Although he stood the latest season at at 100 and 200 meters, to a charity race over 600 or i65,000 (and the 2008 season at i75,000), his first 800 meters. A possible clash between these titans of four crops were all sired at only i10,000. His excellent the track created plenty ofspeculation, with many first-season results led to his fee rising to i35,000 in predicting that Farah=s stamina would trump Bolt=s 2007, the year that Moonlight Cloud was conceived. speed. Invincible Spirit=s finest moment on the track came The connections of Intello no doubt hoped that his when he emulated his sire Green Desert by winning the stamina would also prove decisive when this impressive G1 Sprint Cup at Haydock. However, his pedigree winner of the G1 Prix du Jockey-Club tackled the very wasn=t that of a one-dimensional sprinter. His dam speedy Moonlight Cloud in Sunday=s G1 Prix Jacques le Rafha was a G1 Prix de Diane winner from a family Marois--especially when there was reason for thinking with endless stamina, so I expected him to sire some that the distance of a mile wasn=t absolutely ideal for quality winners at a mile and a quarter or more, given either of them. After all, George Strawbridge=s mare some help from his mares. He has duly done so, with had gained nine of her 10 previous successes over six Lawman, his very promising stallion son, staying well and a half or seven furlongs. She had also gone very enough to land the Prix du Jockey-Club.

Speaking of Which and G1 Irish Derby second Born To Run. MOONLIGHT CLOUD, m, 2008 However, there is no escaping the fact that speed-- Northern Dancer often precocious speed--has been the main virtue of Danzig Invincible Spirit s progeny. Moonlight Cloud has Pas de Nom = Green Desert underlined this with her trio of victories in the G1 Prix Foreign Courier Sir Ivor Maurice de Gheest, and he has also sired two winners Invincible Spirit Courtly Dee of the G1 July Cup (Fleeting Spirit and Mayson) and (Ire) Kris (GB) Sharpen Up (GB) two of the G1 Cheveley Park S.

She has the attraction of having the blue-hen Doff the Derby as her third dam. Doff the Derby in turn was a daughter of the similarly celebrated Margarethen, who also produced the outstanding Trillion, dam of the extraordinary Triptych. Margarethen=s name has also cropped up this year as the fifth dam of Treve, the exciting winner of the Prix de Diane. Doff the Derby earned her blue-hen status by producing a pair of dual Classic winners in Generous (Derby and Irish Derby) and Imagine (Irish 1000 Guineas and Epsom Oaks), plus four other stakes winners. One of them, Wedding Bouquet, is the second dam of Moonlight Cloud. Wedding Bouquet was a 3/4-sister to Generous, as both were by sons of Nijinsky. However, Wedding Bouquet=s sire Kings Lake was much speedier than Generous= sire Caerleon and Wedding Bouquet was fast enough to win the GIII Monrovia H. over 6 1/2 furlongs. She had earlier been placed in the G1 Phoenix S. and G1 National S. at two, when she also scored three times. Moonlight Cloud=s dam Ventura resulted from Wedding Bouquet=s visit to Rainbow Quest=s son Spectrum. This was a likeable match, as Rainbow Quest had done very well with daughters and grand-daughters of Nijinsky, once siring a French 2000 Guineas second from a Kings Lake mare. Spectrum was very good on his day, as he showed in winning the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas and the Champion S., but his sale to South Africa in 2004 reflects the fact that he hadn=t developed into the excellent outcross stallion that Coolmore no doubt had in mind when they bought him. He had his moments, though, notably siring Golan (G1 2000 Guineas and G1 King George) and Gamut (G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud), as well as Tartan Bearer. This narrow loser of the 2008 Derby was out of a mare by Generous, so had a pedigree quite similar to that of Moonlight Cloud=s dam Ventura. A listed-placed winner over a mile, Ventura was sold for 500,000gns at the end of her racing career. Her price dropped to 58,000gns by the time Strawbridge sold her in 2009. Then along came the 2-year-old Moonlight Cloud to restore Ventura=s price to 260,000gns a year later. Moonlight Cloud=s Group 1 victory at three prompted another visit to the sales ring in 2011, when Ventura sold for 900,000gns to M.V. Magnier. She has a yearling filly by Makfi and is now in foal to Galileo, who sired her other stakes winner, the stayer Cedar Mountain. Incidentally, Galileo yet again had a magnificent time last week, including with his 2-year-olds. Ventura=s half-sister Maddelina now ranks as the second dam of the group-winning middle-distance stayer Hawaafez, while another half-sister, Wedding Morn, produced the 2012 2-year-old Group 2 winner Probably. Moonlight Cloud is by no means the Margarethen family=s first Group 1 winner from the Danzig male line, as it also scored at the top level with Danehill=s sons Landseer (French 2000 Guineas and Keeneland Turf Mile) and Horatio Nelson (Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere), as well as with Green Desert=s son Tamarisk (Sprint Cup at Haydock)..

On Monday it was announced that we shall have to get used to something else: next year there will be no John Oxx training at Currabeg on the edge of The Curragh, with the legendary Irish trainer having revealed his intention to retire at the end of November. Few readers of this publication will be able to recall such a situation, but even for those whose racing memories are restricted to some or all of the 42 seasons in which the current John Oxx has been at the helm of this most dependable of vessels, this truly is the end of an era. John Oxx Sr began training in 1943 at the age of 33. Seven years later he bought Currabeg, and 70 years of sustained excellence in that iconic stable began. Oxx remained among the leaders of his profession for decades, most obviously being champion trainer in 1958.

Golden Horn, Gleneagles Slated to Finally Meet in Irish Champion The much anticipated matchup between star European miler GLENEAGLES (IRE) and fellow standout GOLDEN HORN (GB) appears set to finally take place Saturday in Leopardstown’s $1.33 million “Win and You’re In” QIPCO Irish Champion (GI), with an eight-horse field in place, and a berth in the Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf going to the winner. The Irish Champion is one of three Challenge races at Leopardstown and highlights a weekend that features 10 total “Win and You’re In” races, including the prestigious Ricoh Woodbine Mile (GI) Sunday. A rainy forecast for Friday has caused Leopardstown officials to move the Irish Champion to the outside course, and to start Saturday’s race about one hour earlier in the program. The connections of both Coolmore’s Gleneagles and Anthony Oppenheimer’s Golden Horn, the pair of 3-year-old standouts are expected to meet in the 1 ¼-mile race after the latter withdrew from a potential clash in the “Win and You’re In” Juddmonte International (GI) at York August 19 due to the soft turf.
