French ‘TDN Rising Star’ Bound For Maher and Eustace Barn In Oz

Listed winner, Group 2-placed and 'TDN Rising Star' Lassaut (Fr) (Almanzor {Fr}) has been acquired privately by a syndicate led by Ozzie Kheir, and has entered quarantine prior to joining the Ciaron Maher/David Eustace barn Down Under.

“He will arrive here later this month,” Kheir told Racing.com. “He will not be targeted for the Autumn Carnivals at all, he will be aimed for the spring.”

Bred by Haras d'Etreham–which stands his sire who shuttles to New Zealand's Cambridge Stud–and Riviera Equine, SRL, Lassaut raced in their colours for trainer Jean-Claude Rouget. Named a 'Rising Star' at second asking in a Chantilly Polytrack maiden in March of 2022, the colt took an April conditions event at ParisLongchamp, but was only fifth in Modern Games (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire})'s G1 French 2000 Guineas a month later. Lassaut claimed the Listed Prix Nureyev at Deauville in August two starts later and was a close second in the G2 Prix Niel on Sept. 11, before running unplaced in the G2 Prix Dollar on Arc weekend.

Rajapour followed up an Aug. 6 debut success at this venue with a Sept. 10 conditions win over this distance at Chantilly last time and made a smooth transition into stakes company with a career high in this black-type bow. Restrained to race off the tempo in third through halfway, he made smooth headway rounding the home turn to loom large on the bridle at the top of the straight and was not for catching once easing ahead with 300 metres remaining, hitting the line with plenty in hand.

Rajapour is the fourth of six foals and one of three scorers from as many runners produced by G2 Debutante S. victrix Raydara (Ire) (Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}), herself a half-sister to Listed Grand Prix de Fontainebleau placegetter Rondonia (Ire) (Raven's Pass). The February-foaled homebred chestnut is a half-brother to G3 Derrinstown Stud Fillies S. third Ridenza (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire), a yearling colt by Sea The Stars (Ire) and a weanling colt by Siyouni (Fr).
