Lope De Vega’s Alia’s Rose Snags TDN Rising Star Tag At Chantilly

Jaber Abullah's Alia's Rose (Fr) (Lope De Vega {Ire}–Quanzhou {Fr}, by Dubawi {Ire}) was let go as a 33-5 chance for Sunday's Prix de la Butte Blanche, a maiden for unraced fillies, at Chantilly and returned to the winner's circle with a 'TDN Rising Star' tag after producing a breathtaking display from off the pace in the seven-furlong test. Racing at the tail of the field through halfway, she made smooth headway on the bridle out wide in the straight before quickening impressively for control approaching the final furlong and powered clear in style to easily outclass Karmina Bella (Fr) (Almanzor {Fr}) by six lengths.

Alia's Rose, half-sister to a yearling filly by Wootton Bassett (GB), is the sixth of seven foals and third scorer produced by Listed Grand Prix du Nord victrix Quanzhou (Fr) (Dubawi {Ire}), herself a half-sister to G1 Prix du Cadran hero Mille Et Nille (GB) (Muhtathir {GB}) and G3 Prix de Conde third Capo Maximo (GB) (Cape Cross {Ire}). The January-foaled bay's dual stakes-placed second dam Quezon Sun (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}) is the leading performer out of the stakes-winning Quezon City (Ger) (Law Society), who ran second in both G1 Deutschland-Preis and G2 Preis der Diana (German Oaks).

The Tough Get Going At Chantilly

It's getting hotter by the hour in Europe and Sunday's pattern-race tests at Chantilly and The Curragh will call for that extra element from the protagonists who brave the heat. One who has shown abundant courage despite being just a greenhorn is Ballydoyle's Blackbeard (Ire) (No Nay Never), who tackles the six-furlong G2 Darley Prix Robert Papin which will be his sixth juvenile start and third since his impressive success in The Curragh's G3 Marble Hill S. over this trip May 21. Aidan O'Brien is not known for taking in this prize, which was formerly a 5 1/2-furlong contest staged at the now defunct Maisons-Laffitte, but he changes tack this year and also saddles The Antarctic (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), who looked in need of this trip when a narrow third in the five-furlong June 29 Listed Tipperary S. Nurlan Bizakov's Belbek (Fr) (Showcasing {GB}) heads the home defence for the Andre Fabre stable, returning to the course and distance of his defeat of the re-opposing Lova (Fr) (Goken {Fr}) in the June 19 G3 Prix du Bois.

Kildare Pearls

At The Curragh, the seven-furlong G2 Romanised Minstrel S. sees Haras De Saint Pair's Pearls Galore (Fr) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) bid for a fourth group success having extended that tally in this venue's G2 Lanwades Stud S. over a mile May 22. Ballydoyle's stalwart Order Of Australia (Ire) (Australia {GB}) is back to defend his title in this race, having shown up well for a long way when third in Royal Ascot's G1 Queen Anne S. June 14, while Peter Brant's 'TDN Rising Star' Dr Zempf (GB) (Dark Angel {Ire}) puts his reputation on the line in deeper waters than when successful in Leopardstown's G3 Ballycorus S. over this trip June 9. The card's nine-furlong G2 Kilboy Estate S. is a wide-open affair, with Lael Stables' June 5 G2 Prix de Sandringham winner Purplepay (Fr) (Zarak {Fr}) back from a mile-and-a-quarter trip that might have stretched her when fifth in the track's June 26 G1 Pretty Polly S.

Arc Bid “Not Out Of The Question” For French Oaks Runner-Up

Plans for G1 Prix de Diane runner-up La Parisienne (Fr) (Zarak {Ire}) to race in America are on hold with connections opening the door to a tilt at the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe after their star filly went down fighting behind Nashwa (GB) (Frankel {GB}) at Chantilly on Sunday.

It had been suggested that La Parisienne would be trained in America at some point in her career but part-owner Peter Bradley revealed on Monday that the filly will remain in the care of the father and son team of Carlos and Yann Lerner.

Reflecting on Sunday's race, Bradley told TDN Europe, “It was a bit gut-wrenching but, when you lose to a filly like Nashwa, you know it represented a huge step up from La Parisienne.”

