Laurens the Darling of Deauville MONDAY, 29 JULY 2019 LAURENS THE DARLING ROARING LION RECOVERING FROM COLIC SURGERY IN NZ OF DEAUVILLE 2018 Cartier Horse of the Year Roaring Lion (Kitten=s Joy-- Vionnet, by Street Sense) is recovering from colic surgery at Cambridge Equine Veterinary Hospital in New Zealand, Cambridge Stud announced early Sunday morning. The Qatar Racing colourbearer, who has been withdrawn from service for the entirety of the Southern Hemisphere covering season as a result, was due to stand his first season at the historic nursery for NZ$35,000 + GST. Shuttling from his Northern Hemisphere base of Tweenhills Stud, the four-time Group 1 winner had just cleared quarantine at 6 a.m. local time Sunday morning and had been enjoying some time in his paddock when his symptoms began which resulted in emergency surgery. Cont. p10 Laurens | Scoop Dyga IN TDN AMERICA TODAY THE WEEK IN REVIEW: LATEST IN HOLLENDORFER CASE She may not have the level of adoration or the nine group 1s Following Jerry Hollendorfer’s preliminary injunction, Del Mar of Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}), but fellow female a-lister may also be a winner in the latest Week in Review by Bill Finley. Laurens (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) was advertising her own prowess at Click or tap here to go straight to TDN America. that level when making it an incredible six on Sunday in Deauville=s G1 Prix Rothschild. Successful in Last year=s G1 Prix Saint-Alary and G1 Prix de Diane on her last two trips to France, the 9-5 favourite was sent on to make it a test and use her stride by PJ McDonald and led the main group racing up the centre. In front overall approaching the final three furlongs as Beshaayir (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}) faded out of contention towards the stand=s side, she was clear but paddling as last year=s winner With You (GB) (Dansili {GB}) and Obligate (GB) (Frankel {GB}) found their stride. While she may have been tiring late, John Dance=s pride and joy never looked likely to be caught and hit the line with a half-length to spare over the former, with Obligate 1 1/2 lengths away in third. McDonald was overjoyed that the 4-year-old had silenced concerns after her latest sixth in the G1 Queen Anne S. at Royal Ascot June 18. AThe doubters have been out about her, which is very unfair as she=s run two solid races this year and very few horses can compete at that level and be as consistent,@ he said. Cont. p2 TDN EUROPE • PAGE 2 OF 14 • THETDN.COM MONDAY • 29 JULY 2019 G1 Prix Rothschild Cont. from p1 AShe not let us down once and is an absolute pleasure for me to be associated with. I was always going to ride her aggressively today as I wanted to dominate and make it a proper test. I wasn=t going to give it to them easy and I could see on the big screen that I was clear. I sat into her with half a mile to go and got a run out of her there, so I was always going to be open for something coming to get us. I could feel my filly getting a bit tired, but I know she doesn=t lack for guts. She has a very good kick and it=s better to use that in the middle part of the race and get horses in trouble. When you can do that at a very early stage against fillies, they get into trouble at halfway and have to really dig deep to get back into it and a lot can=t do it. She=s a once-in- a-lifetime filly for me and the chances of me riding something like her again is highly unlikely. I=m under no illusions.@ Trainer Karl Burke and his team have had to coax Laurens back to a peak after a setback following the Royal meeting and he admitted that the owner was having an attack of nerves beforehand. APeople were calling whether we should have kept her in training, including John, he was having second thoughts and thought he=d made the wrong decision,@ he explained. AShe=s a high-class filly and still showed us at home that she had plenty of ability. This is all down to [daughter] Lucy and my staff at home, who after the niggles we have had with her have worked very hard to get her right.@ Laurens won this a long way from home, crushing those rivals (Ire) (Peintre Celebre) and granddaughter of Raysiya (Ire) (Cure who chose to track her and it was no coincidence that last year=s the Blues). She is the ancestress of Australian stakes winner winner With You and Obligate were the best finishers having Highland Beat (Aus) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) and the G1 Prix de raced away from her following Beshaayir towards the rail. l=Opera heroine Kinnaird (Ire) (Dr Devious {Ire}).
