FRIDAY, 6 AUGUST 2021 MOULIN LIKELY TARGET FOR BAAEED TARNAWA BACK WITH A Shadwell=s highly progressive 3-year-old Baaeed (GB) (Sea The BANG AT LEOPARDSTOWN Stars {Ire}) is likely to be seen next in the G1 Prix du Moulin at ParisLongchamp Sept. 5, trainer William Haggas told Nick Luck=s Daily Podcast. Baaeed is unbeaten in four tries, having built on victories at the maiden and novice level with a four-length win in the Listed Sir Henry Cecil S. at Newmarket on July 8, and with a 6 1/2-length score in the G3 Thoroughbred S. at Glorious Goodwood three weeks later. AWe were very pleased with him [at Goodwood] and he proved he=s worth a shot at a better race, I think,@ said Haggas. AThere=s the [G1] Jacques le Marois [Aug. 15], which I think is too quick, so it=s the Moulin Sept. 5 or the back-up is the [G2] Celebration Mile [at Goodwood Aug. 28], but I really want to go for a Group 1 race with him now. We have to go to France, and that=s complicated in its own way. If all goes well in Paris, then it=s the [G1] QEII or nothing--if it=s bottomless at Ascot he probably won=t go.@ Cont. p3 Tarnawa returns in style in the Ballyroan | racingfotos.com Leading up to Thursday=s G3 Grant Thornton Ballyroan S. at IN TDN AMERICA TODAY Leopardstown, Dermot Weld raised concerns that star distaffer PESSIN SAVORS AN HONORABLE SUCCESS Tarnawa (Ire) (Shamardal)) may not be as forward as in previous Chris McGrath checks in with Bell's the One's trainer Neil years, but His Highness The Aga Khan=s 5-year-old showed little Pessin.

The homebred chestnut enjoyed a banner 2020 season, going unbeaten through a four-race campaign which included wins in the G1 Prix Vermeille, G1 Prix de l=Opera and GI Breeders= Cup Turf. Sent postward as the heavily backed 1-2 favourite, she was settled several lengths off the pace, with just one rival behind, in seventh until improving to go fifth at halfway. Making smooth headway on the bridle in the straight, Tarnawa cruised to the front approaching the final furlong and lengthened clear in imperious fashion to easily account for the overmatched Silence Please (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}) by 6 1/2 lengths. Silence Please, in turn, finished 13 lengths clear of the remainder headed by Hector de Maris (Ire) (Camelot {GB}). AIt was her first run back after a long absence and, as you could see, she was carrying a few kilos extra compared to last year,@ said trainer Dermot Weld. AI had to be extra careful with her, after the wonderful dry spell that we=ve had, and my only concern was that I may have left her a little too short.@ Cont. p2 TDN EUROPE • PAGE 2 OF 13 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • 6 AUGUST 2021 Weld continued, AShe has not been away to a racetrack and Tarakala is the best horse out of Listed Oyster S. second has done all her work at home. I=d love to have got her away Tarakana (Shahrastani), who in turn is the leading about two weeks ago, but it just wasn=t possible. She has been representative of Tarafa (Ire) (Akarad {Fr}). Tarafa is a half-sister training extremely well and has probably strengthened since last to five black-type winners headed by G3 Princess Royal S. year. She just cruised there and I thought she was very victress Tashtiya (Ire) (Shergar {GB}), G3 Prix Messidor victor impressive. It was always the plan to start here or the [G3] Give Tassmoun (Kalamoun {GB}) and Listed Chester S. winner Thanks in Cork which she has won the last two years. The Tarikhana (Ire) (Mouktar {Ire}), who in turn is the dam of G1 Prix forecast was for plenty of rain in Cork so I thought it might be Royal-Oak hero Tiraaz (Lear Fan). Tarafa is also kin to the dam more prudent to come here. It was a very true run race.

Trained by Gavin Cromwell, Quick Suzy was purchased privately by the American-based Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners after breaking her maiden at The Curragh on May 3. Joseph Burke, who brokered that deal, said, AShe worked well at The Curragh on Tuesday. But having spoken to Gavin, [jockey] Gary Carroll and Aron Wellman--the head of Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners--we figured, having given her a holiday following Royal Ascot, that we=d give her another couple of weeks and aim for the Prix Morny instead.
