine Star, Hamariyna and Wonderful Moon.

There are seven more Sea The Moon yearlings from Görlsdorf at Baden-Baden in the coming weeks. They include a colt out of the Group 3-winning Adlerflug mare Wunder (162) and a closely related half-brother to Group 1-placed stayer Fun Mac (186).

b f Lope De Vega-Promesse De L’Aube (Galileo) Consigned by Ronald Rauscher In the midst of another fine season for Lope De Vega, during which Lucky Vega became the Ballylinch Stud resident’s 11th Group/Grade 1 winner, you can bet there will be fevered demand for his yearlings.

This filly by the sire is out of the Listed-winning Galileo mare Promesse De L’Aube, a half-sister to further Listed winners Elite Army and Pure Diamond and a daughter of German champion two-yearold filly and Preis der Diana runner-up White Rose.

b f Dubawi-Wellenspiel (Sternkoenig) Consigned by Gestüt Röttgen Here’s another filly in the catalogue with enormous residual value as a broodmare after her racing days are finished.

The only lot by Dubawi in the catalogue, she is a halfsister to consecutive German Derby winners Weltstar and Windstoss out of a winning Sternkoenig half-sister to Italian Group 1 scorer Well Made.

ch c Adlerflug-Bay Of Islands (Dubawi) Consigned by Gestüt Ohlerweiherhof Adlerflug has long been one of Germany’s leading sires and this year he provided his fourth Group 1 winner when In Swoop emulated his father by landing the Deutsches Derby. He deserves wider recognition and he may be about to get it, as two-year-old colt Alenquer scored impressively on debut for William Haggas at Newbury recently.

There are 12 lots by Adlerflug at BBAG, including this colt out of Bay Of Islands, a Dubawi half-sister to dual Group 1 winner Saddex. His half-sister Bharani Star ran a screamer when fourth at 100-1 in the Ribblesdale Stakes in June.

Lot 61 b f Sea The Stars-Sanwa (Monsun) Consigned by Gestüt Görlsdorf All eyes will be on this February-foaled filly, who has such a strong pedigree that, while it entitles her to be a topclass athlete, she would still be of immense value if she never graced a racecourse.

She is a Sea The Stars sister to runaway German Derby winner Sea The Moon and a half-sister to Listed-placed Sansiwa out of Sanwa, a Monsun sister to no fewer than three German Classic winners – Salve Regina, Samum and Schiaparelli.

Lot 87 b c Farhh-Wurfscheibe (Tiger Hill) Consigned by Gestüt Fährhof There aren’t that many yearlings to choose from at the sales by the subfertile but superb sire Farhh – source of King Of Change, Move Swiftly, Nocturnal Fox, Dee Ex Bee, Far Above and Wells Farhh Go from those limited opportunities.

Lots by Farhh have a certain cachet, then, and this one has an excellent distaff pedigree too. He is a half-brother to a Group 3 winner (Wiesenbach) out of a Group 3 winner (Wurfscheibe) and hails from the red-hot ‘W’ family of Waldgeist, Waldpfad and Wonderment.

Lot 175 b f Showcasing-Bastille (Saddex) Consigned by Gestüt Westerberg A solitary opportunity to buy a yearling by Whitsbury Manor Stud colourbearer Showcasing arises at Baden-Baden.

The filly in question is out of Bastille, a Listed-winning halfsister to the smart Broughton.

The dam is by Saddex out of champion two-year-old Boccassini.

SUMMER YEARLINGS BBAG

‘It’s very telling that some of the top stallions, not least Galileo and Sea The Stars, hail from German families’ RALF KREDEL The manager of Gestüt Etzean talks to Martin Stevens

W

HAT a way to celebrate a big birthday.

In its 50th year, Gestüt Etzean has been represented by two high-class fillies housed in John Gosden’s Clarehaven Stables – German Oaks heroine Miss Yoda and widemargin Listed Pretty Polly Stakes winner Run Wild.

Both fillies were bred and raised by the stud, situated in the Odenwald mountains north of Heidelberg in Germany and founded by the late Heinz Weil. The operation is perhaps best known in Britain and Ireland for having bred Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Don Cossack and raised world champion Manduro.

Miss Yoda and Run Wild were sold as yearlings at Baden-Baden two years ago.

Miss Yoda jointly topped the sale when bought by Blandford Bloodstock for €280,000, and she now carries the silks of German-born, Swiss-based financier Georg von Opel’s Westerberg operation.

Run Wild, meanwhile, commanded the fourthhighest priced lot at the auction, selling to David Redvers and brothers Henri and Ghislain Bozo for €160,000.

Ralf Kredel, a graduate of the Irish National Stud breeding course who succeeded his father Gerhard as manager of Gestüt Etzean, has been revelling in the recent results.

“Miss Yoda in particular is a fabulous story – raised and sold in Germany, she goes abroad and comes back to win a Classic in her native country,” he says of the daughter of Sea The Stars and Group 3-placed Monami - who in turn is by Sholokhov, the former Etzean resident who sired Don Cossack.

“She was a phenomenal

looking yearling, very athletic and just looked the part.

“Monami was a champion two-year-old and hails from a tough and consistent East German family that Etzean bought into some years ago. It produces an awful lot of blacktype horses.”

Monami’s yearling, a colt by Kingman, was sold to Baroda Stud for 340,000gns as a foal at Tattersalls last year. The 11-year-old mare has a Sea The Stars filly foal whose May delivery date ensured she was rested from being covered this year.

“We’ve bred three winners of the Preis der Diana [German Oaks] in the past 11 years – Night Wish, Feodora and now Miss Yoda,” Kredel continues.

“Interestingly, all three have been offered for sale as yearlings at BBAG.” Run Wild hails from the debut crop of Etzean’s own stallion Amaron, a son of Shamardal who was a prolific Group winner at around a mile including when striking at the top level in the Premio Vittorio di Capua.

She was bred from by Kredel himself out of the admirable mare Rondinay, a daughter of Cadeaux Genereux who has produced ten other winners including Rock My Heart, Rock My Love and Rock My Soul, who struck at stakes level.

Rock My Soul is the dam of William Haggas’s multiple Group 3 winner Young Rascal.

“Run Wild had an excellent physique as a yearling, as was shown by her price – it was a brilliant result for a stallion standing at €4,500,” says Kredel. “We were hoping she would go to a good home in England but we were surprised and delighted she ended up with John Gosden.”

