The Oaks Stud is hoping Ruakaka’s feature three-year-old event can again provide a springboard to elite level success. The farm’s colours were carried to victory in the Gr.3 Northland Breeders’ Stakes (1200m) five years ago and the Cambridge operation again had reason to celebrate a top result after Saturday’s contest. The Oaks Stud’s young resident sire U S Navy Flag was to the fore with his progressive son So Naïve (NZ) an impressive winner of the event for trainers Bruce Wallace and Grant Cooksley. “The Breeders’ Stakes has been a good race for us with Catalyst (NZ) (Darci Brahma) winning it and he went on to greater things so we’re hoping this horse can keep improving and win a big race,” The Oaks General Manager Rick Williams said. The injury-plagued Catalyst triumphed in the Gr.1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) off the back of success in the Gr.2 Hawke’s Bay Guineas (1400m). “Every stallion needs a big horse, but it’s a sticky time and, talking with other studmasters, it is very quiet apart from the obvious horses,” Williams said. “The numbers being bred is the biggest problem so we need all the good results we can get, and I will have a good draft of U S Navy Flag’s going to the yearling sales. “Thirteen out of the 14 sold earlier this year and they sold very well.” He is the third Southern Hemisphere stakes winner for U S Navy Flag, who has been crowned both a champion first and second season sire. His son Pendragon (NZ) claimed the Gr.2 Auckland Guineas (1400m) and Chantilly Lace has won twice at Listed level in the Wanganui Guineas (1200m) and Castletown Stakes (1200m), while To Catch A Thief and Aprilia (NZ) have been Group One placegetters. “I hope we can continue the momentum into the spring, you need a big six weeks to get the stallion full and So Naïve has produced exactly the start we wanted,” Williams said. “Every stallion needs a Group One star to really get them rolling.” A son of the late Bernardini mare Altai Rose (NZ), So Naïve was a two-time winner during his first preparation and ran fourth in the Gr.2 Eclipse Stakes (1200m) for owner and long-time stable client Able International. He was purchased out of Kilgravin Lodge’s draft at New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling Sale draft for $37,500. “I know Grant (Cooksley) pretty well and when we looked at him last season, we knew he wasn’t a two-year-old, he was quite a tall, angular colt then,” Williams said. “It’s no surprise he has furnished, I did see him at the trials and he has developed a lot.” U S Navy Flag, who stands alongside The Chosen One (NZ) (Savabeel) and Roc de Cambes (NZ) (Red Ransom), was a multiple Group One-winning son of War Front for master trainer Aidan O’Brien. “We showed him to the Marcus Oldham group on Sunday and I’ve never seen him look better,” Williams said. “I think the fact that he didn’t have to shuttle has helped, he’s really settled in and has just made him. He’s let down now and he’s just a beautiful horse. “For a horse with his record, I would have thought we would have had more mares booked this year and hopefully there will be more activity after the weekend’s result.” U S Navy Flag previously shuttled to Coolmore in Ireland before he was purchased outright by The Oaks and his Northern Hemisphere representatives include the multiple stakes winners Ocean Vision and Love Reigns.

Amateur jockey Olivia Helagi was thrilled to notch up her first riding win at Arawa Park on Sunday when guiding the Murray Garrett-trained Impaired Vision (NZ) (Rock ‘n’ Pop) to victory in the Patrons Race & Flair Amateur Riders (1950m). The pair were caught three wide in the early stages of the race before Helagi asked her charge to improve at the 800m mark to eventually sit parked outside leader Rodolfo (NZ) (Nom du Jeu). They hit the lead with 200m to go and ran out 3-1/2 length victors on the Heavy10 footing. “Murray said to get going early because he (Impaired Vision) takes a little while to get into it,” Helagi said. “I kept him out on the better part of the track, I wanted to get him in but we didn’t get the opportunity to do that. “He was travelling really well. The bend seemed like it was taking forever to get to the straight but he kept slogging it out and kept trying, he is a tough old boy. “I am absolutely stoked to get the win.” Helagi was also rapt to get the result for Garrett and his wife Julie, who also bred and own the six-year-old gelding. “I am incredibly grateful to Murray and Julie for the opportunity to ride Impaired Vision, and all the hard work they have put into him,” she said. Helagi’s win has been a few years in the making, with the Auckland hoop having ridden as an amateur and apprentice jockey in six of the last seven seasons, albeit in a reduced capacity with 15 rides in that time. The 31-year-old rider is enjoying her time in the saddle on raceday, something she aspired to do a decade ago when entering the industry while studying at university. “I have always been involved with horses but I didn’t get into racing until