New to the 2025 Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup, Team Asia edged out Team Europe by one point at Ascot on Saturday. The point totals stood at 68 (Asia), 67 (Europe), Great Britain & Ireland accrued 62 and the Rest of the World was fourth at 55 points. Team Asia posted victories with Suraj Narredu guiding Fireblade (Frankel) in the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Stayers, and Ryusei Sakai was aboard Prince Of India (Wootton Bassett) in the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Sprint. Mirai Iwata was also part of Team Asia. Narredu, captain of Team Asia, said, “I am absolutely delighted. After my winner, to win the Shergar Cup on my debut is the icing on the cake. The Asian team deserves to get recognition and I am proud to captain the team. It was fabulous for us to get two winners and some place points from the six races. We all enjoyed ourselves and it is a big deal to have come. It will be big back home in India. “I am staying in Britain for three more weeks to ride out for a few trainers, primarily Marco Botti, before I head home. It is a very short time, but I hope I can pick up a few rides.” The Alistair Haggis Silver Saddle went to Team Rest of the World's team captain Hugh Bowman, who earned 32 points. Bowman rode Vintage Clarets (Ardad) to win the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup. Europe's Per-Anders Graberg was second on 26 points, with Asia's Ryusei Sakai and Robbie Dolan both picking up 25 points. Bowman, who was winning the award for the second time since his Shergar Cup debut in 2007, said, “I am delighted. It is great to be here, the Shergar Cup is a unique event. Riding on this track is something that all jockeys around the world aspire to do. I have had the privilege of doing it previously and to come back and win a race – I thought I might have been in with a squeak of winning a couple, but nevertheless we have come out with a major prize. “It has been a lovely afternoon and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. My family is here and they have enjoyed it, too. All the teams won a race and I think everyone has had as much fun as I have – the spoils were shared, which is good. Many congratulations to team Asia, they were racking up points in every race, so credit where it is due.” The post Team Asia Clinches Shergar Cup appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

MGISW Journalism (Curlin) put in his first work since arriving back from the Jersey Shore following his victory in the G1 Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park last month. The GI Preakness Stakes winner, who was the runner-up in the GI Kentucky Derby and GI Belmont Stakes, returned to trainer Michael McCarthy's barn on the Del Mar backside a few days after the Haskell. On Saturday, it was back to work for Journalism who went four furlongs in :48.40 with rider Tony Gutierrez in the saddle. McCarthy clocked his colt with a final quarter in 24 flat and from the wire to the seven-eighths pole in :12.20. “A very good breeze for his first work back,” McCarthy notes. “That's just what you're looking for.” The colt continues to bounce back despite logging miles from his California base. “It seems like that,” his conditioner said. “He's had three weeks since he's run so he's had plenty of time to get over his trip. We'll see what he does next week.” Primary owner Aron Wellman of Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners was standing alongside McCarthy in the Del Mar grandstand and was equally impressed. “Very smooth, very within himself,” said Wellman. “Looks like he was moving very well. Probably looking to do a little bit more, but perfect just to get him back in the game. “We gave him an extra few days (more) than usual to get back on the worktab,” he said. “He seems to have appreciated that. Can't speak enough about his constitution both physically and mentally.” Neither McCarthy nor Wellman would say what race is next for Journalism. The two options this month are the G1 DraftKings Travers at Saratoga in two weeks or the G1 Pacific Classic Stakes at Del Mar Aug. 30. “This is just the initial step for him,” Wellman said. “Good to see him stretch his legs again. I think he showed us everything we wanted to see today and we'll get a better gauge next week. Just turn up the