Enable To Visit Dubawi

Dual G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and triple G1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth S. winner Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) is one of eight Juddmonte mares set to visit Dubawi (Ire) this season. Enable, whose 11 Group 1 wins also included the G1 Oaks and GI Breeders' Cup Turf, was covered by Kingman (GB) last winter. Also visiting Dubawi are Enable's dam Concentric (Sadler's Wells) and group-placed half-sister Entitle (GB) (Dansili {GB}); Time Test (GB)'s dam Passage Of Time (GB) (Dansili {GB}); Frankel (GB)'s winning full-sister Chiasma (Ire); and black-type-winning Frankel fillies Obligate (GB), Mori (GB) and Fount (GB).

In its mating plans released on Thursday, Juddmonte quite understandably has designated a star-studded group for its breakout homebred sires Kingman and Frankel.

Kingman

Juddmonte mares visiting Kingman this season include Grade/Group 1 winners Juliet Foxtrot (GB) (Dansili {GB}), Quadrilateral (GB) (Frankel {GB}) and Samba Inc (Arg) (Include), as well as the champion 2-year-old filly Quadrilateral's dam Nimble Thimble (Mizzen Mast); Flare Of Firelight (Birdstone), the dam of G2 Gimcrack S. and G2 Vintage S. winner Threat (GB) (Footstepsinthesand {GB}); and young stakes-winning mares Dandhu (GB) (Dandy Man {Ire}), Isabella Giles (Ire) (Belardo {Ire}), Lucky Kristale (GB) (Lucky Story), Nay Lady Nay (Ire) (No Nay Never) and Pocket Square (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}).

Frankel

Among the mares designated for champion sire Frankel (GB) are Grade/Group 1 winners Capla Temptress (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) and Winsili (GB) (Dansili {GB}); the multiple group winner Soffia (GB) (Kyllachy {GB}); Bird Flown (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) and Scuffle (GB) (Daylami {Ire}), the dams, respectively, of Juddmonte-bred Classic winners Siskin (First Defence) and Logician (GB) (Frankel {GB}); and Peace Charter (GB) (War Front), a half-sister to Frankel's exciting 3-year-old filly for 2022, Raclette (GB).

Expert Eye

Juddmonte sire Expert Eye (GB) has his first runners this year, and among the mares Juddmonte will send him in his fourth season are Modern Look (GB) (Zamindar), the dam of Grade III winner Grand Jete (GB) (Dansili {GB}), the listed-winning stakes producer Pavlosk (Arch); black-type mare Tendu (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}); stakes producer Announce (GB) (Selkirk); and Group 3 winner Hot Snap (GB) (Pivotal {GB}), a half-sister to six-time Group 1 winner Midday (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}). Midday is herself one of two Juddmonte mares that will visit Coolmore's Horse of the Year and champion 3-year-old St Mark's Basilica (Fr), the other being Group 1 winner Timepiece (GB) (Zamindar).

Bated Breath

Bated Breath (GB) stands for £15,000, his highest-ever fee, at Banstead Manor this year, and the Juddmonte mares he will receive include stakes producer Photographic (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}); listed winners Variable (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) and Zaminast (GB) (Zamindar); and Star Snap (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), a daughter of Hot Snap.

Showcasing, Time Test & New Bay

Juddmonte will also support stallions it has bred that are now standing at other studs. Among the mares set to be covered by Group 1 sire Showcasing (GB) are Fair Eva (GB) (Frankel {GB})'s dam African Rose (GB) (Observatory {GB}). Time Test, the sire of four stakes winners from his first crop last year, will cover the likes of Across The Floor (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), the dam of Group 3 winner Acanella (GB) (Dansili {GB}); while New Bay (GB) will cover listed winner Heliac (GB) (Champs Elysees {GB}).

