filly makes big impression what's on race meetings: at …€¦ · 22/09/2020 · given her chance...

Enthaar (Written Tycoon) will be

given her chance to provide Emirates

Park with its third Golden Slipper

Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) win after the

homebred filly set the benchmark at the official

Sydney two-year-old barrier trials yesterday,

running the fastest time of the session and also

becoming the probable favourite for the state’s

opening juvenile race of the season, the ATC

Gimcrack Stakes (Gr 3, 1000m).

The Ciaron Maher and David Eustace-

trained Enthaar was arguably the most

impressive two-year-old to trial on the

Kensington track in which she won heat five by

four and three-quarter lengths.

Enthaar ran an even 50 seconds for the

850-metre barrier trial and her last 600 metres

in 33.74 seconds, the quickest of the ten heats

run, which included an open event won by

Libertini (I Am Invincible) who stopped the

clock at 50.13 seconds.

of the Written Tycoon (Iglesia) filly did not

come as a surprise to Emirates Park general manager Bryan Carlson.

“She’s a lovely type and Ciaron and David have quietly liked her for a

while, so it is good to get her to the trials and show it and for a homebred

too, that’s the main thing,” Carlson told ANZ Bloodstock News.

“(Emirates Park) always keeps a few fillies every year on pedigree and

type, so she’s one we decided to keep last year. I don’t think she was even

entered for a sale.”

Broken in at Muskoka Farm, Enthaar was identified as a filly who would

be suited by the set-up and training style undertaken by Maher and Eustace.

“This is her third time

back to Sydney, so she’s well

travelled, and very mature

and looks to be switched on,”

Carlson continued.

“When you’re taking on

horses outside the stable, it’s the

next step up, really, and today

there were a lot of (talented)

horses around. It’s nice for her

to be out at this time of the year

and she seems to have coped

with it.

“To have that mentality, you can’t ask for more than that, so it’s

exciting.”

The ATC Gimcrack Stakes for two-year-old fillies at Randwick on

October 3 appears the logical starting point for Enthaar and from there

Carlson hopes a plan can be mapped out for her to target the Slipper.

“We will take her run by run and the aim will be to try and get enough prize-

money early, so we don’t have to put pressure on her in January or February (to be

high enough up the ballot order),” he said.

“She’s the standout so far (of Emirates

Park’s two-year-olds) but the others haven’t really been pushed at this

stage and we’ve only got a very small two-year-old crop.”

Emirates Park won the 2014 Slipper with Mossfun (Mossman)

and the 2018 edition with $1.7 million Inglis Easter yearling Estijaab

(Snitzel).

Enthaar is a daughter of the winning mare Final Agreement (Not A

Single Doubt) who is a sister to Group 1 winner Secret Agenda and the

Peter and Paul Snowden-trained stakes-placed Stellar Pauline as well as

a sibling to the stakes-placed Donandkim (Smart Missile) and Sweetener

(Snitzel). Final Agreement was purchased by Emirates Park for $400,000

from the 2016 Magic Millions Gold Coast National Broodmare Sale. Final

Agreement has a yearling colt by I Am Invincible (Invincible Spirit) and

has been covered by Newgate Farm first season sire Tassort (Brazen Beau)

this season.

“We loved the mare as a yearling, which is why we went back and

bought her when she went through the sales as a broodmare prospect,”

Carlson said.

“We sent her down to Written Tycoon a few years ago and Enthaar is

the result. As much as we like buying a good one, we also want to breed

one.

“Final Agreement has got a colt yearling who will most likely go to Easter

and she missed last year, but she’s been covered by Tassort.”

Three first season sires on the board

Earlier, it was Golden Slipper winner Capitalist (Written Tycoon)

who made an immediate statement in the first juvenile heat when his son

Kalashnikov put a margin on his rivals in heat two, scoring by five lengths

in a time of 50.53 seconds.

Fellow first season stallions, Vinery Stud’s Star Turn (Star Witness)

and Arrowfield Stud shuttler Maurice (Screen Hero), also sired winners at

the Kensington session.

Kalashnikov, one of three colts owned by James Harron Bloodstock to

trial yesterday, ran 33.92 seconds for the last 600 metres in the 850-metre

barrier trial to set himself up for a tilt at the ATC

Breeders’ Plate (Gr 3, 1000m), the colts

and geldings race, at Randwick on October 3.

“It was a really good morning and I was delighted to obviously kick

things off with a Capitalist and we’re quite excited about that horse. He

has been showing Peter and Paul a lot at home, so it was great to see him

go there and do so well,” Harron told ANZ Bloodstock News.

“On first glance, he seems to have come through it really well. He took

it all in his stride. He handled the day brilliantly well and we will know a

lot more in the morning when he is checked over, but so far, so good, and

hopefully press on to the Breeders’ Plate.

“He was a wee bit new to it and Hugh (Bowman, jockey) gave him a

little reminder to pick up and change gear and I was really pleased to see

that last 600 metres.

“He was really good and kept building and was strong through the line.”

Sold by Segenhoe Stud at the Magic Millions in January for $600,000,

the colt was purchased by James Harron Bloodstock on behalf of a colts

syndicate. He is the second foal out of the winning mare Rough Ride

(Flying Spur), herself a half-sister to Queensland Derby (Gr 1, 2400m)

winner Eagle Way (More Than Ready) and stakes winners Assertive Eagle

(Danewin), Impressive Eagle (Rubiton) and Soaressa (Twining). Rough

Ride has a yearling filly by Shalaa (Invincible Spirit) and is due to foal to

Hellbent (I Am Invincible) next month.

Harron said: “There’s obviously a huge connection there, having

purchased him, but we bought this horse on his merits. He is an

outstanding physical, a real early looking type with a nice pedigree behind

him, so it was a real bonus that he was by Capitalist.”

Another Harron-selected colt by a first season sire, Star Turn’s

Astrologer, also took out heat ten after a slow get away, an effort that

pleased the agent given the colt’s recent development.

After being slowly away, Astrologer picked up ground under Kerrin McEvoy

before going on to score by a length and a quarter over Almahero (Al Maher) in

51.2 seconds and his last 700 metres in 35.65 seconds over 845 metres.

“I was really pleased with him. He’s done quite a bit of growing and

he’s got a nice length and scope about him,” Harron said.

“I think he’s an improving type of horse. I was pleased to see, even

though he was a little slow away, that he showed good racing racing

manners to be able to come through the pack and score late. The time

wasn’t that fast but he did it with his ears pricked.”

A $300,000 purchase. Astrologer is out of the unraced Fast ‘N’ Witty

(Fastnet Rock) who is a sister to the stakes-placed Fast Talker, herself the

dam of Listed winer Persuader (Zoustar) and the Tony Gollan-trained The

Actuary (Sebring) who won The Phoenix (Listed, 1615m) as a two-year-

old last season. Fast ‘N’ Witty has a yearling filly by Hellbent but did not

get in foal last year.

