First Black-Type Winner For New Bay at Doncaster

There was a first black-type winner for the Ballylinch Stud-based New Bay (GB) (by Dubawi {Ire}) on Friday as Marc Chan’s New Mandate (Ire) got up close home in Doncaster’s Listed bet365 Flying Scotsman S. Keen early for Frankie Dettori restrained towards the rear of the group racing up the centre, the Aug. 23 Sandown nursery winner who was sent off at 17-2 found a gap up the far rail to wear down Laneqash (GB) (Cable Bay {Ire}) in the final strides for a head success, with the 5-4 favourite One Ruler (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) 2 1/2 lengths back in third. The dam, who also has a filly foal by Camacho (GB), is a half-sister to Puggy (Ire) (Mark of Esteem {Ire}) who was third in the G2 Rockfel S. and the G3 Polar Cup and runner-up in the Listed Oh So Sharp S. Her daughter Avenir Certain (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}) achieved fame by completing the revered G1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches-Prix de Diane double, while this family of Warrsan (Ire) (Caerleon) and Queen’s Trust (GB) (Dansili {GB}) also features the G2 Richmond S. and G2 July S.-winning red-hot first-season sire Mehmas (Ire).

Noble Mission’s Spanish Mission On Top In the Doncaster Cup

Tackling near two and a quarter miles for the first time, Team Valor and Gary Barber’s Spanish Mission (Noble Mission {GB}) excelled at the trip to win Friday’s G2 bet365 Doncaster Cup and stake his claim as a major player in the staying category. Always travelling easily in fifth for William Buick, the 6-4 favourite who had won the Aug. 20 Listed Chester S. after his move to Andrew Balding loomed alongside Selino (GB) (Champs Elysees {GB}) with purpose having already travelled two miles. Sent into the clear from there, he surged to a three-length success from that rival, with the long-time leader The Grand Visir (GB) (Frankel {GB}) four lengths adrift in third. “He was over-racing at stages, but he was never really doing too much,” Buick said. “He was always going to come into the race easily, it was just whether he’d see it out and he did see it out very well. He’s got that bit of class against these stayers, that turn of foot. That together with his stamina is a good combination. I’m sure all those races will be on his radar. Who knows, potentially next year he might even make up into a Gold Cup horse.”

Coming to the fore when beating that solid yardstick Nayef Road (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) by four lengths in Newmarket’s 13-furlong G3 Bahrain Trophy in July, Spanish Mission was third behind him in Goodwood’s G3 Gordon S. before annexing the Jockey Club Derby Invitational at Belmont in September. Second to this stable’s Dashing Willoughby (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) in Sandown’s G3 Henry II S. over two miles July 5, the bay was sixth on his final start for David Simcock in the July 28 G1 Goodwood Cup before his confidence-restoring three-length defeat of Selino on his bow for Kingsclere at Chester. Repeating that form to the exact margin here, he entered into the picture for the G2 QIPCO Long Distance Cup at Ascot. “That is really the only race for him if he is going to run again this year, but the ground might have gone too soft for him by then, so we’ll see,” Balding said.

The first foal out of the listed-winning dam Limonar (Ire) (Street Cry {Ire}) was the Listed Rose Bowl S. winner and G2 Gimcrack S. runner-up Mokarris (More Than Ready). She is a half-sister to the GI Shoemaker Mile winner Talco (Fr) (Pivotal {GB}) from the family of the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas hero Bachelor Duke (Miswaki) and the G1 National S.-winning sire Fatherland (Ire). Her 3-year-old filly Dame Iris (Medaglia d’Oro) is unraced, while her yearling colt by Mastery is due to sell on Thursday at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale. She has been bred to Uncle Mo this year.

Kodiac’s Ubettabelieveit Takes the Flying Childers

Bouncing back from a last-place finish in the G2 Gimcrack S. at York Aug. 21, the July 16 Listed National S. winner Ubettabelieveit (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) edged out Sacred (GB) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) in a thriller to capture Friday’s G2 Bombardier Flying Childers S. at Doncaster. Drawn widest, the bay who was sent off at an inflated 40-1 raced in rear of the group racing up the centre early before moving to the fore approaching the furlong pole. Gaining a narrow advantage over that 11-10 favourite with 150 yards remaining, he drifted right but was always holding her to score by a short head, with Measure of Magic (Ire) (Kodi Bear {Ire}) 1 1/4 lengths away in third. Ridden by Rowan Scott, the winner was providing the burgeoning jockey with an instant breakthrough. “I’m delighted to get a group winner so soon after riding my claim out,” he said. “The horse did it very well, he didn’t make it easy for himself, but it’s happy days. It was a big race so I wanted to do everything right, but you have to treat it like another race.”

