Clarry Conners still loves the racing
game as much as ever, but the
veteran Sydney trainer laments
how the sport has evolved,
particularly the sheer size and industrial scale
which has become the norm for Australia’s
largest and most dominant stables.
Despite not having the budget nor the
numbers to compete on a regular basis with
Sydney’s leading trainers, the Warwick Farm
horseman continues to demonstrate why he
has survived the cut-and-thrust of racing in the
nation’s toughest jurisdiction.
On Saturday, Conners could again attempt
to defy the odds with his two-year-old Shocking
Force (Air Force Blue) in the $500,000 Inglis
Nursery (RL, 1000m) at Randwick, a race in
which the filly could take on $1 million colt
Acrobat (Fastnet Rock) and filly Ashema (I Am
Invincible), who had an $800,000 reserve at
this year’s Inglis Australian Easter Yearling
Sale. Continued on page 2>>

“I have also got her in at Kembla on
the same day, so I will try and weigh up where we head. It will depend on
what barrier draw we get,” Conners said yesterday.
“She had a trial the other day (on the Warwick Farm Pro Ride track last
Thursday) and she did it easily when they ran very fast time.
“She ran second, beaten a head, so if your horse is going all right you
have to give them a run to see what they are capable of.”
A relative cheapie from the Inglis Classic sale for Conners at $30,000
- about a third of the auction average - Shocking Force was bred by Neil
Osborne at Mane Lodge. She is out of Little Shocker (Shocking), a half-
sister to the stakes-placed Capital Commander (Commands) and two-
year-old stakes-placed filly Little Favours (Falvelon).
Conners stepped Shocking Force out at the official two-year-old
barrier trial session
at Randwick on
September 21 where
she finished fourth to
Vaccine (Not A Single
Doubt) before the filly
was sent for a short
spell.
“She’s not very big
and she’d had enough.
I had this race in mind, so I couldn’t keep her going. I gave her a bit of a
break for a few weeks and here we are,” Conners said.
“At the sales, I just thought she was a speedy-looking filly and she’s by
a new sire who is a very well-performed horse overseas.
“I liked the horse as an individual and she wasn’t dear, so that is how
we ended up with her.”
Jay Ford has been booked to ride Shocking Force if Conners does elect
to run her in the Inglis Nursery, a rich sales-restricted two-year-old race.
Late last year, Conners sold his Victory Lodge complex near Warwick
Farm and moved his horses into stables occupied by his trainer-son Marc.
The move has coincided with a change of fortunes for Conners Sr, who has
prepared 12 winners from his past 50 runners.
He said: “I am with my son Marc and I think he’s had a big influence
on where the stable’s going. We spend a bit more time together, but I also
have more time to plan where horses should be racing.
“Placing horses where they’ve got the best advantages is a bit of a trick,
so I have got more time to do that and Marc spends more time at the stables.”
Conners has trained four winners of the Golden Slipper (Gr 1, 1200m),
an Australian Oaks (Gr 1, 2400m), an Australian Derby (Gr 1, 2400m) and
Australian Derby (Gr 1, 2400m) winner, in addition to claiming a host of
feature races in Melbourne during an illustrious career.
However, he does not like the current racing landscape even though
prize-money in NSW is at record levels.

AUSTRALIA
New venue for Magic Millions TasmaniaQuercus Park will host the 2021 Tasmanian
Magic Millions Yearling Sale on Monday,
February 22, Tasbreeders announced yesterday.
Quercus Park, Carrick, the home of Agfest, take
over from Inveresk Showgrounds in hosting the
sale and Tasbreeders will partner with Tasracing
and Rural Youth Tasmania to put on the event.
The yearling sale, which will begin at 12 noon
and takes place the day after a feature raceday in
Launceston, boasts a 122-lot catalogue, with 51
sires and the crops of seven first season stallions
included. “Tasbreeders is excited to partner with
Rural Youth Tasmania and the Quercus Park site,”
said Tasbreeders president David Manshanden.
