Happily Marching on to Fillies= Mile Cont FRIDAY, 13 OCTOBER, 2017 REDZEL EYEING EVEREST PEAK HAPPILY MARCHING ON While the focus of the betting for Saturday=s inaugural A$10- TO FILLIES= MILE million The Everest may be on Gary Portelli=s G1 Golden Slipper winner She Will Reign (Aus) (Manhattan Rain {Aus}), the Peter and Paul Snowden-trained Redzel (Aus) (Snitzel {Aus}) has the form on the board to not only capture the prize in the world=s richest turf race, but to give his large syndicate of owners the absolute thrill of a lifetime. The Everest, modeled after the Stronach Group=s inaugural $12-million GI Pegasus World Cup in January, sold 12 slots for A$600,000 apiece to owners on a three-year commitment, with the purse funded by those entries fees as well as additional revenues generated from the event. Any profits from the event will be distributed among the slot holders (click here for a TDN Q&A on The Everest). Unbeaten in his last four starts all at black-type level, highlighted by the G1 Doomben 10,000, Redzel looks capable of jumping well from gate four.

Having beaten her barnmates Magical (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and September (Ire) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) in the G1 Moyglare Stud S. at The Curragh on Sept. 10, she upstaged the colts in Chantilly=s G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere 12 days ago and is chasing a rare treble here. If she comes up short then Magical, who won the G2 Debutante S. at The Curragh on Aug. 20, and September, who earned >TDN Rising Star= status with a five-length debut score before beating Nyaleti (Ire) (Arch) and the Lagardere third Masar (Ire) (New Approach {Ire}) in Royal Ascot=s Listed Chesham S.

AShe hasn=t done much since, but seems in good form and we were absolutely delighted with her in France. Magical is in good form and hasn=t done much since France. The three are all closely matched and September was just in behind the other two at The Curragh. She=s had a longer break and seems in good form. She has run on soft and seems to handle any type of ground, but her better form has been on better.@ Cont. p2 TDN EUROPE/INTERNATIONAL • PAGE 2 OF 18 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • 13 OCTOBER, 2017 Happily Marching On To Fillies= Mile cont. from p1 If Aidan O=Brien brings a strong hand, then Karl Burke is not shirking a battle with his Sept. 14 G2 May Hill S. winner Laurens (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) and Sept. 24 G3 C.L. & M.F. Weld Park S. winners Ellthea (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}). AI=ve been away at the sales quite a bit in the last couple of weeks, but I saw Laurens canter [Thursday morning] and she looks fantastic,@ revealed Burke. AI think it=s probably the highest-class 2-year-old fillies race run so far this year, but Laurens is a high-class filly and whatever she achieves on Friday we know she=ll improve again next year. Of my two, Ellthea is definitely the more mature. She=s very tough and is on a steep upward curve. I think she=ll have to improve on what she=s done so far to finish in the first three, but I wouldn't rule it out.@ Charlie Appleby pitches in >TDN Rising Star= Magic Lily (GB) (New Approach {Ire}), who took her Newmarket maiden by eight lengths on Sept. 23 but faces a major step up against proven pattern-race rivals. AMagic Lily was impressive over this course and distance on her debut and came out of that race well,@ he commented. We had been toying with the idea of supplementing her and decided to let her take her chance after she worked on Saturday. She is a filly for next year but won=t look out of place in this field and we are confident that she will run a nice race.@ Interestingly, Freddy Head saddles a rare juvenile runner in Britain in >TDN Rising Star= Efaadah (Ire) (Dansili {GB}), who was runner-up in Chantilly=s G3 Prix d=Aumale at this trip on Sept. 3 but who has livelier ground to suit this time. TIME FOR LIMATO Hampered by unsuitable ground conditions for the most part of 2017, Limato (Ire) (Tagula {Ire}) is finally back in action for Friday=s G2 Godolphin Stud and Stable Staff Awards Challenge S. at Newmarket. Third in the G1 Diamond Jubilee S. at Royal Ascot June 24 and runner-up in the G1 July Cup he had won 12 months before on the other course here on July 15, he was only fourth in the G2 Lennox S. over this trip at Glorious Goodwood on Aug. 1 and was denied a chance to defend his crown in the G1 Prix de la Foret as Chantilly turned soft. AIt has been infuriating to have a horse of Limato=s calibre and not be able to do anything with him,@ trainer Henry Candy commented. AHis defeat in the Lennox S. was 80% down to the ground, which was riding soft. We talked ourselves into running him that day when we shouldn=t have. At least it=s been no problem keeping a lid on him at home without a race, as he is a very free worker and keeps himself pretty fit.@ Cont. p3 TDN EUROPE/INTERNATIONAL • PAGE 3 OF 18 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • 13 OCTOBER, 2017 VICE PRESIDENT, INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS Gary King Twitter: @garykingTDN [email protected] + 1.732.320.0975 International Editor Kelsey Riley Twitter: @kelseynrileyTDN [email protected] Limato | Scoop Dyga European Editor Emma Berry Twitter: @collingsberry [email protected] Time for Limato Cont.

