Breizh Sky (Fr) | Horse Racing Free Tips

Things may not have clicked for 'TDN Rising Star' Tenebrism (Caravaggio) so far this season, but there is plenty of road left and Sunday's G1 Haras d'Etreham Prix Jean Prat at Deauville represents an opportunity for a clean slate over a seven-furlong trip that could prove her optimum. So impressive in the G1 Cheveley Park S. at Newmarket in September, the daughter of Immortal Verse (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}) who had one of her finest hours here in the G1 Prix Jacques le Marois put a disappointing effort in the 1000 Guineas firmly behind her when fourth in the G1 Coronation S. at Royal Ascot last time June 17. “We had the option of the Falmouth S., but I think this race over seven furlongs is a good spot for her,” Ryan Moore said. “She clearly saw the mile out very well in the Coronation, but she has plenty of pace and I can see stepping down in trip really suiting her.”

Classic Convergence

Unusually, the winners of the G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains and Pouliches meet here, having failed in their respective attempts following their May 15 ParisLongchamp Classic victories. In retrospect, the Poulains hero Modern Games (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) had an impossible task trying to ward off Vadeni (Fr) (Churchill {Ire}) from stall 13 in the G1 Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly June 5 and he was arguably ridden too aggressively to overcome that compromising draw.

“He's very genuine and he's got a lot of natural pace,” Charlie Appleby said. “Hopefully it will be quick ground, which you can never be certain of in Deauville, but he's showing all the signs he was before the Guineas.” Best in the Pouliches, Mangoustine (Fr) (Dark Angel {Ire}) was only ninth in the Coronation but this seven could be more her metier and she looked strong over it when beating the subsequent G2 German 1000 Guineas winner Txope (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) in the G3 Prix Miesque at Chantilly in October.

New Opportunity

Sheila and John Lavery's 'TDN Rising Star' New Energy (Ire) (New Bay {GB}) has looked a cast-iron seven-furlong performer in two efforts at the top level over a mile, with his second in the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas May 21 and eighth in the June 14 G1 St James's Palace S. marked by moments of genuine threat. “I'm hoping it is not too close to Ascot, we've just been keeping him ticking over at home, so until we run him we won't know, but he's a very good traveller,” Sheila Lavery said. “I think seven will suit, he has such a high cruising speed. Ascot was a muddling race and I'm not overly sure whether he stayed the stiff mile.”

Also at Deauville, the Listed Prix Roland de Chambure over the same seven-furlong trip of the Jean Prat sees the 'TDN Rising Star' Breizh Sky (Fr) (Pedro The Great) bid to back up his eight-length debut success over six at Saint-Cloud May 17 racing in the Alain Jathiere silks for the first time.

Haras de la Haie Neuve's deceased sire Pedro the Great was the unlikely source of a new TDN Rising Star on Tuesday after his son Breizh Sky (Fr) registered an eight-length win at Saint-Cloud. Sadly lost to the breeding world at just nine, the G1 Phoenix S.-winning sire had begun to excel from small numbers before his untimely demise and it could be that this year's crop serves as a statement of what might have been. Sent off at 15-2 for the six-furlong Prix Hunyade for unraced 2-year-old colts and geldings, Breizh Sky who races for Louis Baudron and his trainers Alessandro and Giuseppe Botti was quickly at the head of affairs with Simon Planque unable to contain his enthusiasm. Helped by the turning track, the bay who was unsold at €14,000 at the last year's Arqana Deauville v2 Yearling Sale settled before the home straight and opened up from there to register a penultimate split of 11.31 and inflict the heavy defeat on Purple Rain (Fr) (Harry Angel {Ire}), with Clifton Down (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) two lengths further away in third.

As his name suggests, Breizh Sky descends from Danse Bretonne (Fr) (Exit To Nowhere) who was a half-sister to the dual group 3-winning sire Kaldounevees (Fr) (Kaldoun {Fr}) who was also runner-up in the GI Man o' War S. and G1 Bayerisches Zuchtrennen. Her staying daughter Varevees (GB) (Kahyasi {Ire}) was successful in the G3 Prix Gladiateur and second in the G1 Prix du Cadran, while she is also the second dam of the Listed Prix Maurice Caillault winner Speedo Boy (Fr) (Vision d'Etat {Fr}), Saturday's German listed scorer Toskana Belle (Fr) (Shamalgan {Fr}) and the dual listed-placed Frohsim (Fr) (Dabirsim {Fr}).
