Australian G1SW Personal America-Bound, to Join Brown Barn

Coolmore Australia has confirmed its G1 VRC Oaks winner Personal (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) will fly to the United States Wednesday to join trainer Chad Brown's stable.

Coolmore Racing Manager Rob Archibald told Racing.com it was hoped that Personal could earn herself a shot at the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Del Mar Nov. 6.

“The fillies and mares' Breeders' Cup would be the ultimate goal but of course, she has to travel and show her form in lead-up races,” he said. “We have to thank the Hayes family and Lindsay Park for developing her into an incredible filly.”

Bought for A$640,000 as a yearling at the Inglis Easter Sale in 2019, Personal has won two of her 14 appearances and also placed in the G1 Australasian Oaks, the G1 Thousand Guineas and last season's G1 Blue Diamond S.

American Pharoah, Justify To Shuttle To Coolmore Australia For 2021 Southern Hemisphere Breeding Season

The Coolmore Australia stallion roster for 2021 sees the introduction of one of the very best proven sires in Europe and one of the very best 2-year-olds in Australia.

“We are very excited to welcome Wootton Bassett, a Group 1-winning champion 2-year-old on the track and one of the most exciting sires in Europe, to our roster.” said Coolmore Australia's sales and nominations manager, Colm Santry. “He will join Redoute's Choice's dual Group1-winning son King's Legacy, in a line-up headed by multiple champion sire Fastnet Rock, who is coming off one of the most successful seasons of his illustrious career.”

Wootton Bassett – with a first crop of only 23 foals conceived at a fee of just €6,000 – exploded on the sire scene courtesy of son Almanzor, triple Group 1-winning champion of his generation, whose first Australasian yearlings this year proved a great hit with buyers.

Wootton Bassett has also sired the likes of dual Group 1-winning filly Audarya, conceived at a fee of only €4,000, and Group 1 Prix de l'Abbaye (1000m.) winning colt Wooded, from a €6,000 fee, while his 2-year-old crop of last year included Group 2 winner and 2,000 Guineas candidate Chindit.

In such esteem is Wootton Bassett held that in Europe he currently commands a fee of €100,000 (AUS$155,000), highlighting the great value he affords Australian breeders at his introductory fee of only AUS$71,500.

King's Legacy needs little introduction, winner as he was last year of both the Group 1 Sires' Produce and Group 1 Champagne Stakes. The most accomplished juvenile of his generation, with the impeccable good looks to cost AUS$1,400,000 as a yearling, he is also the only son of Redoute's Choice ever to win multiple Group 1 races at two. Closely related to Not A Single Doubt, from the family of successful sire Snippets, King's Legacy will stand his first season at a fee of AUS$33,000.

These two new boys join a roster laden with proven Group 1 sires like Fastnet Rock, Pierro, So You Think and American Pharoah, last-named, along with Justify, U.S. Triple Crown winners at great-value fees.

With a support cast of outstanding sprinters like Yes Yes Yes and Merchant Navy, Group One Guineas winners like Churchill, Magna Grecia and Saxon Warrior joining explosive two-year-old stars like Royal Ascot Coventry Stakes winner Calyx, Blue Diamond winner Pride Of Dubai and Golden Slipper winner Vancouver, the Coolmore Australia roster really does offer a sire to suit every mare at a price for every pocket.

Adelaide – AUS$5,500

Calyx – AUS$13,750

Wootton Bassett To Stand For €100,000

Wootton Bassett (GB), one of four new sires on the Coolmore roster for 2021, will stand for €100,000 off a glittering season on the track that saw him sire two new Group 1 winners and 10 stakes winners.