dials a little bit more.” The Journalism got back on the tab for @mwmracing this am @DelMarRacing stretching his legs in a smooth & powerful solo 1/2-mile in 48 2/5. As the great Trevor Denman would say, “He's absolute poetry in motion.” #BelieveBig pic.twitter.com/RxBSJJCm5x — Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners (@EclipseTBP) August 9, 2025 The post MGISW Journalism Works At Del Mar, Next Race TBD appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Bregman Family Racing and Swinbank Stable LLC's Governor Sam (Improbable) is perfect in two previous efforts over Saratoga's Mellon turf course and he'll look to keep that record intact as a warm favorite in Sunday's newly upgraded GIII Mahony Stakes. A maiden winner when making his local debut just over a year ago, the bay rattled off three in a row in stakes company and made the majority of the pace in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint before clinging on gamely for third. Governor Sam dropped his first two tries this season at Churchill when ridden on the speed, but he was asked to sit off the pace in the GIII Quick Call Stakes here July 13 and did so kindly before stretching clear to best Ortley Avenue (Ire) (Bungle Inthejungle {Ire}), with No Evidence (Vekoma) a further half-length back in third. “He's doing fantastic,” said trainer George Weaver. “We'll let [jockey] Irad [Ortiz, Jr.] ride the horse how he wants. Hopefully, if he duplicates that performance, he'll do good in there. His breezes have been good and he continues to maintain good form. He's doing good and we are expecting him to run well.” Gabaldon (Gone Astray) defeated the favorite in last year's Royal Palm Juvenile Turf and went on to be a cracking second in the Listed Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot. Away for nine months thereafter, the gray resumed with a third in Gulfstream's Texas Glitter Stakes Mar. 22 and returns here as a first-time gelding. Spiced Up (Quality Road) is an interesting fresh face, having posted a visually impressive victory in a grassy six-furlong Aqueduct maiden June 20. Sunday's other graded stakes takes place at Del Mar, as juvenile fillies have center stage in the GIII Sorrento Stakes. A field of six is signed on headed by $900,000 OBS April grad Himika (Curlin), who is the 6-5 morning-line selection on the strength of a six-length romp at Santa Anita on June 12, an effort that earned her a no-brainer 'TDN Rising Star'. The Klaravich Stable-bred bay has the rail, but had no issue overcoming the same draw in the debut. Dreaming of Alys (Upstart) drilled Laurel maidens by 4 3/4 lengths on June 13 for Gary Capuano and has since been acquired privately and turned over to trainer Phil D'Amato. The dark bay has recorded a pair of works locally, including a five-furlong move from the gate that was timed in :59 2/5 (6/65) on Aug. 3. That was two ticks off that morning's bullet achieved by Himika.

Golden Tornado (c, 2, McKinzie–Ruby Trust, by Smart Strike), a half-brother to three-for-three Maxfield S. winner and 'TDN Rising Star' Verifire (Authentic), earned a 'Rising Star' badge of his own with a good-looking debut victory for trainer Danny Gargan at the Spa Saturday. The $475,000 KEESEP yearling graduate secured a perfect spot in a tracking second behind favored Oscar's Hope (Twirling Candy) through an opening quarter in :22.76. He turned up the heat approaching the quarter pole and leveled off beautifully in the stretch to win going away with powerful strides by 3 1/4 lengths at odds of 7-2. Oscar's Hope held second. Golden Tornado, owned in partnership by Reeves Thoroughbred Racing, Gainesway Stable and Legendary Thoroughbreds, becomes the second 'Rising Star' for sophomore sire McKinzie. The stakes-placed Ruby Trust brought $180,000 from Golden Tornado's co-owner and breeder Gainesway at the 2020 KEENOV sale. Ruby Trust produced a filly by Olympiad in 2024 ($130,000 KEENOV weanling purchase by McMahon & Hill Bloodstock, agent) and was barren for 2025. She was bred to McKinzie for a 2026 foal. The aforementioned Verifire, a $260,000 KEESEP yearling turned $1-million OBSMAR breezer, is being aimed at the GI H. Allen Jerkens Memorial at Saratoga Aug. 23. He is owned by Resolute Racing and trained by Brad Cox. 6th-Saratoga, $100,000, Msw, 8-9, 2yo, 6f, 1:10.87, ft, 3 1/4 lengths.