I moved down to Auckland for university,” she said. “Davina Waddell (trainer) was advertising for a trackwork rider, I hadn’t ridden racehorses before but I had ridden really naughty ponies and I was hoping that would translate. “I have been working for Davina for the last 10 years or so. She puts me on at the trials and I have been doing a lot of track work for her. I did an apprenticeship for a little bit that didn’t quite work out, so I got my amateur license again and I am back riding amateur races. “I haven’t been riding consistently on raceday, I am just trying to get back into it.” After getting her first taste of victory, Helagi is keen for more, and is looking to increase her riding engagements in the amateur ranks. “I just want to keep riding as much as I can,” she said. “I just love riding at the trials and races.” View the full article

What Ballarat Races Where Ballarat Turf Club – 240 Kennedys Rd, Miners Rest VIC 3352 When Tuesday, August 20, 2024 First Race 1:30pm AEST Visit Dabble The all-weather surface at Ballarat will host a competitive eight-race card on Tuesday, August 20, commencing at 1:30pm AEST. Intermittent showers are forecast throughout the afternoon but should not cause any issues in regards to kickback, meaning we should get a fair surface for all. See below for our free Ballarat betting tips and quaddie selections. Best Bet at Ballarat: Excellent Lover Excellent Lover could not have been any more impressive when winning her debut at this course over 1100m. She travelled three wide with no cover and was still too good for maiden company. Considering the Exceed And Excel filly is drawn in barrier three for this 1200m BM58 assignment, Blaike McDougall will give her every opportunity to reign supreme once more. Best Bet Race 8 – #8 Excellent Lover (3) 3yo Filly | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Blaike McDougall (59.5kg) +200 with Bet365 Next Best at Ballarat: Miss Toronado After a dominant maiden win on the Ballarat synthetic on July 14, Miss Toronado headed to Sandown on July 31 and simply never went a yard on the Heavy 8 deck. She now returns to the scene of her debut victory, while barrier one is a big bonus for this 1000m scamper. Alana Kelly should get a cheap lead from the gun draw, and that should prove beneficial inside the final 200m. Next Best Race 7 – #9 Miss Toronado (1) 3yo Filly | T: Tom Conlan | J: Alana Kelly (57.5kg) +200 with Picklebet Best Value at Ballarat: Miss Cheviots Miss Cheviots appeared to take a liking to the Ballarat synthetic when running third in BM58 grade over 1200m on August 13. Despite stepping up to a BM64 on the seven-day backup, the Street Boss mare is rarely beaten by much in this sort of company. She will be making her run from the rear of the field, and if they overdo it out in front, Miss Cheviots will be the one charging home late.

Archaic Smile will lineup at Taupo on Wednesday. Photo: Race Images PN Archaic Smile held her own among the top juveniles last season, and she will kick off an exciting spring three-year-old campaign on Wednesday at Taupo. The daughter of Saxon Warrior earned her maiden success at start two last November, and her upward trajectory continued, winning the Listed Wellesley Stakes (1100m) and finishing less than a length behind star filly Velocious when second in the Group 1 Sistema Stakes (1200m). A commendable fourth in the Group 1 Manawatu Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) completed her preparation, and Tony Pike, who prepares Archaic Smile out of his Cambridge base, had plenty of praise for her efforts. “She showed early talent and is a very tough, genuine filly. We had no soundness issues with her through her two-year-old season, she just seemed to hold her condition and enjoy her racing,” he said. “She was solid right the way through, winning at Listed level and being competitive in the top two-year-old races. “She seems to have strengthened up nicely over her break and trialled well at Te Rapa under a quiet ride.” Archaic Smile will line-up against a couple of familiar rivals in Velocious and Alabama Lass, who may also be on a path to the Group 3 Gold Trail Stakes (1200m) at the opening day of the Hawke’s Bay Spring Carnival on September 7. “This is the lead in to the Gold Trail Stakes, so she’s definitely not at peak fitness, but she’s drawn a nice gate (1) and all of these fillies are in a similar boat,” Pike said. “Hopefully the track’s not too bad, I think she’ll run nicely and head through the three-year-old fillies series through the spring and should be competitive.” Ryan Elliot will take the reins aboard Archaic Smile, while her stablemate Cannon Hill, who returns in a fresh state will be ridden by Matt Cartwright. Cannon Hill was solid in strong company as a three-year-old, and Pike indicated the Ardrossan gelding had shown plenty of physical improvement heading into the new racing season. “He’s a horse that has really improved from three to four, he trialled nicely at Te Rapa, and I think he’s going to be in for quite a good season,” Pike said. “He’s drawn a wide gate (16), he’s probably going to struggle around the tight Taupo circuit, but we are wanting to get a run under his belt ahead of the Hawke’s Bay carnival.” Horse racing news View the full article