“This is a major event for the Tasmanian racing
industry and the facilities and infrastructure at
Quercus Park allows us to have a sale in 2021.
With recent graduates including Mystic Journey,
Palentino, The Cleaner and Soul Patch, it’s
easy to understand why the sale is statistically
the best return on investment yearling sale in
Australasia.” On a long-term plan for the venue of
future Tasmanian Magic Millions Yearling Sales,
Manshanden added: “After the completion of
the 2021 sale, Tasbreeders, Tasracing and Magic
Millions will then be undertaking a strategic
review on the location of a long-term site, which
will include Quercus Park as an option.”
Cox to play role in Melbourne Cup reviewVictoria Racing Club director and Godolphin
Australia managing director Vin Cox is among a
list of experts who will provide an independent
viewpoint as part of Racing Victoria’s
International Injury Review, which is focussed
on minimising the occurrence of serious
injuries among international horses. Champion
trainer Chris Waller and veterinarian Dr David
Sykes will also play a key part in the review. The
fatality report of Anthony Van Dyck (Galileo) is
being reviewed, as well as the broader issue of
injuries among international horses who have
been trained out of the Werribee International
Horse Centre during the past decade. Any
recommendations from the review are expected
to be presented to the RV Board for consideration
in the first quarter of 2021. RV CEO, Giles
Thompson, said: “As we have consistently stated,
no stone will be left unturned to consider why
the fatality of Anthony Van Dyck occurred with
a comprehensive fatality report well underway.
We are conscious that the Melbourne Cup is
not the only race internationals run in and that
is why we are looking at the wider international
experience as part of the broader review so that
we can reduce the rate of serious injuries among
international horses in the future.” He added: “We
are committed to seeing the review completed
as soon as is practicable and well in time for the
2021 spring racing carnival, however more than
simply collating information and opinions from
experts in Australia and around the world, it is the
working group’s analysis of available data that will
be critical to develop a genuine understanding of
the challenges to be overcome.”
In-form Wilde sets sights on MillionsSymon Wilde is set to make his debut at next
month’s Magic Millions sales as he prepares to
ramp-up his buying activities in 2021. The in-
form trainer, who recently saddled Allibor (All
Too Hard) and Count Zero (Red) to high-profile
victories, is planning to spend more time on the
sales circuit in the new year. "I might head up to
the Magic Millions this year and see if we can
do a bit of business," Wilde told Racing.com.
"I've never even been but I've had a few people
suggest it might be a good idea to get up there
this summer. I've got a really good foreman in
Liam Hoy here and some excellent staff, so that
will allow me to get out and do the sales circuit
and we'll see what we can find. It's been a great
couple of months and that's largely because
we've got a great set-up now. We've got the sand
track and the paddocks, the pool, treadmill
and everything you need. It's been a ten-year
process, but we like to think it's all starting to
pay off now. We've always bought at the lower
end (of the market) but we don't particularly
aim for that," he added. "I enjoy the stayers, but
the only reason we have a lot of stayers is they
are the ones that we think we can afford.”
Fabergino and Robertson ready to head homeWestern Australian trainer Tiarnna Robertson
and Caulfield Sprint (Gr 2, 1000m) runner-up
Fabergino (Maschino) will end their stay in
Victoria following the Living Legends Sprint
(1000m) at Flemington on Saturday. In between
the six-year-old mare’s Caulfield Sprint run, she
finished unplaced in the AJ Moir Stakes (Gr 1,
1000m) and the Darley Sprint Classic (Gr 1,
1200m). Robertson suffered a broken leg just
before the Darley Sprint, but has been given
clearance to fly home following Fabergino’s
run on Saturday. "I'm getting there, slow and
steady," Robertson told Racing.com of the
injury. "It's been very good (to be told I can fly
home with the borders opening). I'm up and
about and semi-moving around. It will be good
to get home and have a look at the rest of the
team." Of Fabergino, Robertson added: “She is
going well and she looks really happy in herself.

