  • Don't Dream It's Over
    TUESDAY, 22 OCTOBER 2019 THE WEEKLY WRAP: DON'T YEARLING ACTION RETURNS TO DEAUVILLE FOR ARQANA OCTOBER By Emma Berry DREAM IT'S OVER DEAUVILLE, France-There is little let-up in the packed European sales calendar. Tattersalls brought down the shutters on its October marathon on Saturday afternoon but by Monday morning Goffs was back in action with its Autumn Sale and today (Tuesday) sees the start of the four-day Arqana October Sale. This understudy to the flamboyant August yearling sale in Deauville has traditionally been conducted in two parts but this year it has a distinct grading system for each day, with the seemingly strongest set of yearlings offered in the opening session. The sale's clash with a three-day race meeting in the town means that the first two days of trade will not begin until 3 p.m. That may be just as well for those looking at yearlings on Monday who had to spend plenty of time dodging heavy seaside showers. Cont. p5 IN TDN AMERICA TODAY Kameko (left), will bid to reverse the Royal Lodge form with Royal Dornoch in the G1 Vertem Futurity Trophy. | Racing Post FASIG-TIPTON KY OCTOBER BEGAN MONDAY The Fasig-Tipton Kentucky October Yearlings Sale began in Lexington, KY on Monday.

  • Too Darn Hot Will Miss Guineas
    SUNDAY, 21 APRIL 2019 TOO DARN HOT WILL PRETTY POLLYANNA STILL UNDER GUINEAS CONSIDERATION MISS GUINEAS Group 1 winner Pretty Pollyanna (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), who won the G1 Darley Prix Morny in August, is still under consideration for the May 5 G1 QIPCO 1000 Guineas at Newmarket trainer Michael Bell told Racing Post on Saturday. Racing in the colours of Bill and Tim Gredley, the bay was originally aimed at the G3 Nell Gwyn S. which went the way of Qabala (Scat Daddy) at HQ on Apr. 16. Also successful in the G2 Duchess of Cambridge S. last July, Pretty Pollyanna=s connections are considering turning the filly back in trip and pointing toward the G1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot in June. She was last seen running third to Iridessa (Ire) (Ruler of the World {Ire}) in the G1 Fillies= Mile at Newmarket on Oct. 12. AThere's no definite decision, but the Guineas is still very much on the table," said Bell to Racing Post. "The filly looks well and we just need to get through another couple of tests. She's not a Too Darn Hot winning the Dewhurst | Racingfotos.com confirmed runner, but at this stage it's on the table and I'd say intended." Undefeated G1SW Too Darn Hot (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) has been ruled out of an intended start in the May 4 G1 QIPCO 2000 Guineas at Newmarket by trainer John Gosden, Racing Post reported Sunday afternoon.

    TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2019 NIXON HAS BIG PLANS FOR LUCULLAN MAKES THE GRADE IN KNICKERBOCKER by Alan Carasso GRANTLEY ACRES Having flirted with graded stakes success on a couple of previous occasions, Godolphin homebred Lucullan (Hard Spun) got over that hurdle with a fast-finishing victory in Monday=s GII Knickerbocker S. at Belmont Park. The immaculately bred 5-year-old settled in fourth position leaving the stretch as longshot Dr. Edgar (Lookin At Lucky) set only a moderate pace in advance of GISW Glorious Empire (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}), who was content to stalk from second despite his penchant to lead in his races. Favored Catholic Boy (More Than Ready) was purposely kept in the clear from third down the backstretch. Dr. Edgar galloped them along at an even clip, going by the three-furlong pole in 1:12.02, but Lucullan was beginning to warm up to the task as he circled five wide into the lane.

  • Ten Sovereigns Storms Back in the July Cup Cont
    SUNDAY, 14 JULY 2019 JAPAN TAKES AIM AT THE GRAND PRIX TEN SOVEREIGNS STORMS ParisLongchamp plays its part in the Bastille Day celebrations BACK IN THE JULY CUP on Sunday, when the G1 Juddmonte Grand Prix de Paris is the focus. Generally the preserve of Andre Fabre, it looks likely to go west this year with Aidan O=Brien saddling the impressive G2 King Edward VII S. winner Japan (GB) (Galileo {Ire}). Third in the G1 Epsom Derby on June 1, last year=s G2 Beresford S. scorer went through that June 21 Royal Ascot contest with a casual air to suggest he could take high rank among the stable=s Arc candidates. This is the ideal testing ground for the October showpiece and the Ballydoyle handler said, AJapan is good and everything seems fine since Ascot. He had a little bit of a setback in the spring and that is why he just barely made the run at York. We had to wait and see how he was after York and that is why we felt he was just about ready to run in the Derby. He ran a very nice race there.@ Ten Sovereigns and Ryan Moore | racingfotos.com Cont. p10 If there was an element of doubt that >TDN Rising Star= Ten Sovereigns (Ire) (No Nay Never) retained either the ability or enthusiasm that had seen him garner a G1 Middle Park S., they were firmly put aside on Saturday as Ryan Moore dominated Newmarket=s G1 Darley July Cup. While the vibes surrounding Ballydoyle=s beau ideal were understandably lukewarm in the lead-up after a flat effort when fourth in the G1 Commonwealth Cup, the significant morning gamble that took place suggested those in the know were bullish.

  • Same Studs, Exciting New Names Cont
    SATURDAY, 11 JANUARY 2020 year. My one regret is not being able to get to more farms but SAME STUDS, deadlines, daylight and speed limits dictate that only a handful can be reached during the hours of business. EXCITING NEW NAMES Adhering to a strict schedule is key to fitting in as many visits as possible, as is an early start, so with that in mind and considering he was one of only a few stallion masters opening their doors at 9 a.m., it was to Ballyhane Stud first to see Joe Foley and Steve Parkin's new recruit Soldier's Call (GB). The son of Showcasing (GB) appears the type of stallion Foley has been so successful in managing over the years and he arguably has even more commercial appeal than the likes of Captain Rio (GB) and Dandy Man (Ire) when they started off, albeit that is reflected in his opening fee of i10,000. Lest anyone needs reminding Soldier's Call was a precocious, fast and classy juvenile that won the Listed Windsor Castle S. at Royal Ascot, the G3 Prix d'Arenberg at Chantilly and the G2 Flying Childers S. at Doncaster. He also took on his elders with distinction when third in that same season's G1 Prix de l'Abbaye at ParisLongchamp. Although winless at three, he enhanced his Waldgeist enters stud at Ballylinch | Scoop Dyga profile with solid placings against the world's best sprinters in both the G1 King's Stand S. and the G1 Nunthorpe S. and Foley said he is understandably excited about launching him this By Daithi Harvey spring.
