Making it two-for-two on the card for the lethal combination of Aidan O'Brien, Ryan Moore and Wootton Bassett, Beautify ended the unbeaten run of Lady Iman (Starman) in The Curragh's G2 Airlie Stud Stakes. Sent to the lead from the outset, the homebred daughter of Dansili's G3 Munster Oaks winner Words and granddaughter of Moonstone kept finding as that 8-15 favourite threatened inside the final furlong. Pulling clear at the line, the 2-1 second favourite who was third on debut over this course and six-furlong trip last month registered a two-length success, with Al Shira'aa Racing's €1million Arqana Deauville August sensation Skydance (Night Of Thunder) 1 1/4 lengths away in third.

Such is the record of The Curragh's Barronstown Stud Maiden, it is a given that Aidan O'Brien reserves one of his best for the seven-furlong contest and Dorset lived up to the billing to become Wootton Bassett's latest TDN Rising Star. Runner-up on debut to stablemate Amadeus Mozart over course and distance earlier this month, the grey relative of the dual 1,000 Guineas heroine Winter was sent straight to the front by Ryan Moore. Kept company throughout by the yard's newcomer Benvenuto Cellini (Frankel), the 4-9 favourite safely held that son of Newspaperofrecord at bay to score by 1 1/2 lengths, with the Joseph O'Brien-trained Al Haarith (Lope De Vega) 2 3/4 lengths away in third. Making it 15 TDN Rising Stars for the sire, the €400,000 Goffs Orby Book 1 graduate Dorset is one of five among the stable's current crop of juveniles after Albert Einstein, Italy, Simply Astounding and Albert Einstein. “He's a lovely straighforward horse who will get further,” commented O'Brien, who had won this race with City Of Troy, Rip Van Winkle, Gleneagles, Roderic O'Connor, Duke Of Marmalade, Horatio Nelson and Australia. “Ryan gave him an uncomplicated ride and he's a good mover who could go for any of those races–the Futurity, the Tyros or Newmarket for the Superlative. The runner-up is lovely and he travelled well. With the run under his belt, he'll be fairly hot in a maiden next time.” 1st-Curragh, €20,000, Mdn, 6-28, 2yo, c/g, 7fT, 1:24.48, gd.

Saturday’s A$160,000 Asahi Super Dry Handicap (1800m) at Rosehill marked a deserved breakthrough for the super-consistent Misterkipchoge (NZ) (Ocean Park). The New Zealand-bred son of Ocean Park had won only once in his 20-race career before Saturday, but his last 12 starts dating back to last September had produced two seconds, five thirds, four fourths and a fifth. The four-year-old was an emergency for Saturday’s Benchmark 78 handicap, but he snuck into the field and capped that long run of consistent form with an overdue win. Misterkipchoge was ridden by Jean Van Overmeire, who pushed him forward out of the gates to take an early lead. He later settled in third behind Ganbare (Maurice) and Monarchs Brae (Highland Reel) when they slid past him from their wide gates and took up the pace going into the back straight. The Chris Waller-trained Misterkipchoge surged through in between that pair to lodge his claim after coming around the home turn, taking the lead at the 250m mark. The biggest challenge came from Misterkipchoge’s stablemate Pure Alpha (NZ) (Ardrossan), who loomed as a distinct danger on his outside. But Misterkipchoge rose to the challenge and held on grimly, snatching victory by a nose. Racing in the colours of Sir Owen Glenn’s Go Bloodstock, Misterkipchoge has now had 21 starts for two wins, eight placings and A$254,925. Misterkipchoge was bred by Cliff Erb and is by Ocean Park out of the Mastercraftsman mare Porotene Mhia (NZ). Second dam Ghia (NZ) (Kaapstad) is a half-sister to Freequence (NZ) (O’Reilly), the dam of Group One winner I Do (NZ) (No Excuse Needed) and Listed Queensland Cup (3200m) winner Iggi Pop (NZ) (Savabeel). Erb purchased Porotene Mhia for $10,000 from a 2020 online auction on Gavelhouse.com. Misterkipchoge began his career in the Stratford stable of Gavin Sharrock, finishing sixth and fourth in two starts at Wanganui and New Plymouth in 2023 before being sold privately.