Run Wild must have inherited those good looks from her dam, who was originally a FFr1 million Deauville yearling who went into training with Richard Hannon for the late aviation heir Cathal Ryan.

However, after winning only one race from nine starts, Rondinay was sold for only €19,000 at the Goffs February Sale and was resold again privately to Etzean a couple of

Easy winner: bred by Ralf Kredel (right), Run Wild was impressive when scoring at Newmarket

years later. The sale represented something of a homecoming, as Kredel explains.

“Rondinay is from the family of one of our best ever horses, Turfkonig – it’s some pedigree,” he says. “She didn’t win often but she did take a maiden at Newmarket, which takes some ability.

“She’d been entered to sell at Goffs February but was due to foal at the same time, so was withdrawn. I sent an agent to take a look at her and in the end bought her for Dad and myself.”

Rondinay is enjoying her retirement at Etzean at the age of 20, but the Kredels have two of her daughters to breed from. One of those is Rock My World, a dual winner by Sholokhov whose first foal is a Zoffany colt selling at BBAG as lot 55.

Etzean’s draft comprises 26 lots in total, including eight

by Run Wild’s sire Amaron.

“We’re very happy with what Amaron has achieved,” says Kredel. “Don’t forget, a German sire is doing well to have an average of 40 foals in his first three crops.

“Amaron already has several two-year-old winners from his second crop including the leading juvenile in Germany seen so far this season, Timotheus – he is heading to Baden-Baden for his next run.

“He hails from

an excellent sire line, being by Shamardal. We got him because we wanted a miler, already having two stayers in Lord Of England and Jukebox Jury on the roster at the time.”

Six of Etzean’s BBAG lots are

by Lord Of England, a Group 1-winning son of the stud’s former totemic sire Dashing Blade from the exceptional German family of champions La Colorada, Lady Marian, Lavirco, Lirung and Lomitas.

“Lord Of England is a solid proven stallion, with three German Classic winners to his name – in the Derby [Isfahan], Oaks [Feodora] and St Leger [Near England],” reports Kredel.

“He puts plenty of strength and bone into his offspring.”

Kredel nominates two of the Lord Of England yearlings as highlights of the Etzean draft.

They are the half-sister to Group 3-placed Peace Of Paris from the family of high-class runners Peace Royale, Peaceful Love and Pao Alto (141), and a colt out of the Group 2winning Soldier Hollow mare Ars Nova (172).

The other lot Kredel has a soft spot for is lot 150, a son of exciting first-season sire New Bay and Strawberry, a winning Lord Of England three-parts sister to Group 1 hero Sirius.

“A very nice colt,” is the verdict on the colt, delivered in hushed tones.

Hopes are realistic for the state of the market at BBAG in this extraordinary year affected by Covid-19 – even in Germany, which managed to bring the

virus under control quickly with less disruption to the economy than most countries in Europe.

“Germany certainly suffered less but we still have problems with prize-money in racing and growing the sport, as in Britain and elsewhere,” Kredel says.

“We’ll have to see how the yearling sales go. There’s a worry that as owners continue to struggle with the consequences of the pandemic in their day to day businesses they’ll be less willing to buy yearlings.”

Indeed, it seems unlikely that Baden-Baden will witness the same frenetic level of trade as it did last year, when the average and median prices soared by around 45 per cent and a new record was set when Godolphin paid €820,000 for a Sea The Stars filly.

“It’s a shame we didn’t have that market in the year we sold two such outstanding fillies as Miss Yoda and Run Wild,” Kredel says with a wry smile.

“But I think we’ll be back to that level of two years ago in this sale.”

All the better for buyers who have the means to participate, though. And Kredel goes on to underscore why no selfrespecting talent scout should ever overlook the BadenBaden stop on the yearling sales grand tour.

“German horses perform well all around the world, as we saw with Waldgeist winning the Arc last year,” he says. “And it’s very telling that some of the top stallions, not least Galileo and Sea The Stars, hail from German families.”

Classic winner: Miss Yoda landed the German Oaks

by Godolphin for Parabellum, a Dubawi colt out of Pacifique, Deauv ille from Ecurie des Monceaux in 2015

Ollie O’Donoghue pinpoints a dozen yearlings who could light up the sales ring at Deauville Lot 1

From English King to Uni Six top performers who came via Arqana English King

3yo b c Camelot-Platonic (Zafonic) This €210,000 colt sold to Jeremy Brummitt in 2018 fuelled long-held Derby dreams for owner Bjorn Nielsen from early stages in his career with trainer Ed Walker, as an impressive winner of a late-season mile and a quarter maiden at Newcastle.

The colt thrust himself to the head of the Epsom market when sweeping clear in the Lingfield Derby Trial and did himself justice, despite circumstances going against him, in the big one, sweating up beforehand and getting going into fifth only when it was all too late.

From a smart staying family and related to Chicquita, there should be more to come as he continues to develop.

Lope Y Fernandez

3 b c Lope De Vega-Black Dahlia (Dansili) A half-brother to Mark Johnston’s shrewdly-bought Dark Vision, whose victory in the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood that summer pushed Lope Y Fernandez skywards, he has made pleasing progress since his valuable transfer from the Monceaux draft, the colt costing MV Magnier €900,000 in 2018 Unlucky to bump into the all-conquering Pinatubo in both the Chesham and Vintage, Lope Y Fernandez managed a deserved Grouprace victory in the Round Tower Stakes at the Curragh.

He placed behind his old rival again in the Prix Jean Prat and has achieved further Group 1 black type in the Irish Guineas and Maurice de Gheest.

Mackinnon Stakes in Australia, going down a short head in the Hong Kong Cup, and accruing prize-money of almost £4 million.

Magic Wand

Sottsass

5 b m Galileo-Prudenzia (Dansili) Another Monceaux offering from its marvellous mare Prudenzia, already the dam of Irish Oaks winner Chicquita, she was always a filly that Coolmore would have wanted to have, and was duly hammered down to a combination of Peter and Ross Doyle, MV Magnier and the Mayfair Speculators in 2016 for €1,400,000 Even in the deep file of Aidan O’Brien’s robust fillies, Magic Wand stands apart from almost any, making a sole start at two but ending up running nine times at three with a Ribblesdale win and nearmisses in the Prix Vermeille and Opera.