He added, “It was amazing how Gérald Mosse rode her and, when he asked her to quicken, she produced a huge run. You really can't ask much more than for horse and rider to do their best and that they did.”

Bradley thinks La Parisienne possesses a lot of the key attributes needed to excel in America but admitted that the lure of some of the top races in France, including the Arc, is enough for connections to leave the star filly in training there.

Kentucky-based Bradley said, “Most of the time when I buy a horse, the plan is for them to come to America in the relatively near future and, judging by her first race, after which we bought her, she certainly looked like she had the turn of foot you love to see in American turf racing.

“In America, you absolutely need a turn of foot because of our short straights, but in Europe, the straights are much bigger and a horse who grinds it out can get there.”

He added, “She looks like she would be a good fit for America and the GI Belmont Oaks Invitational S. would have been a good race for her but the timeframe rules that out because there is only three weeks until that race.

“Coming into the French Oaks, the way she had been training, I really felt that she'd finish top six or seven and, with the talent in the race, said that, if she ran a top three finish, I'd be exceedingly happy. Given the way she ran, finishing a short neck behind one of the best fillies in Europe, she stamped herself as a filly who needs to stay in France.”

La Parisienne will be aimed at the Prix Vermeille at ParisLongchamp next with Bradley revealing that her trainers believe the best is yet to come from the filly.

He said, “We will give her an easy summer and maybe look at the Prix Vermeille then we'll see what October holds. We'll look at the Prix de l'Opéra and the Arc wouldn't be out of the question.

“Team Lerner think she will be better with cut in the ground. They all think that soft ground is what she needs and, if that is the call, the autumn could be exciting.”

Tamayuz Colt In Command At Chantilly

Having witnessed their filly Rosacea (Ire) (Soldier Hollow {GB}) overcoming a horror draw to be third in the G1 Prix de Diane, Haras de la Perelle and Stephane Wattel's Sunday at Chantilly got even better as Simca Mille (Ire) (Tamayuz {GB}) recorded an authoritative success in the G3 Prix du Lys Longines. Off the mark at the fifth attempt in a 9 1/2-furlong handicap on the Polytrack here Apr. 20, the chestnut had bounded to a straightforward win over another two furlongs at Angers at the end of last month and was awarded due respect as the 3-1 second favourite for this Grand Prix de Paris prep. Allowed ample breathing room on the front end from the outset under Theo Bachelot, the homebred was in complete control in early straight and settled the outcome with a 11.32 split from the two to the one. Maintaining to the line, he had 3 1/2 lengths to spare over Virtual Rock (Ire) (Fascinating Rock {Ire}), with the 17-10 favourite Martel (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) a neck behind in third having been asked too big a question.

“This horse has a unique blend of speed and stamina,” Wattel said. “He had won easily in the provinces, but it was hard to imagine that he could be as impressive as he has been in that race. He has improved and, while he is not in the [July 14 G1] Grand Prix de Paris, in the light of this performance it would be the logical next step so we will most definitely consider supplementing.”

Simca Mille is the first foal out of Swertia (GB) (Pivotal {GB}), a daughter of The Aga Khan's Sanjida (Ire) (Polish Precedent) who was black-type-placed on six occasions including when third in the G3 Prix Penelope and G3 Prix Cleopatre. She is in turn kin to three black-type winners headed by Sarafina (Fr) (Refuse To Bend {Ire}), who captured this card's feature Prix de Diane in 2010 having won the G1 Prix Saint-Alary and was later crowned European champion 3-year-old filly. She went on to produce the G3 Prix d'Aumale scorer Savarin (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) and her G3 Prix Messidor-winning full-brother Geniale (Jpn). Sarafina's half-sister Sanaya (Ire) (Barathea {Ire}) was second in the Saint-Alary, while this is also the family of Sumayr (Ire) (Ela-Mana-Mou {Ire}) who captured the Grand Prix de Paris in its old guise as a 15-furlong contest in 1985. Swertia has the unraced 2-year-old filly Sadia (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) and a yearling filly by Invincible Spirit (Ire).