Coolmore announced its purchase of Wootton Bassett in June from Haras d’Etreham, where the son of Iffraaj had stood since retiring to stud in 2012. After standing for as low as €4,000 in his third season, Wootton Bassett had been priced at €40,000 the past two seasons. Just a week after the announcement, Audarya (Fr) became Wootton Bassett’s second Group 1 winner in the Prix Jean Romanet, and she bolstered that form last weekend with a victory in the GI Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf. Meanwhile, Wooded (Fr) won the G1 Prix de l’Abbaye on Arc day, besting the defending winner and subsequent GI Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint scorer Glass Slippers (GB). Wootton Bassett’s other 2020 standouts include the G2 Champagne S. winner Chindit (Fr), GII Sands Point S. winner Tamahere (Fr), GIII Franklin-Simpson S. winner Guildsman (Fr) and G3 Prix de Fontainebleau scorer The Summit (Fr).

Coolmore also revealed on Thursday that G1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe and G1 Prix du Jockey Club winner Sottsass (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}-Starlet’s Sister {Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}) will debut at €30,000 next year. The 4-year-old, who earned over £2.4-million and is a half-brother to American star Sistercharlie (Ire) (Myboycharlie {Ire}), is one of three stallions on the Coolmore roster standing their first year at stud. Those also include three-time Group 1-winning miler Circus Maximus (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}-Duntle {Ire}, by Danehill Dancer {Ire}) at €20,000 and G2 Coventry S. winner Arizona (Ire) (No Nay Never) at €7,000.

Circus Maximus remains under consideration for the Hong Kong International races in December before retiring. The winner of the G1 St James’s Palace S. and second in the G1 Sussex S. in the summer of his 3-year-old year, the Niarchos Family’s Flaxman homebred added another Group 1 win in the Prix du Moulin that September prior to a fourth in the GI Breeders’ Cup Mile. At four, he displayed his affinity for Royal Ascot with a win in the G1 Queen Anne S., before another second in this year’s Sussex and a third in both the G1 Prix Jacques le Marois and another edition of the Prix Moulin. The bay bounced back with a close second two starts later in the Nov. 7 GI Breeders’ Cup Mile. His record stands at 17-5-3-3 and $1,881,584 in earnings.

“Circus Maximus is very tough and travels with a lot of speed,” said trainer Aidan O’Brien. “He’s that type of horse that can often make very good stallions. We’ll definitely be breeding to him.”

Circus Maximus’s sire and Coolmore lynchpin Galileo (Ire) is once again listed as private off a stellar season that saw him break the worldwide record for Group 1 winners for a sire (85) and add three new Classic winners among his nine Group 1 winners for the year: G1 1000 Guineas and G1 Oaks winner Love (Ire), G1 Irish 1000 Guineas victress Peaceful (Ire) and G1 Derby scorer Serpentine (Ire). Search For A Song (Ire) won the G1 Irish St Leger for the second straight year, while the evergreen Magical (Ire) and Mogul (Ire) were also standouts.

The vast majority of Coolmore’s proven sires receive slight fee cuts for 2021 in the midst of a difficult global economy, but one that goes up is Camelot (GB), who will stand for €45,000 next year off a season that saw him add four new Group 1 winners, including Irish Oaks scorer Even So (Ire) and Australian sensations Russian Camelot (Ire) and Sir Dragonet (Ire).

No Nay Never is the only other advertised six-figure fee on the roster aside from Wootton Bassett, and he is trimmed to €125,000 from €175,000. Fastnet Rock (Aus) will once again shuttle from Australia and will stand for €50,000 after his One Master (GB) won her third straight G1 Prix de la Foret in October.

The remainder of the roster is as follows: Australia (GB) (€25,000), Calyx (GB) (€16,000), Churchill (Ire) (€30,000), Footstepsinthesand (GB) (€12,500), Gleneagles (Ire) (€25,000), Gustav Klimt (Ire) (€4,000), Highland Reel (Ire) (€10,000), Holy Roman Emperor (Ire) (€12,500), Magna Grecia (Ire) (€18,000), Mastercraftsman (Ire) (€15,000), Rock Of Gibraltar (Ire) (€5,000), Saxon Warrior (Jpn) (€20,000), Sioux Nation (€10,000), Starspangledbanner (Aus) (€22,500), Ten Sovereigns (Ire) (€20,000), The Gurkha (Ire) (€5,000), U S Navy Flag (€12,500) and Zoffany (Ire) (€20,000).

