The bay filly took a 1 7/16-mile allowance over the Gulfstream lawn in her U.S. unveiling Feb. 18. Looking to go two-for-two in her first foray into graded stakes company, La Luna de Miel was taken in hand and settled into a stalking fourth. She took closer order along the rail on the turn, angled to the outside for the drive and forged to the lead late to win going away. AShe=s bred for the distance with that sire,@ said winning trainer Graham Motion. AShe came to us at Palm Meadows in November. David [Rock], my assistant deserves credit for how she=s done here. He=s had her here all winter. One reason she was sent over is that there are so many more black-type opportunities for fillies and mares over here. We were hoping there would be some speed in the race and that=s the way it developed.

Staff Profile: Head Lad Flat Focus: The Derby Photos Of The Month Trainer Talk At this time of year, the racing world unleashes a collective desire to pinpoint the likely stars of the summer. It is only natural to want to celebrate the very best, to consider that we might be in the midst of greatness, but sometimes this can be un- healthy, with good or very good horses afforded the status of exceptional in order to fill a void left by those who captured our imagination most of all. True excellence is devalued if we consider every Classic winner a great, and we must be careful of not falling into this trap over the next few months. While we may still stumble upon a 125-plus horse to headline the campaign, trials season has suggested otherwise, with the markets for both Guineas, the Derby and the Oaks given a real shakeup as many of last year’s stellar two-year-olds failed to live up to their billing.

The vast majority of runners by Nayef have been middle-distance horses and stayers, so Tamayuz (who is out of a Nureyev mare), arguably the top French 3-year-old miler of 2008, has proved an exception. He=s also proved a pretty useful sire at Shadwell=s Irish arm, Derrinstown, where Tamayuz will be standing for a career-low i8,000 next year (Nayef himself is still at stud at Shadwell in England, for ,5,000).