“We very much picked these horses out on physical type and ended

up with one Star Turn which I really like and it was nice to see him deliver

today,” he said.

“We’ve got a few by first season sires this year. They’ve been holding

their own in the past couple of years and I think there’s a great selection of

young stallions, so we’ve picked the eyes out of them and we’re very happy

to pick one up (by Star Turn).”

Maurice’s Medad (Maurice), who was having his second trial, won

heat six.

Harron also had the Snowden-trained Oblique (I Am Invincible), a

$260,000 yearling from the Gold Coast, finish one and a half lengths from

the winner Retrieval (Medaglia d’Oro) in heat eight when fifth.

“The penny probably hasn’t quite dropped with him yet. He’s been

a bit slow out in his jump-outs at home and he was just a bit slow again

today,” he revealed.

“We will just see how he comes through it. If he was going to go to the

races, he’d probably need to have another trial.

“He is still carrying a little bit of excess and he’s quite a good-doing

colt, so we’ll work out a plan with him.”

Winning trials at the first official Sydney session is not the be-all and

end-all, with Harron’s King’s Legacy (Redoute’s Choice), a dual Group 1

winner, running fourth of five in his first hit-out last year.

“I think it’s a great sign that horses are generally showing ability

to get to those trials and we see them come out at different stages and

people learn a bit more about what they’re capabilities are going to be.

“Of course, King’s Legacy was showing huge ability at home and he

got out over a bit further. It tends to throw up a lot of good horses.”

Shalaa colt Shaquero shines on the Gold CoastOn the Gold Coast yesterday, two two-year-old barrier trials were

conducted with the Chris Waller-trained Shaquero, a son of Arrowfield’s

Shalaa (Invincible Spirit), taking out heat one over 900 metres in a time of

54.08 seconds.

A $160,000 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale purchase by

agent Guy Mulcaster from the Fernrigg Farm draft, the Bob Hannon-

bred Shaquero defeated Prime Asset (Star Witness) by a length, while

Golden Eighty (No Nay Never) was another three quarters of a length

away in third. He is out of the winning mare Fimatino (Not A Single

Doubt) who is a half-sister to Sunset Express (Success Express), the

dam of Cox Plate (Gr 1, 2040m) winner and Rosemont Stud sire Shamus

Award (Snitzel).

Heat two was won by Not A Single Doubt (Redoute’s Choice) filly True

Moonlight, a Heinrich Bloodstock-bred, raced and trained two-year-old

daughter of Moonlight Hussey (Hussonet).

| 5 | Tuesday, September 22, 2020 Three first season sires on the board

Heat 2 - colts - 850 metres Time: 50.13 seconds (33.29 last 600m)Kalashnikov (2 c Capitalist - Rough Ride

by Flying Spur)

“He’s always been like that, right from day one, especially being by

Capitalist, we were keen to see how their attitudes were and they’ve been

just like him, so I am really pleased for the horse and the stallion to get his

first one out on the track to be a winner,” co-trainer Peter Snowden said.

“We know the horse pretty well and he’s just franked what we’ve seen from

him every morning. He’s got good ability and a great demeanour and that

will take him a long way. Once he’s pulled up sound, there’s still a bit of

a belly on him, so he should tighten up a bit from today, so he should be

spot on for Saturday week.”

Heat 3 - fillies - 850 metres Time: 50.52 seconds (34.17 secs last 600m)Vaccine (2 f Not A Single Doubt - A Brilliant Idea by Afleet Alex)

Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott trained the quinella of heat three, with

Vaccine defeating Miss Hoff (Flying Artie). “I think both fillies’ best attribute

is that they’ve got a great mental aptitude towards their racing and they’re

very mature in that sense,” Bott said. “(Vaccine) was beaten for speed a

little bit early, so Tim (Clark, jockey) just let her find her feet. She had a nice

education in amongst the field and I guess the most pleasing aspect was that

she responded to pressure late and was able to take those tight gaps and

find the line well.” On runner-up Miss Hoff, Bott said: “She stuck on well

considering she was stuck three wide and sustained that pressure. She looked

to get a little bit lost late as she wandered a bit but when that other filly joined

her she responded again. They’re two fillies who should improve and they

were two nice trials for the Gimcrack.” Vaccine was a $220,000 purchase from

the Gold Coast by Waterhouse and Bott for Glenlogan Park from the draft

of Queensland breeder Ron Gilbert’s Highgrove Stud. She is a sister to the

promising Glenlogan Park Stud-owned, Rob Heathcote-trained Minjee, a

two-time winner last season at two.

Heat 4 - colts - 850 metres Time: 50.59 seconds (34.46 sec last 600m)River Snitty (2 c Snitzel - Savannah River by Encosta De Lago)

Chris Waller’s racing manager Charlie Duckworth described River

Snitty’s performance as a “really pleasing trial”. “He did everything right, he

came in back behind them, got a lovely educational experience and when

he presented in the straight,” Duckworth said. “I know Hughie (Bowman,

jockey) gave him a couple of reminders in the straight but to be fair to him

he lengthened well. Hughie actually came and jumped him out at home

last Tuesday on the Polytrack.” River Snitty was a $350,000 Magic Millions

graduate purchased by Guy Mulcaster from Gerry Harvey’s Baramul Stud

draft. River Snitty’s dam Savannah River, a half-sister to Savabeel (Zabeel),

is the dam of four-time winner Maddi Rocks (Fastnet Rock).

Heat 5 - fillies - 850 metres Time: 50.00 seconds (33.74 sec last 600m) Enthaar (2 f Written Tycoon - Final Agreement by Not A Single Doubt)

Co-trainer Ciaron Maher said Enthaar had been “quite sharp and

quite natural”. “She came up from Melbourne the other day and just had a

little 600-metre jump-out and she was very natural there,” the dual-state

trainer said. “She’s gone on and we haven’t had to do much with her and

she looked good again (today). (James McDonald, jockey) gave her a good

rap. He said she’s a three-year-old, did everything right and gave him a

really nice feel. She’s got it all there quite early, so hopefully she pulls up

and hopefully we can go on (to the races).”

Heat 6 - colts - 845 metres - Time: 50.65 seconds (34.54 last 600m)Maurice’s Medad (2 c Maurice - Presslist by Librettist)

Bjorn Baker was full of praise for Maurice’s Medad’s sire Maurice

after the colt, who was runner-up in a 735-metre trial at Randwick on

September 8, overcame a wide run to win heat six. “I wish I had more

horses in the stable whose father was Maurice,” Baker said. “I’ve got this

bloke and a couple of fillies who probably need a little bit longer, but this

bloke, he’s still got to develop into his frame, but he’s showing too much

to put out. He’s got a great attitude and I thought it was a really good

effort today, as it’s a big help to have the rail with two-year-olds, so he

was really game and strong to the line.” Maurice’s Medad was a $250,000

purchase by Baker and agent James Clarke from the Vinery Stud draft from

this year’s Magic Millions January sale. Maurice’s Medad’s dam Presslist

is a half-sister to Vinery Stud’s Group 1-winning stallion Press Statement

(Hinchinbrook)

Heat 7 - fillies - 845 metres - Time: 50.11 seconds (33.89 last 600m)Total Babe (2 f I Am Invincible - In Style by Fast ‘N’ Famous)

The good day at the trials for the Waterhouse and Bott stable

continued in heat seven when Total Babe won her trial by a nose.

