GREY LUX (IRE) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) is a son of the G1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp heroine Grey Lilas  (Ire) (Danehill), whose best progeny to date was the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, G1 Prix de Diane and G1 Prix d'Ispahan winner Golden Lilac (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Like those luminaries, Andre Fabre has charge of the Gestut Ammerland homebred who meets five peers at the track at which the trainer introduced his listed-winning half-brother Golden Guepard (Ire) (Hurricane Run (Ire).

First Winner For Recoletos

Haras du Quesnay's first-season sire Recoletos (Fr) (by Whipper) is off the mark after his daughter Markswoman (Fr) captured the opener at Compiegne on Tuesday. Fifth over 6 1/2 furlongs on debut at Craon June 13, the 23-5 shot was restrained early to race in rear. Cajoled into contention in early straight, she needed a remainder to overhaul Anoline (Fr) (Anodin {Ire}) and responded to head that rival inside the last 100 metres for a 3/4-of-a-length success. She is the last known foal out of the dam, a relative of the Arc-winning champion Sakhee whose sole black-type performer to date is the Listed Prix Roland de Chambure runner-up Marasquin (Fr) (Zanzibari).

1st-Compiegne, €20,000, Mdn, 7-5, 2yo, 7fT, 1:26.39, g/s.

Freshman Sire The Grey Gatsby Off The Mark at Compiegne

Haras du Petit Tellier's The Grey Gatsby (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) became the latest European freshman sire off the mark when the Carlos and Yann Lerner-trained 16-5 favourite Jay Gatsby (Fr) shed maiden status in Friday's Prix de la Vallee de l'Automne (Maiden) over seven furlongs at Compiegne.

3rd-Compiegne, €20,000, Mdn, 7-2, 2yo, 7fT, 1:29.13, vsf.
JAY GATSBY (FR) (c, 2, The Grey Gatsby {Ire}–Hijaziyah {GB}, by Testa Rossa {Aus}), who posted a June 11 debut fourth over course and distance last time, was well away to race on the front end from flagfall in this one. Threatened on all sides once into the straight, the 16-5 favourite was stoked up approaching the final furlong and driven out in the closing stages to assert by two lengths from Balnikhov (Ire) (Adaay {Ire}), becoming the first winner for his freshman sire (by Mastercraftsman {Ire}). He is the latest of seven foals and fifth scorer produced by a winning half-sister to Listed Prix de Boulogne winner Mundybash (GB) (Diktat {GB}). The April-foaled chestnut is a half-brother to the dual stakes-placed Yanling (Fr) (Rio de La Plata) and Listed Prix Saraca runner-up Golconda (Fr) (Planteur {Ire}). Sales history: €55,000 Ylg '20 ARQSEP. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, €12,700. Video, sponsored by TVG.
