										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gifted an ideal lead in Sunday's G3 Prix de Fontainebleau, Aurelien Lemaitre took full advantage to steer Nurlan Bizakov's <strong>Ramadan (Fr)</strong> (Le Havre {Ire}&#8211;Raushan {Ire}, by Dalakhani {Ire}) to success in the key G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains trial. Race-fit having registered a five-length success in the Listed Prix Omnium II at Saint-Cloud last month, the Christopher Head-trained homebred who had been fourth in the G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud last term ticked off honest fractions on the front end before kicking in early straight.</p>
<p>Getting the jump on the returning <strong>TDN Rising Star Beauvatier (Fr)</strong> (Lope De Vega {Ire}) there, the 6-4 favourite had extra to give as that chief market rival paid late for having to accelerate harder to close. At the line, Ramadan had 3/4 of a length to spare over him, with the same margin back to the re-opposing Omnium runner-up <strong>Grey Man (Fr)</strong> (<a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/ireland/stallions/wootton-bassett" class="horse-link">Wootton Bassett</a> {GB}), who narrowed the gap between him and the winner. The sectionals were faster at every step than the Grotte, suggesting that the winner made it a relative test by French trial standards.</p>
<p>&#8220;The better the ground, the better the horse, I would say,&#8221; Bizakov said. &#8220;It is emotional for me, because he is by Le Havre, who is no longer with us and I bought the mare from Lady O'Reilly, who is no longer with us. For sure he deserves to be in the Poulains and we'll go there with an open mind. He'll stay the Jockey Club distance too.&#8221;</p>
<p>Before taking part in the 10-furlong Criterium de Saint-Cloud, Ramadan had beaten the same owner's Narkez (Fr) (<a href="https://www.agakhanstuds.com/siyouni" class="horse-link">Siyouni</a> {Fr}) at Chantilly in September and that Andre Fabre trainee has subsequently gained a TDN Rising Star tag and heads to Newmarket for Wednesday's nine-furlong Listed Feilden S. Bizakov was not ruling out the prospect of running both in the Poulains. &#8220;They are with different trainers, so I might end up with two horses running,&#8221; he added. &#8220;We'll see what happens on Wednesday and make a plan.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trainer Yann Barberot was happy with the effort of the G3 Prix la Rochette winner Beauvatier and said, &#8220;It was an excellent performance for his first time over a mile on very soft ground. The winner had the benefit of a previous run and was not for catching after leading.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>Pedigree Notes</em><br />
Ramadan's dam Raushan, a 400,000gns Tatts Book 1 purchase who stayed a mile and a half, gave an instant return on that pay-out by producing as her first foal the Listed Fleur de Lys S. winner and G3 Hoppings S. runner-up Rasima (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}). Out of Lady O'Reilly's smart Chiang Mai (Ire) (Sadler's Wells), who captured the Blandford S. when it was staged as a group 3 and was runner-up in the G2 Prix Jean de Chaudenay, she is a full-sister to the triple group-winning Chinese White (Ire). Her career highlights included success in the G1 Pretty Polly S. and the Blandford in its current guise as a group 2 event, before producing the G3 Supreme S. runner-up Misty Grey (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}).<br />
The third dam is the renowned Eljazzi (Artaius), responsible for the G1 Prix de Diane heroine Rafha (GB)<br />
(Kris {GB}) who in turn achieved notoriety as the dam of the G1 Haydock Sprint Cup hero and significant sire Invicible Spirit (Ire) and his G3 Princess Royal S.-winning half-sister Acts Of Grace (Bahri) who in turn threw Make Believe's triple top-level scorer Mishriff (Ire). Rafha's Listed Empress S.-winning daughter Massarra (GB) (Danehill) also proved herself an excellent producer with six black-type winners including Galileo's G2 Superlative S.-winning sire Gustav Klimt (Ire). Raushan's 2-year-old filly is by Showcasing (GB).</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The entries for the first two Classics of the season have been released, with 49 horses entered in each of the Qipco 2,000 Guineas and Qipco 1,000 Guineas.</p>
<p>The colts will line up at Newmarket on Saturday, May 4 when it is likely that much of the attention will focus on the unbeaten <b>City Of Troy </b>(<a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/america/stallions/justify" class="horse-link">Justify</a>), who at this stage is the ante-post favourite for the 2,000 Guineas. Trained by Aidan O'Brien, he has left Ireland for two of his three starts to win the G2 Superlative S. at Newmarket's July Course followed by the G1 Dewhurst S. on the Rowley Mile.</p>