“Total Babe showed great tactical speed and, obviously, she looks very

professional,” Bott said. “She relaxed well in front for Tommy (Berry,

jockey) and when she needed to quicken there was an immediate

response, so I thought of all ours this morning, she was the most

immediate and showed the most natural speed.” Total Babe, who is out

of New Zealand Railway Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) winner In Style, was sold

by Mill Park Stud for $300,000 to Waterhouse and Bott at the Magic

Millions sale earlier this year. In Style has a Sebring (More Than Ready)

yearling colt and is due to foal to Brazen Beau (I Am Invincible) this

month.

Heat 8 - colts - 845 metresTime: 51.08 seconds (34.50 last 600m)Retrieval (2 c Medaglia d’Oro - Shelters by Lonhro)

Godolphin, as expected, made its presence felt at the official two-year-

old trials and it was well-bred Medaglia d’Oro (El Prado) colt Retrieval

who impressed in winning heat eight. James Cummings’ offsider Darren

Beadman was on course to oversee Godolphin’s four runners. On Retrieval,

Beadman said: “He’s very much a push-button horse. He travelled nicely in

the trial, went between horses, and that was a very positive trial.” The heats

were run on a Soft 6 surface which Beadman said would help the two-year-

olds pull up well in the hope of contesting upcoming races. “It’s probably a

blessing that we had a little bit of rain last night as it’s just softened up the track

nicely,” he continued. “The right ones will put their hands up and I quite like

the colt. He’s quite mature and precocious, while the filly (Tinge) is a little bit

on the light side.” Retrieval, a homebred for Godolphin, is a brother to Group

3 winner Multaja and Listed winner Veranillo, while he is also from the same

family as Group 1 winner Benfica (Lonhro). Shelters has a yearling colt by

Astern (Medaglia d’Oro).

she will physically take a lot more improvement out of the trials than

any of them today,” co-trainer Adrian Bott said. “I like the way, when

she was a little bit lost and floating around, she really rallied strongly.

She pinned the ears back and fought on, which are qualities you like

to see at this very early stage.” Excela Bay is owned by an all-female

syndicate, so Bott indicated the filly would be given her chance to

qualify for the Magic Millions 2YO Classic (RL, 1200m). Consigned

by Rosemont Stud at the Magic Millions, Excela Bella was a $250,000

purchase by her trainers and is out of the unraced mare Caraveli, who

is a half-sister to El Cambio (Commands), Complicate (Commands)

and Cataclysm (Marauding), the dam of Blue Diamond Stakes (Gr 1,

1200m) winner Earthquake (Exceed And Excel) and Listed winner

Palomares (Commands). Caraveli was sold for just $5,500 in April in

an Inglis Digital auction.

AUSTRALIA

Nature Strip ordered to retrial after mishap

The Everest (1200m) favourite Nature Strip

(Nicconi) has been ordered to take a barrier

trial before his next start after unshipping James

McDonald and galloping riderless in a dramatic

incident at Randwick yesterday. The four-

time Group 1 winner, who was due to line up

against Libertini (I Am Invincible), Wild Ruler

(Snitzel) and Mizzy (Zoustar) over 850 metres,

came through the drama unscathed. McDonald

also escaped injury and was able to ride in the

remaining two-year-old trials. The six-year-old

is scheduled to contest the Premiere Stakes

(Gr 2, 1200m) on October 3, but Racing NSW

stewards yesterday announced he must first

satisfy them following yesterday’s scare.

Connections unable to explain “freak accident”Chris Waller’s assistant Charlie Duckworth

was unable to explain the circumstances

surrounding Nature Strip’s antics at the

gates yesterday, labelling the incident “a

freak accident”. “He seems to have pulled

up absolutely fine,” Duckworth told Sky

Thoroughbred Central. “He’s had a lot of race

starts and public appearances and it’s not

something he’s done before - it was just a freak

accident. I had a good chat to James. There was

no reason for him to do it. He’s just jumped in

the air as they have opened. He gave James no

indication. He was lovely and relaxed before

the trial, so it’s a bit of a head scratcher but

they’re all individuals, these horses, and he’s

obviously one with a high profile so it makes

it all the more interesting and complex.

He’s in one piece and James in one piece, so

he’ll benefit from the gallop even if he was

riderless.”

Diamond Effort given Moir chanceClinton McDonald believes Diamond Effort

(Mossman) is up to the challenge of keeping

her undefeated record this year intact when

she takes her chance in Friday’s Moir Stakes

(Gr 1, 1000m). Diamond Effort will be up

against the likes of Fabergino (Maschino),

Away Game (Snitzel), Bella Vella (Commands)

and Hanseatic (Street Boss) at Moonee Valley

and her trainer is approaching the race with a

degree of confidence. "She's going great. She

gets her opportunity to step up in grade and

she deserves a crack at it," McDonald said. "Her

wins have all been great. Her last-start win at

Caulfield was against the pattern as she was

off the speed. She pinned her ears back and

got home. Also, it was a good track and she's

better suited on a wet track. She's improved

since her first-up win. She can handle pressure.

She's a big, strong mare. There's going to be

a lot in our favour." McDonald added that if

Diamond Effort ran well on Friday she would

have her next start in the Manikato Stakes (Gr

1, 1200m), also at Moonee Valley, a month later

on October 23.

Golden Rose or Guineas for Mo’ungaConnections will make the call today on which

route they will take with last Saturday’s Dulcify

Stakes (Listed, 1500m) winner Mo’unga

(Savabeel). The Chris Waller-trained colt

stepped up in grade to register a length and a

half win over Global Quest (More Than Ready)

at Rosehill last weekend, an effort which could

earn him a tilt at next month’s Caulfield Guineas

(Gr 1, 1600m). “Mo’unga will either run in the

Golden Rose or Caulfield Guineas, a decision

will be made tomorrow about the Golden Rose,”

the champion trainer wrote on Twitter yesterday.

“We feel he is sharp enough to prove himself as a

sprinter-miler at this early stage.”

Mamaragan still Thompson’s Golden boyJohn Thompson is maintaining his faith in

Mamaragan (Wandjina), confident that the

dual Group 1 placegetter can rebound in the

$1 million Golden Rose Stakes (Gr 1, 1400m).