AI think she was a little unfortunate in the Rockfel a fortnight ago,@ Juddmonte=s racing manager Teddy Grimthorpe commented. AJust when she needed to get out when the pace quickened, she was a little squeezed. Then she lost her action a bit in the dip before running on really strongly. When she met the rising ground she really lengthened, which was very promising, and we think she should run well again.@ Alongside Butterscotch from Rosegreen is the Dundalk maiden scorer I Can Fly (GB) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), whose four-length success over this trip was visually impressive on Sept.

  • Interpreting Tempo and Rubato in Chopin's Music
    Interpreting tempo and rubato in Chopin’s music: A matter of tradition or individual style? Li-San Ting A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of New South Wales School of the Arts and Media Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences June 2013 ABSTRACT The main goal of this thesis is to gain a greater understanding of Chopin performance and interpretation, particularly in relation to tempo and rubato. This thesis is a comparative study between pianists who are associated with the Chopin tradition, primarily the Polish pianists of the early twentieth century, along with French pianists who are connected to Chopin via pedagogical lineage, and several modern pianists playing on period instruments. Through a detailed analysis of tempo and rubato in selected recordings, this thesis will explore the notions of tradition and individuality in Chopin playing, based on principles of pianism and pedagogy that emerge in Chopin’s writings, his composition, and his students’ accounts. Many pianists and teachers assume that a tradition in playing Chopin exists but the basis for this notion is often not made clear. Certain pianists are considered part of the Chopin tradition because of their indirect pedagogical connection to Chopin. I will investigate claims about tradition in Chopin playing in relation to tempo and rubato and highlight similarities and differences in the playing of pianists of the same or different nationality, pedagogical line or era. I will reveal how the literature on Chopin’s principles regarding tempo and rubato relates to any common or unique traits found in selected recordings.

  • Epsom Derby & Oaks
    Marten Julian’s Epsom Derby & Oaks ONLINE PREVIEW Friday 5 June The Investec Oaks (1m 4f) (4.30) Writing this on Thursday I am assuming the ground will be riding good for the start of the meeting. The going was on the soft side earlier in the week, but temperatures are set to rise and conditions could be quick by Friday unless the forecast thunderstorms hit the course. If they do, then they could bring up to 5mm of rain, which would ease the ground to good to soft, if not softer. There is nothing more frustrating in an analysis of form than a late change in ground conditions, so this uncertainty has to be factored into my preview. Visually the most impressive performance I have seen has come from Crystal Zvezda when she won a Listed trial stakes at Newbury in May. Rated just 78 at the time, on the strength of her maiden win at Lingfield in October, she beat the 98-rated Montalcino going away by three and a half lengths, with 90-rated Pamona half a length back in third. On figures she ran to a mark of around 103, 4lb lower than her new mark of 107. Crystal Zvezda won the race in the manner of a very talented filly. Last in the early stages and still with a wall of horses in front of her a quarter of a mile from home, she was switched approaching the final furlong and in just a couple of strides went clear of her rivals to win with loads in hand.

  • Dubawi Demand Soars at Book 1 Opener
    WEDNESDAY, 9 OCTOBER 2019 DUBAWI DEMAND SOARS SMULLEN: BOUDOT HAS THE KEY TO LONGCHAMP By Pat Smullen AT BOOK 1 OPENER It was great to be at the new ParisLongchamp for the first time. I really enjoyed my weekend and the racing was absolutely tremendous but it was a huge shame about the weather. So much rain fell in such a short space of time and it was well documented beforehand the John Gosden was concerned after walking the track. It was probably the undoing of Enable (GB) but I think Waldgeist (GB) deserved his big day, especially for a horse who has been tremendously consistent through his whole career and expertly trained by Andre Fabre. For me, the most impressive element of the weekend was Pierre-Charles Boudot and how he rides Longchamp. His wins came from everywhere. He was used by a lot of different trainers, including Aidan O'Brien and William Haggas, as well as Andre Fabre of course.