Mark Twain has been ruled out of a Melbourne Cup campaign with a tendon injury. Photo: Kenton Wright (Race Images) Mark Twain, New Zealand’s leading hope for this year’s Group 1 Melbourne Cup (3200m), has been ruled out of spring racing with a tendon strain. The five-year-old gelding gained automatic entry into the iconic race with victory in the Listed Roy Higgins (2600m) at Flemington in March, which followed his placing in the Group 2 Auckland Cup (3200m) at Ellerslie earlier that month. Trainers Roger James and Robert Wellwood were excited about campaigning their charge in Melbourne this spring, however, those dreams have been dashed after the five-year-old pulled up with an injury over the weekend. “He has suffered a setback, he has got a slight tendon strain,” James said. “He presumably did it when working on Saturday morning. “He will probably be off the scene for some time. To rehabilitate 100 percent from a tendon strain he probably wouldn’t be seen in public for 12 months. “It is gutting for the stable and all of his connections as well.” Mark Twain was bred by Taikorea Thoroughbreds Ltd and is raced by Australian syndicator OTI Racing. While one spring campaign has ended, James is looking forward to commencing the preparations of his stable’s two other leading lights, Orchestral and Dionysus, in the Group Trial (1100m) at Taupo on Wednesday. “They are in lovely order,” James said. “We have got ideas on what we might do, but everything runs off the trial and what they do there.” Horse racing news View the full article

2022 Everest champion Giga Kick. (Photo by George Sal/Racing Photos) The Clayton Douglas-trained Giga Kick has produced a strong piece of work on the Kensington circuit at Randwick on Monday morning in preparation for his return to racing in the Group 3 Concorde Stakes (1000m) on September 7. It had been over a year since the 2022 Everest (1200m) winner had stepped out in Sydney, with James McDonald taking the reins aboard the now five-year-old gelding in the third barrier trial of the morning. He was niggled along in the home straight by McDonald, and the son of Scissor Kick obliged, getting to within 1.3 lengths of Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m) winner, Lady Of Camelot, in the 850m jump-out. The pair cruised away from their rivals, with Linebacker, Celestial Legend, and Democracy Manifest rounding out the remaining placings in the star-studded five-horse barrier trial. The Concorde Stakes has been earmarked as the return date for Giga Kick as the Clayton Douglas barn set their sights on the 2024 Everest later in the campaign. Although a slot holder has yet to secure the services of Giga Kick, horse racing bookmakers aren’t taking any chances, placing him on the second line of betting at $9.00 for the $20 million feature.

The daughter of Street Boss had always shown promise throughout her career but had not been able to capture a Group win. However, after getting a great run behind the leader race favourite Red Card ($3.90), Meech allowed her mare to find a rhythm before releasing the brakes to then idle past the leader and boot clear in the final 200m. Rose Quartz ($4.60) appeared as though she was going to challenge the winner, but was a bit wayward and finished second, whilst La Danseuse Rogue ($34.00) ran another honest race at Group level to run home into third place. 2022: Yendall guides Literary Magnate to success On a comeback from a serious neck injury, Dean Yendall partnered the Matthew Williams-trained Literary Magnate ($15) to a handy victory in the Northwood Plume Stakes. Despite arguably racing short of her best distance first-up, Yendall had the mare in a perfect position throughout. When he asked the mare to quicken, she did so nicely and managed to get the better of Written Beauty ($16) by a long neck, and Decent Raine ($20) a further nose behind in third. 2021: Bargain buy gets the job done Purchased for just $16,000, the Mathew Ellerton & Simon Zahra-trained Dirty Thoughts ($9) claimed the biggest win of her career when saluting in the Northwood Plume Stakes. Daniel Moor had the mare positioned at the rear of the field throughout the race, but when asked for the ultimate effort, Dirty Thoughts produced a stunning finish to reel in race leader La Mexicano ($4.40) and Nudge ($12) in the shadows of the winning post. 2020: Fiesta overpowers rivals Having not won in over 18 months, Hugh Bowman led the Chris Waller-trained Fiesta ($10) to a breathtaking victory in the Northwood Plume. Bowman positioned the mare near midfield throughout, skilfully keeping her wide yet ensuring she traveled comfortably with cover. Fiesta navigated the challenging Caulfield corner effortlessly and, upon entering the straight, she gathered herself before accelerating decisively to the finish line.