The colt has been beaten in his two runs

this campaign, resuming with a distant third

behind Anders (Not A Single Doubt) in the San

Domenico Stakes (Gr 3, 1100m) before following

that effort up with a sixth behind Rothfire

(Rothesay) in The Run To The Rose (Gr 2,

1200m). Both races contained runaway leaders

with Anders showing sustained speed to score,

while Farnan (Not A Single Doubt) went hard

and tired behind Rothfire. Thompson believes

Mamaragan's efforts have been better than they

appear and the three-year-old is looking for the

extra distance of Saturday's race at Rosehill. "The

colt, he's a good horse. He just needs a race run to

suit," Thompson said. "Both times this campaign

he has just been run off his legs. He is looking for

further and he will appreciate the 1400 metres."

King’s Legacy nommed for Guineas PreludeConnections of King’s Legacy (Redoute’s

Choice) are keeping their weekend options

open with the dual Group 1 placegetter

accepted for races in both Sydney and

Melbourne. The Golden Rose remains his

preferred target but the colt also has the option

of lining up in the Caulfield Guineas Prelude

(Gr 3, 1400m). “What if he draws barrier 18 in

the Golden Rose? It gives me the option,’’ co-

trainer Peter Snowden told Racing.com. “But

he’s most likely to stay here in Sydney, although

nothing is locked in yet. We’ll also see what the

weather does. He’ll run well this Saturday, but

it looks as though he’ll be better once he gets to

the 1600 metres. Then he’ll come into his own.

There was nothing wrong with his first-up run

and he’s going well, but you’d think the mile is

the trip that will be best for him.’’

Tyzone to stake Epsom claims at RosehillThe likelihood of Stradbroke Handicap (Gr

1, 1400m) winner Tyzone (Written Tycoon)

running in the Epsom Handicap (Gr 1, 1600m)

will hinge on his second-up performance at

Rosehill on Saturday. Toby Edmonds will assess

how Tyzone copes with a step-up in trip in the

Shannon Stakes (Gr 2, 1500m) before deciding

whether to take on the Epsom Handicap at

Randwick. "We're a bit unsure about a mile

with him," Edmonds, who trains in partnership

with his son Trent, said. "We’ll know more after

the Shannon. If he goes through the line we're

happy to go to the Epsom. If not, we would think

about the Yes Yes Yes which is a 1300 metre

weight-for-age race worth a million dollars a

few weeks after that." Tyzone opened his spring

carnival campaign with an eighth-placed finish

behind Wild Planet (Animal Kingdom) in the

Theo Marks Stakes (Gr 2, 1300m) at Rosehill on

September 12.

Vanna Girl also on track for the EpsomToby Edmonds has locked in an Epsom

start for stablemate Vanna Girl (Husson)

after she finished ninth behind Dreamforce

(Fastnet Rock) in the Tramway Stakes (Gr 2,

1400m) at Randwick on September 5. "She

was looking for the mile first up the way she

raced," Edmonds said. “It wasn't really run

to suit and she was only warming up the last

100 metres. With a month between runs, a

nice tune-up trial in between, I don't think

going into the Epsom second up is going to

be a big issue. She's got good residual fitness

from last preparation and we thought if we

ran her again she'd be too dour for the mile."

Vanna Girl lined up at Randwick on the back

of an 84-day break, having won The Roses (Gr

2, 1200m) at Eagle Farm.

Knuckey flies in for Moir ridePerth-based Peter Knuckey is expecting to

be released from quarantine today ahead of

his ride on the Tiarnna Robertson-trained

Fabergino in the Moir Stakes. Fabergino won

the Northam Stakes (Gr 3, 1100m) when last

seen in May and Knuckey is excited to get back

on board. “It looks a very good race as we knew

it would, but this is the race we’ve targeted and

we are going to see how good she is,” the jockey

told Racing.com. “I’m really looking forward

to it. I’ve just had to quarantine for a couple

of days since Friday and I’ve had a (Covid-19)

test this morning with the result coming back

this afternoon. Once that’s all clear then I

can go to where Tiarnna and the horse are at

Mornington and Tuesday morning start riding

a bit of trackwork. Fabergino’s been a bit of a

freak of nature. Her mum’s side breeding wise

is nothing too flash and she’s just one out of

the box. She’s ready to take on the big guns

here.”

Farnan suffering from low grade infectionFarnan (Not A Single Doubt) was yesterday

being treated with antibiotics after it was

revealed he was found to have filling in his off-

fore leg. The Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-

trained colt suffered a shock defeat on his return

to action when finishing only fifth in the Run

To The Rose and Bott reported to the stewards

he had been forced to miss work yesterday.

Confirming the news in a statement, Racing

NSW said: “(Farnan) was found this morning to

have filling to its off-fore leg above the fetlock

joint with associated low grade infection. The

colt is being treated with antibiotics. Mr Bott

has confirmed the colt has pulled up with

no adverse effects from the Run To The Rose

but had not worked this morning following

the identification of the filling in the off-fore,

which is presumed to have occurred in the

stable overnight. Mr Bott has been requested to

provide stewards with an update on the colt's

condition later this week.”

Toorak aim for Sircconi Sircconi (Nicconi) will be aimed at next

month’s Toorak Handicap (Gr 1, 1600m), with

Nick Ryan revealing the six-year-old will not

have another run before the Caulfield race.

Sircconi was last seen earlier this month

finishing a close-up fourth in the Feehan

Stakes (Gr 2, 1600m). Meanwhile, Ryan will

take talented four-year-old Express Pass

(Wandjina) to Moonee Valley on Moir Stakes

night for his next run. The gelding jumped out

nicely last Tuesday, pleasing his trainer. “He

will head to Moonee Valley in a Benchmark

84, 1200-metre rating race Moir Stakes night.

It looks a nice, progressive Benchmark race for

him,” Ryan told Racing.com. “We are hoping

he can string another win together. We’ve

always had a big opinion of the horse. If he

can put his hand up and keep winning these

races then he will no doubt deserve his crack

at something better.”

Hey Doc works wellThree-time Group 1 winner Hey Doc (Duporth)

will kick-off his spring campaign in Friday’s

Moir Stakes after an eye-catching piece of work

at Moonee Valley yesterday. Connections were

delighted by the seven-year-old’s final hit-

out which saw him clock 23.59s, a quick last

400 metres relative to other horses. “He really

enjoyed his morning out there at The Valley, his

race record suggests he loves the track and we’ve

taken him there on a few different occasions for

gallops,” co-trainer Calvin McEvoy told Racing.

com. “I think this morning was probably the

sharpest he’s ever worked there and Luke

[Currie] was very pleased with him, as was I.

He’s been jumping out very well too, in one of

them a horse went with him, which they don’t

normally do, and that was Danny O’Brien’s

From Within, who won on Saturday.”