She exceeded that by running for virtually the entire 2019 calendar year, finishing second again in the Pegasus World Cup Turf and competing across entire continents, finally breaking her Group 1 duck in the

4 ch c Siyouni-Starlet’s Sister (Galileo) In 2017, when a €340,000 purchase by Oceanic Bloodstock, Peter Brant’s White Birch Farm had recently bought into this colt’s sibling Sistercharlie, seeing her finish second in the Prix de Diane in its green silks before collecting an astonishing series of Grade 1s for Chad Brown on the US Turf.

Ecurie des Monceaux’s family also features another Brant acquisition, rising star mare My Sister Nat, and the strapping Sottsass remains a more than worthwhile purchase.

After a quiet juvenile campaign, he burst on to the scene as a three-year-old by lowering the colours of Persian King in the Prix du Jockey Club and finishing an honourable third to Waldgeist in the Arc. He has added to his Group 1 tally in the Prix Ganay and continues to hint at more to come.

Terebellum

4 br f Sea The StarsMarvada (Elusive City) Grove Stud’s enterprising decision to offer the filly at Arqana paid off for both parties as

she has become the standout performer from a mare whose family traces to the Prix Morny winner Charge D’Affaires.

Not seen at two, Terebellum (below), who cost Godolphin €400,000 here in 2017, made her first impact back in France when John Gosden sent her over to lift the Group 2 Prix de la Nonette, before she finished a close fifth in the Prix de l’Opera.

Even better at four, she took the Dahlia at Newmarket in ready style before going down by just a head in a mighty battle with Circus Maximus for the Queen Anne

Uni

6 ch m More Than ReadyUnaided (Dansili) Haras d’Etreham retained ownership of their filly after she passed through the ring in 2015 – Channel Consignment signed the docket at €40,000 – and sent her to Fabrice Chappet, for whom she rose through the ranks to land a Listed race at Maisons-Laffitte before moving to Chad Brown and a new ownership syndicate.

Uni has established herself among the most reliable turf milers on the scene, scooping both the Matriarch and First Lady Stakes at Grade 1 level, before delivering a showstopping run in the Breeders’ Cup Mile at Santa Anita last November.

She has been kept in training at six and ought to be set for another rewarding autumn campaign.

TOM PEACOCK

b f Lope De Vega-Xaarienne (Xaar) Consigned by Ballylinch Stud John O’Connor of Ballylinch Stud, the breeder of this Lope De Vega filly, will have watched on with satisfaction as her year-older Kendargent half-sister See The Rose made it three from three in the Group 3 Prix Six Perfections at Deauville at the beginning of the month.

O’Connor also bred See The Rose, who fetched €180,000 from Blandford Bloodstock at this sale last year, while Guy Pariente managed to breed the stakes performers Mont Kiara and Xaarino from the same mare Xaarienne, a Listedplaced great-granddaughter of the Group 2 winner and Prix Vermeille second Salpinx.

As the first lot through the ring, this Lope De Vega filly is sure to get the sale off to a flying start, while her sire fielded his 11th top-flight winner when Lucky Vega struck in the Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh this month.

Lot 30 b c Frankel-Baltic Baroness (Shamardal) Consigned by Gestut Ammerland Offered by his breeder, this son of dual world champion Frankel is the second foal out of Baltic Baroness, a top-class racemare and winner of the Prix Vermeille in 2014.

The ten-year-old daughter of Shamardal has already shown promise in her second career as a broodmare with Baltic Gold – her first foal by Golden Horn – unbeaten in two starts after winning a Class 1 race over an extended mile and a half at Deauville since the catalogue was printed.

Baltic Baroness is the best of six black-type performers out of the winning Sadler’s Wells mare Born Wild. She in turn is out of Gestut Ammerland’s homebred Borgia, an exceptional racemare who became the first filly to win the Deutsches Derby in 42 years when landing the race in 1997, before adding her name to the Grosser Preis von Baden roll of honour.

Lot 46 b f Muhaarar-Chanterelle (Trempolino) Consigned by Haras du Mezeray Updates have flown thick and fast for this homebred Muhaarar filly from Haras du Mezeray, a half-sister to Enbihaar who recorded her fifth Pattern win when landing the Group 2 Lonsdale Cup over an extended two miles at York.

The daughter of Redoute’s Choice is also a dual winner of the Group 2 Lillie Langtry Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.

This filly shares her granddam, the Prix Maurice de Gheest heroine Spectacular Joke, with the 1,000 Guineas third Vista Bella and looks likely to end up on many buyers’ shortlists.

Second-crop sire Muhaarar was a four-time Group 1-winning sprinter and has fielded five stakes performers to date, including the smart fillies Albaflora, Paix and Unforgetable.

Lot 100 b f Galileo-Giofra (Dansili) Consigned by Haras de la Perelle Falmouth Stakes scorer Giofra hit the heights at Group 1 level for her owner-breeder Haras de la Perelle, who will send her second daughter – a Galileo filly – through the ring three years after her Dubawi colt Al Batter topped the sale when hammered down to Kerri Radcliffe for €1.55 million.

Giofra, who is out of the Group 3 Prestige Stakes scorer Gracefully, also had yearlings sold at Arqana for €600,000 and €320,000 the past two years.

Dansili has carved out a fine reputation as a broodmare sire, with his daughters having produced the likes of Chicquita, Dream Of Dreams, Expert Eye, Magic Wand and Uni.

Lot 144 b c Frankel-Macheera (Machiavellian) Consigned by Ballylinch Stud Among the standout pedigrees is this Frankel half-brother to the Group 1-winning miler and sire Al Wukair out of the winning Machiavellian mare Macheera, a daughter of the French Oaks heroine Caerlina.

The colt, bred and raised at Ballylinch Stud, is a halfbrother to the Group 3 Autumn Stakes second Dream Today and the Listed-placed

15

Racing Post Thursday, August 27, 2020

Witches Brew, with the latter the dam of Group 3 Prestige Stakes scorer Antonia De Vega.

Macheera has a two-yearold Siyouni filly named Casimia in training with Robert Collet, while Frankel has previously combined with a daughter of Machiavellian to produce the Group 2 juvenile winner and Irish Derby second Rostropovich.