She's appreciated having a bit longer between
runs. If you look at her form, she's always been
a really good fresh horse. We condensed her
prep thinking we would only be over here for a
short time. Now we have extended our stay, it's
probably going to be of benefit for her."
Van Overmeire given Strawb challengeApprentice jockey Jean Van Overmeire will
ride talented mare Strawb (Fastnet Rock)
in the 1300-metre Benchmark 72 event at
Warwick Farm today. The 26-year-old returned
from a period out with a broken shoulder late
in November and is excited to ride the Nathan
Doyle-trained Strawb, who was a warm $2.80
favourite last night having won four of her eight
starts. “She’s a nice horse, a lot of people have a
big rap on Strawb and I’m just the lucky recipient
to be on,’’ Van Overmeire told Racing.com. “I’ve
spoken to a few people about her, obviously I’ve
never ridden her, and everyone’s opinion is very
consistent. So I’ll be following the advice, she’s a
pretty quirky horse to ride. I’ve got to get her out
and keep her comfortable. We’ve drawn six and
we should be able to get the run of the race. I’m
hoping she can be my first winner back.”
Russian Camelot in line for two-start autumnDanny O’Brien is planning to give Russian
Camelot (Camelot) only two starts this autumn,
with the All-Star Mile (1600m) at Moonee Valley
in March preceding an appearance in the Queen
Elizabeth Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m) at Randwick on
April 10. Russian Camelot, who was last seen
finishing eighth in the Melbourne Cup (Gr 1,
3200m), is favoured by a shorter trip according
to O’Brien, who also believes the four-year-old
is well-suited to Moonee Valley, citing his Cox
Plate (Gr 1, 2040m) third in October. "He showed
with his Cox Plate run that he's adept at Moonee
Valley, so it's a nice race to aim him for," O'Brien
said. “By aiming for the All-Star Mile it gives us
a bit more time than if we were setting him for
the Australian Cup.” On the Melbourne Cup,
O’Brien added: "He came through the Melbourne
Cup well considering what a tough race it was.”
TAB fixed odds markets have installed Russian
Camelot as an $8 favourite for the $5 million All-
Star Mile, which will be run on March 13.
Starstruck next for She’s AlightJungle Dawn Classic (Listed, 1400m) winner
She’s Alight (Tavistock) will target a Western
Australian treble, with the Starstruck Classic
(Listed, 1600m) on December 19 next in line
for the mare before she steps up in class for
the La Trice Classic (Gr 3, 1800m) in the new
year. “We spelled her soon after an Ascot win
last May and aimed at the carnival,” trainer
Alan Mathews said. “Saturday was her fourth
start since resuming and she’s hit peak form at
the right time for mares races.” Purchased by
bloodstock agent John Chalmers for $65,000
out of the Cambridge Stud draft at the 2017
New Zealand Bloodstock Premier Yearling Sale,
She’s Alight has seven wins to her name from 19
starts, with earnings just shy of $200,000.
Weather key to ShinshintoDavid Murphy is pleased the rain has
materialised ahead of today’s fixture at Ipswich
as his promising Shinshinto (Golden Archer)
lines up in the Class 2 Handicap over 1350
metres. The four-year-old won a 1400-metre
Class 1 at the Sunshine Coast on August 9
and was turned out for a break following a
disappointing fifth to Rothabye (Rothesay) in a
1600-metre contest at the same venue on August
30. Shinshinto had his first start this campaign
when finishing a game second behind All To Do
(All Too Hard) over an unsuitable 1000 metres
back at the Sunshine Coast on November 13.
Apprentice Justin Huxtable rode him on that
occasion and has retained the mount this
afternoon, with the Ipswich track rated a Soft
5 as of yesterday. “He's second-up and will go
a lot better this time,” Murphy said. “He wasn't
quite ready when he resumed at the Sunshine
Coast and he’ll be a lot better over this trip. He
likes the sting out of the track to do his best so
I’m hoping there might be some rain coming."