Catalyst to head back to NZCatalyst’s (Darci Brahma) spring campaign is

over, but Clayton Chipperfield was relieved

with yesterday’s veterinary inspection on his

stable star. Catalyst is booked to return to New

Zealand on Sunday for a three-month spell

after he finished last of 12 in the Shorts (Gr 2,

1100m) at Randwick on Saturday. He was eased

down by Glen Boss after suffering interference

and a post-race veterinary examination on

raceday revealed Catalyst to be lame in his off-

foreleg. “I was thinking he might need surgery

and that could open up a lot of other problems

and see him off the scene for a long time,” the

trainer said. “Fortunately he just needs a three-

month spell and the vet says he should be good

to go again. The x-ray showed there is a lot of

movement around his fetlocks. It’s a maturity

thing and he’s still growing. He will have three

months out at The Oaks Stud and all going

well he could be back racing in the mid to late

autumn.”

Con Te Partiro retiredDual Group 1 winner Con Te Partiro (Scat

Daddy) will head straight to the sales without

another run after it was announced the seven-

year-old had suffered an injury setback which

will rule her out of the Epsom Handicap.

Next month’s Randwick contest and a tilt at

the Breeders’ Cup Mile (Gr 1, 1m) had been

on the agenda for the mare, but she will now

head straight to Keeneland for the November

Breeding Stock Sale, where she will be offered

in Book 1 on November 9. Sold at the 2015

Keeneland September Yearling Sale as a half-

sister to stakes performer Donworth (Tiznow)

for $130,000 to Cromwell Bloodstock, Con Te

Partiro begen her career with Wesley Ward,

making a winning debut before taking out

the Bolton Landing Stakes (Listed, 5.5f) on

her third start. While she was a model of

consistency, she was an infrequent winner for

Ward, only adding one further victory in nine

starts after the Saratoga success. That win,

though, was one of her crowning achievements,

taking the Sandringham Handicap (Listed, 1m)

at Royal Ascot in 2017. After a lacklustre 2018,

she was sent through the Fasig Tipton Kentucky

November Mixed Sale, fetching $575,000 to

the bid of S F Bloodstock and Newgate Farm.

In what would prove a shrewd move, the

partnership decided to send her to Australia

to continue racing her, winning the Dark Jewel

Classic (Gr 3, 1400m) at Scone at her first

Australian outing. She mixed her form in her

first six months down under and was retired

in October, 2019, before a decision was made

to return her to the racetrack after she failed

to get into foal. That would prove a blessing in

disguise as she went on to take two of Australia’s

top mares races, the Coolmore Classic (Gr 1,

1500m) and the Coolmore Legacy Stakes (Gr 1,

1600m).

Kisukano spelledKisukano (Bel Esprit) will miss next month’s

Flight Stakes (Gr 1, 1600m) at Randwick after

connections elected to instead spell her with

a summer campaign in mind. The Michael

Nolan-trained filly won four of her six starts as

a juvenile and added two further victories to

that tally at three before being beaten narrowly

when finishing runner-up in the Pink Ribbon

Cup (1300m) at the Gold Coast on her most

recent outing.

One kilogram penalty for OrderofthegarterOrderofthegarter (Galileo) has been penalised

one kilogram for the Melbourne Cup (Gr

1, 3200m) and Caulfield Cup (Gr 1, 2400m)

following his win in the Naturalism Stakes (Gr

3, 2000m) on Saturday. The Danny O’Brien-

trained star is a leading fancy for the Caulfield

Cup, but will now carry 51 kilograms in both

races. The Naturalism Stakes is a ballot exempt

race for the Caulfield Cup and Orderofthegarter

joins Aktau (Teofilo) as horses guaranteed a

start in the race. He is yet to pass the ballot for

the Melbourne Cup but can do so by finishing

in the top eight of the Caulfield Cup. “It was

encouraging to see Orderofthegarter record

his third career win in the Naturalism Stakes

and his first since winning a Listed race for

three-year-olds in April 2017,” Racing Victoria

executive general manager, Greg Carpenter,

told Racing.com. “The merit of the victory on

Saturday warranted a one kilogram penalty

for both Cups as he seeks to emulate Jameka

who won the Caulfield Cup after winning the

Naturalism Stakes in 2016."

Vic jockeys suspendedA trio of jockeys have been handed suspensions

for weekend rides at Ballarat and Tatura. John

Robertson was given a 14-meeting ban for careless

riding on board Colville House (Ocean Park)

in race three at Tatura on Saturday. Roberston,

who pleaded guilty, started his suspension on

Saturday night with the ban set to expire at the

conclusion of the day meeting at Tatura on

October 2. Campbell Rawiller was suspended

for eight meetings for careless riding on board

Can Star (Starspangledbanner) in race nine on

the Tatura card. He pleaded guilty to the charge

and his ban starts at midnight tonight and expires

midnight, September 29. On Sunday, Jarrod Fry

received an eight-meeting ban for breaking the

whip rule on runner-up Barry The Baptist (Hard

Sun) in the Golden Nugget (1600m). Fry pleaded

guilty to using his whip five times more than

permitted prior to the 100 metres and was also

handed a $300 fine. His ban started at midnight

yesterday and expires midnight September 28.

Moss Trip in foal to Trapeze ArtistGroup 3 winner Moss Trip (Mossman) has

scanned in foal to Widden Stud resident and four-

time Group 1 winner Trapeze Artist (Snitzel).

The winner of over $500,000 in prize-money for

her owners Triple Crown Syndications, Moss

Trip, returned an early positive to her 14-day

post ovulation scan yesterday morning. Trapeze

Artist stands for a fee of $77,000 in 2020.

RV relaxes border Covid restrictionsTrainers and their staff operating on the state

border between Victoria and New South Wales

are set to benefit greatly from a change in

Covid-related protocols restricting movement.

Racing Victoria yesterday announced that

border residents who are licensed, registered

or employed within the state are now permitted

to attend a racecourse or licensed premises

without undertaking a 14-day period of

isolation. Racing NSW meanwhile, announced

an easing of its own restrictions which

prevented Victorain residents (in the border

areas) from attending tracks in the NSW border

region, and NSW residents from attending

licensed premises across the state.

NEW ZEALAND

Melody Belle to trial at RotoruaStar mare Melody Belle (Commands) will trial at

Rotorua today in a 1215-metre heat as she builds

towards a raceday return. The Jamie Richards-

trained ten-time Group 1 winner returned from

Sydney after finishing 11th in the Winx Stakes

(Gr 1, 1400m) and could be a late addition to the

Hawke’s Bay carnival, with the Windsor Park Plate

(Gr 1, 1600m) and Livamol Classic (Gr 1, 2040m)

her potential options. “She has done everything

right and Jamie can’t fault her at this stage,” said

John Galvin, manager of owners Melody Belle

Fortuna Syndicate. “It has been step-by-step

and little boxes being ticked, but how she trials

tomorrow will have a say as to where we go. She

had her first full gallop on Saturday morning and

Jamie seemed content with that, but the trial

tomorrow will really tell us where she is at. She is

not nominated for the races at Hawke’s Bay but

there is a late nomination up until Tuesday week.”

