      Lets see a 27 quarter to really fire them up at least. Any horse can put a series of 30sec quarters together. Not fast at all. Are you saying the House team are backing the Robertson Team? 😂

      Making Waves: Take A Breath Shines In Arcadia

      By Wandering Eyes · Posted

      In this series, the TDN takes a look at notable successes of European-based sires in North America. This week's column is highlighted by the victory of Take A Breath in California. Santa Ana Glory For Bated Breath Filly Take A Breath (Bated Breath) dropped her nose on the line to capture the GIII Santa Ana Stakes at Santa Anita Park on March 15 (video). Bred by Highgate Stud, the four-year-old filly is raced by Chivalry Thoroughbred Racing and Rancho Temescal Thoroughbred Partners. A 135,000gns buy-back out of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale, the Mark Glatt trainee was formerly trained by William Haggas, and she signed off her European career with a victory at Beverley for Deborah James. She is also a full-sister to GII Dance Smartly Stakes heroine Breath Away and GIII Wilshire Stakes victress Simply Breathless. Her half-sister Serious Notions (Advertise) was third in the Listed Ingabelle Stakes. The quartet are out of the winning Nayef mare Darling Grace, herself a daughter of the stakes winner and multiple group-placed Lady Grace (Orpen). Take A Breath is also kin to G1 Falmouth Stakes winner Giofra (Dansili). Juddmonte's Bated Breath, who stands for £5,000 this year, has sired 24 winners from 35 runners (69%) in the U.S. His stakes scorers from runners there number 12 (34%) with five graded winners among them. Wootton Bassett Filly Strikes In New Orleans Bal Mar Equine's Wooten Warrior (Wootton Bassett) dead-heated for first at Fair Grounds on March 14 (video). Bred by the Awhile Syndicate, she is trained by Al Stall, Jr. The €250,000 Arqana August yearling buy, a daughter of Awhile (War Front), was making her fourth lifetime start. Wooten Warrior is the first foal for her dam, who also has a two-year-old filly by St Mark's Basilica who cost €300,000 at the 2025 edition of that sale to Hurworth Bloodstock and a yearling colt by Frankel. Awhile is a full-sister to stakes winner and G1 Irish 1000 Guineas/G1 Moyglare Stud Stakes third So Wonderful (War Front). The second and third dams, Wonder Of Wonders (Kingmambo) and All Too Beautiful (Sadler's Wells), were each stakes winners who also placed in the G1 Oaks. Coolmore's much-lamented late sire Wootton Bassett has 27 winners from 57 runners (47%) in the States. His eight stakes winners include a trio of Grade I scorers, all three Breeders' Cup winners. Repeat Winners Accent won for the third time in as many starts at Tampa Bay on March 11 (video). The Pinatubo filly is trained by Chad Brown for Jeffrey Drown. Graham Grace Stable's Mary's Lad (Earthlight) won for the second time in six starts when prevailing at Tampa Bay Downs on March 13 (video). Trained by Whit Beckman, the four-year-old gelding came from off the pace to win by a neck.