As first reported by Horse Racing Nation, 80-1 GI Kentucky Derby shocker Rich Strike (Keen Ice) has suffered another setback due to an injury sustained during a training session in New York. According to an interview with the publication, Rich Strike had been in training with Bill Mott up at Saratoga when a ligament tear was discovered in his left front leg, albeit in a different location from the previous suspensory ligament injury, and he was sent back to Margaux Farm in Midway, KY. “I'll know exactly what I'm going to do in 60 days,” owner Rick Dawson told HRN. “I would say we're 99 percent–at this point–probably moving to retirement and trying to work out some kind of stallion deal for him.” Rich Strike returned to the work tab July 9 after a hiatus which lasted well over a year and had managed to put in another three workouts, the last being Aug. 7 over the Oklahoma training track, but with this latest setback, Dawson admits he's ready to call it a career for the stallion. He told HRN that he's leaning harder toward retirement and selling the entire this fall to start a breeding career next spring. “I have no interest in some long-term, drawn-out rehab,” Dawson commented to HRN. “I haven't talked to Dr. [Larry] Bramlage about what his expectations are, if everything goes perfect.” “When I started this a year and a half ago, I was pretty much convinced we had a 20 to 25 percent chance.” The post Rich Strike Re-Injured, Retirement Likely appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Fangirl will return in Saturday’s Group 1 Winx Stakes. (Photo by George Sal/Racing Photos) Chris Waller is poised to tackle the first Group 1 race of the Sydney season with up to six of his top stars in Saturday’s Group 1 Winx Stakes (1400m) at Randwick. Five of them—Fangirl, Via Sistina, Riff Rocket, Zougotcha, and Atishu—had exhibition gallops at Rosehill on Saturday, with Buckaroo also set to join them. Waller, who has won the race named after his champion mare seven times, including with Fangirl last year, is confident in his squad’s chances, though he notes the outcome will depend on the race dynamics. “All of them have come up well,” Waller said. “They’re all individuals, yet they’ve all done similar work and had similar preparations, and everything has been straightforward until now. “They will all run well, but it will come down to luck in running, the way the race is run, the tempo of the race, and how much pressure is on up front.” Horse racing news View the full article

Carlyon Stakes contender Bold Bastille. (Photo by Scott Barbour/Racing Photos) Bold Bastille is set to capitalise on a change in the conditions of Saturday’s Listed Carlyon Stakes (1000m) at Moonee Valley as she begins her spring campaign. Traditionally restricted to four-year-olds and older, this year’s Listed race is now open to three-year-olds, giving Bold Bastille the opportunity to compete while carrying just 50.5 kilograms in the sprint. Co-trainer Ben Hayes is optimistic that this race could serve as a valuable prep for the Group 1 Moir Stakes (1000m) on September 7, also held at The Valley. “She gets a nice, light weight. She’s a winner at the track. We can see how she goes against the older horses and then decide whether she runs in the Group 1,” Hayes, who trains alongside his brothers Will and JD, told Racing.com. Bold Bastille impressed in an 800-metre jump-out at Flemington on August 9, and Hayes expressed his satisfaction with her performance. Horse racing news View the full article

The Ciaron Maher trained Another Wil. (Photo by George Sal/Racing Photos) Ciaron Maher-trained Another Wil (Street Boss) is set to bypass the Group 1 Memsie Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on August 31. Instead, connections have opted to start the Group 3 winner in a Benchmark 100 (1400m) race on the same day. Assistant trainer Jack Turnbull shared with Racing.com that while Another Wil might be aimed at a Group 1 race later, his initial target will be at a more manageable level. “He’s going to go to a 1400 (metre) at the end of the month to kick off, and then it’s performance-based from there,” Turnbull explained. The horse has made impressive strides, jumping from a rating of 64 in January to 102 in April. “The idea would be that we are running well there rather than going to a race like a Memsie. “If he was to win that (BM100), you’d look at say a Makybe (Diva Stakes) second-up over a mile. He’s obviously a very talented horse. “He’s still got a little bit to go mentally. He’s pretty hot and jazzy at times, so physically he’s there, but mentally he’s still got a touch to go.” Horse racing news View the full article