Colgan keen for raceday returnVinnie Colgan is targeting a November return to

raceday competition after undergoing an operation

on a neck injury he suffered in a fall ten years ago.

Having struggled with pain for a prolonged period

of time, the 45-year-old is raring to return. “I had a

fall ten years ago and smashed four vertebras and

that’s where it’s all come from,” Colgan said. “The

pain got so bad I was thinking ‘I’m not going to

ride anymore’. For about 18 months I was living on

Panadol to keep going. I finally got the operation on

May 31 and that has been so successful. The level of

my pain has gone from ten to zero. Hopefully I’ll be

back riding by November.”

Short course option for MascarponeMascarpone (Shooting To Win) was back in

the winner’s circle at Hawke’s Bay on Saturday

when successful over 1200 metres and the four-

year-old is likely to remain at sprint distances

moving forward. “It was a terrific win and he will

go to an Open Handicap 1200-metre race on the

second day of the Hawke’s Bay Carnival,” said

Graeme Rogerson, who trains in partnership

with wife Debbie. “I think we will keep him

sprinting and he will go to Christchurch for

the Stewards.” Rogerson was also pleased with

Beauden’s (Bullbars) sixth-placed finish over

1600 metres on Saturday. “We are looking at

running him in the Livamol and I couldn’t be

happier with him. He has developed into a nice

horse and was a bit gross on Saturday.”

ASIA

Japan: Babbitt takes St Lite KinenBabbitt (3 c Nakayama Festa - Art Ryoko by

Taiki Shuttle) earned a spot in the final leg of

the Japanese Triple Crown, the Kikuka Sho

(Gr 1, 3000m), with his victory in the Asahi

Hai St Lite Kinen (Gr 2, 2200m) at Nakayama

yesterday. The traditional St Leger lead-up, won

by Babbitt’s sire Nakayama Festa (Stay Gold)

in 2009 as well as horses like Isla Bonita (Fuji

Kiseki) and Kitasan Black (Black Tide) in recent

years, brought together a number of three-year-

olds seeking a ticket to take on Triple Crown

aspirant Contrail (Deep Impact) next month.

It was the Tamio Hamada-prepared Babbitt,

entering off three straight wins including the

Radio Nikkei Sho (Gr 3, 1800m) at Fukushima,

who led all the way to take the St Lite Kinen

under a well-judged Hiroyuki Uchida ride. He

defeated Satono Flag (Deep Impact) by a length

and a half, with a further half length back to

Galore Creek (Kinshasa No Kiseki) in third. The

Kikuka Sho is at Kyoto on October 25.

Hong Kong: Beauty Generation, Golden Sixty to clashTwo-time Hong Kong Horse of the Year Beauty

Generation (Road To Rock) is entered to have

his first start for David Hayes in Sunday’s

Celebration Cup (Gr 3, 1400m) at Sha Tin, a

race the eight-year-old has won three times

before. However, standing in his way is rising

star Golden Sixty (Medaglia d’Oro), who

became just the second horse to sweep Hong

Kong’s Four-Year-Old Classic Series last season,

as well as Champions Mile (Gr 1, 1600m) hero

Southern Legend (Not A Single Doubt). A total

of 11 entries have been received for the feature,

the first of Hong Kong’s stakes races for the

2020-21 season.

INTERNATIONAL

Two for NyquistKentucky Derby (Gr 1, 10f) winner Nyquist

(Uncle Mo) recorded his second Grade 1 winner

from his first crop on Sunday when Gretzky The

Great (2 c ex Pearl Turn by Bernardini) took out

the Summer Stakes (Gr 1, 1m) at Woodbine,

earning a spot in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile

Turf (Gr 1, 1m) in the process. Ridden by

Japanese sensation Kazushi Kimura, the Mark

Casse-trained Gretzky The Great prevailed

after a speed-stalking trip, scoring by three

and a quarter lengths over Ready To Repeat

(More Than Ready) with a further length back

to Dolder Grand (Candy Ride) in third. “He

is such an amazing horse,” said Kimura, who

recorded his first Grade 1 win in the Summer

Stakes. “He's an easy horse—I mean to control.

If I want to do something, I can do anything.

When I came to the final turn then came

through the final stretch, he had a tremendous

explosion. He sometimes was a little bit lugging

in, but he's just still a baby." Nyquist stands at

Darley’s Jonabell Farm in Kentucky for $40,000

(approx. AUD$55,000).

19 for SpeightstownWinStar Farm’s Speightstown (Gone West)

recorded Grade 1 winner number 19 on

Sunday when Lady Speightspeare (2 f ex Lady

Shakespeare by Theatrical) - a half-sister to

Shakespear’sgalley (Galileo), who has his

first Australian trial at Warwick Farm this

morning - took out the Natalma Stakes (Gr 1,

8f) at Woodbine on Sunday. The Chuck Fipke

homebred, trained by Roger Attfield, remained

unbeaten from two starts, overcoming barrier

issues to score by three-quarters of a length over

Alda (Munnings), with a further two and three-

quarter lengths away to Seasons (Tapit) in third.

"That's always nice to see. When you break your

maiden and you're going into a race like this

off of going wire-to-wire, you really haven't

had any education or anything going into

something like this, so it was nice to see that for

sure,” Attfield said of the Emma-Jayne Wilson-

ridden Lady Speightspeare, indicating the

Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (Gr 1, 1m) is

a likely target. Speightstown stands at WinStar

Farm for $70,000 (approx. AUD$96,400).

Dirt Mile is definitely our plan based on these

last two races,” his Kentucky-based trainer

Grant Forster said. “For us here in Kentucky,

it’s a home game this year. He does have one

race at Keeneland when he ran very well

as he was just starting to improve last fall. I

know the owners and I are on board. I guess

we have to put our money where our mouth

is and give a horse the chance to show what

he can do on the national stage.” Shanghai

Officials reported 237 horses sold for

$11,516,500

Sunday's session of the Keeneland

September Yearling Sale continued

to be heavily shopped by buyers

and experienced solid trade as the

auction prepared to enter its second week.

Book 4 got underway as a total of 237 horses

from 322 offered changed hands for $11,516,500

(approx AUD$15,855,250). Keeneland

reported an average price of $48,593 (approx

AUD$66,900) and a median of $40,000 (approx

AUD$55,000). The 85 horses that went unsold

represented an RNA rate of 26 per cent.

Through to Sunday, 1,351 horses have been

sold for gross receipts of $221,281,200 (approx

AUD$304,646,000).

Topping Sunday's session was a filly

by Adena Springs Kentucky's Ghostzapper

(Awesome Again) out of the stakes-winning

mare Saxet Heights (Outflanker). Purchased

for $210,000 (approx AUD$289,000) by C.J.

Thoroughbreds, the filly was bred in Kentucky

by SF Bloodstock and consigned by Woods

Edge Farm, agent.