Lot 173 b f Churchill-New Orchid (Quest For Fame) Consigned by Haras d’Etreham Few vendors can claim as much success at this sale as Haras d’Etreham, who sold the Arc heroine and breed-shaping mare Urban Sea in 1990 and the European champion and sire Almanzor – who was bred by the farm – in 2014.

Their draft includes this first-crop daughter of dual Guineas hero Churchill bred

by Barronstown Stud out of the winning Quest For Fame mare New Orchid.

The filly hails from a Juddmonte family that could be considered one of the best in the stud book with top-flight winners appearing under her first three dams.

She is a half-sister to the Haydock Sprint Cup heroine African Rose and the Marcel Boussac second Helleborine, the dam of Coventry Stakes

SUMMER YEARLINGS ARQANA From page 15

scorer and exciting young Coolmore stallion Calyx.

Further back on her page appears the elite winners Distant Music, Vanlandingham and Funny Moon.

Bear in mind though that she is also entered for Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Sale.

Lot 199 b c Galileo-Prudenzia (Dansili) Consigned by Ecurie des Monceaux This Galileo colt is a fullbrother to the globetrotting Magic Wand, winner of the Group 1 Mackinnon Stakes at Flemington and placed in a further nine top-flight races, including the Pegasus World Cup Turf, Hong Kong Cup and Irish Champion Stakes.

The offspring of 15-year-old Dansili mare Prudenzia have brought in total receipts of more than €8m at the Arqana August Yearling Sale down the years, including last year’s sale-topping filly by Dubawi, who went the way of Godolphin for €1.625m. Since named Philomene, she is in training with Andre Fabre.

Prudenzia is also the dam of Montjeu mare Chicquita, the Irish Oaks heroine who set a European auction record when hammered down for €6m at Goffs in 2013.

Lot 239 ch c Teofilo-Silca’s Sister (Inchinor) Consigned by Haras de Grandcamp The progeny of Kildangan Stud stalwart Teofilo have enjoyed a rich vein of form lately with daughter Donjah making her Group 1 breakthrough in the Preis von Europa at Cologne and Gear Up fending off his juvenile rivals in the Group 3 Acomb Stakes at York.

This colt bred by NBH Racing is out of the Prix Morny heroine Silca’s Sister, a halfsister to the Irish 1,000 Guineas second Golden Silca, whose name appears on the Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes roll of honour.

Silca’s Sister has already shown herself to be a capable producer as the mother of Group 3 Horris Hill Stakes second Start Time.

Lot 251 b f Dubawi-Starlet’s Sister (Galileo) Consigned by Ecurie des Monceaux Another lot from Monceaux boasting an iron-clad pedigree is this Dubawi half-sister to last year’s French Derby hero and recent Prix Ganay winner Sottsass, as well as Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf heroine and multiple Grade 1 winner Sistercharlie, and French Group 3 winner My Sister Nat, who this month took the Grade 3 Waya Stakes at Saratoga.

Monceaux’s homebred filly is also a close relative of the Group 3 Prix Cleopatre winner Leo’s Starlet and is bred on the same Dubawi-Galileo cross as Ghaiyyath, Night Of Thunder and Dartmouth.

The filly also has a two-year-

old half-brother by Fastnet Rock named Parliament in training in Britain, having caught the eye of David Redvers at €700,000 at the previous edition of this sale.

Lot 274 b c Almanzor-Unaided (Dansili) Consigned by Haras d’Etreham Leading vendor Haras d’Etreham will present this homebred colt from the first crop of European champion and sire Almanzor, who strung together victories in the Prix du Jockey Club and the Champion Stakes on either side of the Irish Sea. The son of Wootton Bassett stood the past three seasons at a €35,000 fee, while this colt is out of the Dansili mare Unaided, making him a half-brother to the Breeders’ Cup Mile and multiple Grade 1 winner Uni. The colt boasts a stallion’s pedigree and shares his page with the likes of Gustav Klimt, Invincible Spirit, James Garfield, Mishriff and Kodiac, with French Oaks heroine Rafha being out of his greatgranddam Eljazzi.

Lot 277 b c Gleneagles-Venetias Dream (Librettist) Consigned by Haras du Logis Saint Germain Buyers may have missed a trick when Siyouni filly Dream And Do went unsold for €80,000 at this sale in 2018 before going on to land the Poule d’Essai des Poulains this year in the colours of her owner-breeder Haras du Logis Saint Germain.

Her Gleneagles half-brother comes up for auction this year and is sure to have potential purchasers flocking to barn T and box 7, with his secondcrop sire having fielded two Pattern winners to date in the shape of Group 2 scorers Royal Dornoch and Royal Lytham.

What’s more, the colt shares his granddam, the unraced Machiavellian mare Machaera, with the multiple Group 1 winner and sire Charm Spirit.

Lot 286 b c Elvstroem-Watchful (Galileo) Consigned by Haras du Petit Tellier Watch Me – this colt’s older half-sister by Olympic Glory – confirmed her abundant talent when following up on her victory in last year’s Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot by landing the Prix Rothschild over the same mile trip in early August, after which she was retired.

This colt, bred by Haras de Saint Julien, is one of only 20 registered yearlings by his sire Elvstroem, the multiple Group 1 winner by Danehill who relocated to France in 2016, from where he has sent out last year’s Group 2 Prix Robert Papin second My Love’s Passion.

Daughters of Galileo have produced 31 winners at the highest level, with Ghaiyyath providing yet another reminder in the Juddmonte International at York when defeating Magical by three lengths.

Going

it alone ANTOINE BELLANGER

The man behind Arcadia Elevage talks to Scott Burton

I

N EVERY part of the racing and breeding economy – not to mention the world at large – the challenges presented by Covid-19, and the resulting strain on financial resources, have made 2020 a year like no other.

Not, you might think, the most auspicious time for someone to leave one of the most successful and renowned leaders in their field to strike out on their own.

Antoine Bellanger could not have predicted the storms when ending 12 years as head of yearling prep at Ecuries Monceaux to found his own Arcadia Elevage.

Now with the rearranged Arqana Select Yearling sale a matter of a fortnight away, he cuts a calm figure as he puts the finishing touches to a first consignment of seven yearlings.

Not that the idyllic surroundings could do anything but soothe whatever pre-debut nerves might lay under the surface.

Standing in a foaling unit which once housed beef cattle, Bellanger and partner Aline Giraud, a senior member of the marketing team with the Aga Khan Studs, recount how they settled on this slice of Normandy heaven, a place which had an additional burden from its conception.