Wyong Magic Millions for GleneaglesGleneagles (Capitalist), a $500,000 yearling
purchase by Wattle Bloodstock’s Peter Twomey,
will be given his chance to qualify for the $2
million Magic Millions 2YO Classic (RL, 1200m)
at the Gold Coast next month. The Trent
Busuttin and Natalie Young-trained two-year-
old colt, who is owned by Singapore’s Aramco
Racing syndicate, has impressed in jump
outs in Victoria and was sent to NSW where
he won a 735-metre barrier trial at Randwick
yesterday under jockey Tim Clark. The first foal
out of Group 3 winner Scarlet Billows (Street
Boss), Gleneagles is likely to have his first start
in the $200,000 Wyong Magic Millions 2YO
Classic (RL, 1100m) next Wednesday. In heat
12 yesterday, Gleneagles defeated Cochrane
(Spirit Of Boom) by a long neck with Ovoid
(Exceed And Excel) another half-length away
in third.
Squillani Park under new ownershipThe new owners of South Australian spelling,
pre-training and breeding farm Squillani
Park hope to rekindle relationships with the
thoroughbred industry once they become
accustomed to the Echunga operation. Mother
and daughter Robin and Meghan Dineen
purchased Squillani Park from the estate of the
late Terry Board about seven weeks ago. “It’s
got such great facilities that it seems a shame
for us to have this beautiful property with
only our three or four horses on it,” Meghan
said. “So, we thought we could start with
some spellers. We’ve got a couple of young
warmbloods at the moment whom we bred
specifically with dressage in mind. My mum
previously has played polocrosse and I just had
a little show hack who’s enjoying retirement at
Squillani Park now.” Previously managed by
Kerrie van Tijn, Squillani Park consigned the
highest-priced lot at this year’s Magic Millions
Adelaide Yearling Sale, a colt by Kermadec
(Teofilo), who made $270,000. Van Tijn was
recently appointed as manager of China Horse
Club’s pristine property The Chase in the NSW
Southern Highlands.
Owners allowed back at SA trackwork and trialsThoroughbred Racing SA (TRSA) has lifted
three significant Covid-19-related protocols as
the number of active cases continues to reduce
throughout the state. As of today, owners are
permitted at trials, trackwork and jump-outs,
with each club providing QR check-in codes;
temperature checks are ceasing; and racing

industry participants are allowed to exit the
restricted racing areas and venture into public
spaces to access amenities and talk with owners.
However, it remains the case that patrons,
members and owners are not permitted into the
restricted racing areas. “Given that SA has now
reached its seventh day without any new cases,
no active cases, and 200 in quarantine, we are
looking to ease our protocols,” said TRSA CEO
Nick Redin. “It has been a tough year for all of our
participants and we are looking forward to slowly

Replacement Dalby meeting on MondayFollowing the cancellation of Dalby’s scheduled
meeting yesterday, a replacement fixture has
been programmed at the club on Monday,
December 14. Nominations close at 11AM
AEST today.
NEW ZEALAND
Sydney Cup likely for The Chosen OneThe Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman-trained
The Chosen One (Savabeel), who ran third in
the Caulfield Cup (Gr 1, 2400m) and fourth in
the Melbourne Cup (Gr 1, 3200m), will once
again target the Sydney Cup (Gr 1, 3200m)
as his autumn grand final having finished
a neck second behind Etah James (Raise
The Flag) in the lucrative staying prize last
season. “I think the Sydney Cup will probably
be the target race and it is a case of working
backwards and seeing how he is going into it
to see what lead-ins you give him,” Forsman
said. The Chosen One, a six-time winner from
27 outings, could return in the Herbie Dyke
Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m) at Te Rapa in February.
“Murray did mention it as a potential race for
him so he will be nominated. He will tell us
more than anything,” Forsman added. “He is
getting older and sometimes those stallions
as they get older take a bit longer to come up.
He will carry a bit more weight in the Sydney
Cup this year, and that will be a factor, but
he probably deserves it. He has performed
well, and you would like to think the Sydney
Cup will be a tier or two below what he was
competing against in Melbourne.”
