While they are a useful marketing tool, and help durability. support the commercial sector of the market, they run Acclamation's progeny wasted absolutely no time in the risk of giving an unbalanced view of the demonstrating that they had inherited ample measures two-year-old scene. For example, Dark Angel collected of their sire's speed and precociousness. Even before a first prize of ,187,000 while achieving a Racing Post the Royal Ascot meeting in June, he had notched up 12 rating of 99+ in the St Leger Yearling S. Compare that individual winners from a crop of 85 and the winners to the amounts earned--and the ratings achieved--by have continued to flow, to the extent that his total now the winners of the same meeting's three juvenile group stands at 20. No fewer than nine of his runners have races. Fast Company, Sir Gerry and Nahoodh earned black-type, with Dark Angel leading a team of respectively received ,23,000, ,76,000 and ,50,000 in four stakes winners. achieving ratings of 107, 112 and 106. Acclamation's Speed has been the dominant feature of his progeny, impressive prize-money total also includes a sum of to the extent that 27 of their 30 victories in Britain or nearly ,200,000 collected by his son Hitchens in Ireland have been gained over five or six furlongs. The finishing second in the Goffs Million for colts and exceptions have been the useful Newly Elected, whose geldings. dam raced at up to 1 1/2 miles, and the mile winner I'm delighted to say, though, that Dark Angel has Tamara Moon, who is out of a mare by the Arc winner now shown that he, too, is worthy of group success, Peintre Celebre. as he led throughout to defeat Group 2 winner Strike In view of the parallels between Acclamation and the Deal by a neck in the G2 Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef Royal Applause, there is a fair chance that Acclamation S. (with Berbice, another son of Acclamation, in third). will sire the occasional good winner beyond a mile. In the process, he again emulated his sire Acclamation, Royal Applause's stakes winners include Take A Bow, a who also achieved a Group 2 success (at the age of Group 3 winner over 1 1/4 miles this year, and Ticker four, in the Diadem S.). Tape, winner of the GI American Oaks. Acclamation represents another considerable success Six furlongs already suits Dark Angel better than five, for the Cashman family's Rathbarry Stud, previously but there's no guarantee that he will stay much further, home to several other high-ranked new stallions, such as his second dam Night At Sea--another who as Alzao, Barathea and Tagula. His lack of a Group 1 contested the King George S.--gained her only stakes success meant that Acclamation started his stallion success over five furlongs. Incidentally, his third dam, career at only i10,000 in 2004, but it quickly became Into Harbour, was a daughter of Right Tack, a dual apparent that the Rathbarry team had a potential hit on Guineas winner whose sire, Hard Tack, was produced its hands. Acclamation's first weanlings were in solid by Acclamation's fourth dam, Cowes. Hard Tack's best demand at the sales, and it was a similar story at the effort was a second--you've guessed it--in the King 2006 yearling sales, even though none of his George S. youngsters sold for more than 90,000gns. As a 61,000-guineas purchase at Doncaster, Dark Angel was one of Acclamation's most popular sons, and he has proved an excellent buy. Acclamation was bred to mature very quickly, as both his parents--Royal Applause and the Ahonoora mare Princess Athena--gained their first group success as two-year-olds at Royal Ascot in June. Royal Applause took the Coventry S., whereas Princess Athena landed the Queen Mary S., and Acclamation's second dam, Shopping Wise, was by Floribunda, another impressive winner of one of Royal Ascot's main juvenile prizes. There's a temptation to think that horses which mature quickly will ultimately pay the price for possessing precocious speed. However, Acclamation's immediate ancestors--far from burning themselves out-- trained on very well. Royal Applause proceeded to win the G2 Gimcrack S. and G1 Middle Park S. during an unbeaten juvenile campaign and returned to his best at four, when he was Europe's champion sprinter. Princess Athena went on to be placed at three and four in the G3 King George S. over Goodwood's fast five furlongs. In this tale of coincidences, Princess Athena's sire Ahonoora and broodmare sire Floribunda also contested the King George, winning in 1961 and 1979, respectively. .

  • The Cathay Pacific Hong Kong International Races 2008 – the Turf World Championships
    Welcome to the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong International Races 2008 – The Turf World Championships. This year’s CXHKIR will welcome its largest ever number of global racing stars to Sha Tin on Sunday, 14 December. Four G1 races, worth a combined HK$62m (approx. US$8m) in stakes, have invited a record 37 international runners to join 18 of the very best from Hong Kong. Sixteen individual G1 winners are present from 11 racing jurisdictions overall. In the FORM GUIDE of each race, the PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS table provides you with a bird-eye's view of the race. This at-a-glance guide gives you a full form summary of the horses in a simple and concise table. Another handy tool is the INTERNATIONAL RATINGS CHART. In weight-for-age races like the Cathay Pacific HKIR, generally speaking, the higher a horse's rating, which is based on racing performance, the better its chance to win. A preliminary SPEED CHART has been included to assist in identifying likely positions in running. Please note that this is preliminary only and the full Speed Map will be available after barrier draw in the SpeedPOWER Form Guide on www.hkjc.com/english/formguide/formguide.asp. If you need further information and analysis, just flip over to the next section where you will find the COMPREHENSIVE PAST PERFORMANCE of the horses. Also included is the FORM ANALYSIS, which highlights the notable achievements and racing characteristics of each horse. Another feature is the RATINGS HISTORY CHART.