“The name Arcadia came first and, although it required a little bit of imagination, as soon as we saw this place we felt it had potential,” says Bellanger. “The road up to the property is nice and then it opens out on to a space which kind of dominates the surrounding area.

“It’s flat but we are high up, rather than being down in a valley. That means we get the maximum available light and some breeze as well. It makes it a very healthy environment and there is no humidity.”

Given its previous life – more than 40 years of grazing cattle – there is guaranteed good pasture, while Bellanger and Giraud’s imagination saw past all but two of the original buildings surviving.

Now there are 35 hectares of individual paddocks as well as modern bright and airy barns

and a network of bark-lined pathways.

Bellanger is keen not to be defined solely as a product of Monceaux, although he is the first to acknowledge that it has been a useful calling card, as well as providing him with an excellent base from which to develop his own methods.

“Having seven yearlings in the sale hopefully shows that the faith put in me by my clients was well placed,” says Bellanger. “They undoubtedly knew my work at Monceaux.

But that hallmark of Monceaux was the result of the work of the whole team there. There was Henri Bozo, whose work everyone knows, and a whole team which feeds into their results.

“I don’t pretend that sending a horse to me means you are getting the same as at Monceaux, that wouldn’t be true. There are things that are different here, in terms of the land, the pasture and the infrastructure. My clients know the work will be different here, so it is a mark of their faith.

“Obviously I have been inspired by my time at Monceaux in terms of techniques when it comes to yearling preparation. But it’s great that people have been prepared to gamble on me and on the property. I hope it will pay off for them.”

Has he found attracting clients in such a turbulent climate difficult? Bellanger turns the question on himself, asking why anyone would take a chance on him.

“Several foals came to us in December straight from the sales and that makes up part of the draft,” he continues.

“A fair few of our clients come from abroad and several sent their mares or foals on to us after coverings by Normandy stallions. It’s a very dynamic scene.”

Bellanger was tasked at Monceaux with preparing the ‘millionaire babies’ that so frequently dominated the upper reaches of the Arqana August sale.

What are his expectations when it comes to the debut of the Arcadia draft, and what would success look like in his eyes?

“A good first year would be to have clients who are satisfied,” answers Bellanger.

“We know it will be a tough market and the breeders are aware of that, which has had an effect on the sorts of reserves that have been set.

But these are investments for some of our clients and you

have to ensure they don’t lose out. They have been reasonable in their expectations and I hope for a dynamic market where everyone will fight hard to get horses sold.

“We have had some visits already and people are beginning to get organised. It requires a bit of juggling because we need to get the veterinary checks and x-rays, while at the same time we are fine-tuning the presentation of the horses while continuing to work them.

“It requires plenty of organisation of staff time. With relatively little time left it can feel a little bit like an approaching wave about to break. But it’s the same for everyone.”

Whatever shape success takes for Arcadia in their first foray at Arqana’s premier offering – one which will be followed with indecent haste by a draft of ten yearlings for the October sale – Bellanger is

determined to stick close to one founding principle learned at the side of Bozo: never outgrow the land available.

Each one of the five yearling colts soon heading to Arqana has their own paddock, while the two inseparable fillies in the consignment have the run of their own enormous field.

“The target at Monceaux was always to develop the farm in terms of size and quantity but never to become enormous,” says Bellanger.

“There has always been a rigorous selection of broodmares there. Monceaux always viewed excellence as the goal and made a virtue of quality over quantity.

“We have 35 hectares and one of my basic tenets is to always pay attention to the number of horses we have. I don’t want to be sending 30 horses per sale, and so ten yearlings for August and 15 in October would suit me perfectly. That is compatible

Racing Post Thursday, August 27, 2020

Bellanger on Arcadia’s first consignment Lot 33 A colt by Territories

who has made a good start to his career as a stallion. He’s good-looking with some size and walks very well.

110 A lovely Air Force Blue colt who carries the stamp of his maternal sire, Verglas. He is very fit and moves well, while he is the first produce of a black type mare. He ticks a lot of boxes and I hope he will be really popular. It is a slightly exotic mating and Verglas is a very good broodmare sire.

275 A great-looking colt by

Dark Angel from an Aga Khan family and under the second dam you find Valia, who is a serious candidate for the Prix Vermeille. The dam is by Sea The Stars and he is very welldeveloped with a great walk.

He was bought at the December sale and has been raised here.

282 A bit of a change of

discipline next with a speedy sire in Kodiac. This colt really has that sprinter/two-year-old model, with a shorter back and powerful back-end. He walks well and has a very attractive head. He should catch the eye of trainers looking for precocity and speed.

389 A very well-developed,

SUMMER YEARLINGS TATTERSALLS IRELAND

Dandalla the latest high-profile recruit from the September Sale TATTERSALLS IRELAND SEPTEMBER YEARLING SALE When Monday and Tuesday, September 21-

22; Part 2 on Wednesday, September 23 Where Tattersalls, Park Paddocks, Newmarket CB8 9AY 2019 results From 451 offered, 388 sold (86%) for turnover of €9,415,500 (-10%), an average of €24,267 (-5%) and a median of €20,000 (unchanged)

NEWMARKET

Dandalla (far side) sticks her neck out to win the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes at Newmarket in July, a fine recommendation for the September Yearling Sale

Dandalla

2yo b f Dandy Man-Chellalla (Elnadim) Dandalla is an outstanding advertisement for the September Yearling Sale.

Bought by Kelly Burke from The Castlebridge Consignment for just €22,000, she has been sent out by the buyer’s father Karl to win all her first three starts - a Newcastle maiden, the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot and the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes.

Karl Burke has said of the star two-year-old “she’s tough and a very high-quality filly” and furthermore “my daughter Lucy has earmarked her since Christmas – she rides her out 90 per cent of the time and she actually came in one day and said, ‘I hate to say it but she really reminds me of Laurens’.”

Dandalla’s exploits should ensure that her half-sister by Divine Prophet will be hot property when she is sent through the ring at Newmarket

by Newtownbarry House Stud on behalf of breeder Robert Norton in the coming weeks.

She is lot 83.

Dandalla’s sire Dandy Man, meanwhile, has 14 yearlings on offer at Tattersalls Ireland’s premier event, including six from his home operation of Ballyhane.