<p>City Of Troy's stable-mate <b>Henry Longfellow (Ire) </b>(Dubawi {Ire}), a son of the 1,000 Guineas winner Minding (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), is currently second-favourite and is one of eight entries in the race for the Ballydoyle stable. The other two Irish-trained entries are the G1 Keeneland Phoenix S. winner <b>Bucanero Fuerte (GB) </b>(<a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/ireland/stallions/wootton-bassett" class="horse-link">Wootton Bassett</a> {GB}), trained by Adrian Murray, and Jim Bolger's unraced <b>Clean Energy (Ire)</b> (<a href="https://www.thoroughbreddailynews.com/stallions-top-runners/?sire=Dawn+Approach+%28Ire%29#tot" class="horse-link">Dawn Approach</a> {Ire}).</p>
<p>The G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere winner <b>Rosallion (Ire)</b> could become an important first Classic runner for his sire Blue Point (Ire) and represents Richard Hannon Jr., who won the race 10 years ago with Night Of Thunder (Ire) and also has <b>Son (GB)</b> entered this year. He too is by a second-season sire in Too Darn Hot (GB). In that same category is <b>Sons And Lovers (GB)</b>, by Study Of Man (Ire), who is one of four entries for Jane Chapple-Hyam, two of which are owned by former trainer Peter Harris.</p>
<p>Charlie Appleby has three colts entered led by the G1 Kameko Futurity Trophy winner <b>Ancient Wisdom (Fr)</b> (Dubawi {Ire}) and Saaeed Bin Suroor, who won last year's 1,000 Guineas with Mawj (GB) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}), has one of the Godophin quartet, <b>Olympic Candle (Ire)</b> (Profitable {Ire}).</p>
<p>Eve Johnson Houghton has entered <b>Mister Sketch (GB)</b> (Territories {Ire}) for Wathnan Racing and the G3 Acomb S. winner <b>Indian Run (Ire)</b> (<a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/ireland/stallions/sioux-nation" class="horse-link">Sioux Nation</a>) for the Bronte Collection, while David Menuisier has three colts entered including the G1 Criterium International winner <b>Sunway (Fr)</b> (Galiway {GB}).</p>
<p>Aidan O'Brien is also the trainer of the favourite for the following day's 1,000 Guineas, <b>Opera Singer</b>. Like City Of Troy, she is by Coolmore's American-based sire and Triple Crown winner <a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/america/stallions/justify" class="horse-link">Justify</a>, and she won last season's G1 Prix Marcel Boussac.<span> </span></p>
<p>Opera Singer is one of 16 Irish-trained fillies engaged in the race, including eight from her own stable, while Paddy Twomey could have two runners, <b>Purple Lily (Ire) </b>(<a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/ireland/stallions/calyx" class="horse-link">Calyx</a> {Ire}) and <b>One Look (Ire) </b>(<a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/ireland/stallions/gleneagles" class="horse-link">Gleneagles</a> {Ire}), and Natalia Lupini has her first Classic entrant in <b>Kitty Rose (Ire) </b>(Invincible Army {Ire}).<span> </span></p>
<p>Ollie Sangster is another young trainer with a frost Classic hope in <b>Shuwari (Ire) </b>(New Bay {GB}), along with Amy Murphy, the trainer of <b>Needlepoint (Ire) </b>(Blue Point {Ire}).</p>
<p>The G1 Moyglare Stud S. winner <b>Fallen Angel (GB)</b> is currently the leading British-trained hope and is one of two entries for her trainer Karl Burke along with <b>Darnation (Ire)</b>. Both fillies are by Too Darn Hot. Fallen Angel represents Steve Parkin's Clipper Logistics, which also has the William Haggas-trained <b>Love Dynasty (Fr)</b> (Dubawi {Ire}) engaged in the 1,000 Guineas.</p>
<p>Among the four fillies entered from the John and Thady Gosden stable is Cheveley Park Stud's Listed winner <b>Regal Jubilee (GB)</b> (<a href="https://bit.ly/2KNga16" class="horse-link">Frankel</a> {GB}).</p>
<p>Christopher Head is the sole French trainer with an entry and she is another daughter of <a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/america/stallions/justify" class="horse-link">Justify</a>, <b>Ramatuelle</b>, who was only narrowly beaten by Vandeek (GB) in the G1 Prix Morny.<span> </span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Christopher Head won his first Classic last season with Blue Rose Cen (Ire) (Churchill {Ire}) and he is now eyeing a possible run un the Qipco 1,000 Guineas for Ramatuelle (<a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/america/stallions/justify" class="horse-link">Justify</a>), who was the top-rated juvenile in France in 2023.</p>
<p>The winner of the G2 Prix Robert Papin, and runner-up in the G1 Prix Morny, Ramatuelle is also entered for the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and she will begin her preparations for the Classics in Deauville on April 9.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ramatuelle has been a tremendous filly for us as a two-year-old and we are now preparing her for pretty much the mile programme in France, but not only in France, in the UK too,&#8221; said Head.</p>
<p>&#8220;We're looking all over Europe to make the best programme for her as a three-year-old. [Newmarket] is of course a possibility, but at the end of the day her owner will decide where she will run.</p>
