Beaute Cachee Delivers For Chad Brown In Jenny Wiley Upset

Trainer Chad Brown had four starters in Saturday's GI Jenny Wiley S. at Keeneland and of the four, including stablemates Gina Romantica (Into Mischief) and Surge Capacity (Flintshire {GB}), it was his longest shot that delivered Brown his seventh win in the race with 25-1 Beaute Cachee (Fr) taking the field gate to wire for the upset.

Bred in France by Gregor Vischer, Beaute Cachee spent all of 2021 and 2022 overseas before joining Brown in New York in May of last year. The narrowest of winners in her American debut at Belmont, she posted solid results at nearly every track in the area, winning the Violet S. at Monmouth and hitting the board at Saratoga and at Belmont's Aqueduct meet last October before shipping west to try her luck in the GI Matriarch S. Dec. 3. A respectable third in that last start, notably behind a pair of rivals she faced Saturday, Beaute Cachee looked to turn the tables on Matriarch winner and Surge Capacity. Drawn widest of the field in gate 10, the 25-1 longshot, in the expert hands of Frankie Dettori, utilized a good break to work her way over, leading the field just two wide past the wire for the first time. Godolphin runner English Rose chose to take back and settled just off the early pace as Beaute Cachee was now alone up front through fractions of :24.18 and :48.65. Chased by GII Pegasus World Cup Filly and Mare Turf Invitational winner Didia (Arg) around the turn, the leader got first jump and never looked to be in trouble, striding out under Dettori even as English Rose got by Didia late for a closing second.

“She didn't surprise me that she was able to win; she surprised me that she went wire to wire,” admitted Brown. “Leaving the Paddock, Frankie [Dettori] said, 'You know, I plan on being very forward in here.' I thought about it for a minute, and then I thought, 'I'm not going to tell him what to do.' It's such an important win to share; I've never won a Grade I with Frankie, so obviously anything can happen with those magic hands of his. I want to thank the [owners] who weren't able to be here today: Sol Kumin [of Madaket Stables] and his partners, Michael Dubb and Louis Lazzinnaro. They couldn't make it, but it's a huge win for them. This is our seventh Jenny Wiley, and like I said after [winning] the [Toyota] Blue Grass, many, many of the same team members were with us for the first one. The horses may change, but the people working and making it happen haven't, so it's really their win. They did all the work.”

 

Pedigree Note:

One of seven stakes winner and the second graded-stakes winner for G1SW Literato, who notably was also ridden by Frankie Dettori, Beaute Cachee was just a €1,500 purchase at the 2020 Arqana Autumn Flat-Bred Yearling Sale by owner and trainer Gael Barbedette who raced her until she was sold to her current connections upon her move to the United States. She is the third foal out of an unraced dam who has produced one other winner from three to make the races. This is the extended family of MG1SW Indian Ink (Ire) (Indian Ridge {Ire}), GSW Feel Like Dancing (GB) (Galileo {Ire}). Sign And Seal (Ire) has produced just one foal since Beaute Cachee, reporting a Zanzibari colt in 2021 who went through the Arqana November Yearling Sale in 2022 for €15,000 to Pegasus Bloodstock but has yet to race.

Technical Analysis Takes Athenia In Likely Career Finale

In a race packed with quality fillies and mares, Technical Analysis (m, 5, Kingman {GB}–Sealife {Ire}, by Sea The Stars {Ire}) posted a frontrunning score in the Athenia S. ahead of two of her stablemates.

A known face in the Grade I circuits, the 8-5 favorite had last been seen finishing fifth in the GII Mohegan Sun Ballston Spa S. at Saratoga, but beaten barely two lengths in a blanket finish. She'd started her 2023 season with a runner-up effort in the Perfect Sting S. at Belmont over the summer and won the De La Rose S. two back.

Right to the front after the jump here, she showed the way in hand as :23.89, :49.74, and 1:14.26 sailed by on the clock. Called on as she swung into the lane, Beaute Cachee (Fr) (Literato {Fr}) was making a move for the front on the rail, but Jose Ortiz held his lane firm as quarters got tight for that eventual runner-up. Game as they come, she caught a second wind and held off the field by 1 1/4 lengths as Fluffy Socks (Slumber {GB}) closed well from the back to close the trifecta. Technical Analysis's career-closing victory was Jose's fourth on the card.

 

“It's nice to see her go out a winner. I'm so proud of her career,” said Chad Brown. “She's been such a durable horse since the day we bought her as a yearling until now. She's a very dependable horse, the type that any trainer really wants in the barn. I'll miss her.”

Technical Analysis is the flag bearer for dam Sealife, who has yet to produce another runner to make it to the races. She produced a yearling colt by Too Darn Hot (GB) as well as a 2023 filly by Kingman (GB), but has no cover for 2024 on record. Hailing from the family of several Group 1 winners like Australian champion stayer G1SW Rekindling (GB) (High Chaparral {Ire}), Technical Analysis is catalogued to go through the 2023 Keeneland November Sale in Book One as HIP 145.
