Dubawi’s Agave Too Good For Listed Prix Rose de Mai Rivals

Juddmonte's hitherto unbeaten 3-year-old filly Agave (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) accounted for subsequent Listed Grand Criterium de Bordeaux victrix Singforthemoment (Ire) (No Nay Never) when breaking through over one mile contesting a Sept. 2 debutantes' heat at ParisLongchamp in her only prior start and lined up for this stakes bow as the 6-5 favourite. Employing patient tactics in rear until turning for home, the May 15 G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and June 19 G1 Prix de Diane entry made smooth headway out wide to challenge with 300 metres remaining and quickened in style under mild coaxing in the closing stages to easily outclass Ondulee (Ire) (Adlerflug {Ger}) by three lengths for a career high.

“Agave looked a promising filly when she won first time out at ParisLongchamp last year and the form of that race has proved strong since,” said Juddmonte's on-course representative. “We're delighted with the win today and her jockey [Olivier Peslier] was also delighted with the performance. Andre Fabre will now discuss her future with Barry Mahon and the family and the [Apr. 2 G3] Prix Penelope back here is a logical target.”

Agave is the second of four foals and lone scorer out of G2 Prix de Pomone and G3 Prix Allez France placegetter Contribution (GB) (Champs Elysees {GB}), herself kin to a trio of black-type performers headed by dual G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe heroine Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}). The February-foaled bay is half to a 2-year-old filly by Golden Horn (GB) and a yearling filly by Study of Man (Ire). Her stakes-winning second dam Concentric (GB) (Sadler's Wells) ran third in the G3 Prix de Flore and is out of G3 Prix de Royaumont victrix Apogee (GB) (Shirley Heights {GB}). Descendants of Apogee include MGSW sire Apsis (GB) (Barathea {Ire}), MGSW G1 Prix de Diane runner-up Dance Routine (GB) (Sadler's Wells) and MGISW US champion and sire Flintshire (GB) (Dansili {GB}).

Snow Lantern Retired; To Visit Dubawi

The Keswick Family's homebred G1 Falmouth S. winner Snow Lantern (GB) (Frankel {GB}) has been retired from racing and will be covered by Dubawi (Ire) this season.

Trained by Richard Hannon, as was her Classic-winning dam Sky Lantern (Ire) (Red Clubs {Ire}), Snow Lantern was second in her lone start at two. With Hannon making no secret of the level at which he regarded the filly, Snow Lantern won on seasonal debut at Newbury last April, earning 'TDN Rising Star' status. After finishing third as the favourite in the Listed Michael Seely Memorial S. at York, Snow Lantern was second to Alcohol Free (Ire) (No Nay Never) in the G1 Coronation S. at Royal Ascot before getting her Group 1 in the Falmouth over G1 1000 Guineas winner Mother Earth (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}), Alcohol Free and Lady Bowthorpe (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}). Snow Lantern was third behind Alcohol Free and the G1 2000 Guineas and G1 St James's Palace S. winner Poetic Flare (Ire) (Dawn Approach {Ire}) in the G1 Sussex S. and fourth in ParisLongchamp's G1 Prix du Moulin, and disappointed when last in the G1 Sun Chariot S. in October.

Snow Lantern's resulting foal will be bred on the reverse of the Frankel over Dubawi cross that has produced three stakes winners from 29 named foals, including last year's G1 Derby winner Adayar (GB) and Godolphin's G1 Jebel Hatta scorer Dream Castle (GB).

The Keswicks' advisor Ed Sackville said, “We felt that Snow Lantern has done her job. She's a Group 1 winner and we're aware that Dubawi isn't getting any younger and we're very keen to send her to Dubawi. It's kind of a no-brainer because the Derby winner was by Frankel out of a Dubawi mare. Physically, she'll suit Dubawi; she's a mare with plenty of size and scope.”

Sky Lantern was selected by Sackville for the Keswicks for €75,000 from Goffs Orby in 2011. She won the G1 Moyglare Stud S. at two and the G1 1000 Guineas, G1 Coronation S. and G1 Sun Chariot S. at three. Sky Lantern's first three foals are winners, headed by Snow Lantern. Her 3-year-old colt First Emperor (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) is unraced but is in training with Donnacha O'Brien, while her 2-year-old Kingman (GB) colt who sold to Oliver St Lawrence on behalf of Bahraini clients for 625,000gns at Tattersalls October Book 1 is with John and Thady Gosden. Sky Lantern has a yearling colt by Kingman, is currently in foal to Frankel and will visit Snow Lantern's sire again this season.

Sackville said the Keswicks are focused on quality in building their commercial operation.

“The Keswick family have studied the business models of commercially successful studs and are seeking to replicate that with the emphasis on quality,” he said. “Keeping the fillies and selling the colts is the most recognizable way to achieve this.”

Sky Lantern isn't the only member of the Keswicks' boutique broodmare band at Rockcliffe Stud who will visit Frankel this season; she will be joined by Canton Queen (Ire) (Shamardal), a winning granddaughter of the champion filly Queen's Logic (Ire) (Grand Lodge) from the deep family of Classic winners Dylan Thomas (Ire), Homecoming Queen (Ire) and Serpentine (Ire). Canton Queen, like Sky Lantern, is currently in foal to Frankel.

The listed-winning and group-placed Pepita (Ire) (Sir Prancealot {Ire}) is in foal to Kingman (GB) and set to visit him again, while the group-placed Black Cherry (GB) (Mount Nelson {GB}) and her listed-placed daughter Little Rollright (GB) (Dutch Art {GB}) are headed to Ireland to visit Dark Angel (Ire) and Kodiac (GB), respectively. Black Cherry is currently in foal to Night Of Thunder (Ire), while it will be the first mating for Little Rollright.

Also headed to Ireland for Coolmore sires are Marsh Hawk (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), dam of the winning and listed-placed Mohawk King (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}); and the three-time winning Tai Hang Dragon (Ire) (Tamayuz {GB}). Marsh Hawk is in foal to Wootton Bassett (GB) and will visit No Nay Never, while Tai Hang Dragon is the reverse: she is currently in foal to No Nay Never and will visit Wootton Bassett.

The winning Pivotal (GB) mare Raincall (GB), a daughter of Australian Group 1 winner Lone Rock (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) from a deep Group 1 family Down Under, is in foal to Mehmas (Ire) and visits Ardad (Ire) in 2022.

Yibir Caps Off Huge Eclipse Night for Godolphin

Godolphin homebred Yibir (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) was part of trainer Charlie Appleby's incredible success with Transatlantic shippers in 2021, as he annexed the Jockey Club Derby Invitational S. before flying home late to take the GI Longines Breeders' Cup Turf against elder rivals. That was enough to lock up the champion turf male Eclipse on Thursday.