Outside Stallions

In addition to St Mark's Basilica, the outside stallions that Juddmonte will use include Night Of Thunder (Ire) (Grade I winner and stakes producer Ventura {Chester House}); Camelot (GB) (Frankel's stakes-producing sister Joyeuse {GB} {Oasis Dream}); Wootton Bassett (GB) for three mares including Joyeuse's daughter Jovial (GB) (Dubawi {Ire})) and Group 1 winner and stakes producer Romantica (GB) (Galileo {Ire}); Sea The Stars for another of Joyeuse's daughters, Jubiloso (GB) (Shamardal) and the Grade I-winning Viadera (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}); Siyouni (Fr) for two mares including Viadera's dam Sacred Shield (GB) (Beat Hollow {GB}); Lope De Vega (Ire) for the multiple Group 3 winner and stakes producer Big Break (GB) (Dansili {GB}); Kodiac (GB) for Straight Thinking (Mizzen Mast), which will result in a full-sibling to last year's listed-winning juvenile Straight Answer (GB); and Dark Angel (Ire) for Occurrence (GB) (Frankel {GB}), which will result in a full-sibling to last year's G3 Silver Flash S. second Juncture (GB).

Speedy Speaker’s Corner Scores Breakout Victory in Fred Hooper

Lightly raced Speaker's Corner had earned some strong speed figures up to this point for a horse without a stakes win, and he kicked off his 4-year-old campaign auspiciously with a breakthrough tally in Florida. A second-out graduate in New York as a fall juvenile over a very salty bunch of future stakes runners (Caddo River, Greatest Honour, Miles D, Bourbonic and Original), Speaker's Corner resurfaced off the long lay-off to crush Saratoga allowance foes by open lengths. The GI Pennsylvania Derby next out perhaps proved too much too soon, as he was a distant sixth behind Hot Rod Charlie (Oxbow) that day, but he bounced back just fine to take a Belmont optional claimer Oct. 29 with a gaudy 109 Beyer. He settled for second last out to old familiar foe Miles D (Curlin) after showing the way in Aqueduct's nine-furlong Discovery S., but this one-turn-mile trip figured to hit him right between the eyes.

Speaker's Corner broke well and eventually poked a head in front of foes on either side through a :22.13 first quarter. The bay was able to earn a sliver of separation after that, but he had to work for it through a :44.82 half. Favored GIII Harlan's Holiday S. winner Fearless was scrubbed on aggressively heading for home as Speaker's Corner still had his hands full with his company up front. Speaker's Corner put away Officiating as he straightened for home, and he dug in ferociously to hold sway Fearless, who was previously 5-4-1-0 over this strip and was representing the red-hot Todd Pletcher barn.

“It was just a phenomenal performance by him,” said winning pilot Junior Alvarado. “We always thought very high of him. He's been a bit of a process to build up and to get to this race and the way he did it. He has a great a great trainer in Bill Mott. I think I was just a passenger today. He was very good today. He put up the fast fractions with horses on the inside and outside. He put them away and still had enough courage to draw away home very strong.”

Mott added, “We didn't know if we'd be on the lead. We didn't really plan to be there, but the horse broke well and he was taking him and he was traveling easily. He was in between horses and he said he didn't want to get jammed up so he let him cruise on and it worked out well. They took a little run at him around the turn and he was able to repel those horses and, of course, good enough to hold off the late challenge of Fearless.”

Pedigree Notes:

Speaker's Corner is bred identically to MGISW Maxfield, who will begin his first season at stud for Darley in a couple weeks. Fellow Darley resident Street Sense now has 82 stakes winners, 36 of them graded. The late Bernardini, meanwhile, one of the hottest broodmare sires of the last few years, is responsible for the dams of 61 stakes winners (34 graded) and counting. Colonel Liam (Liam's Map), also out of a Bernardini mare, defended his title in the GI Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational S. one race later Saturday.

The winner's unraced dam is a daughter of 2006 GI Breeders' Cup Distaff heroine Round Pound (Awesome Again)–she rode the same Churchill rail that day that Street Sense charged up for his GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile romp. Round Pond was acquired by Sheikh Mohammed for a sale-topping $5.75 million at the 2007 Fasig-Tipton November sale. Her black-type earning progeny include G1 Al Maktoum Challenge winner Long River (A.P. Indy).

Speaker's Corner is his dam's first foal. He has a year-younger full-brother named Town Branch who shows an upbeat worktab at Payson Park, a 2-year-old half-brother by Maclean's Music and a yearling half-brother by Nyquist born last May.
