Second to ‘TDN Rising Star’ Persian King (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) in Newmarket’s G3 Autumn S. over this mile trip Oct. 13, the 2-1 favourite raced in fifth early under Donnacha O’Brien with the stable setting a fierce pace with Western Australia (Ire) (Australia {GB}) towing Circus Maximus (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Needing niggling along and looking for a spell to be in trouble off that demanding tempo, the imposing bay entered contention inside the final quarter mile and there were five in line with little between them approaching the half-furlong marker. They included all three from Ballydoyle and the G3 Acomb S. winner and G2 Champagne S. runner-up Phoenix of Spain (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), as well as the Listed Ascendant S. scorer Great Scot (GB) (Requinto {Ire}), but it was Magna Grecia who had the strongest final input to beat Phoenix of Spain by a head. Western Australia stuck on to be 3/4 of a length away in third, despite having raced on the edge throughout, with Circus Maximus and Great Scot just a short head and a neck further behind. Cont. p2 TDN EUROPE • PAGE 2 OF 20 • THETDN.COM SUNDAY • 28 OCTOBER 2018 Magna Grecia In Charge At Doncaster cont. from p1 Pedigree Notes The winner, who provided a ninth renewal for Aidan O’Brien, Magna Grecia, who only made his debut just under four weeks had to survive a stewards’ inquiry as he caused interference to ago when winning by 3 1/2 lengths over seven furlongs at Naas the runner-up late on. “He’s still a little bit green and babyish, Sept. 30, becomes the first black-type winner for Cabaret (Ire), but he’s coming forward lovely and would have learnt a lot who despite being by Galileo (Ire) had enough speed to take the today,” Aidan said. “He had to fight to the line and is a lovely G3 Silver Flash S. over seven furlongs as a juvenile. After failing horse who is a miler. I’d imagine he’s a Guineas horse and will to place thereafter, including when tried in the G1 Epsom Oaks, probably start there--that’s what we think--that will be his thing she was denied the opportunity of joining the Coolmore and he might not get a lot further than a mile.” broodmare band and was sold to BBA Ireland on behalf of Aidan O’Brien is one off Sir Henry Cecil’s record of 10 in this Woodnook Farm for 600,000gns at the 2011 Tattersalls and it is only a matter of time before he equals and then December Mares Sale. Her best prior to Magna Grecia was his 4- exceeds that tally. Magna Grecia appears to differ from all of the year-old full-brother Invincible Ryker (Ire), who took a handicap stable’s prior winners as a colt who is poised more for the mile at Dundalk over seven furlongs last term and appeared not to Classics next term rather than the middle-distance ones which see out an extra furlong when tried. Cabaret is kin to the G3 this race in its older guise leant towards. Even last year’s winner Solario S. winner Drumfire (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) and the Saxon Warrior (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) looked at the time to be smart sprinter Ho Choi (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) who was runner-up in a genuine Derby colt and it was only later that it became clear the G2 Gimcrack S.

He would have had no problem running over five or six, which is always a good sign but he was off through the summer and then we had that funny spell after that. Ryan loved him when he rode him first time and he was a little bit green at Newmarket, so that’s why he’s there. He’s unexposed still really. We didn’t have many Invincible Spirits before, but with him being an influence for speed he’s a good cross with Galileo.” Phoenix of Spain’s trainer Charlie Hills said of the runner-up, “He had the form and he’s a seriously good horse. He’s had a great season and has got the mile well. He’s a nice horse to look forward to next year obviously. They went a good gallop there and he got it pretty well. If he gets a mile and a quarter, all the better. If he gets a mile and a half, even better.” TDN EUROPE • PAGE 3 OF 20 • THETDN.COM SUNDAY • 28 OCTOBER 2018 Saturday, Doncaster, Britain VERTEM FUTURITY TROPHY S.-G1, £231,000, Doncaster, 10-27, 2yo, c/f, 8fT, 1:37.72, g/s. 1--MAGNA GRECIA (IRE), 127, c, 2, by Invincible Spirit (Ire) 1st Dam: Cabaret (Ire) (GSW-Ire), by Galileo (Ire) 2nd Dam: Witch of Fife, by Lear Fan 3rd Dam: Fife (Ire), by Lomond 1ST BLACK TYPE WIN, 1ST GROUP WIN, 1ST GROUP 1 WIN.

Just about every year at the yearling sales there is an unexpected buzz about an unproven stallion or two, as bloodstock agents and trainers convince themselves that this surprise package could be the next big thing. Now Lawman could hardly be described as a surprise package. After all, he had started his stallion career at Ballylinch Stud at a fee of i25,000 on the strength of his all-the-way victories in the G1 Prix du Jockey-Club and G1 Prix Jean Prat. However, he hadn=t been snapped up by one of the superpowers of European breeding and his fee had fallen to its current level of i15,000 by 2010, the year his first yearlings reached the sales ring.

Golden Horn, Gleneagles Slated to Finally Meet in Irish Champion The much anticipated matchup between star European miler GLENEAGLES (IRE) and fellow standout GOLDEN HORN (GB) appears set to finally take place Saturday in Leopardstown’s $1.33 million “Win and You’re In” QIPCO Irish Champion (GI), with an eight-horse field in place, and a berth in the Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf going to the winner. The Irish Champion is one of three Challenge races at Leopardstown and highlights a weekend that features 10 total “Win and You’re In” races, including the prestigious Ricoh Woodbine Mile (GI) Sunday. A rainy forecast for Friday has caused Leopardstown officials to move the Irish Champion to the outside course, and to start Saturday’s race about one hour earlier in the program. The connections of both Coolmore’s Gleneagles and Anthony Oppenheimer’s Golden Horn, the pair of 3-year-old standouts are expected to meet in the 1 ¼-mile race after the latter withdrew from a potential clash in the “Win and You’re In” Juddmonte International (GI) at York August 19 due to the soft turf.

  • Your Key to Success Welcome to Rathbarry & Glenview Studs 2017
    STALLIONS 2017 STALLIONS 2017 Your Key to Success Welcome to Rathbarry & Glenview Studs 2017 Dear Breeders, The nature of the bloodstock industry is that each and every year brings fresh challenges as well STALLIONS 2017 as new achievements and 2016 has been no different. The main concern is that there has been increased catalogue sizes to cater for a larger foal crop of 2015, so the necessity for breeders to focus on quality and value is more important than ever. Happily we have witnessed another fantastic year for ACCLAMATION’s progeny on the track with 17 Black Type performers including Group 1 Prix de l’Abbaye winner MARSHA and Dual Group 2 winning 2-Y-O MEHMAS. LIMATO has again proved a great advertisement for TAGULA in 2016, when competing at the highest level. He was successful in Group 1 July Cup and Group 1 Prix de la Foret and we look forward to even more successes for him in 2017. As we write the first crop foals by the Group 2 Winning and Dual Group 1 placed 2-Y-O MOOHAAJIM and the Dual Group 1 Winning Miler, XTENSION, are being prepared for the sales ring and we are confident that you will be impressed by their excellent quality and confirmation.