<p>&#8220;She's going to go to the Prix Imprudence and then from there we will see where we go. To be a successful miler is the main objective this year.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think Ramatuelle is a really nice filly and <a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/america/stallions/justify" class="horse-link">Justify</a> has proven he can sire very versatile horses. I'm very happy to have her at three and can't wait to see what she is going to do for us in the mile races this year.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ramatuelle, like Blue Rose Cen and fellow Group 1 winner Big Rock (Ire) (Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}), was bred by Yeguada Centurion but she was sold as a yearling to a syndicate involving Tony Parker's Infinity Nine Horses and Ecurie des Monceaux. While Blue Rose Cen has been moved over the winter to the stable of Maurizio Guarnieri, Big Rock remains under Head's care.<span> </span></p>
<p>He said of the G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. winner, &#8220;Big Rock is brilliant and has done very well over the winter. He will have a nice programme in Europe and we will be able to come over to the UK again.</p>
<p>&#8220;I will speak with the owners before saying anything about where he is going to start, but don't worry the horse is doing very well and we're very happy with his training. We can't wait to see him back on track.&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Blue Rose Cen (Ire)</strong> (Churchill {Ire}), the joint-top-rated 3-year-old filly in Europe last year and a Group 1 winner in both of her seasons to race, has been moved from the stable of Christopher Head to that of his fellow Chantilly trainer Maurizio Guarnieri. The news was first reported by <i>Jour de Galop</i>.<span> </span></p>
<p>Blue Rose Cen races in the colours of her breeder Leopoldo Fernandez Pujals of Yeguada Centurion, who, along with Head, also had the second-top-rated horse in Europe last year in Big Rock (Ire) (Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}). The G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. winner was given a mark of 127, just a pound below Ace Impact (Ire) and Mostahdaf (Ire), in the <a href="https://www.thoroughbreddailynews.com/equinox-crowned-longines-worlds-best-racehorse/">official Longines and IFHA World rankings</a>, which were announced on Tuesday in London. Furthermore, Yeguada Centurion also bred France's top-rated juvenile, Ramatuelle (<a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/america/stallions/justify" class="horse-link">Justify</a>), who is trained by Head for Tony Parker's Infinity Nine Horses.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yeguada Centurion has expressed the desire to entrust some horses to a new trainer,&#8221; Head told <i>Jour de Galop</i>. &#8220;This is why Blue Rose Cen joined Maurizio Guarnieri's stable. It was a real pleasure to train Blue Rose Cen for two years. She gave my team and me incredible emotions, and I hope she will do the same for her new trainer.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Italian-born Guarnieri, trainer of G2 Prix du Calvados winner Wed (Fr) (Profitable {Ire}) prior to her departure to the States, has taken charge of 10 horses for Yeguada Centurion, including seven juveniles. This brings his number of horses in training to 48.<span> </span></p>
<p>Head, who finished fourth in the French trainers' championship for 2023, is listed as having 22 horses in training for Yeguada Centurion, half of which are two-year-olds, among the 103 horses registered to his stable with France Galop.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>   Continuing the profiles of the favourite horses of TDN Europe's editorial team in 2023, Emma Berry selects the French raider who took QIPCO British Champions Day by storm.</em></p>
<p>I'd been impressed by Christopher Head since the day I first visited his stable in July 2019 and found him on the end of a broomstick sweeping the floor outside the rented boxes of the five horses he had in training at that time.</p>
<p>His ascent has been rapid, and by now his string must be 20 times that size. And, yes, he has a surname that would open doors in France and beyond, but it is hard not to respect the progress made within the short time Head has been training. In 2023, his first Classic win with Blue Rose Cen (Ire) (Churchill {Ire}), who had also been his first Group 1 winner in the previous season's Prix Marcel Boussac, was followed by his first Group 1 success outside France.</p>
<p><strong>Big Rock (Ire)</strong> first caught the eye with his dominant performance in the G3 Prix La Force at Longchamp. Off he went in front, and when Padishakh (Fr) came for him in the straight, he kicked again, repelling that challenger and ultimately winning eased down. This he repeated, even more impressively, when winning the G3 Prix de Guiche at Chantilly, with Aurelien Lemaitre simply having to coax him with hands and heels to put five lengths between himself and Horizon Dore (Fr). The runner-up would go on to record four straight stakes wins including two Group 2s.</p>
