Leger Glory For Dubawi’s Eldar Eldarov

On a bonanza day for the TDN Rising Stars, KHK Racing Ltd's Eldar Eldarov (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) swooped to conquer in Sunday's feature G1 Cazoo St Leger at Doncaster. Settled in mid-division early by David Egan, the Roger Varian-trained 9-2 joint-second favourite who captured the G2 Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot June 15 was delivered wide in the straight to overhaul the 11-8 market-leader New London (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) and the supplemented Haskoy (GB) (Golden Horn {GB}) approaching the furlong pole. Staying on strongly to the line, the bay who had finished behind Onesto (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) and Simca Mille (Ire) (Tamayuz {GB}) in the July 14 G1 Grand Prix de Paris when last seen had two lengths on Juddmonte's filly there as New London eventually rallied to be half a length away in third. A few minutes later, Haskoy was demoted to fourth by the stewards, making New London the new runner-up. Giavellotto (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) was promoted to third.

Dubawi’s Kubrick Pounces For G3 Prix des Chenes Triumph

White Birch Farm's 2-year-old colt Kubrick (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}–Rosa Bonheur, by Mr. Greeley) backed up a July 24 debut second going seven furlongs at Dieppe with a breakthrough triumph at Deauville last month and continued on the upgrade by turning back a strong Irish challenge in Thursday's G3 Prix des Chenes at ParisLongchamp. The eventual winner employed patient tactics from flagfall and was settled sixth, at the tail of the field, through halfway. Making continued headway under pressure in the home straight, the 31-10 second favourite quickened to gain a slender advantage with 100 metres remaining and was ridden out in the dying embers to assert by a neck from Coolmore and Westerberg's hithero unbeaten Adelaide River (Ire) (Australia {GB}) for a first black-type success.

“He is a nice, uncomplicated horse, we like to see them finish the way he did and it is very promising for the future,” commented trainer Jean-Claude Rouget. “He is an easy horse to train, he is easy to ride and a real pleasure to deal with. He could be a horse for next year's French [2000] Guineas, but first we will try to run him in the [G1] Criterium International at Saint-Cloud if all is well with him.”

Kubrick, the seventh of eight foals, becomes the third scorer produced by Listed Prix de la Cochere runner-up Rosa Bonheur (Mr. Greeley), herself a daughter of G2 Prix Robert Papin victrix Rolly Polly (Ire) (Mukaddamah). The April-foaled homebred bay is a half-brother to GI Hollywood Derby, GI Shoemaker Mile and GI Maker's Mark Mile hero Raging Bull (Fr) (Dark Angel {Ire}) and a yearling filly by No Nay Never.

Dubawi’s Mimikyu Wins The Park Hill

Providing a timely boost to Saturday's St Leger protagonist Haskoy (GB) (Golden Horn {GB}), George Strawbridge's Mimikyu (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) dominated Thursday's G2 Coral Park Hill Fillies' S. at Doncaster. Only seventh behind that Juddmonte homebred in the Aug. 18 Listed Galtres S. at York, the 13-2 shot raced in last early with Frankie Dettori happy to track the 6-4 favourite Eshaada (GB) (Muhaarar {GB}). As that rival went stand's side at the top of the straight, the John and Thady Gosden-trained 3-year-old stayed up the centre and produced a surge to overhaul the Shadwell runner passing two out en route to a 2 3/4-length success, with Eshaada's stablemate Believe In Love (Ire) (Make Believe {GB}) another two lengths behind in third.

Daughter Of Dank Debuts At Salisbury

Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-pedigreed horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Thursday's Observations features a daughter of Breeders' Cup heroine Dank (GB) (Dansili {GB}).

2.50 Salisbury, Mdn, £24,000, 2yo, f, 6f 213yT
DOOM (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) is the fourth foal out of the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf and GI Beverly D. S. heroine Dank (GB) (Dansili {GB}), who is also a half to the top-level scorers Eagle Mountain (GB) (Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}) and Sulk (Ire) (Selkirk). James Wigan's April-foaled homebred debuts for the William Haggas stable in this valuable Bob McCreery Memorial British EBF Quidhampton Maiden Fillies' S. which has a habit of playing host to future pattern-race winners.

 

3.10 Haydock, Novice, £10,000, 2yo, c/g, 7f 212yT
CASTLE WAY (GB) (Almanzor {Fr}) shaped with abundant promise when second in a Newmarket maiden last month and is arguably the one to take out of that race which has hosted Motivator (GB), Frankel (GB), Roaring Lion and Coroebus (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) in the past. Godolphin's Charlie Appleby-trained 425,000gns Book 1 graduate and half-brother to the high-class multiple Group 1-winning Palace Pier (GB) (Kingman {GB}) encounters a William Haggas-trained newcomer in Garden Route (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), a son of the G1 S A Nursery winner Cloth Of Cloud (SAf) (Captain Al {SAf}) from the family of Artie Schiller (El Prado {Ire}) who represents Magnier/Shanahan/Nagle/Kantor.

 

5.37 ParisLongchamp, Debutantes, €27,000, 2yo, f, 8fT
CHASING THE SUN (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) was a €600,000 purchase at the Arqana Deauville August Yearling Sale by virtue of the fact that she is a half-sister to the G3 Prix de Lieurey winner and G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and G1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp-placed Wind Chimes (GB) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}). Stepping out in the Qatar Racing silks who own 50% in partnership with Ecurie Des Monceaux, the Andre Fabre-trained chestnut encounters a pair of Wertheimer newcomers in the Carlos Laffon-Parias-trained Carvana (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}), a half-sister to the G1 Prix Saint-Alary heroine Queen's Jewel (GB) (Pivotal {GB}), and Kovattack (Fr) (War Front), a Christophe Ferland-trained daughter of the G1 Prix Vermeille winner Galikova (Fr) (Galileo {Ire}).