Successful by 3 1/2 lengths in a course-and-distance novice contest June 30, Ubettabelieveit went up the ladder again with success in the National also at this trip at Sandown July 16 before pulling his chance away and flopping in the Gimcrack. Trainer Nigel Tinkler had kept the faith and his stable star had a suitably strong pace to aim at in this race which was swerved by the G2 Norfolk S. winner The Lir Jet (Ire) (Prince of Lir {Ire}) due to the drying ground. “He showed how good he was in the National Stakes–he’s a very, very good horse,” he said of the latest longshot to win a juvenile pattern race in 2020. “Last time, I probably shouldn’t have run him over six there. He ran too keen and the ground was horrific. Everything went wrong, but luckily Oisin Murphy looked after him. How he was 40-1 I don’t know–it was probably because I train him! Unbelievable. You’re always wondering at this time of year, but he was working well and this is brilliant. He was given a fantastic ride.”

Tinkler revealed that he is yet to be tempted by a tilt at the G1 Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp, where he will receive a sizeable weight-for-age allowance. “There’s a one per-cent chance he could run in the Abbaye,” he added. “He wouldn’t run there if it was soft, but that’s the one race you’d have to possibly think about. It’s one per-cent, because it might be soft by then. We’ll see how he is–the ground would have to be no worse than good.”

Ubettabelieveit’s dam Ladylishandra (Ire) (Mujadil) had already produced a trio of black-type winners, which makes it all the more remarkable that he was available for just 50,000gns at the Tattersalls October Book 1. They are Harlem Shake (Ire) (Moss Vale {Ire}), who took the G3 Premio Omenoni, Tropical Paradise (Ire) (Verglas {Ire}) who annexed the G3 Oak Tree S. and G3 Supreme S., and Shenanigans (Ire) (Arcano {Ire}) who had her day in the sun in the Listed Rothesay S. and was also third in the G3 Princess Elizabeth S. and G3 Hoppings S. The family includes the sires Jim French, Ajdal, Formidable and Caesour. Ladylishandra’s yearling filly by Galileo Gold (GB) is catalogued in the upcoming Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale.

American Pharoah’s Pista Best In the Park Hill

Proving her stamina for 14 furlongs when winning Leopardstown’s Listed Vinnie Roe S. Aug. 13, Scott Heider’s Pista (American Pharoah) overcame inexperience to follow up in a competitive renewal of Doncaster’s G2 bet365 Park Hill Fillies’ S. on Thursday. Anchored in last early by William Buick, the 6-1 shot was delivered towards the stand’s side to gain the lead in the final 100 yards and despite running away from the whip scored by 1 1/2 lengths from Vivionn (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), with the 11-8 favourite Believe In Love (Ire) (Make Believe {GB}) half a length away in third. “She had a lovely profile coming in and I thought she did it well–she’s a good, staying filly,” the winning rider said. “I thought the race was there for an improver to come through and she was that one horse. She was in a nice rhythm and is an uncomplicated filly.”

Pista was off the mark by 6 1/2 lengths over a mile and a half in soft ground at the Galway festival Aug. 2 before upstaging Saturday’s G1 St Leger protagonists Sunchart (GB) (Teofilo {Ire}) and Dawn Patrol (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in the Vinnie Roe. Trainer Joseph O’Brien could have a week to remember if Galileo Chrome (Ire) (Australia {GB}) can deliver in Saturday’s main event. “I thought William gave her a great ride,” he said. “I was a little worried, because she was a little bit further back than we’d planned for most of the way and she ran around a bit in the straight, but she’s got a big engine. She’s a tall filly, so hopefully she’ll progress next season. There’s a nice fillies’ race on Arc weekend [the G1 Prix de Royallieu] that might suit her now if she comes out of this well.”

Pista is the first foal out of the Niarchos-bred Mohini (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), who is a daughter of the operation’s G1 Prix Marcel Boussac heroine Denebola (Storm Cat). Also runner-up in the G1 Prix de la Foret, she is the second dam of the G1 Prix de Diane winner Senga (Blame) and is a granddaughter of the famed G1 Prix Morny and G1 Prix de la Salamandre heroine Coup De Genie (Mr. Prospector). That links the winner to the high-class half-siblings Bago (Fr) (Nashwan) and Maxios (GB) (Monsun {Ger}), with seven group 1 wins between them and the former the 2004 European champion 3-year-old colt courtesy of his exploits in the G1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, G1 Prix Jean Prat and G1 Grand Prix de Paris. Mohini’s 2-year-old full-sister to the winner is named Ishtar (Jpn), while she also has a yearling filly by Kitasan Black (Jpn).
