GOSDEN A DAB HAND BILL OPPENHEIM: EUROPEAN SECOND- CROP SIRES WITH CLASSIC FILLIES Three European second-crop sires--Juddmonte=s Frankel (Galileo); Darley=s Sepoy (Elusive Quality); and Coolmore=s Excelebration (Exceed And Excel)--saw important black-type performances last weekend. Following Andrew Caulfield=s illuminating discussion of Sepoy and another Darley sire, Helmet (also by Exceed and Excel), let=s drill down a little bit and look at these sires in the context of the whole list of European second-crop sires. Any discussion of that list of course begins with Frankel, only the greatest racehorse of all time; we discussed this in our Apr. 5 column, in which we noted that Frankel had an Official Rating of 140, a highest RPR of 143, and his best Timeform rating was 147, the all-time best. Frankel now leads the European second-crop sire >money list= in cumulative worldwide earnings, and his numbers of black-type horses are quite impressive. cont. p4

The winners of the G3 Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn S. and G3 Dubai Duty Free Fred Darling S., Daban (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}) and Dabyah (Ire) (Sepoy {Aus}), provided a memorable week for their owner Abdullah Saeed Al Naboodah, whose only problem now is to decide, with Gosden, which filly should run in which Classic. In many ways, it's a decision which makes itself, as the more seasoned Dabyah has already had a trip across the Channel when she ran third in the G1 Prix Marcel Boussac, making the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches on May 14 her more obvious target. Meanwhile, Daban's Nell Gwyn strike showed that she has the poise to handle the Rowley Mile's famous 'dip', which has been the undoing of so many Classic hopefuls, and will stay at home for the G1 QIPCO 1000 Guineas on Sunday week. cont. p2 It’s time for second thoughts!

In just his third season with runners, the Dubaian businessman, who is chairman of the Al Naboodah Construction Group and one of a number of nominees under the Rabbah Bloodstock banner, has enjoyed a rash of group winners, with Daban, Dabyah and Nathra being joined by last year's crack juvenile Ardad (Ire) (Kodiac {Ire}), who struck at Royal Ascot before winning the G2 Flying Childers S. Ardad has remained in training at Clarehaven, where he has reportedly wintered well and will now be targeted at a major sprint campaign this season. Nathra was bought by John Warren as a yearling for 270,000gns, but the majority of Al Naboodah's horses have been selected by Richard Brown of Blandford Bloodstock, with both Ardad and Daban being graduates of last season's breeze-up sales.

In addition to his racehorses, Al Naboodah has a burgeoning breeding interest, with two of his broodmares in foal to Shamardal and one to War Front. Whatever happens in the forthcoming Classics, both Daban and Dabyah have already earned their places at stud in the future, as has Nathra, who may well aim to give her owner more success at Royal Ascot in the G2 Duke Of Cambridge S.

“Following a 50% rise in gross and 37% rise in average at the Goffs UK 2-year-old in training sale, Tattersalls’ Craven 2-year-old sale last week saw gains of 63% in gross and 30% in average, to 144,082 gns. For two sales in Britain to be up so much, it’s tempting to ascribe the gains, to a certain extent, to the 25% drop in the value of the British pound since the Brexit vote last June; however, one comment made to me about that is, quite rightly, that many of the buyers in these two sales are not subject to even such major fluctuations. For the European 2-year-old sales so far this season, the gross is up by 44% and the average up by 24%. Whatever the explanation, demand in these quarters is high.”

Jeffroy said the team would take some time to enjoy the victory before putting any future plans in SEDARY BRINGS BOUQUETOT FULL CIRCLE place. By Kelsey Riley AEverything is open for her,@ he noted. AShe showed improvement from her last start so we don=t know where she might stop.@ AShe might like a bit more distance,@ he added. AThe dam is a Sinndar half-sister to [G1 Champion S. winner] Literato, so that=s a mile-and-a-half, mile-and-a-quarter family, so she might like six or seven furlongs in the summer.@ The future is looking bright for Style Vendome as well. The former Al Shaqab silkbearer has had three starters, all of which have finished on the board. AHe had two runners in the same race in March, and since then one of them was second and the other third, and this one was third first time out and has now won, so they=re all placed,@ Jeffroy said, adding that Style Vendome right now has about 100 mares on his book. Sedary | Scoop Dyga ABeing in his fourth season that=s very good,@ he said. AThere=s been a lot of chat with the trainers and the pre-trainers.

AStyle Vendome and Planteur were the two very first stallions we stood,@ explained Benoit Jeffroy, assistant managing director at Bouquetot. AWe=ve been there for a long time now so it=s very good to see them running and winning.@ The win by Sedary was also a victory on a personal level for Jeffroy, who bred the horse in partnership with his Bouquetot colleague, Nominations and Marketing Manager Audrey Leyval, as well as Nicolas de Watrigant of Mandore International agency. The seed was planted for Sheikh Joaan=s Al Shaqab to buy the filly by its resident sire after Al Shaqab General Manager Khalifa Al Attiya inspected her last summer on Jeffroy=s brother=s farm in Brittany, where she was raised. AKhalifa spends two to three weeks in Bouquetot every summer, and last year we all went together to see the filly and he really liked her, so he decided to buy her for Al Shaqab,@ Jeffroy explained.