<p>Big Rock stepped up to the G1 Prix du Jockey Club and, for much of the race, the front-running son of Rock of Gibraltar (Ire) looked as though he would once again have things all his own way before Ace Impact (Ire) set sail from the back of the pack.</p>
<p>Chalk and cheese in their running styles, the trail-blazing Big Rock and stalking Ace Impact set the French scene alight this year. While the latter continued to storm through his season unbeaten, deploying a similarly devastating late turn of foot to win the Arc before retiring to stud, Big Rock thrice ran into just one that would get the better of him. They were good ones, mind. Inspiral (GB) took his scalp the next time in the G1 Prix Jacques Le Marois, and then Sauterne (Fr) in the G1 Prix du Moulin. But then came Ascot.</p>
<p>There is often much gnashing of teeth in the build-up to QIPCO British Champions Day, which is usually accompanied by typically wet autumn weather, making the ground testing. It was no problem for Big Rock, however, who coped with the soft ground just as he had done in his five-length romp at Chantilly in May, turning his seasonal finale into a procession.</p>
<p>This time it was a six-length pasting he gave his rivals in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II S., making all to rout a quality field that included the multiple Group 1 winners Tahiyra (Ire), Nashwa (GB), Paddington (GB) and Chaldean (GB). A dazzling performance to cut through the gloom of the day.</p>
<p>Big Rock looks a big star in the making for his late sire who had his own dazzling brand of magic over a mile, and the Yeguada Centurion homebred has a strong pedigree to recommend him once he makes it to stud. His Aga Khan-bred dam, by <a href="https://www.agakhanstuds.com/seathestars" class="horse-link">Sea The Stars</a> (Ire), is out of a half-sister to one of that stallion's best sons, the dual Derby winner Harzand (Ire). But before we even think about his stallion career, let's applaud his owner Leopoldo Fernandez Pujals for allowing him to race on and enjoy Big Rock back on the track in 2024.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Christopher Head's two star three-year-olds of 2023, dual Classic winner Blue Rose Cen (Ire) (Churchill {Ire}) and Saturday's sensational Queen Elizabeth II S. winner Big Rock (Fr) (Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}), will both remain in training for next season.</p>
<p>Timeform has awarded Big Rock a rating of 129 for his six-length romp on QIPCO British Champions Day, which is the highest figure recorded by a miler in Europe this season. The winner of two Group 3 Classic trials in the spring, Big Rock was second to Ace Impact (Fr) in the G1 Prix du Jockey Club and also finished runner-up in the G1 Prix Jacques Le Marois and G1 Prix du Moulin, behind Inspiral (GB) and Sauterne (Fr) respectively.<span> </span></p>
<p>Head told <i>TDN</i> on Monday, &#8220;He's come out the race perfectly well. It's crazy, a horse coming back from that kind of race and looking like he hasn't even raced.&#8221;</p>
<p>He continued, &#8220;We would have gone to the Arc de Triomphe if he had won the Jockey Club because we wouldn't have known the limit of the distance for him. So in one way I am happy that things have gone this way because we know better about him for next season.&#8221;</p>
<p>Both Big Rock and Blue Rose Cen race for their breeder Leopoldo Fernandez Pujals of Yeguada Centurion, who is also the breeder of their stable-mate Ramatuelle (<a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/america/stallions/justify" class="horse-link">Justify</a>). The winner of the G2 Prix Robert Papin and G3 Prix du Bois, Ramatuelle was beaten only a short-neck by Vandeek (GB) in the G1 Prix Morny. She was sold as a yearling to Arthur Hoyeau for a syndicate which includes Ecurie des Monceaux and Tony Parker's Infinity Nine Horses.</p>
<p>&#8220;It's the end of the season now for Big Rock, and for Blue Rose Cen and Ramatuelle, and they are all coming back next season,&#8221; Head confirmed. &#8220;It's wonderful. Leopoldo loves his racing and he loves his horses and he doesn't want the public to get bored, so he wants them to be running next season and for everyone to be able to follow them.&#8221;</p>
<p>He added of Big Rock, &#8220;He was from Rock Of Gibraltar's last crop so it is wonderful to have him doing what he is in the same year that his sire has disappeared. And now he will be able to carry on the genes because he already has value as a stallion.&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Multiple Group 1 winner <strong>Blue Rose Cen (Ire)</strong> (Churchill {Ire}), who won the G1 Prix de l'Opera and booked her ticket to the GI Breeders' Cup Filly &amp; Mare Turf as a result, will skip that engagement and is being freshened prior to being prepared for a 4-year-old campaign, <em>Jour de Galop</em> reported on Friday.</p>
