Tdn Europe • Page 2 of 20 • Thetdn.Com Monday • 31 August 2020 MONDAY, 31 AUGUST 2020 = DONCASTER TO OFFER EARLY MARKET A ALI SISTER A PREMIER CLUES By Kelsey Riley The start of the racing season, and in fact the yearling sales SALE STANDOUT season itself, may have been badly impeded by the coronavirus pandemic, but that didn=t stop Goffs UK=s Premier Yearling Sale graduates from getting off to a flying start once things finally did get underway. One of the fastest from the gate was The Lir Jet (Ire) (Prince Of Lir {Ire}), whose debut victory three days after racing=s resumption on June 3 led to a private deal with Qatar Racing and a subsequent victory in the G2 Norfolk S. 16 days later. It was the second straight year that a Premier graduate had taken that Royal Ascot feature, following on from A=Ali (Ire) (Society Rock {Ire}) in 2019, and it was the first of the sale=s two title defenses of the meeting, with Golden Horde (Ire) (Lethal Force {Ire}) taking the mantel from Advertise (GB) (Showcasing {GB}) in the G1 Commonwealth Cup an hour later.

The transaction could hardly have worked out better, with that yearling going on to become the six-time Group 1 winner Laurens (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}). Creighton, along with his partner Josh Schwartz, are hoping to feature on the leaderboard at the same sale on Sept. 1 and 2 as sellers, with six yearlings set to go under the hammer as part of their Salcey Forest Stud draft. Those include a filly by promising first- season sire Cotai Glory (GB) (lot 322) who is a half-sister to multiple group-winning sprinter A=Ali (Ire) (Society Rock {Ire}), a ,35,000 graduate of the Premier sale in 2018. The March-born filly is poised to provide her breeder Andrew Davis with a cozy return; through Creighton, Davis bought her dam, the Motivator (GB) mare Motion Lass (GB), for just 9,000gns while carrying her at the Tattersalls February Sale. Four months later A=Ali won the G2 Norfolk S. at Royal Ascot followed by the G2 Prix Robert Papin and the G2 Flying Childers S. A sales ring score, however, would come with a touch of sadness, as Motion Lass died at the height of A=Ali=s powers. Cont. p2 TDN EUROPE • PAGE 2 OF 20 • THETDN.COM MONDAY • 31 AUGUST 2020 Daniel Creighton of Salcey Forest Stud Cont. from p1 AFrom day one she=s always been a nice filly; when she was born she had quality and class,@ Creighton recalled of the Cotai Glory filly. AShe's always been very easy to deal with. The mare, unfortunately, colicked and died which was terrible for all of us. And that was after A=Ali won the Norfolk. So it was very disappointing.@ The Cotai Glory filly is just the third foal out of the mare and her only filly. AIt's the only chance to have the bloodline if somebody wants to buy into it, which is quite important,@ Creighton said. AIt's hard not to offer a filly like her because she's quite valuable. She has a lot of quality, a very nice head. She's a good mover, very easy mover in the lunging ring. She floats across the ground, she's very strong and she strikes me as a 2-year-old type. She's probably going to be very similar to her brother in regards to trip and precocity.@ While Davis will feel the loss of Motion Lass for some time, another mare, Solfilia (GB) (Teofilo {Ire}), has likely helped ease the pain. She was picked up by Creighton and Schwartz for 4,500gns at Tattersalls July in 2018, and her 2-year-old at the time, Bodhicitta (GB) (Showcasing {GB}), was Grade I-placed in America in May. Davis opted to retain Solfilia after bidding stalled at ,340,000 during the Tattersalls Online August Sale. Also among Davis=s offerings at the Goffs UK Premier Sale is a colt from the first crop of Time Test (GB) (lot 312) who was bought back for 19,000gns as a foal. He is the first foal out of Midnight (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), whose dam is a full-sister to Rock Of Gibraltar (Ire). AYou=d be hard-pressed to find a horse that can walk better than this horse,@ Creighton said. AHe=s got fantastic action.@ Creighton also pointed to a filly by Kodiac (GB) (lot 52) as a potential head-turner. She is the third foal out of Yukon Girl (Ire) (Manduro {Ger}), a half-sister to the dam of Group 1 winner and sire Mount Nelson (GB). Cont. p3 SHE’S VERY STRONG AND STRIKES ME AS A 2-YEAR-OLD TYPE. SHE’S PROBABLY GOING TO BE VERY SIMILAR TO HER BROTHER IN REGARDS TO TRIP AND PRECOCITY.

AKodiac is riding the crest of a wave right now,@ Creighton said. AHe=s had a fantastic year with Campanelle, Nando Parrado and Hello Youmzain. This filly is a bit weak at the moment but she has a very good back page.

  • Heart Leads Redvers to Sea the Stars Colt
    WEDNESDAY, 23 OCTOBER 2019 SMULLEN: PROMOTION OF THE SPORT IS KEY HEART LEADS REDVERS TO By Pat Smullen SEA THE STARS COLT Oisin Murphy didn't end up with a big winner on Saturday but he's had a big year and that is the important thing. On Saturday I was thinking back to the work rate he has put in this year. He has ridden all over, travelling by plane, by helicopter, however he could get there to ride horses at two different meetings in a day, wherever they may be. His work ethic is something that needs to be applauded--that's what you need to do to be champion jockey. Oisin is not only an excellent rider but he is great for the game. He promotes our industry extremely well and I hope he does so for many years to come. I must admit, earlier in the year I was hoping that Danny Tudhope would be able to pull it off as the work that Danny has to put in to maintain his weight is phenomenal, and nobody sees that behind the scenes, but it wasn't to be.

    $400,000 Pat Day Mile Presented by LG&E and KU (Grade III) 95th Running – Saturday, May 4, 2019 (Kentucky Derby Day) 3-Year-Olds at One Mile on Dirt at Churchill Downs Stakes Record – 1:34.18, Competitive Edge (2015) Track Record – 1:33.26, Fruit Ludt (2014) Name Origin: Formerly known as the Derby Trial, the one-mile race for 3-year-olds was moved from Opening Night to Kentucky Derby Day and renamed the Pat Day Mile in 2015 to honor Churchill Downs’ all-time leading jockey Pat Day. Day, enshrined in the National Museum of Racing’s Hall of Fame in 2005, won a record 2,482 races at Churchill Downs, including 156 stakes, from 1980-2005. None was more memorable than his triumph aboard W.C. Partee’s Lil E. Tee in the 1992 Kentucky Derby. He rode in a record 21 consecutive renewals of the Kentucky Derby, a streak that ended when hip surgery forced him to miss the 2005 “Run for the Roses.” Day’s Triple Crown résumé also included five wins in the Preakness Stakes – one short of Eddie Arcaro’s record – and three victories in the Belmont Stakes. His 8,803 career wins rank fourth all-time and his mounts that earned $297,914,839 rank second. During his career Day lead the nation in wins six times (1982-84, ’86, and ’90-91). His most prolific single day came on Sept. 13, 1989, when Day set a North American record by winning eight races from nine mounts at Arlington Park.