At sunny Del Mar, it was first-time starter Tenma (Nyquist–Amagansett, by Tapit) who battled a rival filly down the lane to graduate. The OBS April grad who was featured in TDN's Summer Breezes and Sunday Insights, went off as a 6-1 shot here. Even though stablemate Usha (Tiz the Law) came busting out of the gate, Tenma did not panic as she steadily began to reel in the pacesetter around the far turn. With a full head of steam, the juvenile won by a head in what was a pitched battle with Mancuso (McKinzie). The final running time was 1:04.22. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Soon after the running of the Curlin Stakes at Saratoga Race Course on July 19, Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey had seen enough. Corporate Power (Curlin), who finished second that day, earned his trip to the big leagues. He will be in the starting gate when the $1.25 million, Grade I Travers Stakes is run for the 155th time. McGaughey knows a thing or two about getting a horse ready for the Midsummer Derby. He has won the race four times, the most recent being with Code of Honor in 2019. One other trainer–Elliott Burch–has also won the Travers four times. The all-time record for Travers wins is owned by Bert Mulholland, who had five spanning from 1939-1963. McGaughey, sitting in his office at his barn at the Oklahoma Training Track on an overcast Sunday morning, wasn't going to say the past success necessarily helps as he gets Corporate Power ready for his Travers date. “I've been lucky in it,” McGaughey said. “I don't have confidence going into knowing he is either going to run good or he can't run good.” Corporate Power has two wins and two seconds in five career starts, all of them coming during his 3-year-old season. He was bought by Donald Adam's Courtlandt Farms at the 2022 Keeneland September Sale for $925,000. Unraced as a 2-year-old, Corporate Power was favored in three of his first four starts, including his maiden breaker at Gulfstream Park on Feb. 24. He won the Sir Barton Stakes at Pimlico Race Course on May 24. Then came the Curlin where he chased the Chad Brown-trained Unmatched Wisdom (Cairo Prince) the entire 1 1/8 miles before losing by a length. “I was very pleased with his race in the Curlin even though he didn't win,” McGaughey said. “Chad's horse was on the lead pretty easy all the way and we had to do the work. I think the light went on a lot after the Curlin.” Corporate Power had his final tune-up for the Travers on Friday, working a bullet four furlongs in 47.45 (1/45). In the Midsummer Derby, Corporate Power will be facing the toughest competition of his young career. McGaughey says he is up for it but knows the horse will really have to bring it. “If we get a pace and he is good enough, I think he'll have a chance,” he said, “It's a pretty darned good bunch. Do they all want to run that far? I'm not sure. Going 1 ¼ miles, especially off that work, he should be in pretty good shape.” Whitney Winner Arthur's Ride Gets Back To Work Break time is over for Arthur's Ride (Tapit). The striking grey/roan 4-year-old, was back on the Saratoga work tab Friday. He went four furlongs in 49.66 (35/70) on the Oklahoma Training Track for Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott. Arthur's Ride (outside) | Sarah Andrew Arthur's Ride claimed the GI Whitney Stakes on Aug. 3 by 2 1/4 lengths in gate-to-wire fashion. The breakout win came in his seventh career start. It was the first stakes race of any kind for the colt, who is owned by Glassman Racing. It wasn't like this came off as a surprise. Even though National Treasure (Quality Road) was in the field and the 4-5 favorite (he finished sixth), Arthur's Pride was the third choice in the wagering and paid $15.80. “We knew he could run,” jockey Junior Alvarado said at the Oklahoma Training Track. “I would not think Mr. Mott would put a horse in like that to get embarrassed. He knew he could compete in there. He is in the Hall of Fame for something!” Mott said the original plan was to have Arthur's Ride ready for the GI Jockey Club Gold Cup Stakes on the final weekend of the Saratoga meet. But, he did not want to wait until the end of the season to run him; before the Whitney, Arthur's Ride had been impressive in winning an allowance at Saratoga on June 7 during the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival at Saratoga. By winning the Whitney, Arthur's Ride earned a trip to the GI Breeders' Cup Classic at Del Mar on Nov. 2. The Witney was part of the Breeders' Cup “Win and You're In” program. “If he is doing well, we would probably run him back (in the Jockey Club Gold Cup),” Mott said. “We'll probably want to run one more before the Breeders' Cup.” Pletcher Sorry to See Kingsbarns Go, But Happy For His New Career As A Stallion Just when it looked like Kingsbarns (Uncle Mo) had become a major player in the older horse division, he was gone. The 4-year-old colt had his racing career terminated last week when it was announced he had been retired after sustaining an injury during training at Saratoga. He is now at Spendthrift Farm in Kentucky where he will start his stud career next year. “We are excited for the horse because he has the opportunity to go to Spendthrift,” Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher said at his barn on the Oklahoma Training Track. “But it is a little frustrating because I think he was just getting to his best now.” Kingsbarns had won three of four starts this season, the last being the GI Stephen Foster Stakes at Churchill Downs on June 29. That had earned him a spot in the GI Breeders' Cup Classic as the race was part of the “Win and You're In” program. Kingsbarns will now end his racing career with six wins in nine career starts. He was three for four this year. “It was just one of those things,” Pletcher said. “It was not a significant injury, but timing wise, we would be giving him 60 days off and then the season is over. It seemed like he was getting better and better. The Stephen Foster was his best race yet.” Pletcher said Kingsbarns “probably” was not going to run next year. Kingsbarns was part of the roster of older male horses in the Pletcher barn that also includes Tapit Trice (Tapit), Bright Future (Curlin) and Crupi (Curlin). Pletcher was not about to respond to a question that asked him to rank his older horses. “I don't rank them,” he said, then smiled, “at least not publicly. That could get me in trouble.” The post Saratoga Notebook, Presented by NYRA Bets: Corporate Power Improving, but is it Enough to Make Him a Travers Player? appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

