Florian Guyader | Horse Racing Free Tips

Haras de la Barbottiere resident Donjuan Triumphant (Ire) (Dream Ahead) became Europe's latest first-crop sire to get off the mark when Florian Guyader trainee Snow Ghost (Fr) (Donjuan Triumphant {Ire}–Snow Spirit {GB}, by Verglas {Ire}), an €8,000 Osarus purchase last August, graduated over five furlongs in Saturday's €23,000 Prix de Gennetines at Moulins.

Handily placed behind the leaders after an alert getaway in this second start, the 24-1 outsider quickened smartly to challenge inside the final furlong and was ridden out to deny stablemate Gotta Skedaddle (Ire) (Bungle Inthejungle {GB}) by a short head.

SNOW GHOST (FR) (c, 2, Donjuan Triumphant {Ire}–Snow Spirit {GB}, by Verglas {Ire}), a Mar. 26 debut seventh over this trip at La Teste in his only prior start, was handily placed behind the leaders after an alert getaway in this straight dash. Shaken up with 350 metres remaining, the 24-1 outsider quickened smartly to challenge inside the final furlong and was ridden out in the closing stages to deny stablemate Gotta Skedaddle (Ire) (Bungle Inthejungle {GB}) by a short head in a bobbing finish, becoming the first winner for his freshman sire (by Dream Ahead). Snow Ghost is the latest of seven reported foals and second scorer produced by a multiple-winning half to dual MGSW G1 Gran Criterium third Pearl Flute (Ire) (Piccolo {GB}), Listed Prix Solitude victrix Secret Pursuit (Ire) (Lawman {Fr}) and G3 Prix Texanita second Milord's Song (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}). The January-foaled bay's second dam, G3 Stuten-Meile winner Secret Melody (Fr) (Inchinor {GB}), is a granddaughter of MGSW G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, G1 Prix de Diane and G1 Prix Saint-Alary runner-up Secret Form (GB) (Formidable).

Theresa Marnane's 2-year-old filly Have A Good Day (Ire) (Adaay {Ire}) went postward for Tuesday's G3 Darley Prix de Cabourg at Deauville returning off a fifth to the reopposing Dizzy Bizu (Ire) (Caravaggio) in Chantilly's June 6 Listed Prix La Fleche and exacted revenge on that rival as fillies dominated the six-furlong test. The February-foaled bay had opened up with five-furlong wins at Chantilly and Lyon-Parilly in April before slipping to second when upped to six furlongs for a May 28 conditions heat at Angers in her penultimate start. Have A Good Day was alert from the gates and raced in a handy third through the early fractions. Inching closer once past halfway, the 19-1 chance was rowed along passing the quarter-mile marker and ridden out once making her challenge at the eighth pole to withstand the late surge of Dizzy Bizu by a half length for a first stakes rosette. Coolmore and Westerberg's hitherto undefeated Trident (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) held every chance in the closing stages and was collared for second by a short head on the line.

“This is my first Group 3 win and I am thrilled,” proclaimed trainer Florian Guyader. “She had a problem with her mouth after being struck in her box and was not at her best last time out. We gave her plenty of time and she gave us the right signs recently. We looked at all possible races and decided with her owner to go for this one. Let's see how she comes out of this before commiting to a race. The [Aug. 22 G1 Darley] Prix Morny [over this course and distance] is a possibility.”

Winning rider Christophe Soumillon added, “The trainer seemed very confident beforehand and I had a great trip throughout. We didn't go very fast early, but I had a good position and timed my move on the horse [Trident] of [Mickael] Barzalona on the outside. She seemed to idle a bit in front, but we were clear enough to resist the late finish of the second.”

Have A Good Day, half to a yearling colt by Gustav Klimt (Ire), is the sixth of seven foals and one of two scorers produced by a half-sister to Listed Prix Djebel third Indigo Blue (Fr) (Night Shift) and G3 Concorde S. runner-up Hasanat (GB) (Night Shift), herself the dam of G3 Killavullan S. third Takrice (GB) (Cadeaux Genereux {GB}). Descendants of her third dam Mariakova (The Minstrel), herself full to the GSW dam of sires Zafonic (Gone West) and Zamindar (Gone West), are headed by G1 King's Stand S. hero Prohibit (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}).
