New Approach’s Mac Swiney Takes the Futurity Trophy

Saturday was unofficially Jim Bolger day, with his breeding operation excelling with two group 1 successes and a trio of pattern-race wins across three countries. Chief among them was Mac Swiney (Ire) (New Approach {Ire}), who sported the family silks as he carried off an attritional renewal of Doncaster’s G1 Vertem Futurity Trophy. As the ground deteriorated on Town Moor, the race which has so often been a key pointer to the following season’s Classics lost a vital player with Ballydoyle withdrawing the likely favourite Wembley (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). What resulted was a survival-of-the-fittest encounter and the leading pugilist was one of Bolger’s already battle-hardened juveniles as Mac Swiney proved he had the requisite amount of class and stamina combined. Trading at 12-1 having run eighth in The Curragh’s G1 Vincent O’Brien National S. last time, the G2 Futurity S. winner tracked the G3 Autumn S. winner and 6-4 favourite One Ruler (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) as Cobh (Ire) (Kodi Bear {Ire}) pressed on at the front. Apparently booked for a place only as Baradar (Ire) (Muhaarar {GB}) took over travelling smoothly passing two out, the chestnut was only halfway through his day’s graft and his travails paid off as he wore down that rival inside the final 200 yards. At the line, he had 3/4 of a length to spare over One Ruler, with the non-staying Baradar fading to be 2 1/4 lengths back in third. “Go back to his Futurity win and put a line through his last run and he was a leading player,” winning rider Kevin Manning said. “When he won the Futurity it was soft, although not as testing at this, and the extra furlong was always going to suit him. He’s a real three-year-old in the making and I think when he steps up in trip next year with another winter under his belt you’ll see the real horse.”

In a feat of foresight which is hardly surprising given that we are talking about Irish racing’s talisman Jim Bolger, the homebred was coming to England to conquer the day before the 100th anniversary of the death by hunger strike of Irish playwright and politician Terence Macswiney. “I must have known he was good back in January when I called him Mac Swiney, as it wouldn’t have been good to name him after such an important Cork man if he wasn’t capable of delivering,” quipped his owner-breeder. “He was one of our outstanding patriots and I’m thrilled for his memory and for his extended family.” Introduced in the seven-furlong Curragh maiden won by TDN Rising Star Hudson River (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) June 28, Mac Swiney was fifth keeping smart company with Wembley ending up third. When they re-engaged over the same course and distance July 18, it was the Bolger representative who held the bragging rights as he dealt Wembley a 1 1/2-length defeat only to flop when ninth in the G3 Tyros S. at Leopardstown Aug. 6. Getting the better of Cadillac (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) when 28-1 for the Futurity back at The Curragh Aug. 22, he was again off piste in the National Sept. 13 but was back on his A-game on his first try at this trip that was always going to prove a perfect fit.

“To use the cliche, he ticks all the boxes and certainly does so after today,” added Bolger, who had just watched the juvenile he also bred but sold, Gear Up (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}), win the G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud. “I was hoping he could win, as he’s been improving steadily over the last six weeks and I thought he’d get through the ground today. I bought the third dam [Amoura (Northfields)] for $4,000 in America after both The Aga Khan and Khalid Abdullah had finished with her. I’ve been regarding him as my Derby horse since he first went to the races and I’m not about to change that opinion. Five minutes earlier, we had another group 1 winner at Saint-Cloud and it is down to the brilliant staff I have both at the farm and at the training centre.”

Inbred 2×3 to Galileo (Ire), Mac Swiney is out of the unraced Halla Na Saoire (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) who is a full-sister to the G2 Derrinstown Derby Trial winner and G1 Irish Derby third Light Heavy (Ire) and a half to Halla Siamsa (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}) who produced a trio of black-type performers by Teofilo headed by the surprise G1 Dewhurst S. hero Parish Hall (Ire). The aforementioned Amoura is also the ancestress of the Listed Curragh S. winner An Ghalanta (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}), who is in turn the dam of this year’s Listed Empress S. winner Time Scale (GB) (Charm Spirit {Ire}). Halla Na Saoire’s as-yet unnamed yearling colt is by Vocalised.

