EBN Sunday, 29th March 2015 RACING REVIEW GR.2 GODOLPHIN MILE FOR FAVOURITE TAMARKUZ racing at Meydan yesterday started with the Gr.2 Godolphin MIle on the dirt course. The hot favourite Tamarkuz (Speightstown) was slowly away on the inside, as was Sloane Avenue (Candy Ride) from his wide draw, and the field was taken along by the locally- trained Frankyfourfingers (Sunday Break). The latter still led with 200m to run but was closed down in the final stages as Tamarkuz, who had been able to get into a position behind the leaders, moved to the front and just held off Sloane Avenue by a short-head. Jockey said of his partner’s slow start: “It was a lot for him to take in. I think the whole occasion might have got to him, but he dug so deep for me. It was a really genuine performance. When you win four on the bounce in very good races you have to give him a lot of respect.” The four victories in a row he referred to included February’s Gr.3 Firebreak Stakes and the Gr.3 Burj Nahaar on Super Saturday, and Tamarkuz has now won seven of his 13 starts. He was initially trained by Saeed bin Suroor for Godolphin but now runs in the colours of Hamdan Al Maktoum from the yard of M Al Muhairi. Bred by John Gunther in Kentucky and a $325,000 Keeneland September Sale purchase by Shadwell Estate Company, the chesnut is out of an unraced half-sister to the dual Gr.1 winner and sire Stay Thirsty (Bernardini), Gr.3 winner Andromeda’s Hero (Fusaichi Pegasus) and the Gr.1-placed Stakes winner Superfly (Fusaichi Pegasus).

WORDLESS ON TARGET TO EMULATE SISTERS IN OAKS Three-year-old Wordless (Rock Of Gibraltar) is going in the right direction to emulate her half-sisters Cherry Collect (Oratorio), Charity Line (Manduro) and Final Score (), who all won the Italian Oaks. The filly, who opened her account landing a maiden at Rome in mid-November, was sent off at 1/5 in a field of four, all trained by Stefano Botti, and strolled home in yesterday’s Premio Altaguardia, a conditions race over 2000 metres at San Siro. She settled well and relaxed, while the pacemaker Promissory Note (Rock Of Gibraltar), a half-sister to the 2014 Italian Derby winner Dylan Mouth (Dylan Thomas), set an honest pace. Jockey Fabio Branca asked Wordless to make her move in the last 400m and the filly just had to stretch her legs to score by four lengths from Promissory Note. The final time of 2.12.2 means little and Wordless clocked the last 600 metres in 37.02, which is a good sectional time over the very yelding and slow ground. “She is like her half-sisters – she does very little in the mornings, putting on the handbrake, but changes a lot at the racecourse. Wordless did her job well. It is not the right time to compare this filly with three Classic winners, but she is very pleasing to ride and has plenty of improvement in her,” said jockey Fabio Branca. Wordless, owned by Scuderia Effevi and bred by Razza Flemenstar del Velino, is out of the Stakes winner Holy Moon The triple Gr.1-winning chaser (Hernando), who has a two-year-old colt by Pour Moi (Flemensfirth) was having his first run since November named Magic Mistery and a yearling colt by . 2013 and ran well early on before fading to finish sixth.

Ravenhoe owner, David Abell, was on hand to collect the Brocklesby trophy and a large Plus 10 cheque, which has ensured a quick return on investment into the £16,000    purchase price of the colt.
