Coolmore Stud in Fethard, Co. Tipperary, is always high on the list for breeders not only for the bloodlines it is home to, but also for a peek at the impressive facilities and the empire that has been built over the years. This year that stud has three new stallions--Calyx (GB), Magna Grecia (Ire) and Ten Sovereigns (Ire)--on its roster of 24 flat stallions spaced between Fethard and Castlehyde Stud.

  • 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.

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.
