Returning to domestic duty after his Far Eastern ventures, last year's King George Hero Goliath (Adlerflug) cruised to a welcome facile win in Sunday's G3 La Coupe at ParisLongchamp. Sauntering to the front from the outset under Christophe Soumillon, the 9-10 favourite only had to stretch inside the last two furlongs to dispatch the filly Grand Stars (Sea The Stars) by 1 3/4 lengths. “We decided not to fight with him and let him be comfortable and when he's like that he's very good,” trainer Francis-Henri Graffard said of Resolute Bloodstock and Philip Baron Von Ullmann's flagbearer, who had run a rare tame race in the G1 QEII Cup in April. “He can quicken off any pace, he just needs to be relaxed as he is a horse that can be very tense. That's why he ran so poorly at Sha Tin, so I'm very happy and we can re-start with him. This race will do him good and I have to discuss with the entourage, but we will target the big races again.” The post King George Hero Goliath Back In The Groove At ParisLongchamp appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Britney Wong Po-ni landed consecutive Sha Tin doubles headlined by Cheval Valiant’s all-the-way win in the Class Four Lai On Handicap (1,000m) at Sha Tin on Sunday. The 26-year-old smashed out of the gates on the Charm Spirit galloper and never looked back, crossing over to the stands rail from gate nine and setting comfortable fractions on the front end. When the pair were faced by a myriad of challengers in the final 200m, Wong galvanised her willing partner and gamely fended off $57 roughie...View the full article -

Fast but not quite fast enough for six furlongs, Maranoa Charlie (Wootton Bassett) was back in his comfort zone on Sunday and back in the winner's enclosure at the end of ParisLongchamp's G3 Prix Paul de Moussac. Let loose from the outset of the seven-furlong G1 Prix Jean Prat prep by Aurelien Lemaitre, the 19-10 favourite who was fourth in Chantilly's G3 Prix Texanita speed test last month relished the opportunity to dominate from an early point. Chased to the line by the Wertheimers' Silius (Dubawi) as he had been when staging a successful comeback in the G3 Prix Djebel in April, Peter Maher's colour-bearer kept rolling for a two-length verdict, with another Wertheimer homebred 2 1/2 lengths away in third in the filly Polyvega (Lope De Vega). “I can't wait to see him in the Jean Prat next time,” trainer Christopher Head said. “He's showing that he's not a sprinter or a miler, he's in between. He can also do well in soft ground and he keeps surprising us–these Wootton Bassetts are really incredible.” The post Wootton Bassett’s Maranoa Charlie Dominates The Paul De Moussac appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Light Years Charm continued his march up the ratings and trainer David Eustace’s impressive first Hong Kong campaign kept rolling during the season’s first twilight meeting at Sha Tin on Sunday. Chasing back-to-back victories on Class Two debut, Light Years Charm was sent off the $1.7 favourite for the Lee On Handicap (1,400m), but there were a few nervous moments for his supporters and connections. Not known for being the quickest away, Light Years Charm found himself detached from the field...View the full article -

Fabrice Chappet trainee Safia (Sottsass), a debut scorer at ParisLongchamp in October, opened this year with a TDN Rising Star performance at Saint-Cloud in March and bounced back off a fifth in a hot renewal of April's G3 Prix de la Grotte to secure a career high in Sunday's Listed Prix Melisande at ParisLongchamp. Employing waiting tactics in fifth until turning for home, she careered forward to seize control with 300 metres remaining and was ridden out in the closing stages to defeat Ilda Rosa (Lope De Vega) and La Bonne Etoile (Sea The Moon) by 1 1/2 lengths and a head. Safia becomes the first stakes winner for her sire, who now stands at the Shizunai Stallion Station in Japan. “She's a very nice filly who won well first time out in October and she won again first time out this year,” said trainer Fabrice Chappet. “We knew from the strat she would have no problem staying a mile-and-a-quarter. We skipped the [G1 Poule d'Essai des] Pouliches because going one mile on fast ground against the best fillies would have been tough. She could now go for the [G3] Prix de Psyche at Deauville.” Safia is the first of two foals and lone scorer out of an unraced half-sister to G3 Prix Chloe victrix Suphala (Frankel) and the stakes-winning G3 Prix du Calvados third Sivoliere (Sea The Stars). The latter produced the dual stakes-placed Doctor Carl (Fastnet Rock). The February-foaled bay's second dam, Listed Prix de Lieurey victrix and GIII Noble Damsel Handicap third Sefroua (Kingmambo), is a half-sister to G1 Cheveley Park Stakes third Pursuit Of Glory (Fusaichi Pegasus) out of G1 Coronation Stakes heroine Sophisticat (Storm Cat). Sophisticat is a daughter of celebrated US champion Serena's Song (Rahy), who struck gold 11 times at the highest level. Safia is a half-sister to the unraced 2-year-old colt Noble Memory (Zarak). Sunday, ParisLongchamp, France PRIX MELISANDE-Listed, €55,000, ParisLongchamp, 6-8, 3yo, f, 10fT, 2:06.54, sf. 1–SAFIA (FR), 123, f, 3, by Sottsass (Fr) 1st Dam: Stay Home (Fr), by Le Havre (Ire) 2nd Dam: Sefroua, by Kingmambo 3rd Dam: Sophisticat, by Storm Cat TDN Rising Star. 1ST BLACK-TYPE WIN.
