Capping a golden hour that Tony Bloom and Ian McAleavy will never forget, Sky Majesty (Blue Point) followed the exploits of Venetian Sun with her own power play in Sunday's G3 Tally-Ho Stud Irish EBF Ballyogan Stakes at Naas. Last year's Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte and Firth Of Clyde winner had warmed up for this with a course-and-distance win in last month's Listed Yeomanstown Stud Irish EBF Stakes and the William Haggas-trained even-money favourite showed how much she had improved in the interim when surging to an authoritative 1 3/4-length success from Vespertilio (Night Of Thunder).

Lining up in a stellar renewal of Deauville's G1 Sumbe Prix Morny as the sole filly, Tony Bloom and Ian McAleavy's Venetian Sun (Starman) did what she has been doing so well in 2025 and got the job done despite the opposition. Tracking the strong pace travelling kindly under Clifford Lee, the 29-10 second favourite edged ahead passing the furlong pole and after outstaying Wise Approach (Mehmas) found the line a short neck ahead of the 11-10 favourite Gstaad (Starspangledbanner). “She does everything so relaxed and has a temperament to die for–she was asleep when I saddled her and only pricked her ears going into the main paddock, which gave me some hope she was waking up,” trainer Karl Burke said of the winner, who now has the complete Group 1/2/3 set having captured the Albany and Duchess of Cambridge. “I've been saying for a little while that she's a special filly and she's proven that today. She has so much ability, but I was very worried about the ground, it's as quick as I've seen it at Deauville and I've been coming here for a few years,” he added. “She'll be better on easier ground and over an extra furlong, so all being well the Moyglare will be next. I've had some good fillies like Laurens and Fallen Angel, but at this stage she's way ahead of them.” Sunday, Deauville, France SUMBE PRIX MORNY-G1, €350,000, Deauville, 8-24, 2yo, c/f, 6fT, 1:08.39, gd. 1–VENETIAN SUN (IRE), 122, f, 2, by Starman (GB) 1st Dam: Johara (Ire) (MSP-Fr), by Iffraaj (GB) 2nd Dam: Hurricane Irene (Ire), by Green Desert 3rd Dam: Summertime Legacy (GB), by Darshaan (GB) 1ST GROUP 1 WIN.

Goodwood's G3 Prestige Fillies' Stakes looked a strong contest on paper and that ultimately played out as the cream rose to the top with Ballydoyle's Precise (Starspangledbanner) enjoying the bragging rights. Sent off the 5-2 second favourite for Sunday's seven-furlong race which forms part of the Breeders' Cup Challenge Series: Win and You're In, the Cork maiden winner tracked the pace under Wayne Lordan before accelerating impressively to get to the front a furlong out. Pressed by Cheveley Park Stud's previously unbeaten 13-8 market-leader Moon Target (Cracksman) to the line, she held on to score by 3/4 of a length as Al Shaqab and Amo Racing's exciting Aylin (St Mark's Basilica) finished 1 3/4 lengths away in third. The winner gets an automatic berth in the $1 million John Deere Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf.

Godolphin and Andre Fabre have a new star on their hands if the evidence of Sunday's G2 Sumbe Prix du Calvados at Deauville is anything to go by. Lining up with confidence behind her, the 11-10 favourite My Highness (Ghaiyyath) who had won a brace of conditions events went through the seven-furlong juvenile staging post with a degree of comfort despite the strong pace set by the Princess Margaret winner Fitzella (Too Darn Hot). Swamping that British challenger at the furlong pole, the homebred drew away under Cristian Demuro to score by 1 1/4 lengths and clear of the rest. Godolphin representative Louise Benard revealed the team's regard for the winner afterwards. “This was a test to confirm what we think about her–you can be confident beforehand, but the only judge is the finish line and she showed her class,” she said. “She is adaptable and has improved with every race and has never had a hard time. Hopefully we can expect more and if necessary she could have one more run before the Prix Marcel Boussac, but Mr Fabre will decide that.” Sunday, Deauville, France SUMBE PRIX DU CALVADOS-G2, €119,000, Deauville, 8-24, 2yo, f, 7fT, 1:20.73, gd. 1–MY HIGHNESS (IRE), 123, f, 2, by Ghaiyyath (Ire) 1st Dam: Majestic Queen (Ire) (GSW-Eng & Ire, $235,278), by Kheleyf 2nd Dam: Night Fairy (Ire), by Danehill 3rd Dam: Sassenach (Ire), by Night Shift 1ST BLACK-TYPE WIN; 1ST GROUP WIN.

i agree with that,but believe its a good thing if people with horses do see them differently as curious says, because that way they have a better chance of a longer enjoyable life.And thats what i'm all for if possible. i get that everyones reality is different. I've never told anyone what they should or shouldn't be doing with their horses, on the contrary,i have been told many ,many times over the years i should dispose of our older horses Thats why, when you said to me,don't foist my opinions on you ,i thought,hang on,the opposite is actually true.its others who think like you who have tried to foist their opinions on me. I'm not saying you are trying to do that,but that is what i have had to listen from many others over the years. the dairy cows,in my ideal world they should be given a gradual stress free reduction in reliance on their mums,and they should a least be given the chance of life to the point where they would have been weaned by their mums had it occurred naturally..6 to 8 months of life seems a much better outcome than 4 days. Actually i go past some dairy farms each day and have observed how the mums look and behave. I get the impression its soul destroying to see their calves removerd after 4 days. Thats what they look like they are thinking to me.You would know that anyway.But hey that ain't going to happen,its unrealistic as farming is all about the money these days. I have known dairy farmers,who actually don't send their bobby calves away at 4 days old,simply because they don't feel comfaortable treating their animals that way. i'm not vegaterian,but only eat meat about 2 or 3 times a year. No chicken. just fish and veges these days..But each to their own. I never preach to anyone about not eating meat.personal choice is what i believe in.