The filly had been purchased as a weanling

during the Keeneland November Breeding

Stock Sale for $130,000 in the name of Rocco

Bloodstock. Connections buying with C.J.

Thoroughbreds said the filly had the right kind

of size and scope they had been looking for and

that while the price was slightly above what

they had been expecting to pay, it still fell well

within their range for purchase.

Three yearlings shared the day's

second-highest price of $190,000 (approx

AUD$261,500), beginning with a colt by Hill 'n'

Dale Farms stallion Maclean's Music (Distorted

Humor). Consigned by Summerfield, agent for

Stonestreet Bred & Raised, the bay yearling is

out of the mare Yes Liz (Yes It’s True), who ran

second in the Sorority Stakes (Listed, 6f).

"We're very pleased with what he brought,"

said Andrew Vanlangendonck of Summerfield.

"We had him pegged around that price range.

As you get down in the books, the prices go

down as well.

"We thought he was very well placed. He

was a very standout physical and by a sire that

is having a good turnaround. Hopefully, he'll

do well in the future. Once again, it's another

Stonestreet horse. It's incredible the programme

they have and what kind of horseflesh they're

able to push out to all the consignors that are

lucky enough to sell for them."

Acting as agent, trainer Kenny McPeek

signed for a colt by Lane's End sire Unified

(Candy Ride) out of the mare Song of Solomon

(Unbridled’s Song). Consigned by Legacy

Bloodstock, the colt was bred in Kentucky by

Two Hearts Farm II.

"He was just an awesome horse," said

Tommy Eastham of Legacy. "I have been

really lucky. I had an Into Mischief filly in

Book 3, and this horse that never cheated me.

Tony Braddock raises an incredible horse. He

produces good, well-mannered horses and has

a great crew.

"The horse himself, mentally, is one of those

that every time someone looked at him, they

said he looked better than the last time. Even

through the scoping and everything he had to

go through, he was a gentleman the whole time.

"One of the things I liked about him the

most is that he was always a horse that when

I evaluated him every month, he had a great

length of bone but he didn't have a lot of mass

until about August. August was when he really

came into himself, and I think there is a ton of

upside for him going to Kenny and his owners

because he's just now getting to be himself."

McPeek signed for three other yearlings

Sunday, bringing his total to 18 overall. Total

receipts for the horses come to $2,304,000

(approx AUD$3.12 million).

Rounding out the trio of $190,000 (approx

AUD$261,500) yearlings was another Unified

colt, consigned by Michael and Julia O'Quinn,

agent. Bred in Kentucky by Gatewood Bell, the

colt is out of stakes winner Promise Me a Cat

(D'wildcat) and was purchased by Redwings.

With prices experiencing a decline as the

latter half of the sale begins, consignors and

buyers alike said it was impossible to deny

the impact the Covid-19 crisis has had on the

market and would continue to have on the

market at every stage going forward.

"It's a different ballgame," Vanlangendonck

said. "I think a lot of us got comfortable in the

earlier books thinking it might not be the way

it's turning out to be, but I know that many

consignors may have had a different experience

today.

"It seems to be a lot more selective, and I

know the two-year-old pinhookers are a big

part of the middle market and they're coming

back from the year they had. They're making

more selective choices and they're looking for

as close to a sure thing as you can get."

"Like other consignors, I'm not batting

1.000," said Eastham.

"I think we've had to adjust a little bit,

and we're getting our information a little

differently. The videos Keeneland have done

have been great to get more participation, but

as consignors, we've had to really adapt and

learn more about technology since most of us

are farmers. Maybe it's a good thing in the long

run."

Bloodstock agent Davant Latham, who has

both bought and sold several horses during

the opening books, said that while the sale was

definitely a buyer's

market, it's important

to consider the long-

lasting effects the

industry will face in

the wake of a stunted

economy.

"We've been

fortunate to have a

very good sale, but

I think this is what

we expected would

happen," Latham

said. "But it's a very

tough time to be a

breeder. That's very

bad for our industry overall. We need breeders,

and we need them to make enough money

to not only survive, but to want to continue

breeding. We all depend on each other. I don't

care who you are, this impacts your game.

"I hope that the stallion farms are paying

attention to this market and that they will adjust

their fees accordingly, or at least throw some

kind of rescue net out to breeders, because

they're the ones that really take the risk. If

stallion farms don't respond, there won't be

breeders and they won't be able to sell seasons.

We all have to look at the big picture going

forward."

BY HARRY TROY | @RACINGMACAU

Trainer Nick Moore has mapped

out an ambitious program for his

exciting four year Sport Genius

(Ocean Park) who showed great

determination in scoring a last-stride win over

the hot favorite Diamond Moonlight (The Wow

Signal), in Saturday’s Class 3 over 1050 metres

on the all-weather surface.

With regular rider Luis Corrales in the

saddle, Sport Genius - after a tardy beginning

- soon mustered speed to sit at the girth of

Diamond Moonlight. It was obvious before

the turn that it was just a two-horse affair with

the pair singling out for a thrilling battle over

the final 200 metres. Sport Genius, the much

smaller of the two horses, dug deep to dive late

for a head victory on the line.

It was a much-relieved Nick Moore after the

race and the rookie trainer announced that he

will be aiming the son of the 2012 Cox Plate (Gr

1, 2040m) winner towards the Four-Year-Old

Classics, such as the Derby Trial (Listed, 1500m)

and the Macau Guineas (Listed, 1500m).

“He really got to the line well, it was a super

effort,” he said. “It was the first time with the

blinkers and he didn’t rev up, he was nice and

relaxed in the run and found plenty. If you look

at the race, watch how he picked up when he

switched to his left lead; that’s his weapon. He

really got into his work after that

“Before the race of course we knew the

favourite Diamond Moonlight was going to

be very hard to toss. He bolted in on the rain-

affected sand last start and his times for the

distance were far superior to my horse. But my

little man is a real tough little fighter and he is

looking to go further.”

Whilst it might seem a little ambitious at the

present, Moore is optimistic that Sport Genius is

the type of horse that could give him his second

Macau Guineas: “It’s a good way off yet but I do

think he has all the qualities it takes for a race

like the Guineas. He is not a great beginner but

he has good speed to put himself into the race

and he knows where the post is.”

With a team of 13 horses in his yard at

present Moore is anxiously awaiting for the

Covid-19 travel restrictions to be eased.

“I’ve got 13 at the moment and have two in

Australia waiting to come and one in the UK,

but of course we just have to be patient,” he

said. “Hopefully I can get the team up to 20 by

the end of the season, which would be good in

these difficult times we are going through.”

Moore achieved the rare feat of winning

a Group 1 race in his debut season as trainer

with Hostwin Saturn (Stratum) taking out the

Macau Guineas back in June. With his small

team, Moore only had a total of 68 runners for

the whole of last season for 13 winners and 18

placings. His win strike rate of 19 per cent and

place percentage of 46 per cent was the best

strike rate of any trainer; Sport Genius was his

only runner on Saturday.