<p>The Yeguada Centurion homebred is trained by Christopher Head. In 2022, she won the G1 Prix Marcel Boussac, and then completed a rare triple when adding the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and G1 Prix de Diane. After two unplaced runs at the highest level, she won the Opera by a neck and is currently on break at Haras de l'Hotellerie according to Head.</p>
<p>&#8220;Blue Rose Cen achieved a magnificent season,&#8221; he told the <em>JDG</em>. &#8220;You have to know how to respect the horses and, moreover, she will be seen again on the track as a 4-year-old. She went to take a month-and-a-half vacation, with the idea that it would be profitable for next year.</p>
<p>&#8220;We had thought about running in the Breeders' Cup last year and we skipped it because she had walked on a rock. Finally, when we see what she achieved this year, it was perhaps a blessing in disguise. We do not have a set programme for next year for her.&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wertheimer and Frere will add two new trainers to its team this year in the form of Yann Barberot in Deauville and Christopher Head in Chantilly, their manager Pierre-Yves Bureau told the <em>Jour de Galop</em> on Thursday.</p>
<p>The two have enjoyed success on French and European racecourses this past season. Their addition to the training ranks comes after the brothers' addition of the Wildenstein Family's Dayton Investments bloodstock portfolio this past August. Bureau also told the <em>JDG</em> that they would be retaining their existing trainers; Andre Fabre, who currently has 22 horses for them at Chantilly; Christophe Ferland, 31 at Chantilly; Carlos Laffon-Parias, also 31 at Chantilly; and Edouard Montfort, with nine at Luche-Pringe, according to the <em>JDG</em>. The 2022 yearlings are expected to join their trainers' strings next week, the <em>JDG</em> reports.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yeguada Centurion's <strong>Blue Rose Cen (Ire)</strong> (Churchill {Ire}&#8211;Queen Blossom {Ire}, by Jeremy) had failed to fire in two starts after notching a Classic double in the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and G1 Prix de Diane, but was pitch-perfect in Sunday's G1 Prix de l'Opera Longines at ParisLongchamp to secure for a fourth elite-level triumph in game fashion.</p>
<p>Last term's G1 Prix Marcel Boussac heroine was supported down to favouritism in the betting market and broke on the lead from the inside stall before accepting a tow in third in this &#8220;Win and You're In&#8221; for the GI Breeders' Cup Filly &amp; Mare Turf next month. Slipping to fourth at halfway, the crowd's 17-10 pick made smooth progress out wide in the straight to regain control entering the final furlong and ran on strongly under a late drive to hold the rallying effort of <strong>Jackie Oh (Ire)</strong> (Galileo {Ire}) by a neck. <strong>Lumiere Rock (Ire)</strong> (<a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/ireland/stallions/saxon-warrior" class="horse-link">Saxon Warrior</a> {Jpn}), another who raced to the fore, finished one length adrift in third.</p>
<p>&#8220;This filly is incredible,&#8221; beamed trainer Christopher Head. &#8220;The season has been long and difficult for her, but she has always responded well. I am delighted to have the chance to train her and this win really means something to me. She has known combats like this and to see her shine again at this level is incredible. Aurelien Lemaitre succeeded in moving her to the outside because it can be a little treacherous on the rail. It was a beautiful ride and a beautiful race. We ran her in the [G1] Prix Vermeille in order to see her ability at the [12-furlong] distance. We now know what her limit is and we have her in a good position for us to make a plan for next year. Her last two outings did not worry me and we have seen her tested at Goodwood and over 2,400 metres. Her owner loves a challenge and we will discuss the next step, but she could be entered for the Breeders' Cup.&#8221;</p>
<p>Owner Leopoldo Fernandez Pujals added, &#8220;For me, this win is very special and the understanding with Christopher Head is perfect. There is lots of discussion between us and we are perpetually dissatisfied. He started as a trainer when I threw myself into it as a breeder and we have grown together.&#8221;</p>
<p>Reflecting on the effort of runner-up Jackie Oh, Aidan O'Brien said, &#8220;We are very happy and the filly performed really well. She will be seen next at Ascot over 12 furlongs [in the G1 British Champions Fillies &amp; Mares].&#8221;</p>
<p>Lumiere Rock's jockey Dylan Browne McMonagle was satisfied with the run of his filly and added, &#8220;She ran well over a the 10-furlong distance, which she appreciated, but she would have perhaps preferred softer ground. She's achieved Group 1 black type and that is perfect.&#8221;</p>
