Rogue Millennium Will Be Supplemented to The Oaks

Rogue Millennium (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), who won the May 7 Listed SBK Oaks Trial Fillies' S., will be supplemented to the G1 Cazoo Oaks on June 3, trainer Tom Clover confirmed. The daughter of Group 3 winner Hawaafez (GB) (Nayef) was bred by the late Sheikh Hamdan's Shadwell Estate Company and the owners The Rogues Gallery will pay the £30,000 supplementary entry fee required to contest the Epsom Downs showpiece. The filly, purchased for only 35,000gns out of the Tattersalls December Mares Sale in 2021, won at Wetherby on debut last month.

Clover said, “Rogue Millennium is a lovely filly that deserves her chance to be in the Oaks and it is now very much the plan to go to Epsom. We discussed it several times and both the owners and I are keen to go there.

“For any young trainer to have a horse like her bred by Sheikh Hamdan going for the Oaks is very special. Sheikh Hamdan is part of the sport's heritage and he had so many successes with my late father-in-law Michael Jarvis including winning the Oaks with Eswarah (GB) (Unfuwain) [in 2005].

“To have the chance to train a filly for the Oaks from the same place Sheikh Hamdan won the race with my late father-in-law Michael Jarvis is really exciting.

“I don't believe we are going there simply to have a runner but because we have a chance. I hope she can make both us and The Rogues Gallery team proud.”

Added Clover, “Having a runner in a Classic is something new to us and now the focus is on getting the filly there in the best possible shape we can. It is exciting but we just want a smooth run.”

Dubawi’s Rogue Millennium Pounces Late For Oaks Trial Success

The Rogues Gallery's Rogue Millennium (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}–Hawaafez {GB}, by Nayef), who was plucked from the Shadwell operation for 35,000gns as an unraced 2-year-old at last year's Tattersalls December Mares sale, graduated over 10 furlongs in an Apr. 24 Wetherby maiden and punched her ticket to Epsom's June 3 G1 Cazoo Oaks with a narrow victory in Saturday's Listed SBK Oaks Trial at Lingfield. The February-foaled bay has yet to be entered for next month's Classic and connections are keen to stump up the £30,000 supplementary fee for the privilege. Settled off the pace in sixth for the most part, the 15-2 chance was coaxed forward once into the home straight and was unrelenting under a drive inside the final quarter mile to nail the pacesetting Mystic Wells (Kitten's Joy) by a head on the line for a career high. Coolmore and Westerberg's 5-6 favorite Emily Dickinson (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) raced prominently and threatened in the straight, but faded late to finish fifth.

“She's by the right sire and we decided, before coming here, that if she won she would be added to the Oaks field,” explained trainer Tom Clover. “She's still green and has improved with each piece of work. I actually feel a little guilty about asking her to go to Epsom, but we have to go. She's just flourished and I hope she can continue to progress. The owners [Rogues Gallery] are great sporting people, who absolutely adore it. Whether it's an owners' event or a day trip to watch the horses, their enthusiasm is boundless.” Winning rider Jack Mitchell added, “She was rolling about a bit coming down the hill, but once she levelled out she was strong right the way to the line.”

Rogue Millennium becomes the first black-type winner for G3 Cumberland Lodge S. victrix Hawaafez (GB) (Nayef), herself the leading performer bred from Merayaat (Ire) (Darshaan {GB}). Merayaat's second dam Wedding Bouquet (Ire) (Kings Lake) scored twice at pattern-race level, namely the G3 Park S. and GIII Monrovia H., and also ran second in both G1 Phoenix S. and G1 National S. during her juvenile campaign. Wedding Bouquet is kin to G1 Epsom Derby hero Generous (Ire) (Caerleon {GB}) and G1 Epsom Oaks heroine Imagine (Ire) (Sadler's Wells), herself the dam of five pattern-race winners headed by G1 Grand Criterium victor Horatio Nelson (Ire) (Danehill) and G1 Criterium International winner Van Gogh (American Pharoah). Wedding Bouquet is also the granddam of MG1SW distaffer and three-time G1 Prix Maurice de Gheest heroine Moonlight Cloud (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}). Hawaafez has a 2-year-old filly by Awtaad (Ire) and a yearling filly by Kingman (GB) to come.

Kingman Colts Catch The Eye On Saturday

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. Saturday's Observations features a pair of Kingman (GB) colts at Naas.

2.50 Naas, Cond, €22,000, 2yo, 5f 205yT
AGE OF KINGS (IRE) (Kingman {GB}) is the first foal out of the G2 May Hill S. winner Turret Rocks (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) who debuts for Westerberg and Coolmore and Ballydoyle in the race won three years ago by Siskin (First Defence). A 1.1million gns purchase at the Book 1 Sale, the February-foaled bay encounters Flaxman Stables Ireland's Yosemite Valley (GB) (Shamardal), a half-brother to the fellow Donnacha O'Brien-trained G3 Ballysax S. winner Piz Badile (Ire) (Ulysses {Ire}). They will have to be sharp to deal with The Aga Khan's Curragh third Shartash (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), a Johnny Murtagh-trained son of the dual G2 Blandford S. scorer Shamreen (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}).

2.55 Ascot, Novice, £15,000, 2yo, 5fT
NOBLE STYLE (GB) (Kingman {GB}) is another unraced son of the Juddmonte sensation, this time representing Godolphin and Charlie Appleby in the race won 12 months ago by Go Bears Go (Ire) (Kodi Bear {Ire}). A 525,000gns Book 1 graduate, the March-foaled progeny of the Listed Boadicea S. winner Eartha Kitt (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) is up against Amo Racing Limited's fellow newcomer Walbank (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}), the 2022 Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up Sale topper also at 525,000gns who represents the David Loughnane stable of last year's winner.

4.35 Naas, Mdn, €12,000, 3yo/up, f/m, 7fT
OPULENT (IRE) (Dubawi {Ire}) is the fourth foal out of the G1 Irish Oaks heroine Bracelet (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}) from the incredible family of Galileo (Ire) and Sea the Stars (Ire) which also boasts Montjeu's Wading (Ire) and her close relative Athena (Ire) (Camelot {GB}). Joseph O'Brien saddles Coolmore and Westerberg's newcomer, who will be tested by Juddmonte's Ezine (GB) (Showcasing {GB}), a Dermot Weld-trained half-sister to Sangarius (GB) (Kingman {GB}) who chased home Tuesday (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) on debut in March.

Book 1 Sensation Out Early At Newmarket

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. Sunday's Observations features a pricy son of Dubawi (Ire).

1.15 Newmarket, Mdn, £15,000, 2yo, 5fT
SYNDICATED (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) is a surprise runner on breeding in this sharp juvenile test, being an April-foaled son of J Wonder (Footstepsinthesand {GB}), the full-sister to Chachamaidee (Ire) (Footstepsinthesand {GB}) who captured the G3 Fred Darling S. and G3 Oaks Tree S. for Andrew Rosen. Andrew Balding had a bright 2021 with his juveniles and it will be interesting to see how this 450,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 graduate, who races for Rosen and Myracehorse, fares with Royal Ascot on the horizon.
