Kingman’s Feed The Flame Powers To Rising Stardom In France

ParisLongchamp opened its doors to 2023 and immediately played host to a 'TDN Rising Star' performance when Pascal Bary trainee Feed The Flame (GB) (Kingman {GB}–Knyazhna {Ire}, by Montjeu {Ire}) unleashed a power-packed display to garner Sunday's Prix de Juigne, a 10 1/2-furlong contest for unraced 3-year-old colts and geldings. The eventual winner bided his time and was positioned sixth of the seven runners through the early stages. Sent forward along the false straight to turn for home in third, the 31-10 chance joined the front rank hard on the steel at the quarter-mile marker and powered clear in impressive fashion once shaken up with 300 metres remaining to easily outclass Cocktail Prince (GB) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}) by 5 1/2 lengths. Kingman's updated catalogue of 30 Rising Stars also includes the multiple elite-level winners Persian King (Ire) and Palace Pier (GB).

“He had worked well as a 2-year-old, but was unable to run because of some minor problems, which is often the case with immature horses,” explained trainer Pascal Bary. He came around really well lately and I think he will be a very good horse one day.”

Feed The Flame is the sixth of seven foals and fourth scorer out of an unraced half-sister to dual Group 2-placed sire Migwar (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}). The April-foaled bay's second dam Katyusha (Kingmambo), herself a daughter of Listed Rose Bowl S. victrix Crystal Crossing (Ire) (Royal Academy), is an unraced full-sister to G1 St Leger-winning sire Rule Of Law. Feed The Flame's siblings include MGSW G3 Prix Thomas Bryon victor Sacred Life (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}), MGSP G2 Prix Hocquart third Khagan (Ire) (Le Havre {Ire}) and the unraced 2-year-old colt Gulf Legend (Fr) (Dubawi {Ire}).

Arqana Offer Five Juveniles To Recoup €2 Million Debt Left By Al Homaizi

Five two-year-olds worth almost €2 million will be re-offered by Arqana next month as another sales house bids to recoup the losses incurred by the Derby-winning owner Saleh Al Homaizi who racked up over €20 million of unpaid debt at the yearling sales last autumn.

As revealed by TDN Europe back in January, Tattersalls were the first sales company to re-offer the 17 juveniles who were knocked down to bloodstock agent Richard Knight for 11,055,000gns at the October Yearling Sale last year.

A Frankel (GB) colt out of Bold Lass (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) headed that unpaid bill at 2,000,000gns. However, the majority of the youngsters that Al Homaizi failed to pay for found new owners, with Godolphin stepping in to purchase the Frankel colt among others.

Arqana will stage a private sale for the five two-year-olds that Al Homaizi defaulted payment on from the August Sale. It takes place on Wednesday, April 12, and the horses are all being trained in Chantilly, with three in the care of Francis-Henri Graffard and two with Mikel Delzangles.

A €750,000 Wootton Bassett (GB) filly out of Ambivalence (Ire), a Siyouni (Fr) filly out of Fig Roll (GB) and a Night Of Thunder (Ire) filly out of Nymeria (Ger) are based with Graffard and can be viewed by appointment.

Delzangles is overseeing the training of an Adlerflug (Ger) filly out of Sylvestra (Ire) and a Night Of Thunder colt out of Awe Struck (GB). They can also be viewed by appointment.

Arqana are following the same course of action taken by Tattersalls and Keeneland in re-offering the stock bought by Knight on behalf of Al Homaizi, who part-owned 2007 Derby winner Authorized.

The six horses bought at last year's Keeneland September Yearling Sale for nearly $5 million were re-offered in late February and were all found new homes.

The horses will be sold by Arqana without a reserve but offers must be higher than the amount of the price indicated on the online platform for each lot.