By Brian Sheerin and Adam Houghton DEAUVILLE, France – Talk about a fitting finale. After what could only be described as a patchy opening two days to the August Yearling Sale, a St Mark's Basilica (Fr) filly (lot 270) out of Ecurie des Monceaux's blue hen Prudenzia (Ire) (Dansili {GB}) topped Sunday's concluding session at €1.7 million when sold to Coolmore's MV Magnier. Prudenzia is the gift that keeps giving for Henri Bozo's powerful breeding operation in France. Who could forget her daughter Magic Wand (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), who became a brilliant globetrotting filly for the Coolmore partners and Aidan O'Brien after topping this sale at €1.4 million in 2016? Philomene (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) also commanded top-lot status here in 2019 when selling to Godolphin for €1.625 million and she confirmed herself a classy prospect on the racetrack, too, when landing a Group 3 and chasing home Joan Of Arc (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in the 2021 Prix de Diane. Prudenzia is also the dam of Chicquita (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}), herself a winner of the Irish Oaks, and already a fine producer in her own right with three black-type horses–including the classy Emily Dickinson (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire})–flying the flag for the family with distinction. The chance to buy into families like Prudenzia's does not come around too often but, just as Bozo was thankful to see Coolmore show their respect for such an opportunity in the sales ring, Magnier paid special thanks to Monceaux for supporting the five-time Group 1-winning and dual Classic hero with such a high-quality mating. Magnier said, “In fairness to everyone at Monceaux, they took a big risk in sending a mare like her to a first-season sire. We're just very happy for them. St Mark's Basilica was an incredible racehorse – very tough.” Along with posting the top lot of the entire sale, St Mark's Basilica enjoyed a productive weekend in France with eight lots selling at an average of €446,250 and an aggregate of €3.57 million. Not bad for what was a €65,000 covering fee when he first joined the stallion ranks at Coolmore in 2022. Magnier added, “St Mark's Basilica has had an incredible sale these past few days. Listen, a horse who was as tough and as talented as he was – the champion two-year-old and champion-three-year-old – you have to get behind him. We're grateful to Monceaux for supporting him with such a high-class mare and thankfully he came up with a very nice filly. Obviously Prudenzia was bred in partnership with Lady O'Reilly. She was a superb breeder and will be sorely missed by the industry.” Of the 292 lots offered, 226 were sold at a clearance rate of 77%, representing a 6% drop on last year. The average fell 7% to €217,058 while, perhaps most tellingly, the median dropped by €30,000 to €140,000. The aggregate topped out at €50,237,000, down 11% on last year's figure. Can Lightning Strike Twice For Al Shira'aa With €1m Night Of Thunder? Al Shira'aa Racing returned to a familiar source with their €1-million purchase of Lot 249, a Night Of Thunder (Ire) filly from the Ecurie des Monceaux draft. It was at this sale two years ago that the powerful owner-breeder operation went to €320,000 to secure another Night Of Thunder filly consigned by Monceaux. That turned out to be Vespertilio (Fr), the G2 Debutante Stakes winner and G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches third who belongs to the same family as not one but two of Sunday's top lots. Not only does Vespertilio share her second dam, Platonic (GB) (Zafonic), with the €1.7-million filly by St Mark's Basilica (Fr), but Platonic also happens to be the third dam of Lot 249, one of five yearlings by Night Of Thunder to sell this week for a total of €3,060,000 and at an average of €612,000. Noting the similarities with Willie McCreery's stable star, Al Shira'aa's Kieran Lalor said, “We bought Vespertilio from Henri [Bozo] and this filly has a very similar profile. Physically, she has a bit more substance. It's a beautiful family and we loved seeing our filly [Vespertilio] down near the bottom [of the page]. Hopefully, this one works out the same for us.” He added, “Henri's farm is one of the best breeders and raisers of racehorses, so when we come here we always hope to come out of the sale with one of his stock. We're delighted to have her. The boss loved her and was very brave in fairness to go to a million, but she's a fabulous filly. We'd love it to be the same result as Vespertilio – one level up from Group 2, hopefully.” The latest filly destined to carry the familiar black and red silks of Al Shira'aa is the second foal out of the Muhaarar (GB) mare Paix (Ire), who