Classic Winner Cachet Eyeing Sceptre Return At Doncaster

Classic winner Cachet (Ire) (Aclaim {Ire}) is approaching her long-awaited return and is targeting the G3 Sceptre S. at Doncaster during the St Leger meeting next week, trainer George Boughey revealed.

Boughey told SBK, “I'm very happy with her. She's in as good a form as I could have her considering the lay-off she's had. She's been away to Chelmsford, and we worked her at Kempton on Thursday morning. She's worked in between on fast ground at home in Newmarket. Fast ground is really key to her. The surfaces on the all-weather are very deep at the moment due to the heat. Her work is good away from home but it's even better on the grass.”

Placed in the G2 Rockfel S. and G1 Fillies' Mile and fourth in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf as a juvenile, the Highclere Thoroughbred Racing runner won the G3 Nell Gwyn S. upon resuming as a 3-year-old. The 'TDN Rising Star' then ran out a narrow winner of the G1 1000 Guineas and as second in the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches in May of 2022. Last seen running fifth in Royal Ascot's G1 Coronation S. that June, she has been on the sidelines since. Boughey is considering either the G1 Sun Chariot S. at Newmarket on Oct. 7, or the G1 Prix de la Foret at ParisLongchamp on Oct. 1 after her Sceptre start, with a return to the Breeders' Cup also a possibility.

“If we get a warm autumn and the Sun Chariot S. comes up good or better, then that would be my preference over the Forêt,” he added. “She's proven how good she is at Newmarket's Rowley Mile. The Breeders' Cup has always been in the back of our minds at the end of the year too, but there are a few bridges to cross before we get there.”

Son Of Aclaim A New TDN Rising Star

There must be something in the air at Haydock this month as Opulence Thoroughbreds and Teme Valley's newcomer Purosangue (GB) (Aclaim {Ire}–Avon Breeze {GB}, by Avonbridge {GB}) became the second TDN Rising Star on Thursday's evening fixture and the third in the last three meetings at the Merseyside venue. Unleashed by Andrew Balding having brought enough attention at April's Goffs UK Breeze-Up Sale to fetch £125,000, the 5-1 shot proved a handful for Ray Dawson going to post and in the early stages before establishing a lead before halfway in the five-furlong British Stallion Studs EBF Novice S.

When Dawson got serious a furlong out, the relative of the Listed Rose Bowl S. winner Saigon (GB) (Royal Applause {GB}) showed his true mettle to surge to a four-length success from the Karl Burke-trained Instant Recall (GB) (Showcasing {GB}), with half a length back to All Is Fair (Ire) (Soldier's Call {GB}) from the David Loughnane stable. “It's a shame that Royal Ascot is next week,” Dawson said of Aclaim's second TDN Rising Star, after Cachet (Ire) who achieved fame as last year's G1 1000 Guineas heroine.

Pedigree Notes
The dam Avon Breeze may not have made it to black-type level, but she won 10 of her 52 starts in the North of England from five to six furlongs and achieved an official rating of 92. Purosangue is only her second runner, while her yearling colt by Eqtidaar (Ire) was sold for 22,000gns to Hegarty Bloodstock at the Tatts December Foal Sale. The family's most notable performers under the first three dams are the aforementioned Saigon, who was also runner-up in the G3 Horris Hill S. and third in the G2 Mill Reef S., and Tabaret (GB) (Bertolini) who took the Listed Roses S. and was third in the Listed Windsor Castle S.

Aclaim’s Royal Aclaim Books Nunthorpe Ticket

Coming into Saturday's Listed John Smith's City Walls S. at York with just two starts under her belt, Sheikh Juma Dalmook Al Maktoum's Royal Aclaim (Ire) (Aclaim {Ire}) belied inexperience to put older rivals to the sword under Andrea Atzeni. Last seen winning a Bath novice over this five-furlong trip June 11, the James Tate-trained 3-year-old who had Perfect Power (Ire) (Ardad {Ire}) back in third on her sole juvenile start at Newcastle last May enjoyed an ideal lead from last year's G1 Nunthorpe S. heroine Winter Power (Ire) (Bungle Inthejungle {GB}). Let loose two out, the 11-4 joint-favourite drew away to score by two lengths from the respected sprinter Mondammej (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}). “The Nunthorpe is the only race on my mind,” Tate said. “We've no idea how good she is, but I'm looking forward out finding out.”

 

“We spend all our lives looking for something a bit special and I knew I had it after she won at Newcastle last year, beating Perfect Power. She did a piece of work getting ready for the Queen Mary and I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought, 'oh my god. This is it'. Unfortunately she had a setback and she couldn't reappear until this year, but she's been worth waiting for. I think this is the fastest horse I've ever trained. She'd only been to little meetings, she had to walk across the course, she had to see all these people cheering, she's taken it all in her stride. She's just done it so well.”

Royal Aclaim is out of the G3 Ballyogan S.-placed Knock Stars (Ire) (Soviet Star), a relative of the Listed Salsabil S. winner and multiple group-placed Indiana Gal (Ire) (Intikhab) who is in turn the dam of the G1 Asahi Hai Futurity S.-winning Japanese champion juvenile Danon Premium (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}). Knock Stars also has the unraced 2-year-old colt Pop Star (Ire) (Sioux Nation), a 215,000gns Book 2 purchase by M V Magnier who now resides at Ballydoyle, and a yearling colt by the same sire.
