Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 25, 2018 Journalists Share Posted October 25, 2018 4th-Deauville, €27,000, Mdn, 10-25, unraced 2yo, f, 8fT, 1:43.82, gd.TUNED (GB) (f, 2, Toronado {Ire}–Zagora {Fr} {Ch. Grass Mare, MGISW-US & MGSW-Fr, $2,368,589}, by Green Tune) skipped a proposed Aug. 21 engagement over this strip, which featured the ‘TDN Rising Star’ performance of stablemate Commes (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}), but dwelt at the break before recovering to sweep by a swathe of rivals and track the pace in fourth along the rail. Quickening when prompted with 300 metres remaining, the 31-5 chance was brave under a late drive and forced her way through an ever-narrowing gap along the fence to oust stablemate Sadiqa (Fr) (Poets’ Voice {GB}), herself an Aga Khan homebred half-sister to G1 Prix Saint-Alary heroine Sagawara (GB) (Shamardal), by a short head on the line. She becomes the 18th winner for her freshman sire (by High Chaparral {Ire}) and the second scorer from three runners produced by GI Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf and GI Diana S.-winning US champion Zagora (Fr) (Green Tune), herself a half-sister to stakes-winning G2 UAE Derby runner-up Asmar (Ire) (Cape Cross {Ire}) and Listed Prix Delahante third Zanet (Fr) (Enrique {GB}). Her stakes-placed third dam Party Zane (GB) (Zafonic) is a half-sister to MGSW sire Titus Livius (Fr) (Machiavellian) and the homebred chestnut is kin to a yearling colt by Dubawi (Ire). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, €13,500. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton. 1ST-TIME STARTER. O/B-Al Shaqab Racing (GB); T-Jean Claude Rouget.