Marie’s Diamond

4yo b/br c FootstepsinthesandSindiyma (Kalanisi) Marie’s Diamond has put up the two best efforts of his career this year by winning the Paradise Stakes and running third to Circus Maximus in the Queen Anne Stakes.

The four-year-old was selected by Federico Barberini and Middleham Park Racing at

the September Yearling Sale, where he cost just €35,000 from the Airlie Stud draft.

Footstepsinthesand has enjoyed something of a renaissance in recent seasons thanks not only to Marie’s Diamond but also Mums Tipple and Threat.

Coolmore’s veteran sire has 15 individuals who hold an appointment with the auctioneer at Newmarket.

They include Torard House Stud’s colt out of Keyta Bonita, a winning half-sister to Footstepsinthesand’s Group 3-winning daughter Sandiva (216), and Church View Stables’ half-sister to this season’s Coventry Stakes runner-up Qaader (337).

Maystar

3yo b g Mayson-Oakley Star (Multiplex) Originally a €38,000 September Yearling Sale purchase by JB Bloodstock and resold to Blandford Bloodstock at the Goresbridge Breeze-Up Sale for €35,000, Maystar has given his owners Hambleton Racing plenty of fun.

The Mayson gelding has been sent out by Archie Watson to win five of his 13 starts, enjoying decent paydays for winning the Al Rayyan Stakes in Qatar and running second in the Tattersalls Ireland Super Auction Sale Stakes at two.

He broke through at stakes level on his last start, taking the Prix Moonlight Cloud at Deauville, and was due to go through the ring at the Tattersalls August Horses in Training Sale as we went to press.

Mayson is really making a name for himself as a useful

gr c Mastercraftsman-Zain Art (Excellent Art) Consigned by Collegelands Stud Twelve months ago Fozzy Stack teamed up with De Burgh Equine to purchase a daughter of Starspangledbanner and the unraced Excellent Art mare Zain Art for €67,000 from Fairyhouse. The trainer has since sent out the filly, named Aloha Star, to win the Airlie Stud Stakes and run third in the Phoenix Stakes.

Collegelands Stud, who sold Aloha Star as a foal, are presenting the exciting filly’s half-brother at this year’s September Yearling Sale. He is

by Mastercraftsman, source of 14 Group/Grade 1 winners worldwide.

value sire, helped in no small part by the success of son Oxted in the July Cup. Two by the Cheveley Park Stud-based son of Invincible Spirit are available at Newmarket, including Grangemore Stud’s colt out of the winning Rip Van Winkle mare Idealist, a relation to top sprinters Danehurst and Hooray (190).

Rose Of Kildare

3yo b f Make Believe-Cruck Realta (Sixties Icon) Rose Of Kildare must qualify as one of the biggest bargains not just from the September Yearling Sale but from any auction in recent years.

The three-year-old filly from the first crop of Make Believe was purchased by her trainer Mark Johnston from the Oghill House Stud draft for only €3,000.

She won five of her 12 starts in a busy two-year-old season that stretched from April to October and culminated in victories in the Firth of Clyde Stakes and Oh So Sharp Stakes.

Rose Of Kildare has proved in recent months that she is no one-season wonder, running third in the German 1,000 Guineas and Princess Elizabeth Stakes and landing the Musidora Stakes by two and a half lengths.

Her rags to riches story continued with Qatar Racing’s decision to purchase her as a broodmare prospect this summer, although she will continue to carry the silks of the Kingsley Park 14.

There are five yearlings by Make Believe, whose debut runners also count Prix du Jockey Club hero Mishriff among their number, in the September Yearling Sale. They

include another filly from Oghill House Stud: a half-sister to winner Faerie Laws out of Tobair An Sheeda, a Bachelor Duke half-sister to Group scorers Anam Allta, Fox Hunt and Opinion (419).

Soffia

5yo br m Kyllachy-Rime A Rien (Amadeus Wolf) From bargain foal to Juddmonte broodmare and a mating with Frankel: it has been quite the Cinderella story for Soffia.

The daughter of Kyllachy was bought by Amy Lynam for 16,000gns as a foal at Tattersalls and resold by Grove Stud to BBA Ireland for €52,000 at the September Yearling Sale.

After rising through the handicap ranks for Eddie Lynam at three, she proved herself one of the best sprinters of either sex at four last year – not least with her three and a half-length victory over El Astronaute in the Sapphire Stakes.

Originally raced by Lady O’Reilly, it emerged that she had been sold to join Juddmonte and been sent to the brilliant Frankel this year.

That will be a foal to look forward to when he or she makes it to the racecourse.

Kyllachy yearlings are, alas, a thing of the past but his son Twilight Son has made a pleasing start with his debut two-year-olds this season.

There are two by Twilight Son available at Tattersalls Ireland’s premier yearling auction, including Ballyreddin and Kellsgrange Studs’ colt who is a half-brother to two winners out of Foot Of Pride, a winning Footstepsinthesand mare related to Barney Roy and Gordon Lord Byron (159).

Time Warp

7yo ch g Archipenko-Here To Eternity (Stormy Atlantic) There can be few higher earning graduates of the September Yearling Sale than Time Warp, whose prizemoney haul now stands at nearly £3.9 million.

The seven-year-old won the Hong Kong Cup and Gold Cup for Tony Cruz in his pomp, and proved he had lost none of his ability or enthusiasm by taking the scalp of odds-on Exultant in this year’s Gold Cup at Sha Tin. He was first sourced by Jeremy Brummitt from the Staffordstown draft at Tattersalls Ireland for the remarkable sum of €37,000 and was a dual Listed winner in France for Sir Mark Prescott before his private sale to Hong Kong.

Time Warp is a brother to another Hong Kong Cup hero in Glorious Forever, but sadly there are no more opportunities to buy yearlings by the siblings’ late sire Archipenko.

There are, however, two chances to buy a lot by Time Warp’s consignor Staffordstown at the September Yearling Sale.

Both (lots 28 and 31) are Bobby’s Kitten fillies out of winning daughters of none other than Archipenko.

b f Fascinating Rock-Anam Allta (Invincible Spirit) Consigned by Ballylinch Stud Ballylinch Stud tends to give its home stallions every chance of success with strong support from its own broodmare band.

That much is in evidence with this filly from the second crop of multiple Group 1 winner Fascinating Rock.