Leger Triumph For Australia’s Galileo Chrome

In a G1 Pertemps St Leger story of twists and turns, the joy of Tom Marquand counterbalanced despair for Shane Crosse as Galileo Chrome (Ire) (Australia {GB}) battled to glory in the oldest Classic at Doncaster on Saturday. In the fortnight that had passed since his command performance in Navan’s Listed Yeats S., there had been a sizeable gamble on the Joseph O’Brien runner from 25-1 into a starting price of 4-1 and a remarkable positive COVID-19 test returned on regular rider Shane Crosse. Marquand, who had suffered some slings and arrows himself when jocked off English King (Fr) (Camelot {GB}) for the Derby earlier in the season, seemed the perfect beneficiary as a result and also proved up to the task as he lifted the Irish raider past Berkshire Rocco (Fr) (Sir Percy {GB}) in the final 100 yards for a neck success. Pyledriver (GB) (Harbour Watch {Ire}) held on for third despite the petrol gauge being empty, while the 5-2 favourite Santiago (Ire) (Authorized {Ire}) travelled like the certain winner throughout but could only manage fourth. “This is a dream come true. Obviously, I genuinely feel terrible for Shane because under such circumstances I can’t imagine what heartbreak that would bring,” Marquand said. “He’s in a similar boat to me in that that would have been a first Classic for him and I know how much that means to me. The racing game is a leveller and it was a case of me being in the right place at the right time. I was extremely lucky just to get the ride, which was a great story in itself, but to win it is something else.”

As if any proof were needed, this result is further confirmation that Joseph O’Brien will be a force in the training ranks for some years to come. This outcome, in the race in which he was denied Triple Crown glory on Camelot (GB) in 2012 only to come back victorious with Leading Light (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}) a year later, means that at the age of 27 he has already matched the achievement of the legendary Harry Wragg in riding and training a St Leger winner. Galileo Chrome has crept up on this scene with stealth, avoiding the traditional trials such as the Gordon or the Voltigeur, but there was a distinct measure of Classic class in the manner of his five-length success in the Yeats over 13 furlongs on testing ground. Earlier this summer, the bay had been forced to sidestep the June 27 G1 Irish Derby due to a stone bruise having won the 10-furlong Curragh maiden June 12 in which Serpentine (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) was fifth. Next seen winning a conditions race by six lengths over the same trip at Leopardstown July 31, he emerged from his first black-type test at Navan with true Leger credentials.

Admirably straightforward as well as talented, Galileo Chrome was able to glide into a mid-division pitch from the widest stall as Mythical (Fr) (Camelot {GB}) pressed Subjectivist (GB) (Teofilo {Ire}) on the lead. As it turned out, Marquand was tracking the right rival in Berkshire Rocco as they straightened for home but Frankie was on the tail of Galileo Chrome travelling with a double-handful on Santiago, who had shown Berkshire Rocco a clean pair of heels in the G2 Queen’s Vase at Royal Ascot. With 3 1/2 furlongs remaining, racing room was suddenly at a premium for the eventual winner, who was starting to feel the pinch and as Santiago shut the door to his right Marquand was forced to dive inside for his run. Two out, there were five across the Town Moor track matching strides as Santiago, Berkshire Rocco, Galileo Chrome, Hukum (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) and Pyledriver created a dramatic spectacle. Hukum cracked first, while a tiring Pyledriver rolled towards the far rail which left the Irish pair to duel with the proven stayer Berkshire Rocco in between passing the furlong pole. With Santiago at full stretch and unable to sustain the battle, Galileo Chrome forged on to deny Andrea Atzeni on the gallant Andrew Balding trainee in an epic renewal which is certain to stand the test of time.

“If I had 20 goes at it, I wouldn’t be able to do it again,” added the winning rider, who had registered his first wins at this level on Addeybb (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}) in the Ranvet and Queen Elizabeth S. this Spring and who would have been riding English King (Fr) (Camelot {GB}) had he not been switched to ParisLongchamp by Ed Walker. “Stall 12 is normally a sticky draw and it is credit to him and his ability that there wasn’t really a moment’s worry. When you get instructions from someone like Joseph, who you know has been here and done it, you know it’s reliable and he told me to be mid-division or closer as long as he was comfortable in himself. You have to have the right horse and I knew beforehand that he would be comfortable going this trip, as in the listed race he had powered to the line.”

Reflecting on recent months, Marquand added, “Time and time again it’s all fallen my way. I lost English King in the Derby and gained Khalifa Sat and finished second. Then I got English King back for today and he ended up going to France for a more favourable race and I can’t go there as I’d have to do the week’s quarantine after. Then Shane Crosse’s misfortune means that this has ended up in my lap. It’s been an incredible run this year, with those two Australian group 1s earlier on while there was a lockdown in England–it’s the luck of the draw and things have gone from strength to strength since. It is a hard game it’s hard to win a group 1 on home soil, let alone a Classic.”

