The first yearling to break seven figures during the Arqana August Yearling Sale was lot 104, an elegant son of Wootton Bassett and the Invincible Spirit mare High Celebrity, a winner of the G3 Prix d'Arenberg. Bred by Jean-Philippe Dubois and consigned by Haras des Capucines, he was knocked down to MV Magnier for €2.3 million. His dam, already responsible for the stakes-placed Galileo duo of Friendly Face and G2 Queen's Vase second Highbury, was also second in the G2 Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes and third in the G1 Cheveley Park Stakes. The third dam is four-time American Grade I winner Surfside (Seattle Slew).

DEAUVILLE, FRANCE — There have been few more rapturous receptions to a winner in the usually reserved enclosure of Deauville than that given to Diego Velazquez on this sweltering Sunday afternoon. Sam Sangster completed what could well be one of the most significant deals of his career earlier this week, ensuring that the Frankel colt who had hitherto run in Derrick Smith's silks for the Coolmore partnership instead bore the colours which were so intrinsically linked to the early days of that empire. Arguably the most famous carrier of those silks was Sadler's Wells, bred by Sangster's father Robert and trained at Ballydoyle by Vincent O'Brien before a stallion career that would rewrite the record books and put Coolmore Stud at the epicentre of the bloodstock world. The legendary sire provided his home team with Galileo, who in turn provided Juddmonte with Frankel, who has now in some respects completed the circle in delivering Sam his first Group 1 win and the prospect of a tantalising stud career ahead for Diego Velazquez. Breed to race to breed. A director of the National Stud in Newmarket, where his half-brother Ben was previously chairman, Sam Sangster was bestowed with a name that will open doors for him in racing, but he long ago proved himself to have the eye of a horseman, the manners to make him well liked and, perhaps most importantly, a genuine passion for the sport of horseracing. The man was moved to tears and visibly shaking in the aftermath of Diego Velazquez's win in the Aga Khan Studs Prix Jacques Le Marois, and this was no show put on for the cameras. “We've been hunting for a horse for the National Stud for a while now,” he said. “The team at Coolmore were so kind to let me get in on him. I went to Ballydoyle and saw him. Honestly, he blew me away when he came out of the box. I wanted to try everything to try and secure him.” God loves a trier, and apparently so does John Magnier, as the deal was sealed in ink less than a week ago. Diego Velazquez will stand at the National Stud in 2026 alongside Stradivarius, Bradsell, Rajasinghe and Lope Y Fernandez, who remains part-owned by Coolmore. The four-year-old travelled sweetly in his first start since winning the G2 Minstrel Stakes a month ago. Always handy on Deauville's straight mile, Diego Velazquez went on from Dancing Gemini and looked set to win easily when the rejuvenated Notable Speech threw down a late challenge along the stands' rail to force a photo. “Don't!” Sangster said, when asked whether he thought he had won the race. He has after all suffered the agony in recent years of watching Kathmandu being denied by a head by Rouhiya in last year's Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and Isaac Shelby take the same spot in the Poule d'Essai des Poulains. This time the narrow verdict went his way. “Aidan was very confident. Even in the pre-parade ring, I think I was the first one in there half an hour before the horse. Aidan just filled me with confidence that he's in the best place he's ever had him. So it kind of gave me a bit more of a spring in my step because I've been pretty nervous all week.” He continued, “Obviously, it's an incredibly emotional moment for me seeing the old man's colours come in. And it's my first Group 1 winner in those colours. We have been knocking on the door, and it was nice to reverse that,” he added. “God, we are lucky that we are getting him and he's coming to the UK. We'll be offering him to British breeders. And now he's a Group 1 winner over a mile – just a small update! “He's so genuine, he's so tough. And he's a son of Frankel. Thank you to Aidan and all the team, and to Christophe Soumillon.” MV Magnier, who had bought Diego Velazquez from his breeder Denis Brosnan of Croom House Stud for 2.4m gns at the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale, was among the first to congratulate Sangster in the winner's enclosure. The family ties run deep, with Magnier's father John and grandfather Vincent O'Brien having long been friends and business partners with the Sangsters. This particular equine family has also been kind to Coolmore. Diego Velazquez's half-brothers Broome and Point Lonsdale, both by Australia, have won 12 group races between them for Aidan O'Brien to add to the four he had himself won prior to his change of ownership. “It's a great result for Sam Sangster,” said Magnier. “He put his neck on the line and the horse came up trumps for him.” He added, “Sam really deserves it, and in fairness to him and [brothers] Ben and Adam, they've all got a great eye for a horse. “Having the Sangster colours back in Ballydoyle and winning a Group 1 means a lot to everyone.” The post ‘An Incredibly Emotional Moment’: National Hero Sangster Delivers G1 Stallion for Newmarket appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Godolphin's Group 1 scorer Tornado Alert (Too Darn Hot) will be freshened for the rest of the summer with the G2 Bahrain International Trophy in November penciled in as a long-term target, according to trainer Saeed bin Suroor. A winner at two, the son of Bint Almatar (Kingmambo) ran fourth in the G1 2000 Guineas in May and was sixth to Lambourn (Australia) in the G1 Derby at Epsom in June. Wheeled back in the G3 Hampton Court Stakes at Royal Ascot, the bay was second that day. He was most recently seen in action in the G1 Grosser Dallmayr Preis Bayerisches Zuchtrennen, where he ran out a 2 1/2-length winner on July 27. “He's fine, in good form, but I've given him a break,” said bin Suroor. “It's likely that I'll keep him back for the race in Bahrain. I just want to give him an easy time and miss York as he had been very busy, he ran in the Guineas, then the Derby, then Royal Ascot. “I'll get him started on some light exercise, then in September we can start working him before going to Bahrain, he'll be ready for it. He needed a break.” Other Middle Eastern targets are also under consideration for Tornado Alert, including Dubai and Saudi Arabia. He added, “After Bahrain I'll take him to Dubai and if he's good enough, I'll take him to Saudi Arabia. We'll see how good he is on the dirt first and if not he can run in the turf race, I'll have to see.” The post Bahrain Trophy On The Docket For Tornado Alert appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
