Fastnet Rock’s Monday Makes All in the Ingabelle

Coolmore’s once-raced Monday (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), who posted a Sept. 3 debut fourth over this seven-furlong trip at Punchestown in her only prior start, stepped forward to shed maiden status in Saturday’s Listed Ballylinch Stud Irish EBF Ingabelle S. at Leopardstown. She was smartly away from an inside gate and dictated at a modest tempo along the fence after the initial strides of this black-type bow. Unflustered until scrubbed along off the home turn, the 12-1 chance refused to buckle and kept on strongly under a final-furlong drive to hold No Speak Alexander (Ire) (Shalaa {Ire}) by 3/4-of-a-length with A Taad Moody (Ire) (Awtaad {Ire}) 1 1/2 lengths back in third.

“She’s the first foal out of Ballydoyle and we thought she was very nice the first day, but she just found Punchestown a bit unusual around those bends,” explained winning trainer Aidan O’Brien. “She probably learned a lot the first day, the ground is lovely and she learned a good bit more today. I’d say she won’t have any problem stepping up quick to a Group race. The [G1 Prix Marcel] Boussac at ParisLongchamp], the [G1] Fillies’ Mile [at Newmarket] and all those races will be open to her.”

Monday, half-sister to a yearling colt by War Front and a weanling filly by Justify, is the first of three foals out of G1 Prix Marcel Boussac heroine Ballydoyle (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), herself a full-sister to MG1SW distaffer Misty For Me (Ire) and MGSP Listed Hurry Harriet S. victress Twirl (Ire). Misty For Me produced three pattern-race winners, most notably MG1SW sire U S Navy Flag (War Front) and three-time Group 1 winner Roly Poly (War Front), and her unraced dam Butterfly Cove (Storm Cat) is a full-sister to G3 Leopardstown 1000 Guineas Trial S. winner Kamarinskaya and a half to MG1SW sire Fasliyev (Nureyev).

Wootton Bassett’s Chindit Strikes In the Champagne

Michael Pescod’s Chindit (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) was two-for-two and the pick on form entering Saturday’s G2 bet365 Champagne S. at Doncaster and he emerged with that tally extended after ousting TDN Rising Star Albasheer (Ire) (Shamardal) for the prize. Successful in a strong renewal of the Listed Pat Eddery S. over this seven-furlong trip at Ascot last time July 25, the Richard Hannon trainee was anchored in rear early by a confident Pat Dobbs with the pace ahead searching and honest. Always travelling best looming down the outside of the pack towards the stands, the 15-8 second favourite had to accelerate to challenge Shadwell’s 7-4 market-leader at the furlong pole and outstay that rival to score by a length. Albasheer clung on to second from State of Rest (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) by a short head as they pulled 7 1/2 lengths clear of the impressive Newmarket novice scorer Mujbar (GB) (Muhaarar {GB}). “We always felt that this horse was tip-top and Pat [Dobbs] rides him at home and was in no doubt how good he thinks he is,” commented the trainer, who was capturing a third renewal since 2014. “He had to come over to find the race today, to where the other two were and he got there quite easily. I thought the first two travelled well and the first three were a long way clear of the fourth.”

Chindit had beaten Alablaq (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) by 1 3/4 lengths on debut over this course and distance July 5 and there was a direct line to Albasheer as a result, with that runner-up also finishing 6 1/2 lengths adrift of Shadwell’s exciting prospect on the day of the Pat Eddery. In that contest, Chindit took a leap forward when beating the subsequent Listed Stonehenge S. winner Cobh (Ire) (Kodi Bear {Ire}), the Convivial Maiden winner and G3 Prix la Rochette third Naval Crown (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) and the Listed Washington Singer S. scorer Saint Lawrence (Ire) (Al Kazeem {GB}). Albasheer did not appear to have any excuse in defeat here and this confirmed the upward trajectory of the winner. “That’s probably the best two-year-old race of the season so far. The second is a very good horse and the third obviously is,” Hannon added. “To find a very good horse like him with a good temperament is something you don’t get every year. This is another step up and it’s on to the [G1] Dewhurst, hopefully. That’s the plan at the moment. That’s the big race of the year and that is where we’re heading, along with [the G3 Solario S. winner] Etonian (Ire) (Olympic Glory {Ire}). His attitude and the way he behaves gives him every chance of being a horse for the 2000 Guineas–he does look a miler.”

Chindit is the first foal out of Always a Dream (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), a granddaughter of the listed-winning Out West (Gone West) whose claim to form was producing the G1 Epsom Derby and G1 Racing Post Trophy hero and successful sire Motivator (GB) and his G2 Hardwicke S.-winning full-brother Macarthur (GB) who was also third in the G1 Coronation Cup. Out West is kin to the GI Haskell Invitational H. and GI San Fernando S.-winning sire Wavering Monarch (Majestic Light). Always a Dream’s yearling colt by Awtaad (Ire) is due to sell at next month’s Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 2.

Racing NSW Implements End-Of-Life Welfare Program For Thoroughbreds

Racing NSW, the regulating body for Thoroughbred racing in New South Wales, has introduced a new program to ensure that every NSW Thoroughbred in the state has access to humane euthanasia. Created to additionally protect racehorses from being sent to slaughterhouses, the program will pay for the horse's euthanasia, should it be determined that course of action is in the horse's best interest.

Funded by a fee assessed when a Thoroughbred is registered, euthanasia under the program is only permitted when a Racing NSW licensed veterinarian has certified that euthanasia is necessary because of welfare or safety concerns. In addition to euthanasia, Racing NSW will cover the cost of cremation or burial of the horse. Euthanasia and cremation or burial of a horse can be expensive, and possibly deter owners from acting in the horse's best interest.

Specifically designed for any Thoroughbred that has lived predominantly in NSW, the program does not have an age cap for horses it assists. This means that horses that have been retired from racing and are now involved in second careers are also able to be assisted by this program.

This program was created to further strengthen Racing NSW's commitment to the welfare of racehorses throughout their lives. The regulatory body puts aside more than $26 million a year to assist with Thoroughbred welfare programs.

The organization has established a direct retraining and rehoming program for Thoroughbreds, has made it an offense to send a Thoroughbred to a slaughterhouse, has two full-time veterinarians on staff and has multiple other programs and efforts in place to assist Thoroughbreds throughout every life stage.
