Beaute Cachee Delivers For Chad Brown In Jenny Wiley Upset

Trainer Chad Brown had four starters in Saturday's GI Jenny Wiley S. at Keeneland and of the four, including stablemates Gina Romantica (Into Mischief) and Surge Capacity (Flintshire {GB}), it was his longest shot that delivered Brown his seventh win in the race with 25-1 Beaute Cachee (Fr) taking the field gate to wire for the upset.

Bred in France by Gregor Vischer, Beaute Cachee spent all of 2021 and 2022 overseas before joining Brown in New York in May of last year. The narrowest of winners in her American debut at Belmont, she posted solid results at nearly every track in the area, winning the Violet S. at Monmouth and hitting the board at Saratoga and at Belmont's Aqueduct meet last October before shipping west to try her luck in the GI Matriarch S. Dec. 3. A respectable third in that last start, notably behind a pair of rivals she faced Saturday, Beaute Cachee looked to turn the tables on Matriarch winner and Surge Capacity. Drawn widest of the field in gate 10, the 25-1 longshot, in the expert hands of Frankie Dettori, utilized a good break to work her way over, leading the field just two wide past the wire for the first time. Godolphin runner English Rose chose to take back and settled just off the early pace as Beaute Cachee was now alone up front through fractions of :24.18 and :48.65. Chased by GII Pegasus World Cup Filly and Mare Turf Invitational winner Didia (Arg) around the turn, the leader got first jump and never looked to be in trouble, striding out under Dettori even as English Rose got by Didia late for a closing second.

“She didn't surprise me that she was able to win; she surprised me that she went wire to wire,” admitted Brown. “Leaving the Paddock, Frankie [Dettori] said, 'You know, I plan on being very forward in here.' I thought about it for a minute, and then I thought, 'I'm not going to tell him what to do.' It's such an important win to share; I've never won a Grade I with Frankie, so obviously anything can happen with those magic hands of his. I want to thank the [owners] who weren't able to be here today: Sol Kumin [of Madaket Stables] and his partners, Michael Dubb and Louis Lazzinnaro. They couldn't make it, but it's a huge win for them. This is our seventh Jenny Wiley, and like I said after [winning] the [Toyota] Blue Grass, many, many of the same team members were with us for the first one. The horses may change, but the people working and making it happen haven't, so it's really their win. They did all the work.”

 

Pedigree Note:

One of seven stakes winner and the second graded-stakes winner for G1SW Literato, who notably was also ridden by Frankie Dettori, Beaute Cachee was just a €1,500 purchase at the 2020 Arqana Autumn Flat-Bred Yearling Sale by owner and trainer Gael Barbedette who raced her until she was sold to her current connections upon her move to the United States. She is the third foal out of an unraced dam who has produced one other winner from three to make the races. This is the extended family of MG1SW Indian Ink (Ire) (Indian Ridge {Ire}), GSW Feel Like Dancing (GB) (Galileo {Ire}). Sign And Seal (Ire) has produced just one foal since Beaute Cachee, reporting a Zanzibari colt in 2021 who went through the Arqana November Yearling Sale in 2022 for €15,000 to Pegasus Bloodstock but has yet to race.

Stewart’s Resolute Racing Buys Into Pegasus F&M Turf Winner Didia

John Stewart's Resolute Racing has purchased this year's GII Pegasus Filly and Mare Turf Invitational S. winner Didia (Arg) (Orpen), he told the TDN in a text message. He will race her in partnership with her owners, John Moores's and Charles Noell's Merriebelle Stable.

Didia is entered in this Saturday's GI Jenny Wiley S. at Keeneland.

“I have a ranking system I use and she was at the top,” said Stewart. “I have been trying to buy her for four months. The agreement is for me to buy her. I pay half now and half when she retires and we race her together from this weekend at Keeneland.”

Didia, also the winner of the GII Rodeo Drive S. at Santa Anita and the GIII Modesty S. at Churchill, was also second in the GI New York S. at Belmont Park.

In her native Argentina, the now six-year-old was a two-time Group 1 winner. She arrived in the U.S. in 2022, and won six of eight starts since that time, bringing her lifetime record to 10 of 15 lifetime starts. She has earned just over $1 million.

Weekly Stewards and Commissions Rulings, Jan. 23-29

Every week, the TDN posts a roundup of the relevant Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act (HISA) related rulings from around the country.

Among this week's rulings, the seven-day prohibition on intra-articular injections prior to a timed workout continues to trip up stakeholders.

Six new individuals are facing possible sanctions for violations of this rule, to go with the 30 individuals whose cases have already been resolved. A typical first-time violation comes with a $3,000 fine.

Didia Outclasses Rivals In Pegasus World Cup F/M Turf

The exceptionally consistent Didia (Arg) (Orpen) won for the 10th time in 15 career starts and for the sixth time in eight appearances since coming to North America, kicking on gamely in the final eighth of a mile to take out Saturday's $500,000 GIII TAA Pegasus World Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Gulfstream Park.

Sent off the lukewarm 33-10 favorite, some $1,500 more than GIII Cardinal S. romper Star Fortress (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Didia jumped alertly and put herself right into the race, as she settled just off the flank of longshot leader Accomplished Girl (Street Boss) through the opening exchanges. The pace was not overly taxing up front–Didia eyeballed Accomplished Girl past a half-mile in a modest :48.62–and Didia was held together by Jose Ortiz on the turn, waiting for her cue to sprint for the wire.

Asked for her best when level with the front-runner on the swing for home, the 6-year-old stuck her head in front at the furlong marker and was home first. Surprisingly (Mastery), a 25-1 outsider, was able to drop down onto the fence rounding the  first turn when Star Fortress was taken hold of and rode the rail throughout. She turned in a menacing late rally to be a good second. California raider Ruby Nell (Bolt d'Oro) was well and truly taken out of her game when unable to make the running, as is her custom, but she was settled well enough by Frankie Dettori from a forward position and finished a highly creditable third, just ahead of the well-bet Fluffy Socks (Slumber {GB}).

Twice a Group 1 winner in Argentina, Didia won the first four starts of her stateside sojourn, capped by a powerful victory in the GIII Modesty S. at Churchill last May. A pace-compromised second in the GI New York S. June 9, the bay was freshened with an eye on the tail end of the season and she returned to boss her rivals in the GII Rodeo Drive S. Oct. 7. She was most recently 10th to champion Inspiral (GB) (Frankel {GB}) as the 9-1 fourth choice in the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf Nov. 4.

“I told [jockey] Jose [Ortiz] to be close and don't leave her that much to do,” said winning trainer Ignacio Correas of Saturday's effort. “He was a bit closer but when I saw that the pace was not that fast, I was very happy with where she was. I thought if she got beat it was going to be if she beat herself. She had everything in her favor.

“I think that probably she's better than I ever imagined,” Correas added. “She can do whatever. When you think that she was running a mile and a quarter and them come and put in such a performance almost wire to wire, close to the lead, these horses they just train themselves. We just need to stay out of the way.”

The victory earns Didia a spot in the field and a $25,000 travel stipend for the G1 Qatar Nassau S. at Glorious Goodwood later this summer.