Sunday, Hoppegarten, Germany, post time: 15:40, WESTMINSTER 135TH GROSSER PREIS VON BERLIN-G1, €155,000, 3yo/up, 12fT Field: Cold Heart (Brz) (Alpha), Junko (GB) (Intello {Ger}), Narrativo (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}), Rebel's Romance (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), Straight (Ger) (Zarak {Fr}), Nastaria (GB) (Outstrip {GB}). TDN Verdict: Godolphin's globetrotting superstar Rebel's Romance has saluted seven times at the highest level and will bid for a repeat success having annexed the 2022 renewal of this contest. He will head postward at prohibitive odds and has little to fear coming back off a repeat third-place finish in Ascot's G1 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes. Junko's two Group 1 victories have come at this trip and his chances of victory will hinge on the Charlie Appleby contender falling below his usual high standard, while the largely uninspiring home defence is led by G2 Grosser Hansa-Preis runner-up Narrativo. [Sean Cronin]. Sunday, Deauville, France, post time: 16:05, ARC PRIX MAURICE DE GHEEST – FONDS EUROPEEN DE L'ELEVAGE-G1, €380,000, 3yo/up, 6 1/2fT Field: Inisherin (GB) (Shamardal), Beauvatier (Fr) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Sajir (Ire) (Make Believe {GB}), Regional (GB) (Territories {Ire}), Tribalist (GB) (Farhh {GB}), Topgear (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Lazzat (Fr) (Territories {Ire}), Shadow Of Light (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Symbol Of Honour (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), Woodshauna (Fr) (Wooded {Ire}), Rayevka (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}). TDN Verdict: Wathnan Racing's Lazzat took care of Inisherin and Topgear in Royal Ascot's G1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes and will be a warm order to defend his title in this straight dash. Resolute Bloodstock's Woodshauna is an obvious danger, having notched a career high in last month's G1 Prix Jean Prat, and is taken to confirm form with G1 2000 Guineas third Shadow Of Light who is a doubt if the ground is quick. Ed Bethell-trained G1 King Charles III Stakes third Regional has hit the board in all three starts this term and goes beyond six furlongs for the first time here. [Sean Cronin]. Sunday, Deauville, France, post time: 17:15, PRIX DAPHNIS – SAMUEL LIBERMAN (ARG)-G3, €73,200, 3yo, 8fT Field: Sahlan (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Selenien (Fr) (Mehmas {Ire}), Chibitty (Fr) (Zelzal {Fr}), Khafiz (Ire) (New Bay {GB}), Ciaran (Fr) (Van Beethoven), Al Aali (Fr) (City Light {Fr}), Heybetli (Ire) (Showcasing {GB}), Scoville (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}), Tiego The First (Fr) (Blue Point {Ire}), Madero (Fr) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Silius (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), Tito Mo Cen (Ire) (Uncle Mo). TDN Verdict: William Haggas representative Scoville is unbeaten in two career starts and encounters hotter opposition on black-type debut coming back off a 14-length rout over this distance at Newmarket last month. Silius snagged three of his first five starts this term, finishing second at this level in the other two, and will head postward coming back off an eighth when highly tried in last month's G1 Prix Jean Prat. Lucie Pontoir trainee Al Aali finished just over six lengths adrift of Camille Pissarro when 12th in June's G1 Prix du Jockey Club, having previously finished second in May's G3 Prix de Guiche, and holds each-way claims dropping down to one mile for the first time this year. [Sean Cronin]. Sunday, Deauville, France, post time: 13:56, PRIX MOONLIGHT CLOUD – URUGUAY BOOK 1 (URU)-Listed, €50,300, 3yo, 6fT Field: Burhan (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}), Misunderstoond (Fr) (Hello Youmzain {Fr}), Dos Mukasan (Fr) (Golden Horde {Ire}), Mise En Boite (Fr) (Zelzal {Fr}), Cacofonix (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Kerkila (Ire) (Too Darn Hot {GB}), Fraise Des Bois (Fr) (Zelzal {Fr}), Daylight (Fr) (Earthlight {Ire}), Secret Wood (Fr) (Birchwood {Ire}). TDN Verdict: Last term's dual Group 1-placed G3 Prix de Cabourg victrix Daylight gets some respite from elite-level action and has an opportunity, down significantly in grade, coming back off close-up unplaced efforts in this year's G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and G1 Prix Jean Prat. Al Shaqab's G3 Prix des Chenes winner and G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere third Misunderstood is another on a retrieval mission and returns off an unplaced effort in May's G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains. Dos Mukasan finished just under two lengths ahead of Misunderstood in that Longchamp Classic, but has been unplaced twice and gelded in the interim. Fraise Des Bois and Secret Wood boast pattern-race form, but need to step up to feature. [Sean Cronin]. Click here for the complete fields.