She is out of Concorde Stakes scorer Anam Allta, a half-sister to high-class stayers Fox Hunt and Opinion from a family carefully nurtured by Ballylinch for decades. Her first four dams – Anam Allta, Kiltubber, Priory Belle and Ingabelle – are all stakes winners.

Lot 50 b c Exceed And Excel-Betty Loch (Pivotal) Consigned by Monksland Stables Quite how the vendors managed to pinhook this colt as a foal for just 20,000gns is a mystery as he holds plenty of appeal on paper.

He is by the venerable Exceed And Excel, source of 15 Group 1 winners across both hemispheres, out of Betty Loch, a winning daughter of damsire par excellence Pivotal and Listed scorer Etive. His profile has been boosted recently by the emergence of exciting Superlative Stakes winner Master Of The Seas under the third dam.

Lot 72 ch c Red Jazz-Bulrushes (Byron) Consigned by Bluegate Stud Bulrushes has been a phenomenal mare for Bluegate Stud. The Byron half-sister to Lennox Stakes winner Tariq

Racing Post Thursday, August 27, 2020

A dozen lots sure to raise a smile Jim Crowley after winning the Gimcrack Stakes on Minzaal

was bought for the minimum bid of 800gns but has produced stakes winners Ross Castle, Snazzy Jazzy and Ten Year Ticket as well as Group 3-placed Admiral Rous and prolific Scandinavian scorer Dancewithastranger.

This colt, a brother to Group 3-winning sprinter Snazzy Jazzy being by Red Jazz, is Bluegate Stud’s last produce from Bulrushes, as she was sold privately to Al Wasmiyah Farm and has visited Dark Angel and Night Of Thunder in the past two seasons.

Lot 98 b f Kingman-Continental Drift (Smart Strike) Consigned by The Castlebridge Consignment A pair of fillies by Kingman bring a touch of class to the catalogue. This one, from The Castlebridge Consignment, has a big update to her page to boot as a sister to Masen, winner of a Leopardstown maiden on debut in July and a close third, after finding trouble in running, in the Tyros Stakes in recent weeks.

This is an exceptional Juddmonte family; the winning dam Continental Drift is by Smart Strike out of Intercontinental, a Grade 1-winning sister to Banks Hill, Champs Elysees, Dansili and co.

Lot 165 ch c Teofilo-Gearanai (Toccet) Consigned by Boherguy Stud The Newmarket draft being expertly prepared by Clare Manning of Boherguy Stud contains several lots with bloodlines showcased successfully by her legendary grandfather Jim Bolger.

They include this colt by Bolger’s unbeaten champion two-year-old Teofilo - source of 18 top-level winners, don’t forget - out of the Toccet mare Gearanai, making him a brother to Mark Johnston’s recent Acomb Stakes winner Gear Up as well as Guaranteed, sent out from Coolcullen to claim Group 3 honours in the Eyrefield Stakes.

Lot 224 ch c Australia-La Spezia (Danehill Dancer) Consigned

by Mount Coote Stud Any buyer wanting to lay his or her hands on a potential topclass stayer or dual-purpose prospect should check out this colt from Mount Coote Stud.

He is by dual Derby hero Australia out of Pretty Polly Stakes third La Spezia, meaning he is a half-brother to Doncaster Cup victor and classy hurdler Thomas Hobson.

The dam is a Danehill Dancer half-sister to Grade 1-placed chaser Torphichen from the family of Oaks heroine Talent.

Lot 309

ch c Dandy Man-Light Sea (King’s Best) Consigned by Vinesgrove Stud This Dandy Man colt’s brother Squats is displayed on the catalogue page in bold lowercase thanks to his third place in Listed company, but that does not quite do the sibling justice as he earned RPRs in excess of 105 five times thanks to big runs in valuable handicaps.

Vinesgrove Stud’s offering is also a half-brother to Nottingham maiden winner Angel Grace out of a King’s Best half-sister to dual Betfred Mile scorer Hurricane Alan and dual Cesarewitch winner Aaim To Prosper.

Lot 244

Lot 375

b f Lope De Vega-Lorgnette (Galileo) Consigned by Portlester Stud A true one-off in the September Yearling Sale catalogue as the only lot by the brilliant Lope De Vega on offer.

Portlester Stud’s filly is the second produce of Lorgnette, a daughter of Galileo and Group 3-placed Dance Secretary, who in turn is a Danehill Dancer half-sister to Grade 1 scorer Perfect Soul. There are few weak links in this pedigree.

Lot 306 b f Kodiac-Oui Say Oui (Royal Applause) Consigned by Croom House Stud There is quality top to bottom

the European Champion miler at both three and four. Broke his maiden in the G2 Gimcrack and progressed to four G1 triumphs and a Royal Ascot track record. By the sire of leading stallion Wootton Bassett.

in the pedigree of this Kodiac filly from noted nursery Croom House Stud starting with her dam Oui Say Oui, a Debutante Stakes runner-up who is obviously highly thought of as her progeny record includes foals by no less than Fastnet Rock, Scat Daddy and Sea The Stars.

The dam is a Royal Applause half-sister to stakes winners Eye Of The Storm, Mohican Heights and Satchem, and further back it is the family of top-class sisters Sally Brown, Shoot Clear and Untold. b f Tamayuz-Pardoven (Clodovil) Consigned by Coole House Farm Tamayuz has never had the largest racecourse representation due to subfertility, but he has nevertheless been a consistent source of high-class performers – think G Force, Mustashry and Precieuse.

The Derrinstown Stud sire has just the one yearling engaged in Newmarket, and the filly in question just happens to have a significant pedigree update. She is a halfsister to Shadwell’s two-yearold colt Minzaal, the widemargin winner of a Salisbury novice stakes before following up in the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes at York.

Lot 238

Ribchester,

b c Fastnet Rock-Sheba Five (Five Star Day) Consigned by Baroda Stud The first three dams of this Fastnet Rock colt have all produced stakes winners. He is a half-brother to Belmont Gold Cup hero Amade and Atalanta Stakes scorer Nakuti, out of the placed Five Star Day mare Sheba Five.

Sheba Five is a half-sister to multiple Listed winner/Group 2 runner-up Arch Rebel and US Listed winner On My Dime, and she is in turn out of Sheba’s Step, an Alysheba halfsister to stakes winners Seattle Pattern and Total Bull. Sheba’s Step’s dam was Hollywood Oaks heroine Pattern Step.

