Flintshire Relocates To France

Flintshire (GB) (Dansili {GB}), the globetrotting five-time Group 1 winner, has relocated to Haras de Montaigu in France for 2022 after standing five seasons at Hill 'n' Dale Farms in Kentucky. He will stand for €6,500.

Racing as a homebred for Juddmonte Farms, Flintshire spent the bulk of his racing career in France with Andre Fabre, for whom he won the G1 Grand Prix de Paris, G1 Hong Kong Vase and GI Sword Dancer S., while also picking up placings in the G1 Coronation Cup (twice), G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (twice), GI Breeders' Cup Turf, G1 Dubai Sheema Classic, G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud and another edition of the Hong Kong Vase. Transferring to trainer Chad Brown for a 6-year-old campaign, Flintshire won the GI Manhattan S. and another renewal of the Sword Dancer and was second in the GI Joe Hirsch Turf Classic S. and another Breeders' Cup Turf.

Out of the multiple group-winning and Classic-placed Sadler's Wells mare Dance Routine (GB), Flintshire is the highest-earning colt ever bred by Juddmonte with over $9.5-million in earnings. His first crop are three this year, and his best runner to date has come in France, the G3 Prix Noailles victor Cheshire Academy. He is also the sire of the New York listed winner and multiple graded placed Runaway Rumour. Montaigu, through Michel Zerolo of Oceanic Bloodstock, have purchased 50% of Flintshire, with the Flintshire Syndicate retaining the other half.

Sea the Stars Filly A Second Rising Star At Saint-Cloud

Following on where the colt Tumbler (Fr) (Kingman {GB}) had left off at Saint-Cloud on Thursday, Godolphin's filly Life in Motion (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) earned TDN Rising Star status in the Prix Tenebreuse also for newcomers over seven furlongs. Settled in fourth early on the testing ground by Mickael Barzalona, the daughter of the G1 Prix Saint-Alary Wavering (Ire) (Refuse To Bend {Ire}) arrived on the front end full of running with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining. Pushed out from there, the Andre Fabre-trained 7-10 favourite was able to secure a facile five-length success from Indian Wish (Fr) (The Grey Gatsby {Ire}), with Roselyne (Fr) (Dariyan {Fr}) a further three lengths away in third as they finished strung out.

“She is still very immature, but goes to great lengths to do things right and I really liked her way of doing things,” said winning rider Mickael Barzalona. “We could have won more easily, but she was on and off the bit in behind the leading horses. I allowed her to relax and let her come back to me in her own time. Once we quickened to the front, I didn't look back to see how far she won by and she still had plenty in reserve at the line.”

The dam has also produced the G3 Prix de Flore runner-up Switching (Street Cry {Ire}) and her G3 Prix Chloe-placed full-sister Flowrider, who was fourth in the Saint-Alary. The second dam Summertime Legacy (GB) (Darshaan {GB}) took the G3 Prix des Reservoirs and was third in the Saint-Alary herself before also producing the former TDN Rising Star and G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud winner Mandaean (GB) (Manduro {Ger}). Her daughter Winters Moon (Ire) (New Approach {Ire}) was third in the G1 Fillies Mile before providing these connections with the G1 Prix Morny and G1 Middle Park S. hero Earthlight (Ire) (Shamardal), while another of Wavering's half-sisters Lavender and Lace (GB) (Barathea {Ire} is responsible for the G2 Superlative S. third Maxi Boy (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}). Life In Motion, who becomes the 12th TDN Rising Star for his sire, is followed by a yearling son of Shamardal.