Group 3 ride for PinnApprentice Wiremu Pinn, who recently returned
to race-riding for the third time, will have the
chance to showcase his talents in the saddle
when he partners Samina Bibi (Reliable Man)
in the Eulogy Stakes (Gr 3, 1660m) at Awapuni
on Saturday. Trained by Shaune Ritchie and
Colm Murray, Samina Bibi was an impressive
winner of a Te Rapa maiden first-up, scooting
two and a quarter lengths clear of a 12-strong
field, and lightweight Pinn will retain the ride at
the weekend. “I think she is a very good horse.
She is definitely one to watch out for,” he said.
Pinn is apprenticed to his good friend and rising
Matamata trainer Daniel Miller and the 22-year-
old, who has ridden three winners from 39 rides
since his return, is pleased to be back riding
having quit the sport in February 2019. “I had to
get my head in the right space to come back and
make a living for my family,” Pinn said. “I have
a three-year-old son who turns four in April. I
always wanted to do it. I just wasn’t in the right
headspace at the time. Now that I have had that
time off it has done me good. It one hundred per
cent made me appreciate the racing industry.”
Dragon Leap back in workAvondale Guineas (Gr 2, 1600m) winner
Dragon Leap (Pierro) has returned to Lance
O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott’s Matamata stable
and is building towards an autumn campaign.
The New Zealand Derby (Gr 1, 2400m) fourth
suffered a setback in Sydney during the spring,
which put a premature halt to his Epsom
Handicap (Gr 1, 1600m) campaign. “We have
no real plans at this stage,” Scott said yesterday.
“We will just take him along very quietly over
the next six weeks, work him through his paces
and let the horse guide us. We have been
teaching him to swim this morning and he has
a bit of water-walking to do and a few things in
front of him, but it is nice to have him back in
the stable. He is a quality animal.”
ASIA
HK: Singapore’s Inferno withdrawn from SprintStandout Singapore representative Inferno
(Holy Roman Emperor) has been withdrawn
from Sunday’s Hong Kong Sprint (Gr 1, 1200m)
on veterinary advice. The four-year-old, who
has won eight of his nine starts - including
the Lion City Cup (Listed, 1200m) by two
and a quarter lengths on October 25 - was
yesterday found to be lame on his left foreleg
by the Hong Kong veterinary team and was
subsequently scratched by his trainer Cliff
Brown. Inferno’s defection allows reserve
Stronger (Not A Single Doubt) to make the
final field of 14 while champion jockey Zac
Purton, who was slated to partner Inferno,
has picked up the ride on Amazing Star (Darci
Brahma), who was promoted to the line-up
after Perfect Match (Not A Single Doubt)
sustained an injury on Monday.
HK: Moore on Magical and Mogul but Boudot keeps Order Of Australia rideRyan Moore will retain his partnership with
the seven-time Group 1 winner Magical
(Galileo) in Sunday’s Hong Kong Cup (Gr 1,
2000m), which could be her final start before
retirement, and will also ride Mogul (Galileo)
in the Hong Kong Vase (Gr 1, 2400m),
but Pierre-Charles Boudot will maintain
his partnership with Order Of Australia
(Australia) in the Hong Kong Mile (Gr 1,
1600m). Boudot was in the saddle for Order
Of Australia's shock victory in the Breeders'
Cup Mile (Gr 1, 1m) and his reward is another
spin on the son of Australia (Galileo), who
appears to have been rejuvenated since
dropping in distance. "She's been a great filly,
a really great one, and any time she has been
beaten there has been circumstances against
her which caused it. The ground should be
fine for her and you'd be hoping for a big
run,” O’Brien said of Magical. "Mogul is a
very high-class colt. He ran well in America,
but that was a very slowly-run race and it
didn't suit him at all. I hope you will see a
different type of race on Sunday and that
will suit him. The plan is for him to stay in
training next season.” Of Order Of Australia,
O’Brien added: "We always thought there was
a chance when he goes back to a mile it could
just be his thing and we were lucky to get a
chance to try him over a mile. He did very
well to win in America and everything has
gone well with him since."

