Waybreaker Makes Black Type Breakthrough in Saint Cloud’s Prix de Conde

[Wandering Eyes]

Hisaaki Saito's Waybreaker (Galiway), who backed up a debut win at Deauville in August with a fifth back there in the Listed Criterium du Fonds Europeen de l'Elevage later that month, made the leap forward and secured a first black-type triumph in Friday's G3 Prix de Conde Jockey Club de Turquie at Saint-Cloud, a contest won last year by G1 Derby runner-up and G1 Irish Derby third Lazy Griff (Protectionist).

Positioned behind the leaders in third through halfway, the 10-1 chance made relentless progress along the far-side rail in the straight to challenge approaching the final furlong and was driven out in the closing stages to deny the maidens Czajkowski (Flintshire) and Proof (Dubawi) by a half-length and 1 1/4 lengths for a career best.

Pedigree Notes
Waybreaker, who becomes the ninth pattern-race winner for his sire, is the third of four foals and one of two scorers produced by GIII Bewitch Stakes victrix Ickymasho (Multiplex), herself a half-sister to this term's G1 Queen Anne Stakes hero Docklands (Massaat) and multiple Group-placed Listed The Sofitel victor Harbour Views (Le Havre). The February-foaled bay, whose third dam is G3 Flying Five winner Bunty Boo (Noalto), is kin to a yearling colt by Australia.
