Freshman Sire Sands Of Mali Off The Mark At Bordeaux

[Wandering Eyes]

Ballyhane Stud resident Sands Of Mali (Fr) (Panis) became Europe's latest first-crop sire to get off the mark when his Florian Guyader-trained daughter Hide The Evidence (Ire) shed maiden status with a two-length debut win over five furlongs in Monday's Prix du Medoc at Bordeaux.

1st-Bordeaux-Le Bouscat, €23,000, Cond, 4-22, 2yo, 5fT, 1:01.80, g/s.
HIDE THE EVIDENCE (IRE) (f, 2, Sands Of Mali {Fr}–Silent Agenda {GB}, by Kyllachy {GB}) raced in third through the early fractions of this unveiling. Nudged along to turn for home in second, the 51-10 chance came under sterner urging in the straight and kept on strongly once sweeping by long-time leader Sunset Bikini (Fr) (Le Brivido {Fr}) inside the final furlong to defeat that rival by two lengths. Hide The Evidence, full-sister to a yearling colt, is the first of two foals out of a winning half-sister to Listed Two-Year-Old Trophy victrix and G3 Firth Of Clyde S. third Ventura Mist (GB) (Pastoral Pursuits {GB}). The March-foaled bay's stakes-placed third dam Jetbeeah (Ire) (Lomond), herself a daughter of G2 Gallinule S. winner Welsh Fantasy (Ire) (Welsh Pageant {Fr}), is the dam of G3 Prix de Royaumont victrix Lady's Purse (GB) (Doyen {Ire}) and the multiple stakes-placed Dazilyn Lady (Zilzal). Lady's Purse, in turn, is the dam of stakes-winning G2 Superlative S. runner-up Masekela (Ire) (El Kabeir) and G2 Cape Verdi second Asoof (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}). Sales history: €10,000 Ylg '23 TIRSEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, €11,500. Video, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