BY STEVE MORAN | @ANZ_NEWS
The extraordinary quality of the
Japanese thoroughbred is likely to
be showcased again on Sunday in
the four features which make up
the Hong Kong International Races.
The races have stood up well despite the
impact of Covid-19, which has condemned
the Cup and the Vase to just eight and seven
runners respectively.
The strength of the Australian sprint form
will also be tested as Classique Legend (Not A
Single Doubt), now representing Hong Kong
and trained by Caspar Fownes, takes on ten
local sprinters, two from Japan and one from
Singapore in the Group 1 Sprint at 1200 metres.
The Japanese claimed three of the four
Group 1 races at last year’s meeting and have
also been brilliantly represented in recent times
by Lord Kanaloa (King Kamehameha), Maurice
(Screen Hero), A Shin Hikari (Deep Impact)
and Satono Crown (Marju).
The pandemic has severely limited Japan’s
international forays this year and complicated
preparations for many who were shipped to
Dubai only to have the World Cup meeting
cancelled.
That group included defending Hong Kong
champions Admire Mars (Daiwa Major) and
Win Bright (Stay Gold), who return for the Mile
and Cup respectively.
Admire Mars faces the not insignificant
stumbling block of the Australian-bred Hong
Kong sensation Golden Sixty (Medaglia D’Oro)
in the 1600-metre Group 1, while a seemingly
out-of-form Win Bright, despite having won
the QEII Cup at his only other Hong Kong run,
might, I fancy, be playing second fiddle to
compatriot Danon Premium (Deep Impact) in
the Cup.
Golden Sixty, trained by Francis Lui,
recorded his 13th win from 14 starts and became
just the fourth horse to win ten consecutive
races in Hong Kong, emulating greats Silent
Witness (El Moxie), Beauty Generation (Road
To Rock) and Co-Tack (Top Role), when he won
the Jockey Club Mile on November 22.
He would look to have the local opposition,
whom he’s met of late, covered despite now
meeting all at level weights.
Admire Mars, last year’s runner-up
Waikuku (Harbour Watch) and Order Of
Australia (Australia) are three who might stand
in his way.
Given the Dubai misadventure, Admire
Mars has raced just three times since last
December and just once right-handed at 1600
metres, which was his most recent credible
third to the outstanding Gran Alegria (Deep
Impact), whose run of three straight wins began
with conquering Almond Eye (Lord Kanaloa) in
the Yasuda Kinen.
I would unhesitatingly argue this Japanese
form around Almond Eye and Gran Alegria is
the strongest turf form anywhere in the world
in 2020.
Christophe Soumillon again rides Admire
Mars whose trainer Yasuo Tomomichi’s one
previous HKIR runner was Vivlos (Deep
Impact), who finished second in the 2018 Mile.
That’s some strike rate, which contrasts
interestingly - and cheekily - with those of
two of the world’s great training names who

oppose him here. Aidan O’Brien, with Order
Of Australia, is batting just two from 20 at the
HKIR and both wins came with Highland Reel
(Galileo).
John Size, who runs Waikuku first-up from a
break of almost eight months, is just three wins
from 55 runners in the Group 1s at this fixture.
Mind you, he’s had a further 12 placings and
one of those wins was, of course, with Glorious
Days (Hussonet), who resumed from a six-
month break to win the Mile in 2013.
Order Of Australia certainly adds intrigue,
and is probably overpriced in current markets,
given his Breeders’ Cup Turf Mile win came at
his only start at the distance since his debut on
heavy ground. For the record, O’Brien has run
five three-year-olds in the Mile and none were
placed.
Danon Premium faces two chief rivals in
the Hong Kong Cup - O’Brien’s wonderfully
consistent mare Magical (Galileo) and the
promising French raider Skalleti (Kendargent),
trained by the equally promising Jerome
Reynier.
