Viadera’s Sister Gets Black Type At Tipperary

Sent to Wednesday's Listed Coolmore Ten Sovereigns Tipperary S. just a week after scoring on debut at Naas, Juddmonte's Sacred Bridge (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}) was able to continue the momentum and gain a first black-type success in a race marred by the fatal breakdown suffered by Ballydoyle's Amalfi Coast (Ire) (Showcasing {GB}). Sent off the even-money favourite dropping back from six furlongs to five, the Ger Lyons-trained full sister to last year's GI Matriarch S. heroine Viadera (GB) pursued the early pace and after gaining the advantage passing the furlong pole asserted to score by 1 1/4 lengths from Misty Ayr (Ire) (Kodi Bear {Ire}). Amalfi Coast was well beaten when sustaining the catastrophic injury near the line.

“We have obviously done very little with her and she actually put weight on since and was giving us all the signs she wanted to go back,” Shane Lyons said. “She did that very genuinely and Colin [Keane] loves her temperament. She'll mix and match it between five and six. She has an exciting future. This filly is smaller than Viadera, but has the same temperament and oozes class.”

The aforementioned Viadera captured the Listed Cairn Rouge S. and was runner-up in the G3 Anglesey S. for this stable prior to shipping Stateside to win the Matriarch and the GIII Noble Damsel S. The dam also produced Crossed Baton (GB) (Dansili {GB}), who took the Listed Blue Riband Trial and Listed Churchill S. and was runner-up in the G2 Grand Prix de Maisons-Laffitte, G2 Prix Eugene Adam and G3 Hampton Court S. The listed-winning second dam Quandary (Blushing Groom {Fr}) was also responsible for the Listed Lingfield Oaks Trial winner Double Crossed (GB) (Caerleon) who is best known as the dam of the four-times group 1-winning European champion Twice Over (GB) (Observatory). Quandary is also the second dam of the group 1 heroines Passage of Time (GB) (Dansili {GB}) and Timepiece (GB) (Zamindar) related to the G1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp winner All At Sea (Riverman). Sacred Shield's yearling colt is by Camacho (GB), while she also has a foal full-sister to the winner and Viadera.

Frankel’s Hurricane Lane Wins the Irish Derby

It was a Derby double for Frankel (GB) on Saturday as Godolphin's Hurricane Lane (Ire) emulated his stablemate Adayar (Ire) in The Curragh's G1 Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby. Leaving it late under William Buick, the May 13 G2 Dante S. winner and June 5 G1 Epsom Derby third stayed on powerfully from behind as Frankie Dettori cut loose on the fellow British-trained Lone Eagle (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in early straight and overwhelmed that rival in the final yards for a neck success as the 4-1 second favourite. There were seven lengths back to Wordsworth (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in third, with the 9-4 favourite High Definition (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) one of the first beaten and finishing in rear. After a stewards' inquiry into interference caused by the winner to those in behind as he made his move forward, the result was left to stand.

Oasis Dream’s Erasmo Prevails in Chantilly’s G3 Prix Paul de Moussac

Godolphin's 3-year-old colt Erasmo (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), successful at Chantilly in last term's Listed Prix Saraca and in last month's Listed Prix de Pontarme at ParisLongchamp, stepped up to better a second in the Apr. 11 G3 Prix La Force with a narrow victory in Sunday's G3 Prix Paul de Moussac Longines back at Chantilly. Settled just off the pace in fourth until taking closer order in the straight, the 14-5 second favourite launched his challenge going well passing the quarter-mile marker and was ridden out inside the final furlong to withstand the persistent threat of G2 German 2000 Guineas runner-up Best Lightning (Fr) (Sidestep {Aus}) by a short neck in snug fashion for a career high. Breizh Eagle (Fr) (Bow Creek {Ire}), who ran third in last month's G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains, was unable to land a telling blow and finished sixth.

“He is such a brave horse, he's all heart and a fighter,” said Godolphin's Lisa Jane Graffard. “He never runs a bad race and deserved that one. We will see how he comes out of the race, it is very warm and it may have taken a lot out of him. The [July 11 G1] Prix Jean Prat [at Deauville] is a possibility, but if he needs a rest then we will wait.”