One Master Swoops For Oak Tree Success

Lael Stable’s globetrotting One Master (GB) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) had saluted just once in 10 starts since annexing the 2018 G1 Prix de Foret, doubling up in the latest renewal of that seven-furlong test, and she went postward for Friday’s G3 Saint Clair Oak Tree S. at Goodwood as the 6-4 favourite coming back off a close-up fourth in this month’s G1 Falmouth S. at Newmarket. Settled in a midfield seventh along the rail after an alert getaway from the inside stall, she was caught in a pocket–a la Kameko in Wednesday’s G1 Sussex S.–passing the quarter-mile marker and engaged turbo after weaving a passage into second with 100 yards remaining to nail 12-1 chance Valeria Messalina (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}) by a short-head on the line for her first pattern-race success on home soil. Godolphin’s Althiqa (GB) (Dark Angel {Ire}), who sparred briefly with the eventual winner passing the furlong marker, ran on well to finish one length further adrift in third.

“That is our 30th winner in July and I get all the glory and my team do all the work,” said winning trainer William Haggas, who sits third by number of winners since racing resumed June 1. “I had a walk round this morning and I thought it was too firm for One Master. However, there is a beautiful strip of ground down to the three [-furlong pole], from the start, and there is still a little bit of give in there. I felt, drawn in stall one, she would be able to go round there on the bridle into the straight. I was fearful and I won’t be relaxed until I see her tomorrow, but she is a really genuine filly. I said to the owners last night that we’re drawn in stall one, we are going to run on the rail and ride her for luck. It is a terrible place, Goodwood, in terms of getting boxed in, but she will be on the bridle and it won’t hurt her. Tom managed to get out and it was great. She has a terrific turn of foot in this company and she has a terrific turn of foot in better company.” Haggas also revealed One Master remains on target for another defence of her Foret title on Arc weekend, adding, “We are going to York now, for a Group 2 race [Aug. 22 G2 City of York S.], and then the [Oct. 4 G1 Prix de la] Foret [at ParisLongchamp].”

“I wasn’t quite sure whether I would get there on the line, but what an exceptional performance,” said rider Tom Marquand. “To be able to pick up from where we were, she is a class apart. She has won Group 1s, but for her to show that turn of foot today on ground she doesn’t really enjoy is pretty exceptional. She has always been a filly who has needed that cover early on and it was always the plan just to sit in a little bit. William [Haggas] left it very much up to me as to how far back or forward I needed to be and the only thing he did say when he wandered round the track was that the fresh ground was all down the inside and try not to leave the paint. I played that to the furlong pole, and then thought something’s got to give at some point. It was lucky that I was on such a talented filly and how tough she was, when not really enjoying the ground, to pick up in a matter of two strides and pick off the leader. It’s a real thrill to ride a horse like that and I would love to sit on her in a Group 1 on the ground she actually loves.”

One Master’s dam Enticing (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}) had an affinity with the Sussex venue, winning both G3 Molecomb S. and G3 King George S. over the track’s five-furlong strip, and she is also the second dam of last term’s G3 Killavullan S. victress Stela Star (Ire) (Epaulette {Aus}). One Master, who has plied her trade in five different countries, is one of four winners and the lone black-type performer for her dam, who has also produced the unraced 3-year-old gelding Craved (GB) (Kodiac {GB}), the unraced 2-year-old filly Arousing (GB) (Kodiac {GB}) and a 2020 full-brother to the winner. Enticing, a half-sister to stakes-winning G3 Jersey S. second Sentaril (GB) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}), is a daughter of connections’ G1 Phoenix S. and G1 Prix de l’Abbaye runner-up and MGSW European champion juvenile filly Superstar Leo (Ire) (College Chapel {GB}).