Joseph O’Brien was restricted to staying at home due to the complications of Shane Crosse’s positive test and said, “Shane obviously had been in the yard during the week, so just as a precaution any of his close contacts are in the process of being tested and I just haven’t gone racing to err on the side of caution really. But I’m enjoying the racing! I’m lucky enough to be able to watch it from home.”

Andrew Balding was narrowly denied a second Kingsclere Classic winner in 2020 and said of Berkshire Rocco, “I would have settled for that beforehand. He wears his heart on his sleeve and kept digging in, but it wasn’t quite enough. There were no hiding places and no excuses–Andrea gave him a lovely ride. It’s a race we all want to win and we are getting closer, so we’ll keep going. It’s fantastic to run so well in a Classic–he has some options and there is a race in France, but we’ll see if he runs again this season.” Martin Dwyer said of Pyledriver, “He didn’t stay. He was slightly over-racing, but had everything beat at the two and didn’t see it out. He was getting tired towards the finish. It was a super run and he’s lost nothing in defeat. He can come back to a mile and a half and maybe even a mile and a quarter, as he has the speed for it. He’s such a nice horse and he’s going to be even better next year. It was a gamble worth trying, being the last Classic he could run in, and he was the last one off the bridle so I think there’s a group 1 win in him. This was unnatural for him. There was a point in the race where I should have been working through the gears and picking up, but I’m having to steady him down. He was out of his comfort zone.”

Dettori said of Santiago, “He wants a bit of cut in the ground. He came there to win, but he didn’t level off like I thought he would. I felt on softer ground mine would be a better horse.” Hukum’s trainer Owen Burrows said of the fifth, “It was just the last furlong and a half. He was out on his head a bit. He stayed at Newbury, but in lesser company. In this class it was a bit too far for him. We always thought he wasn’t a Cup horse. We’ll look forward to next year.”
Galileo Chrome’s family includes a trio who have already played bit parts in the St Leger story, with his dam Curious Mind (GB) (Dansili {GB}) being a half-sister to Michelangelo (GB) by Australia’s sire Galileo (Ire) who was third in the aforementioned renewal in which Camelot lost out to Encke (Kingmambo). Two years earlier, another relative Midas Touch (GB) also by Galileo had run second in this, while his half-sister Coronet (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) was fifth in one of the better renewals three years ago. The second dam, the dual listed-placed Intrigued (GB) (Darshaan {GB}) was also responsible for Private Secretary (GB) (Kingman {GB}) who like Michelangelo took the Listed Cocked Hat S. She is a daughter of the G2 Nassau S. and G2 Sun Chariot S. winner Last Second (Ire) (Alzao), who in turn produced the sire Aussie Rules who captured the G1 Poule d’Essai des Poulains and GI Shadwell Turf Mile. Last Second also threw the listed scorer Approach (GB) (Darshaan {GB}), who is the dam of the aforementioned G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud heroine Coronet and Midas Touch who was also runner-up in the G1 Irish Derby.

Last Second is kin to Alleluia (GB) (Caerleon), who won the G3 Doncaster Cup at this meeting before producing the G1 Prix Royal Oak scorer Allegretto (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and the listed-winning and group-placed pair of full-sisters Arrikala (Ire) and Alouette (GB) by Darshaan (GB). Alouette produced the dual G1 Champion S. heroine Alborada (GB) and the triple German group 1 scorer Alborada (GB) from matings with Last Second’s sire Alzao and both have proven special broodmares for Kirsten Rausing. Also connected to Sadler’s Wells’ high-class full-sisters Yesterday (Ire) and Quarter Moon (Ire), Curious Mind also has a yearling full-sister to Galileo Chrome who was led out unsold at €70,000 at last year’s Arqana December Breeding Stock Sale. Her colt foal is by Dream Ahead.

Park Glory For No Nay Never’s Wichita

Rebounding from a rare below-par effort when eighth in the 6 1/2-furlong G1 Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville Aug. 9, Ballydoyle’s Wichita (Ire) (No Nay Never) was in battling mood on Saturday as he edged out One Master (GB) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) in Doncaster’s G2 bet365 Park S. Well-supported into 11-4 favouritism, the bay who was so close to winning the G1 2000 Guineas was in front of two others racing far side under Frankie Dettori throughout the early stages. Gaining the advantage passing the furlong pole, he had to dig deep as One Master thrusted late and was behind a stride before the line but had his nose down where it mattered to score by a short head. Molatham (GB) (Night of Thunder {Ire}) was two lengths away in third in a strong renewal which puts the winner back in the winner’s spot for the first time since the G3 Somerville Tattersall S. a year ago. “He was a bit lazy after getting rid of the two on either side, but Tom [Marquand] came very quick at me. It was hard to tell if we’d won, but he’s a lovely horse who deserved it.”