Kimberley Priori finds out about the broadcaster’s yearling draft

I

F THE saying rings true that persistence pays off, Kevin Blake is reaping the rewards of his labour in racing parlance.

He is a broadcaster, race planner for Joseph O’Brien and an award-winning writer, and his homebred winner of the Group 2 Robert Papin, Ventura Tormenta, is sure to have registered with fellow small breeders, a benchmark for what meticulous pedigree study and stallion selection can realise for those operating on not the biggest of budgets.

This autumn, County Tipperary-based Blake can look forward to another phase of the breeding cycle, by way of two Elzaam colts on offer at the forthcoming Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling sale.

Both are offered by esteemed consignor Tinnakill House, and Blake says: “I’ve been keen on Elzaam for a long time. The curve of his progression as a stallion is very similar to what Dandy Man was showing at a similar stage of his career. “His runners from the bigger and better crops of mares he covered a few years ago have started to fire this year and I think he will become more

widely appreciated by the market in time, as Dandy Man did. He has the ability to – and is – upgrading his mares.�

Blake (above right) has already had success with Elzaam, with Mutahaady – who Blake consigned himself to realise the highest ever price for a foal by Elzaam, â‚Ź82,000 – and Daddies Girl winning 12 races between them and both achieving official ratings in the 90s in Britain. “There can be a slight lag waiting for those better mares to uplift the stallion, but Elzaam is proven to upgrade his earlier, more modest books,â€? enthuses Blake.

Elzaam’s recent sale statistics corroborate Blake’s findings, yielding a top 2019 yearling price of £62,000 and a combined yearling average of £14,553 over the last five years – all from a modest ₏4,000 stud fee.

Elzaam’s WH Bloodstockconsigned £62,000 colt was signed for by renowned pinhooker Bobby O’Ryan, in conjunction with Middleham Park Racing and trainer Joseph O’Brien at last year’s renewal of the Goffs UK Premier yearling sale.

The stallion’s propensity to realise both racehorses and commercial sale prospects are key drivers behind Blake’s latest offerings.

Lot 69 at the sale, which is now taking place at Park Paddocks in Newmarket, is an Elzaam colt out of the Camacho mare Brown Bee, from the family of Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Just The Judge. “She is a notably good-

looking mare and she throws them that way,� says Blake. “Darley Japan bought her first foal by Raven’s Pass. He suffered a fracture as a twoyear-old, but hopefully he will get out on the track soon, as we hear he has impressed with his work. “His Elzaam half-brother is a solid colt and striking mover, with good strong bone and all the points you look for in a runner.�

Another astute homebred is catalogued as lot 366, a grey Elzaam colt out of Group 3 Prestige Stakes-winning mare Sesmen, who was bred by snooker champion-turned bloodstock consultant Peter Ebdon.

An example of a shrewd mare purchase at â‚Ź9,000 at the 2016 Goffs November Breeding Stock sale, Blake explains the acquisition of one of his select broodmare band, saying: “I bought Sesmen as an older mare when she was barren.

She had been a little bit unlucky in that her best runner had been retired through injury after just three starts before she could realise her full potential. “While she was barren when I bought her, her breeding record had been particularly good prior to that, so I thought she was worth giving another chance to at the money. Her Elzaam colt is solid in every way and looks a racehorse.�

While the Anglo-Irish stallion pool is generally accustomed to reverence, even the leading lights by the cheaper, less-fashionable sires do not always end up shining

21

Racing Post Thursday, August 27, 2020

smaller breeder as big a light on them as is deserved, according to Blake, who explains: “The international markets are so strong that when horses by lower-profile stallions that haven’t cost much as yearlings start to show promise on the track, it is difficult for their connections to turn down the offers that come from abroad.

“Even if a stallion’s progeny do well out in Hong Kong or elsewhere, it doesn’t have the same sort of impact as it would if they enjoyed similar success in Britain or Ireland.

Rightly or wrongly, it is often a case of out of sight, out of mind.”

H

E CONTINUES: “Like Dandy Man at a similar stage of his career, Elzaam has experienced this issue.

Playa Del Puente was moved to Hong Kong, Mjjack was sent to Saudi Arabia and Coolagh Forest went to Bahrain. Those are three of his four highestrated horses, and there have been others too. It just tends to slow down the domestic market’s appreciation of the stallion’s true merit.”

Such support of proven sires arguably provides a rather refreshing contrast to the increasingly fashion-led market – and what of the market generally, and its resilient community, in the face of Covid-19 and its effects?

“I’d have thought it inevitable there’d be a drop in the foal crop of 2021, but I don’t think we will see the full extent of the impact for a little while as the Covid crisis only really kicked up a gear in the middle of the breeding season, when most decisions regarding coverings would have already been made,” answers Blake.

“We are unlikely to see the full impact of it until the foal crop of 2022.

“A downturn in economic terms inevitably leads to a reduction in foal crops and sales aggregates, so that has to be expected, unfortunately.

“It’s a natural part of the cycle; that the quality is replenished when a slight cull to the number of mating plans happen.”

A common hallmark among eminent breeders is an appreciation of the young horse. Such advantages afforded by breeding, as

‘It’s a pleasure to have someone who has bought a foal or yearling from you come back later and be complimentary about the horse’s manners’

opposed to pinhooking from weanling stage, start with horse husbandry practices as a newborn.

“We do our best at home to instil good behaviour in the foals, as that will serve them later and can only help them to reach their full potential,” says Blake.

“I live right in the middle of the farm here and I really enjoy the hands-on side of handling the foals and educating them.

“It’s a real pleasure to have someone who has bought a foal or yearling from you come back later and be complimentary about the horse’s manners and temperament.

“As breeders, we don’t have as much control as we’d like over how much ability our horses will have, but we do have a lot of control over the quality of education we give them, so I believe it’s important to do as good a job as possible on that front.”

What buying orders has Blake assigned himself for the 2020 sales that lie ahead?

“There are plans to grow,” he says. “I’ve spent the last number of years steadily upgrading and expanding the farm here and it’s now ready to take in bigger numbers. From here, it’s just about getting the timing and execution right in that expansion.”

However Blake’s signed dockets take shape as the sales season rolls on, for any emerging breeder or pedigree researcher, keeping tabs on one of the industry’s most respected analytical minds will be a worthwhile exercise.