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY – After a few days to recover from a blockbuster Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale, bidding returns to the Humphrey S. Finney Pavilion Sunday evening for the first of two sessions of the Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred Yearlings Sale. The auction is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m with 100 catalogued yearlings set to go through the ring, and it will continue Monday at noon with an additional 203 catalogued head on offer. Buyers–both pinhookers and end-users, with new shoppers joining those that were shut out during the record-setting select sale last week–hit the sales barns on a sunny morning in upstate New York Saturday. “Our shows seem to be way up from last year,” said Brian Graves of Gainesway, which sold three million-dollar yearlings at the select sale and returns with a six-horse consignment for the New York-bred sale. “We showed these horses 70 times on the first day. And we have been busy today as well. So I think there is a good solid group of people here to buy them.” Demand was strong at last year's New York-bred sale, with 182 yearlings selling for a gross of $19,095,500. The average of $104,920 was third-highest in sale history, while the median of $86,500 was an all-time high for the auction. “Last year was a great sale here,” said Ron Blake of Blake-Albina Thoroughbred Services, which had a seven-figure yearling at last week's select sale and will offer nine New York-breds. “We had six last yera and we sold every horse for more than we thought we were going to get for them.” Blake continued, “We had a strong select sale. So I'm sure there have to be a few people who got shut out who wanted to buy. So you just hope that there is a trickle down effect.” With an advantageous tax code, added to the purse parity in New York which will have state-bred horses running at equal money with open company, people have plenty of incentives to buy racehorses, according to consignor Colin Brennan. “I think the tax breaks seem to be motivating some people, in addition to the new New York-bred incentives,” Brennan said. “Everything is coming together–the sum of all the parts, which would suggest a strong market for us.” Asked if he was seeing a turnover of buyers from the select sale to the New York-bred sale, Brennan said, “I think there are two separate buying benches and they are two different niches, in a sense. But then again, agents that have orders to fill for good horses, they are here as well. We have seen different people come and go between each sale, but either way, there has been a lot of good foot traffic and our group has been well received.” Allegra Lee will add another accomplishment to her resume when she offers her first consignment under the Ascend Thoroughbreds banner Monday in Saratoga. “I have wanted to start a consignment for about four years and this was just the right time to do it,” she explained. The consignment's lone offering is hip 444, a daughter of Munnings out of stakes-placed Amazing Shoes (Empire Maker). “I thought this filly would fit in this sale,” Lee said. “The family has been live.” Of the shoppers she has seen at the barns Sunday, Lee added, “I think the pinhookers got shut out in the first sale, so were the end-users, so [the shoppers] are a mix of both.” The post ‘Everything is Coming Together’: High Expectations as Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred Sale Opens Sunday appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Valerie Clement has arguably seen more horses in her lifetime than many of the younger bloodstock agents working this year's Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred Sale. For the past 40 years, she has stood alongside her husband Christophe as he has inspected horses at countless sales, farms and racetracks around the world. Following her husband's passing in May, it would have been understandable if Clement had chosen to step away from the game, but to her that was never an option. In addition to running a thriving stable, Christophe was also involved in several broodmare partnerships in both New York and France—a part of the business Clement is now determined to continue. “I am committed to carrying out what Christophe started,” she explained. “At times it is a lot, but I don't quit. I'm learning and I'm enjoying it. I want a fair chance to learn and I'm very blessed because I'm surrounded by people I trust and that I've known for a long time.” On Sunday, a colt that Clement co-owns with Richard Leahy's Oak Bluff Stables will sell as Hip 357 at the Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred Sale. The son of Not This Time is out of a mare that Christophe once trained. Savvy Sassy (Street Sense), a half-sister to MGSW Southdale (Street Cry {Ire}), was campaigned by Waterville Lake Stables. She won her first two starts under Clement's tutelage in 2014. The Ontario-bred was later trained by Arnold DeLacour and in 2016, went through the ring at the Keeneland November Sale and sold to the Oak Bluff-Clement partnership for $80,000. The mare has been a shining success story for her ownership group as her first four foals have all brought six figures at the Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred Sale. Bourbon Bay (Bayern) sold for $205,000 and went on to collect multiple stakes