AIt=s building up to be a Frankel (GB) at Newmarket who bought him for 20,000gns in the same ring last really true test for him and I CBoss Photo December. Cont. p4 think it=s exciting,@ said Grimthorpe. AI=ve always come into this with the You can also pick up a copy of the TDN attitude that we have to enjoy him. The horse has done today at the everything that we could possibly have dreamt about Tattersalls October Yearling Sale. and I hope he=ll run a huge race on Saturday.@ Of the likely ground conditions, Grimthorpe added, AI would think that soft wouldn=t be too much of a problem. It was quite soft when he worked on the racecourse [on Wednesday], but [work rider] Shane [Fetherstonhaugh] got off him and said he handled it very nicely. Henry [Cecil] is very pleased with him and it=s all systems go.@ Rod Street, Chief Executive of British Champions Series Ltd, offered, ATo have four of the world=s top six turf horses confirmed for Saturday promises something very special indeed for Britain=s richest raceday, especially in the QIPCO Champion S., where Frankel looks like facing the toughest assignment of his career as he attempts to retain his unbeaten record. It=s expected to be the world number one=s final race and a capacity crowd will be ready to bid him farewell on a day that=s likely to build to an unparalleled and highly charged crescendo shortly after 4 p.m. Four out of the five winners from last year, Frankel, Cirrus des Aigles, Fame And Glory and Dancing Rain, as well as three of the runners-up, Excelebration, Wizz Kid and Opinion Poll, have been confirmed today, which is amazing. The eyes of the racing world, and indeed the sporting world, will be on Ascot like never before.@ Cont. p3 In This Issue PEB’s TDN Sketch of the Week 60 Broad St., Suite 100 Red Bank, NJ 07701 (732) 747-8060 (732) 747-8955 (fax) www.thoroughbreddailynews.com www.thetdn.com

Champion cont. from p1

Among those looking to deny the Warren Place colossus Frankel a perfect send-off are Jean-Claude Alain Dupouy=s Cirrus des Aigles (Fr) (Even Top {Ire}), Lady Rothschild=s Nathaniel (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), Stall Antanando=s Pastorius (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}) and His Highness The Aga Khan=s Ridasiyna (Fr) (Motivator {GB}), who have won a total of eight Group 1 races between them. APastorius is coming over for the Champion S.,@ trainer Mario Hofer said of the G1 Deutsches Derby and G1 Grosser Dallmayr-Preis winner. AHe is in very good condition and everything is fine with him. I have seen that the weather forecast is for a little bit of rain and he loves soft ground. Frankel is in another world compared to our horse and I would be delighted if we made the first three. I am very happy with Pastorius and, without risk, there is no reward.@ Also in the mix are Susan Magnier, Michael Tabor, Derrick Smith and Joseph Allen=s progressive and still-unexposed Declaration of War (War Front) and Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Maktoum=s Master of Hounds (Kingmambo), with Frankel=s three-parts brother and established lead horse Bullet Train (GB) (Sadler=s Wells) making up the field.

EXCELEBRATION TOPS QEII LIST Derrick Smith, Susan Magnier and Michael Tabor=s Excelebration (Ire) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) yesterday headed the 10 runners still engaged in Saturday=s G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. at Ascot, with Aidan O=Brien issuing a positive bulletin on the dual Group 1 winner. Last seen winning the Aug. 12 G1 Prix Jacques le Marois from two of Saturday=s chief rivals Cityscape (GB) (Selkirk) and Elusive Kate (Elusive Quality), the 4-year-old will bid to go one better than 12 months ago in the mile contest in which he chased home Frankel (GB) (Galileo {Ire}). ASo far, everything is good and we=ve been happy with him since the last day,@ O=Brien said. AHe had a busy enough campaign early meeting Frankel twice, but we were delighted with him in France last time.@ Khalid Abdullah=s 6-year-old Cityscape, who was third behind Wise Dan (Wiseman=s Ferry) in the Sept. 16 GI Woodbine Mile since that Deauville contest, looks set to have his favored easy ground which may not favor Teruya Yoshida=s Elusive Kate, who has also been beaten since the Jacques le Marois when runner-up in Newmarket=s G1 Sun Chariot S. Sept. 29. The Queen=s Carlton House (Street Cry {Ire}), Iraj Parvizi=s June 19 G1 St James=s Palace S. winner (Ire) (Lawman {Fr}) and the aforementioned Oct. 5 G3 Diamond S. winner Declaration of War (War Front) are others who could take their chances in the Champions= Day highlight. Regarding Carlton House, racing manager to The Queen John Warren offered, AThe plan is for Carlton House to run at Ascot. All is very well with him and he is on target for the weekend. I wouldn=t think any of the horses would like the ground to be bottomless, but I don=t think that we are too concerned about the going. If it really tipped down, then we would discuss it, but we are happy with everything at the moment.@ P TDN HEADLINE NEWS • 10/16/12 • PAGE 4 of 14 • thoroughbreddailynews.com

Tattersalls cont. from p1 Gordon-Watson=s record of buying for Saeed Suhail includes the 2003 Derby winner Kin (Kris S.) and the Kyllachy colt will race in Suhail=s blue and yellow silks, which have also been carried by Arabian Gleam (GB) and Awinnersgame (Ire), two colts who are bred on the same Kyllachy-Danehill cross. AThis horse has been bought for Saeed,@ confirmed Gordon-Watson. AI=m not sure where the horse will be trained, but he is a lovely 2-year- old type.@ The Kildare-based Corduff Stud celebrated another good pinhooking result with a son of Dalakhani (lot 638), whom they bought in December for 42,000gns and sold yesterday for 90,000gns, and finished the day as leading vendor with three lots sold for a total of Peter Doyle 315,000gns. Tattersalls photo Peter Doyle selected Horse Park Stud=s fellow top lot by Exceed and Excel--who doubled in price from when he was sold at Tattersalls last year--for the trainer/owner team of Amanda Perrett and John Connolly. The pair celebrated a win at Goodwood on Sunday with Empiricist (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}), who was also bought by Doyle at last year=s sale for 67,000gns. AHe=s a lovely horse with a great action and I love the sire,@ said Peter Doyle. AWe=ve bought four so far for Richard Hannon, and Amanda and I have been trying hard all day.@