Former dual Group winner Kelowna Star

(Sufficient) bounced back to his best with a

brilliant win in Saturday’s Class 1 & 2 over 1510

metres under Frenchman J B Hamel, to open

the term’s account for last season’s champion

trainer Tony Fung.

In a race run at a good tempo, Kelowna

Star was a good ten lengths back in second-

last place for most of the run. He was under

a hard ride coming to the turn and was just

starting to tack onto the field, but once in the

straight, Hamel brought the nine-year-old to

the extreme outside and he literally sprouted

wings with a dazzling turn of foot to run right

over the top of his rivals.

At the line it was Kelowna Star by one and

three-quarters from Fasuba (Power), with

Tuhao Choice (Jakkalberry) in third.

In his four-year-old days with James Moore,

Kelowna Star was just that; a real star in taking

out the Four-Year-Old Prelude (Listed, 1500m)

and the Macau Guineas, then later in the year

winning the first of his back-to-back wins in the

Autumn Trophy (Listed, 1600m).

Age takes its toll on us all and Kelowna Star

was no exception. The gelding’s form tapered

off with wins far and few between until June this

year, when he downed a decent Class 1 & 2 field

over 1500 metres on the turf before a couple of

well-below-par efforts again.

On Saturday, however, it was the old

Kelowna Star that stepped up to the mark again

and produced his same old brilliant finish.

Danny Wong’s Number Zero (Showcasing)

made it four wins from his last six runs with a

sterling effort to win Saturday’s Class 3 over

1510 metres on a rain-soaked sand surface,

after the Taipa racetrack was inundated with

very heavy rain throughout the afternoon.

Ridden by the underrated C F (Charlie)

Chan, Number Zero was caught in a difficult

spot wide from gate 12 as the field went into the

back; to add to his troubles Number Zero picked

up the bit and began to race fiercely. Chan took

advantage of the straight stretch in the back to

loop the field, and found himself on the outside

of the leader Still So Cute (Thewayyouare) as

they swung the circle from the 600 metres to the

home turn.

The five-year-old then showed great

courage to stave off a late run by Pearl Lucky

(Red Giant) to win by three quarters of a length,

with Beautiful Eighteen (Epaulette) in third.

Number Zero has been a good buy for his

owners Cheng Yan Tung, Wang Chang Gui and

Lam Kwun Sang Ovo, and is another of the

Showcasing (Oasis Dream) breed that have

shown a liking for the Macau sand surface;

although on Saturday, he really showed his

versatility with wins now on the turf on both

good and heavy tracks as well as the all-weather.

With only seven runs under his belt the

gelding has posted four wins and one second spot

and has already picked up over HKD$600,000

(approx. AUD$106,600) for connections.

Atlante (Fastnet Rock) registered his first

Group 1 winner on Saturday when Callsign

Mav (4 g ex Raadisi by Volksraad) took out

the Tarzino Trophy (Gr 1, 1400m) in a major

upset at Hastings. Sent out at 80-1, the John

Bary-trained Callsign Mav tracked up behind

a strong tempo set by Deerfield (Falkirk).

Switched off the fence by Jonathan Riddell, the

four-year-old chased through strongly before

holding off the late surge of Supera (Savabeel)

to win by three-quarters of a length. Favourite

Avantage (Fastnet Rock) finished third, a

further nose away. Callsign Mav is the first

stakes winner out of three-time 1400-metre

victor Raadisi (Volksraad), herself a half-sister

to Group 1 winner The Party Stand (Thorn Park).

Purchased for just NZ$3,000 as a weanling out

of the Windsor Park Stud draft at the 2017 NZB

National Weanling, Broodmare & Mixed Sale,

Saturday’s win took Callsign Mav’s earnings to

NZ$188,000. Atlante died in late 2016, having

served two seasons at Mapperley Stud.

Galileo - Magic Attitude (3 f ex Margot

Did by Exceed And Excel) became Galileo’s

89th individual Group 1 winner when taking

out the Belmont Oaks (Gr 1, 10f) on her USA

debut, comfortably defeating Antoinette (Hard

Spun) by two and a quarter lengths, with the

same distance back to Neige Blanche (Anodin)

in third. Magic Attitude is the second foal to

race from Group 1-winning dam Margot Did

(Exceed And Excel), who was victorious in the

Nunthorpe Stakes (Gr 1, 5f) at York in 2011,

and a sister to French Group 2 winner Mission

Impassible, who also ran second in the QEII

Challenge Cup Stakes (Gr 1, 9f) at Keeneland.

Eleven-time Champion Sire Galileo (Sadler’s

Wells) stands for a private fee at Coolmore Stud

Nyquist - Kentucky Derby (Gr 1, 10f)

winner Nyquist (Uncle Mo) recorded his second

Grade 1 winner from his first crop on Sunday

when Gretzky The Great (2 c ex Pearl Turn by

Bernardini) took out the Summer Stakes (Gr 1,

8f) at Woodbine, earning a spot in the Breeders’

Cup Juvenile Turf (Gr 1, 8f) in the process.

Ridden by Japanese sensation Kazushi Kimura,

the Mark Casse-trained Gretzky The Great

prevailed after a speed-stalking trip, scoring

by three and a quarter lengths over Ready To

Repeat (More Than Ready) with a further length

to Dolder Grand (Candy Ride) in third. “He is

such an amazing horse,” said Kimura, who

recorded his first Grade 1 win in the Summer

Stakes. “He's an easy horse—I mean to control.

If I want to do something, I can do anything.

When I came to the final turn then came

through the final stretch, he had a tremendous

explosion. He sometimes was a little bit lugging

in, but he's just still a baby." Nyquist stands

at Darley’s Jonabell Farm in Kentucky for

USD$40,000 (approx. AUD$55,000).

Speightstown - WinStar Farm’s

Speightstown (Gone West) recorded Grade

1 winner number 19 on Sunday when Lady

Speightspeare (2 f ex Lady Shakespeare by

Theatrical) - a half-sister to Shakespear’sgalley

(Galileo), who has his first Australian trial at

Warwick Farm this morning - took out the

Natalma Stakes (Gr 1, 8f) at Woodbine on

Sunday. The Chuck Fipke homebred, trained

by Roger Attfield, remained unbeaten from

two starts, overcoming barrier issues to

score by three-quarters of a length over Alda

(Munnings), with a further two and three-

quarter lengths away to Seasons (Tapit) in third.

"That's always nice to see. When you break your

maiden and you're going into a race like this

off of going wire-to-wire, you really haven't

had any education or anything going into

something like this, so it was nice to see that for

sure,” Attfield said of the Emma-Jayne Wilson-

ridden Lady Speightspeare, indicating the

Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (Gr 1, 8f) is

a likely target. Speightstown stands at WinStar

Farm for USD$70,000 (approx. AUD$96,400).