placings, including a runner-up effort in the 2020 Jerome Stakes. Brattle House (Malibu Moon) set a New York-Bred Sale record when she brought $775,000 in 2019 and the filly also earned blacktype credit on the racetrack. The mare's three-year-old of this year, Real Savvy (Authentic), was a $360,000 purchase for MyRacehorse and RT Racing. The colt broke his maiden for Christophe last November and is now training at Belmont. “Savvy Sassy is such a great story and it's a great partnership,” said Clement. “When it's a good partnership, you're friends as well. Dick and Christophe started the breeding partnership together. Dick is very analytic, so no decisions were taken without endless conversation. Christophe had the other side of the talent–his gut feeling as a horseman. So the partnership has been very successful and it's the story you hope for when you get Savvy Sassy. Being with people you trust is the key.” Clement credits their small breeding program's success to the relationships behind it. She has two mares in France at Ecurie des Monceaux with Henri Bozo, a former intern for Christophe. For the New York division, Leahy was a longtime owner for Christophe as a partner in Waterville Lake Stables. Savvy Sassy's yearling will sell at Fasig-Tipton with Denali Stud. Consignor Conrad Bandoroff said the colt has made steady progress since arriving at their farm in May. “He's one of those horses you get more and more excited about,” said Bandoroff. “We had one very respected agent who came out to the farm and asked why this horse wasn't in the main sale. There's a reason why Christophe is pictured on the inside cover of the New York-bred catalogue this year. Christophe was such a supporter of the New York-bred program and of this sale. If he was still around, this is where he would have put this horse. He was a believer in putting the best horses in this sale and letting them stand out and we believe that's what this horse is going to do.” Clement said that she has always enjoyed the breeding and sales side of the industry and is interested in staying involved going forward. “With the breeding, I enjoy how you see the full circle of the industry,” she explained. “You go to those farms to see the babies and you dream big. You think, 'Oh, I've spotted a champion.' When you approach it with the full story, you're not just looking at the finish line.” She knows she has a lot to learn, but in the months since her husband's passing, a voice in the back of her mind has been guiding her forward. “Back then, I had the answer,” she said. “I'm used to him constantly commenting about horses, whether we're at the races or at the sales. Now I have to say, 'What would he think of this horse? What would he see?' I'm trying to remember what he was teaching me.” The post “Carrying Out What Christophe Started,” Clement-Bred Colt Sells in Saratoga appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Space Blues had made a strong start to his stud career in 2025 and his son Power Blue took it to the next level on Saturday when causing a surprise in The Curragh's feature G1 Keeneland Phoenix Stakes. Handed an easier task by the withdrawal of Ballydoyle's Coventry winner Gstaad (Starspangledbanner), Amo Racing's Marble Hill runner-up was also able to benefit from the drop off of his comprehensive Railway conqueror True Love (No Nay Never) to land the spoils by 1 1/2 lengths at 10-1. “It's unbelievable–he has got bigger and stronger and has been improving all year,” commented trainer Adrian Murray, who had earlier saddled the owner's Bucanero Fuerte to win the Phoenix Sprint. “He never lets us down and a furlong out I was thinking the filly wasn't going to get to him as he was still in his comfort zone.” Oh. My.

Godolphin homebred Dance To The Music (Dubawi) notched a one-length debut triumph at Newmarket's Rowley Mile track in May and maintained her unbeaten record with a battling display in Saturday's G3 Newsells Park Stud Sweet Solera Stakes at the town's summer venue. Stalking the pace in second through halfway, the 11-4 chance was shaken up to launch her challenge passing the quarter-mile marker and kept on in resolute fashion once gaining an edge approaching the final furlong to defeat Princess Petrol (St Mark's Basilica) and Venetian Lace (Masar) by a neck and a half-length. strikes a winning chord in the @newsellspark Sweet Solera Stakes @NewmarketRace @loughnane_billy | @godolphin pic.twitter.com/L4pslwSQi5 — Racing TV (@RacingTV) August 9, 2025 Pedigree Notes Dance To The Music is the 11th of 12 foals and one of seven scorers out of G2 Challenge Stakes victrix Miss Lucifer (Noverre), herself the leading performer out of a half-sister to G2 King Edward VII Stakes-winning sire Amfortas (Caerleon). The April-foaled homebred chestnut is a full-sister to multiple Group 1-winning sire Space Blues and a yearling filly. She is also kin to multiple Group-winning distaffer Shuruq (Elusive Quality) and to the dam of G3 Chinese Club Challenge Cup winner Taj Dragon (Mehmas). Shuruq, in turn, is the dam of GIII The Very One Stakes victrix and GI Belmont Oaks Invitational runner-up Antoinette (Hard Spun) and the dual Graded-placed Javanica (Medaglia D'Oro).