Remarkably, all three have form behind this
year’s Ranvet and Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner
Addeybb (Pivotal), who ended his 2020 with
victory in the Champion Stakes at Ascot in which
Skalleti and Magical finished second and third
respectively. Danon Premium was third in the
Queen Elizabeth, with Verry Elleegant (Zed) third.
Danon Premium prepared for this with a
solid fourth in the Tenno Sho Autumn behind
Almond Eye. It was his first run for five months
and he led through the first 1200 metres,
clocking a solid 1.12.50 in a race which evolved
in favour of the closers.
Skalleti may be dismissed as a wet-tracker
but there’s enough evidence from his limited
number of runs on good ground to suggest he
might be as capable on a firmer surface.
Tomorrow’s barrier draw may impact the
Sprint but Classique Legend (Not A Single
Doubt) is likely superior to these horses if this
is not one grand final too many, while Hot King
Prawn (Denman) and Computer Patch (Exceed
And Excel) likely have an edge over the "true"
locals.
While run-on Japanese sprinters do not
profile well in this race, Danon Smash (Lord
Kanaloa) and Tower Of London (Raven’s Pass)
add interest. Singapore’s Inferno (Holy Roman
Emperor) was set to play a part as well, but was
withdrawn yesterday.
Danon Smash, with his Gran Alegria form
and the significant engagement of Ryan Moore,
appeals as the best of that trio provided he’s not
slow to begin, which he is wont to do.
The Vase lacks depth and therefore betting
appeal. Tony Cruz, whose HKIR strike rate is
an excellent ten winners from 70 runners, may
strike again with Exultant (Teofilo), who is ably
suited back to 2400 metres and weight-for-age
conditions.
The three-year-old Mogul (Galileo)
represents Ballydoyle after scoring a fast win
the Grand Prix de Paris (from which the form
held up in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, albeit
on soft ground) before settling last and finishing
fifth in a slowly run Breeders’ Cup Turf.
Three-year-olds have three times won the
Vase. The most recent was Highland Reel in
2015 after he’d finished third to Winx (Street
Cry) in the Cox Plate. Five have since competed
and been unplaced.

Shamardal (Giant’s Causeway) mare
Nafithaa hails from a Shadwell family
that includes 1,000 Guineas (Gr 1,
1m) and Prix Marcel Boussac (Gr 1,
1600m) heroine Shadayid (Shadeed) and duly
topped the third day of the Arqana Breeding
Stock Sale when making €51,000 (approx.
AUD$83,250) to Howson & Houldsworth
Bloodstock on Monday.
Consigned by Haras du Mont-Dit-Mont, the
four-year-old was covered by Intello (Galileo)
earlier this year and is out of the stakes-placed
Zamindar (Gone West) mare Lanansaak, a
daughter of the Group-placed Bunood (Sadler’s
Wells).
Bunood, in turn, is a daughter of Sadler's
Wells (Northern Dancer) and Azdihaar (Mr
Prospector), a winning half-sister to the top-
class Shadayid.
Nafithaa, who is unraced, is related to two
winners - the Roger Varian-trained dual scorer
Montather (Dubawi) and Zaajirah (Shamardal),
a promising winner of her only start to date for
the Newmarket trainer at Kempton in October.
Matt Houldsworth said: "She's been bought
for an existing client. At the moment, she
could stay in France. It's hard to buy mares
by Shamardal and she's from a nice Shadwell
family.
"Her two-year-old sister was an impressive
winner for Roger Varian and the three-year-old
brother has won two races from three starts, so
that is a young active family."
'Superbly bred' Thaahira heading to Cracksman
Thaahira, a Dynaformer (Roberto)
relation to high-class broodmare Tanaghum
(Darshaan) and from the family of champion
miler Ribchester (Iffraaj), was the subject of an
intense period of bidding when selling to MAB
Agency for €46,000 (approx. AUD$75,000).