gained the biggest success of her career when winning the G3 Prix de Lutece in 2020, following in the footsteps of her own dam, Pacifique (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}), who won the same race nine years earlier. Look De Vega Team To Train €1m Filly By The Arc Favourite's Sire Ballylinch Stud set the tempo for what proved to be the strongest of the three days. The sales ground had been abuzz about Lot 240, a filly by resident stallion Lope De Vega (Ire) and out of the stud's Group 3 winner Normandel (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}). She didn't disappoint. Lighting up the early part of the Sunday session when becoming the first of the three yearlings to break the seven-figure marker, the Lope De Vega filly was knocked down to Oliver St Lawrence on behalf of Victorious Racing for €1 million. The agent said, “She wasn't an easy one to get. We loved the filly and Carlos and Yann Lerner will get her to train. They obviously know all about Lope De Vega this year! ” Fawzi Nass and I had discussed these sorts of figures and it was definitely the top end [of the budget] but she is just a lovely filly – a gorgeous-walking filly. Hopefully she can come back for the Prix de Diane or something. We hope.” Victorious Racing has already built up a good reputation with the Lerner stable and, as St Lawrence rightly suggested, the team clearly knows a thing or two about the sire given the yard's exploits this season with the French Derby winner and Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe favourite Look De Vega (Fr) (Lope De Vega {Ire}). “Sheikh Nasser has Calif (Ger) (Areion {Ger}), who we bought at the Arc Sale here last year, in training with Carlos and Yann and he won a Group 1 in Germany the other day,” St Lawrence said. Reflecting on the market, he added, “I think the nice horses have been very hard to buy. I was really hoping that I wouldn't have to give a million for her. I was reluctant to but Yann was digging me. She is lovely and came from a good nursery.” Talking points Normal service resumed on Sunday with Monceaux-drafted yearlings responsible for three of the top five yearlings sold. All told, Monceaux sold 31 yearlings for a whopping €12.88 million and an average of €415,484. Al Shaqab was notably strong over the past three days and spent €3.135 million on 10 yearlings. The leading owner-breeder operation ended the sale as the leading buyer. The Americans were similarly important to the trade. Not least John Stewart of Resolute Racing, who signed for Friday's top lot by Wootton Bassett (GB) at €1.4 million. Resolute ended the weekend as the third-strongest buyer in the ring in terms of aggregate spent after snapping up three well-bred yearlings for €2.17 million collectively. Of the leading sires, Wootton Bassett and Siyouni (Fr) were similarly well-represented with 21 and 19 yearlings sold respectively. It was Wootton Bassett who came out best at an average of €314,048 and an aggregate of €6.595 million while Siyouni's 19 yearlings fetched €5.177 million at an average of €272,474. There were four millionaire lots at Arqana over the past few days. The exact same number was posted at this sale last year and in 2022 as well. Flay Active at Arqana from the US American chef Bobby Flay has been active at the Arqana August sale this week, shopping from home online in the US after a busy summer of traveling. Flay has purchased three lots for a total of €635,000, striking for the most expense of the three, a €250,000 filly (Lot 263) by Siyouni from the Ecurie des Monceaux consignment on the final day of the sale. “Most of my focus is the European market, racing in France, England, and Ireland,” said Flay. “I have a bunch of mares over there as well.” Flay, who is well-known for his astute collection of top families, purchased mares at last year's December Mares Sale and also at Arqana in December. He also recently picked up a share in Zarak (Fr) at the July Arqana online pop-up sale for €710,000. “My focus is on sales like this Arqana sale,” said Flay. “I just love the Arqana sale. I feel like there are really good families, really great physicals, and some really good value.” Mangan Strikes For €650k Siyouni Filly Jane Mangan has been a familiar face at Arqana all week and the former amateur jockey and broadcaster got in on the action during the final session when signing for lot 285 on behalf of the Thoroughbred Racing Corporation Limited. Perhaps best known for racing top-class talents such as Derby hero Oath (Ire) and the GI Kentucky Derby and GI Preakness Stakes winner War Emblem around the turn of the century, the Thoroughbred Corporation has returned to the fold in recent years with a handful of horses in training with John and Thady Gosden, including the G2 Park Hill Fillies' Stakes third Lmay (Ire) (Frankel {GB}). The question now is whether the team's historic green and white silks can get back to where they once were as a regular sight at the top level, but it certainly won't be for the want of trying if the €650,000 purchase of this Siyouni (Fr) filly is anything to go by. Consigned by Ecurie des Monceaux, she is the second foal out of a Lope De Vega (Ire) half-sister to the G1 Prix Vermeille heroine Left Hand (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) and Saturday's G2 Prix de Pomone victrix Aventure (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), both bred and raced by Wertheimer and Frere. “It's an incredible family,” Mangan summed up. “The Wertheimers do a wonderful job with their breeding and she's come from Ecurie des Monceaux, an incredible house. “Prince Faisal bin Ahmad [of the Thoroughbred Corporation] was here during the week. He saw her and liked her. We've been trying to buy well-bred fillies here for the last three days, but it's been very tough for the right horses. We feel very lucky to get her.” Mangan added, “She'll go back to the UK, we'll get her broken and then we'll give her a break. It's August, so it's nice and early, and she's a February foal. We'll be in no rush–she's got a Classic pedigree and there's plenty of time for that.” Mandore Making Hay on Back of Good Season Nicolas de Watrigant of Mandore International has been one of the busiest agents at Arqana over the last few days, signing for yearlings for Al Shaqab Racing, Gerard Augustin-Normand and Jean-Claude Seroul. “We've got the best two-year-old in France right now, Houquetot (Fr), so we try again this year. It has always been a good sale for us. We bought Place Du Carrousel (Ire), Zarakem (Fr), Unquestionable (Fr), Little Big Bear (Ire), and Qemah (Ire) from this sale – all Group 1 winners,” he said. Among the yearlings signed for by de Watrigant were three by the sale's leading first-season sire St Mark's Basilica (Fr), including the half-sister to Group 1 winner Feed The Flame (GB) (Kingman {GB}) for €550,000. “I have been very impressed by what I've seen by the sire,” he said. “We'll see from the sales coming but his stock here had a lot of quality. They looked mature with good balance and they were strong animals who looked to have a good attitude. They looked like racehorses, and that's what the buyers are looking for. They had a lot of Siyouni about them and of course they were both really good two-year-olds, so it looks like his stock could have some precocity as well.” The agent also manages the interests of Alain Jathiere, the part-owner of Birthe (Fr) (Study Of Man {Ire}) who ran second in Sunday's G2 Prix Alec Head, and owner of the G1 Prix Jean Prat winner Puchkine (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}). “Birthe is with a very talented young trainer, Laura Vanska, who will decide whether she goes next for the Prix Vermeille or the Prix de l'Opera,” he said. “She has done an absolutely great job with her. “M. Jathiere will remain involved with Puchkine when he stands at Haras de Beaumont next year, and M. Augustin-Normand will also be involved along with the Chehboub family, so Puchkine will have a great chance and, as a son of Starspangledbanner, will be a great addition to the French stallion ranks next year.” Kingman Filly Bound for Japan after Making €520k for “Thrilled” Applewood Family The husband-and-wife team of Philippe Brosset and Ciara O'Connor offered two yearlings in just their second year of consigning at the Arqana August Sale and it was all smiles for the pair after Lot 301, a Kingman (GB) filly out of a half-sister to the G1 Preis der Diana heroine Serienholde (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), sold to Japanese jockey-turned-trainer Hiroyasu Tanaka for €520,000. Operating under the banner of their family-run Applewood Stud, Brosset and O'Connor offered the filly on behalf of Gestut Wittekindshof and were understandably delighted with a sale which they hope will serve as an advertisement for their budding farm. “We're just thrilled with the result and so excited,” said Brosset. “We'd had a few hiccups and little things which make you wonder if you're going to make it. But we expected her to make good money because she was a nice filly and she showed very well.” He added, “It's great for us, our small place and the family. It's a team effort and this is a great advertisement. My main goal is to raise Group 1 winners and to sell a good horse for a client is brillian – it shows that we can do the job.” As well as being a German Classic winner, Serienholde has already proved herself as a top-class producer as the dam of Schnell Meister (Ger), the winner of the G1 NHK Mile Cup in Japan and by the same sire as this filly–something that clearly hadn't gone unnoticed by Tanaka. “I'm planning to ship this filly back to Japan,” he said. “Her pedigree has a special relationship with Japanese racing and I'm expecting a lot. She's by Kingman who is siring lots of winners in Japan, including a two-year-old I train who is doing very, very well. The Kingmans have very good speed which is essential to racing in Japan.” The post Fitting Finale at Arqana as Coolmore go to €1.7 Million for St Mark’s Basilica Filly appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Despite being taken off the grass at Saratoga on Sunday, the Bolton Landing Stakes yielded a promising winner as Kimchi Cat (Twirling Candy–Winter Dawn, by Sky Mesa) powered down the lane to get the hardware and collect her first black-type. The juvenile filly, entered for the main track only, was a 3-1 shot here. Chasing the pace up the backstretch, the Tom Amoss trainee got into gear around the far turn and she rolled home a winner by three lengths. The final running time was 1:04.06. Longshot Icona Mama (Maximus Mischief) was second. Lifetime Record: 3-2-1-0. Sales History: $185,000 '23 KEESEP.