Coming back to the track at which he was second to Molatham in the Listed Flying Scotsman S. 12 months earlier, Wichita was gaining compensation for a neck defeat by Kameko (Kitten’s Joy) in the June 6 Newmarket Classic. Also third in Royal Ascot’s G1 St James’s Palace S. June 20 and fifth in the G1 Sussex S. at Goodwood July 29 before his below-par Maurice de Gheest effort, he has become a regular mount for Dettori who added, “He was a bit flat at Deauville last time, but he was fresh today. He’s been a model of consistency and I’m pleased that he put his head in front today. I think seven furlongs is spot-on for him.”

Wichita is the last known foal out of the listed scorer Lumiere Noire (Fr) (Dashing Blade {GB}), who is a half-sister to the GI Manhattan H. hero Desert Blanc (GB) (Desert Style {Ire}). Their dam Lumiere Rouge (Fr) (Indian Ridge {Ire}) is a half-sister to the G2 Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte winner and G1 Grand Criterium and G1 Premio Vittorio di Capua runner-up Signe Divin (Bering {GB}), while the family also features the G1 Prix de l’Opera heroine Satwa Queen (Fr) (Muhtathir {GB}). She is the second dam of this year’s G1 Phoenix S. hero Lucky Vega (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) who could bring up a notable double for the family in Sunday’s G1 Goffs Vincent O’Brien National S. This is also the family of the G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud-winning sire Spadoun (Fr) (Kaldoun {Fr}) and this year’s Listed Dragon S. winner Gussy Mac (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}).

Wootton Bassett’s Chindit Strikes In the Champagne

Michael Pescod’s Chindit (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) was two-for-two and the pick on form entering Saturday’s G2 bet365 Champagne S. at Doncaster and he emerged with that tally extended after ousting TDN Rising Star Albasheer (Ire) (Shamardal) for the prize. Successful in a strong renewal of the Listed Pat Eddery S. over this seven-furlong trip at Ascot last time July 25, the Richard Hannon trainee was anchored in rear early by a confident Pat Dobbs with the pace ahead searching and honest. Always travelling best looming down the outside of the pack towards the stands, the 15-8 second favourite had to accelerate to challenge Shadwell’s 7-4 market-leader at the furlong pole and outstay that rival to score by a length. Albasheer clung on to second from State of Rest (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) by a short head as they pulled 7 1/2 lengths clear of the impressive Newmarket novice scorer Mujbar (GB) (Muhaarar {GB}). “We always felt that this horse was tip-top and Pat [Dobbs] rides him at home and was in no doubt how good he thinks he is,” commented the trainer, who was capturing a third renewal since 2014. “He had to come over to find the race today, to where the other two were and he got there quite easily. I thought the first two travelled well and the first three were a long way clear of the fourth.”

Chindit had beaten Alablaq (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) by 1 3/4 lengths on debut over this course and distance July 5 and there was a direct line to Albasheer as a result, with that runner-up also finishing 6 1/2 lengths adrift of Shadwell’s exciting prospect on the day of the Pat Eddery. In that contest, Chindit took a leap forward when beating the subsequent Listed Stonehenge S. winner Cobh (Ire) (Kodi Bear {Ire}), the Convivial Maiden winner and G3 Prix la Rochette third Naval Crown (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) and the Listed Washington Singer S. scorer Saint Lawrence (Ire) (Al Kazeem {GB}). Albasheer did not appear to have any excuse in defeat here and this confirmed the upward trajectory of the winner. “That’s probably the best two-year-old race of the season so far. The second is a very good horse and the third obviously is,” Hannon added. “To find a very good horse like him with a good temperament is something you don’t get every year. This is another step up and it’s on to the [G1] Dewhurst, hopefully. That’s the plan at the moment. That’s the big race of the year and that is where we’re heading, along with [the G3 Solario S. winner] Etonian (Ire) (Olympic Glory {Ire}). His attitude and the way he behaves gives him every chance of being a horse for the 2000 Guineas–he does look a miler.”

Chindit is the first foal out of Always a Dream (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), a granddaughter of the listed-winning Out West (Gone West) whose claim to form was producing the G1 Epsom Derby and G1 Racing Post Trophy hero and successful sire Motivator (GB) and his G2 Hardwicke S.-winning full-brother Macarthur (GB) who was also third in the G1 Coronation Cup. Out West is kin to the GI Haskell Invitational H. and GI San Fernando S.-winning sire Wavering Monarch (Majestic Light). Always a Dream’s yearling colt by Awtaad (Ire) is due to sell at next month’s Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 2.
