NAZEEF PREVAILS IN GORESBRIDGE BREEZE-UP MOVED TO NEWMARKET FALMOUTH The Ireland Goresbridge Breeze-Up Sale has been moved to Newmarket as a result of continued quarantine restrictions for people traveling to Ireland. The sale will remain on its original date of July 24 at Park Paddocks, with the breeze taking place down the road at on July 22. Tattersalls Ireland Chief Executive Matt Mitchell said, "The team at Tattersalls Ireland are doing everything possible to stage a successful breeze-up sale and by holding our Goresbridge sale in Newmarket it allows all purchasers to attend the sale at the leading breeze-up sale venue in Europe without the imposition of the travel restrictions currently in place in Ireland. We are taking every precaution to make the sale the safest environment for our staff and clients and strict proven protocols will be in place. Live Internet Bidding, which has proved extremely successful already at Tattersalls, will be available to all purchasers who cannot attend the sale in person as well as telephone bidding on the day of the sale."

Confirming her upward trajectory, Shadwell=s Nazeef (GB) ( {Ire}) had her determined head down where it counted to come out on top of a three-way go in Friday=s G1 Tattersalls Falmouth S. at Newmarket. Looking all heart when successful in the G2 Duke of Cambridge S. over this mile trip at Royal Ascot on June 16, the 9-2 shot was ideally placed by Jim Crowley in the slipstream of the 5-6 favourite Terebellum (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) throughout the early stages. Working her way past that stablemate in the last 150 yards, the homebred had to dig in as Billesdon Brook (GB) (Champs Elysees {GB}) emerged strong on the other side of the long-time leader but proved up to her latest assignment to master her by a neck, with the same margin back to Terebellum. AShe=s come a long way now and is a real trier and gorgeous- looking as well,@ Crowley said. ATo cap it like that is testament to her will to win.

She could have gone the other way from Ascot, but has taken a big step forwards again. She seems to be always hitting the line very hard and I wouldn=t rule out going further or taking on the boys. She=s a tough filly and a pleasure to ride wherever she goes.@ Lightly-raced at three, the fully-mature Nazeef has now had only one fewer outings in the last six weeks than she had in her previous campaign. Off the mark over seven furlongs on this track last June, she went on to take a Chelmsford mile novice contest in early September before scoring by six lengths in a handicap on fast ground on the Rowley Mile here later that month.

Pedigree Notes Burke had talked about the mile Classics as feasible targets for Dandalla next spring following her Royal Ascot win, but this was not the performance of a filly in need of further and the suggestion from her pedigree is that it is more unlikely than likely that she possesses stamina for a mile. One of the dam=s half-sisters was the Italian listed scorer Konkan (Ire) (Aussie Rules), who was stretched at that trip, but there is hope from another of her half-siblings as the listed-placed Cortese (Ire) ( {Ire}) was a stayer.

A DARING STAND FOR SAEZ TESTS POSITIVE FOR COVID-19; TAKEN OFF KEENELAND MOUNTS GENDER EQUALITY After riding the second race at Keeneland today, where he finished second aboard Fortuna (Medaglia d=Oro), jockey Luis Saez received a positive result back from a COVID-19 test he took on Thursday at Keeneland, and was removed from the remainder of his mounts. The news was confirmed by Keeneland=s Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Vince Gabbert. Since July 4, Saez has ridden at four different tracks-- Keeneland, Belmont, Indiana Grand, and Los Alamitos. ABased on the protocols we set up, we had him and several others isolated based on the areas in which they have been riding,@ said Gabbert, who explained that Keeneland is currently operating with four jockeys rooms to keep people together who had already been together and to maximize social distancing.

Swiss Skydiver | Coady by Chris McGrath IN TDN EUROPE TODAY In theory, all horses are created equal. Then stuff happens. NAZEEF PREVAILS IN FALMOUTH THRILLER Between their genes, accidents of life, and the designs of those Nazeef (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) backed up a Royal Ascot who raise and train them, they develop strengths and flaws. And win with a Group 1 score in Friday’s Falmouth S. Click or tap we end up, like George 's pigs, with "some animals more here to go straight to TDN Europe. equal than others." After hundreds of years of observation, however, we have concluded that one half of the breed is born with an athletic superiority over the other. And we duly grant Swiss Skydiver (Daredevil) a five-pound concession for daring to square up to males in the GII Toyota Blue Grass S. Saturday. Her participation redeems afresh a race that had lost its bearings : first when Keeneland's spring meet was called off; and then when Maxfield (Street Sense), having promised to turn the revised Classic calendar to opportunist and thrilling advantage, glumly returned to the sidelines. The first six names engraved on the Blue Grass roll of honor include Bull Lea, Bimelech and Shut Out, while a Round Table or or Spectacular Bid would reliably maintain standards every few years thereafter. But the race palpably suffered from that experiment with a synthetic surface which-- whatever its benefits--was perceived to invalidate its purpose as a rehearsal for a GI Kentucky Derby on dirt. Three years ago, the Blue Grass was relegated to Grade II level. Cont. p3 PUBLISHER & CEO Sue Morris Finley @suefinley [email protected]

But McPeek is always animated sooner by adventure than petty strike-rates and, once the idea was floated, it always seemed likely that Swiss Skydiver would try to add an audacious new chapter to what is already a remarkable tale. When she first blossomed in the spring, remember, McPeek gave earnest consideration to filling the Oaks void by shipping for a Classic in Newmarket instead.

Cont. from p1 Good Magic (Curlin) soon initiated a revival, however, when beaten at only by a Triple Crown winner; and last Saturday the 2019 winner, Vekoma (Candy Ride {Arg}), reiterated his elite caliber in the GI Met Mile. The boldness of the Swiss Skydiver team, then, duly completes a good week for this historic prize. With a GI Kentucky Oaks gate long secured, trainer Kenny McPeek and owner Peter Callahan have asked themselves how her world might look if she also had 100 starting points for the Derby. In partly attributing the decision to the fact that he already had Envoutante (Uncle Mo) for the GI Central Bank Ashland S., McPeek will have made some people wonder how Ken McPeek | Coady patrons of bigger barns reconcile themselves to horses in different ownership being "socially distanced" in this way.

Drawn widest in the field of 10, the handsome blaze-faced bay raced three off the fence leaving the stretch for the first time and punched the breeze from up close as High Crime (Violence) set sensible fractions of :23.19 and :46.91 in advance of fellow longshot Parlor (Lonhro {Aus}). High Crime carried a tenuous advantage into the final two furlongs, but Parlor raced under a long Florent Geroux hold as they reached the entrance to the straight and struck to the front an eighth of a mile from the line. Parlor led grimly into the final 50 yards and was looking for the line, but War of Will was kept to his task by Preakness-winning rider Tyler Gaffalione and got home half a head to the good. Favored Raging Bull (Fr) (Dark Angel {Ire}) sat a midfield trip and hit the line with good energy to be third, just in advance of his fast-finishing stablemate Without Parole (GB) (Frankel {GB}).