Now that the summer is high, St Mark's Basilica's stud career is readying for take-off and Saturday saw Coolmore's freshman have his first TDN Rising Star in Ballydoyle's exciting Diamond Necklace. Partnered by Wayne Lordan in The Curragh's Grand Hotel Malahide Irish EBF Fillies Juvenile Race, the half-sister to Magic Wand (Galileo) and Chicquita (Montjeu) who was the €1.7million Arqana Deauville August topper swooped on Ryan Moore's pick Minerva (Frankel) inside the final furlong for a smooth 1 1/2-length success. “She'd been working lovely and is very exciting for next year,” Aidan O'Brien said. “St Mark looked for all the world a two-year-old, but he didn't win his maiden for another three weeks and we saw what he did as soon as he turned three. They are ahead of what he was doing and the Fillies' Mile could be for her this year–we have other fillies for the Debutante and Moyglare and those races beforehand, so we can give her the time and not rush her.” Lovely performance … St Mark's Basilica filly – a half-sister to Magic Wand – looks another juvenile jewel in the crown for @coolmorestud and @Ballydoyle judged by her striking success on debut @curraghrace pic.twitter.com/RU9pcgPODD — Racing TV (@RacingTV) August 9, 2025 The post Fillies Mile-Bound Diamond Necklace Is St Mark’s Basilica’s First TDN Rising Star appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

1st-Curragh, €20,000, Mdn, 8-9, 2yo, 7fT, 1:23.64, gd. GERYON (IRE) (c, 2, Lope De Vega {Ire}–Oboe, by Mizzen Mast), sent off at 18-1 for this hotly-contested maiden, travelled smoothly without cover just off the pace throughout the early stages. Joining Kensington Lane (Starspangledbanner) inside the last half a furlong, the newcomer asserted to score by 1 1/4 lengths. “We have two colts that we like, this fella and Res Ipsa who ran at Leopardstown on Thursday,” trainer Ger Lyons said. “Res Ipsa fluffed his lines so I suppose it took away confidence and hence his starting price, but they are two similar horses.” “You would like to think there would be plenty of improvement, as it was his first day away from Glenburnie and first day on turf. The best-looking horse I had by Lope de Vega was Endless Drama who was second in the Guineas and this is the second-best one I've had by him. He's a very good-looking colt.” Colin Keane added, “It was smooth the whole way and I'd say there is a good bit of improvement in him–he went to the line well and he'll go an extra furlong as well, no problem.” The dam, a 290,000gns purchase out of the Juddmonte draft at 2019 Tattersalls December, has a yearling full-brother to the winner due to sell at the upcoming Goffs Orby Book 1. The second dam is Seattle Slew's Alabama and Kentucky Oaks heroine Flute, whose daughter Filimbi by Oboe's sire Mizzen Mast was successful in the GII Goldikova Stakes before producing the GIII West Virginia Derby and GIII Indiana Derby winner and GI Pennsylvania Derby third Dragoon Guard (Arrogate). Also close up in the pedigree are the GIII Dixiana Bourbon Stakes scorer Current (Curlin), the Ashland heroine Weep No More (Mineshaft) and Scat Daddy's Qabala who took the Nell Gwyn and was third in the 1,000 Guineas. Descended from the Oaks runner-up Media Luna (Star Appeal) which also links her to Brian Boru (Sadler's Wells) and Sea Moon (Beat Hollow), Oboe's filly foal is by Showcasing.