The 13-year-old is out of Irish 1,000 Guineas
(Gr 1, 1m) and Celebration Mile (Gr 2, 1m)
victress Mehthaaf (Nureyev) - a half-sister to
July Cup (Gr 1, 6f) scorer Elnadim (Danzig) - and
is related to Premio Lydia Tesio (Gr 2, 2000m)
winner Najah (Nashwan) and Tanaghum, the
dam of Group 1 winner Matterhorn (Cape
Cross), Andrew Balding's high-class Bangkok
(Australia) and Mujarah (Marju), the producer
of multiple Group 1 winner and young sire
Ribchester.
Thaahira, who has produced four winners
to date, has a yearling colt by Ribchester and
was covered by Iffraaj (Zafonic) this term. She
will visit Cracksman (Frankel) next year.
Purchaser Marc Antoine Berghgracht said:
"She's superbly bred and has more or less
prouced only winners.
"She's carrying to a confirmed sire with a
good covering date. We'll hope the Iffraaj foal
will sell well, and she'll go to Cracksman."
Narvick all out for Coulonces' Autumn
The Coulonces-consigned Autumn Snow
(Invincible Spirit) looked an intriguing lot on
paper and the daughter of Invincible Spirit (Green
Desert) was ultimately snapped up by Narvick
International for €30,000 (approx. AUD$49,000).
Once-raced for Godolphin, Autumn Snow
- who has a Highland Reel (Galileo) yearling
filly and produced a colt by Sioux Nation (Scat
Daddy) this year - is carrying to Le Brivido
(Siyouni) and hails from a high-class family.
The five-year-old is a sister to July Stakes
(Gr 2, 7f) and Sirenia Stakes (Gr 3, 6f) runner-
up Figure Of Speech, while their dam Epic
Similie (Lomitas) is a half-sister to Prix Jean-
Luc Lagardere (Gr 1, 1600m) winner and Haras
du Logis sire Ultra (Manduro). Epic Similie is
also a half-sibling to Prix Minerve (Gr 3, 2500m)
victress Synopsis (In The Wings).
Elbegei falls the way of BBA Ireland
BBA Ireland also signed for a Coulonces lot
when going to €25,000 (approx. AUD$41,000)
for the unraced Dark Angel (Acclamation)
filly Elbegei, who hails from the family of Prix
Corrida winner (Gr 2, 2100m) and Pretty Polly
third (Gr 1, 1m2f) Elopa (Tiger Hill).
The three-year-old, who is currently
carrying to Montfort et Preaux's Recorder
(Galileo), is out of the Listed-winning Dalakhani
(Darshaan) mare Elik, who is a half-sister to
Mugatoo (Henrythenavigator), a dual Group
3 winner for Kris Lees who also ran second in

VERDICT Travel Datuk went close last time but it is hard to trust him withthe selection given his overall record, while Jazz Steed andOversubscribed are both much respected. However, PACKING CHAMPIONmay be capable of a fair step up on his debut and with Ryan Moore an interestingbooking, he is suggested.

VERDICT Another competitive contest for its grade where the vote goes toNUNCHUKS, who keeps on performing to a similar level andhas a handy draw on his side this time. The latter factor will not make it easy foreither Regency Master or Royal Racer, but neither is ruled out. Play Wisewould not be winning out of turn and Fearless Five is respected.

VERDICT It’s easy to make a solid case for Inno Legend, who hasfinished second on consecutive starts at Sha Tin and is still quitelightly raced, but NOBLE MAN did well to make the frame from stall 11 over C&Dthree weeks ago and, from a much more favourable draw today, he can provide JoaoMoreira with yet another winner. Here Comes Ted is poorly drawn today but hasmade good progress this year and is still considered.

VERDICT This can go to GIFT OF LIFELINE, who didn’t get the best ofruns when fourth over C&D four weeks ago and has slipped to atempting mark. Sunny Lad needs to prove he can cope with today’s rise in gradebut he appeared to have a bit left in the tank when winning here last month and issecond choice. Reel Bizzy should also feature.