New Zealand-bred colt Matahga (NZ) (Tivaci) stamped himself as an exciting spring three-year-old prospect with a hard-fought victory in the A$120,000 Listed David Peacock Oaklands Plate (1400m) at Morphettville on Saturday. The step up to black-type level came less than a month after Matahga’s raceday debut, where he finished second over 1100m at Morphettville on May 31. The son of Tivaci won his next race in smart style at Murray Bridge on June 14, earning favouritism for Saturday’s Oaklands Plate. Matahga was squeezed back and settled third-last for jockey Jacob Opperman before starting to weave through the pack. Opperman spotted a narrow opening two off the fence in the straight and drove Matahga through, bounding up on the inside of Ethereum Girl (Maurice) and collaring her in the last couple of strides to win by a neck. “He came off the bit a long way from home,” Opperman said. “I thought there was no point in trying to go around them, which would probably cost us the race. I had to pick and choose and find a way through. “When we got into the clear, I thought he was going to have to really pick up. To his credit, he really put the ears back and had a go and got there.” Matahga has now had three starts for two wins and a second, earning A$144,800 in stakes for the Brook family’s Saddlers Knife. Matahga was bred by Simon Lawson and is by Tivaci out of the Reliable Man mare Mohegan Star (NZ), who is a half-sister to the Gr.1 Blue Diamond (1200m) winner and new Little Avondale Stud stallion Little Brose. Waikato Stud offered Matahga in Book 1 of Karaka 2024, where trainer Phillip Stokes bought him for $80,000. “He’s a nice colt, this horse,” Stokes said. “He dug deep today and went for runs. “We were cursing Jacob for a while, thinking he might have been better to go around them, but he rode him very well. He’ll take a lot out of it, this colt. He’s nice horse going forward. I’m just rapt for the Brooks, who own him. “He’s come a long way in this prep. The team have done a fantastic job with him. He’ll go for a break now and I think he deserves to be aimed at some of the nice three-year-old races in the spring. “We bought him in New Zealand. David (Brook) picked out a few yearlings when we were over at Karaka, and he liked this horse, and we were able to bid on him and get him. He wasn’t an expensive horse either, so it’s going great.” View the full article -

Seven-year-old mare Bacio Del Mist (NZ) (Reliable Man) took her earnings past A$300,000 with a career-best triumph in Saturday’s A$160,000 Irresistible Pools Stayers’ Cup (2400m) at Rosehill. The grey daughter of Reliable Man was bought for only A$30,000 from the 2019 Magic Millions National Yearling Sale. She has now had 44 starts for seven wins, eight placings and A$356,505. Trainers Lee and Cherie Curtis stepped Bacio Del Mist down in class for Saturday’s assignment, having lined her up in Listed company in her last two starts for a fifth in the Lord Mayor’s Cup (2000m) and a 10th from a wide gate in the Winter Cup (2400m). She settled in the second half of the field on Saturday for jockey Alysha Collett before warming into her work stylishly in the straight. Bacio Del Mist outstayed fellow grey Mormona through the final 100m and won by a neck, with a similar margin back to Casual Connection (NZ) (Complacent) in third. “She’s a marvel for a $30,000 yearling,” Lee Curtis said. “She has just had no luck in this campaign – not just with the barriers, although they’ve been horrible too, but just missing out on runs in races. “When she ran fifth in the Epona (Gr.3, 1900m), we had her in another race that day and she missed out by one, and she ran super in the Epona. Over the 2400m she would have run really well. “She has had no luck and she has been running good races too. She is such a gutsy thing and so tough.” Curtis suggested that plans to retire Bacio Del Mist to stud might be put on hold after Saturday’s win. “The plan was to go through this prep and wind it up, but the owners might want to race her for another 12 months now,” he said. Bacio Del Mist was bred by Westbury Stud owner Gerry Harvey and is a daughter of Westbury stallion Reliable Man. The dam of Bacio Del Mist is the unraced Encosta de Lago mare Bacio Del Vinto, whose four other winners include the Gr.3 Manawatu Cup (2250m) winner Marroni (NZ) (Makfi) and the eight-race winner St Lawrence (NZ) (Redwood).