Erasmo is one of three black-type winners for the stakes-placed Sant Elena (GB) (Efisio {GB}) and the February-foaled bay is kin to MG1SW sire Reckless Abandon (GB) (Exchange Rate), MGSP Listed Metropolitan S. victor Best Approach (GB) (New Approach {Ire}) and Listed Lenebane S. third Family Tree (GB) (Galileo {Ire}). He is also kin to the hitherto unraced 2-year-old filly Elena's Gift (GB) (Frankel {GB}) and the dam of G3 Sweet Solera S. victress West End Girl (GB) (Golden Horn {GB}). Sant Elena, who is out of a half-sister to G1 Racing Post Trophy scorer Crowded House (GB) (Rainbow Quest), is kin to MGISW distaffer Ticker Tape (GB) (Royal Applause {GB}) and G1 Prix Maurice de Gheest victor Brando (GB) (Pivotal {GB}).

Hampton Court Compensation For Frankel’s Mohaafeth

Denied a tilt at the G1 Epsom Derby due to the eve-of-race downpour, Shadwell's Mohaafeth (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) had luck on his side on Thursday and after the overnight thunderstorm had bypassed Ascot duly showed his wares in the G3 Hampton Court S. Anchored towards the back early by Jim Crowley, the 11-8 favourite had to come five-wide on the home bend but had the engine to get to the front passing two out as Roman Empire (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) stuck close by. Drifting away from the whip and across that Ballydoyle rival soon after, the William Haggas-trained chestnut who had stunned in the May 1 Listed Newmarket S. over this 10-furlong trip had to dig deeper this time. Making the margin 1 3/4 lengths at the line, he was allowed to keep the race after an inquiry with Roman Empire in turn a head in front of Secret Protector (War Front) who had been five lengths behind the winner in the Newmarket. “No one will ever know whether we made the right decision on Derby day, but the mile-and-a-half trip on that ground would have been tough,” Haggas said. “He wasn't exactly powering away today and maybe that's his trip or shorter. He doesn't look a stayer physically and Jim [Crowley] said coming in 'you were absolutely right not to run in the Derby', so I felt a bit better for that.”

Spared the gruelling nature of a disappointment in the Derby, Mohaafeth still boasts the profile of a colt going places and while this was his first proper test he was able to employ his acceleration to get himself out of trouble. This was not as smooth as his two prior performances at Newmarket, but the chestnut now has experience of a fight and Haggas was keen to stress it was all about the future. “He's got a nice turn of foot and on quick ground will continue to be quite dangerous,” he continued. “We are in no rush with him–he's got the chance of being a top horse and he has plenty of mileage in him. He's proven he's a good horse and now he's got to get up to group 2 and group 1 level to prove he's a very good horse. He's in the [July 3 G1] Eclipse [at Sandown], but it depends on where we get that ground. I've never made a secret of the fact that he wants it fast, as he has a daisy-cutting action. Missing the Derby was sad, as it's a huge race but I was always concerned about the trip and then when it rained it became, for me, an easier decision not to run him. I think if he's going to go one way, he'll go shorter not longer.”

“I think it probably didn't go his way today,” Haggas added. “Jim was concerned about the horse of Roger Varian's who was up the front and he was quite far behind and he said, by his own admission, he'd gone a bit early. The horse kept going, that's the main thing, and he did run across the track a bit but he's probably used up a lot of petrol getting there.”

The Normandie Stud-bred dam French Dressing (GB) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) was an unbeaten TDN Rising Star in 2015 whose two starts included the Listed Lyric S. She is one of three black-type winners out of the Listed Lupe S. winner and G2 Sun Chariot S. runner-up Foodbroker Fancy (Ire) (Halling) alongside the GIII Long Island H. winner Dalvina (GB) (Grand Lodge) and Soft Centre (GB) (Zafonic) who emulated her dam's success in the Lupe. Dalvina, who was also third in the G2 Ribblesdale S. at this meeting, went on to produce the dual listed scorer and G2 Sandown Classic runner-up Dal Harraild (GB) (Champs Elysees {GB}), while Soft Centre was responsible for the G1 Nassau S. and G3 Pinnacle S. heroine Sultanina (GB) (New Approach {Ire}) as well as Coconut Creme (GB) (Cape Cross {Ire}) who was runner-up in the re-named Lupe, the Listed Height of Fashion S. Also connected to the G3 Sandown Sprint S. and Listed Windsor Castle S. winner and G1 Nunthorpe S.-placed Extortionist (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}), French Dressing also has the unraced 2-year-old colt French Toast (GB) (Dark Angel {Ire}) and a yearling filly by Kingman (GB) named French Mistress (GB).
