Dark Angel’s Angel Bleu Pounces Late For Celebration Mile Triumph

Marc Chan's 2021 G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere and G1 Criterium International hero Angel Bleu (Fr) (Dark Angel {Ire}–Cercle De La Vie {Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}) had been in and out of form in eight outings since registering those career highlights as a juvenile and backed up a fourth in last month's G2 Summer Mile with a last-gasp win in Saturday's G2 William Hill Celebration Mile at Goodwood.

Fourth through halfway and scrubbed along approaching the quarter-mile marker, the 9-2 chance was afforded a dream seam underneath the stands' side rail inside the final furlong and kept on strongly under late rousting to deny 'TDN Rising Star' Knight (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) by a half-length in the dying embers. Nurlan Bizakov's slow-starting Charyn (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) made relentless headway in the straight and finished 1 1/4 lengths adrift in third.

Holy Roman Emperor’s Jadoomi Notches Goodwood Triumph

Coming back off an extended sabbatical, 2020's G1 Criterium International third Jadoomi (Fr) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}–South Sister {GB}, by Sakhee) registered a stakes breakthrough in last month's Listed Prix du Pays d'Auge at Clairefontaine when turning up for just his second outing in almost two years and continued on a rapid upward trajectory with victory in Saturday's G2 William Hill Celebration Mile at Goodwood. The 10-3 chance recovered from an early stumble and shadowed the pace in second for the most part. Scrubbed along to reduce arrears approaching the quarter-mile marker, he was unable to subdue stablemate Finest Sound (Ire) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}) until late in the day and kept on relentlessly under continued rousting to deny that tenacious rival by a neck in the dying strides.

“Both of them ran a huge race, I'm absolutely delighted and couldn't be happier,” said trainer Ed Crisford. “Jadoomi loved that ground and just outstayed them at the very end. We've got races like the [G2] Prix Dollar on Arc weekend and he is also in the [G2] Boomerang S. at Leopardstown, so I think we'll just see how he is and go from there. He likes this softer ground, so I think we'll follow the rain.”

Jadoomi becomes the 53rd pattern-race winner for his sire (by Danehill) and the first for South Sister (GB) (Sakhee), herself a winning full-sister to G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains hero Tin Horse (Ire). He is kin to a 2-year-old colt by Gleneagles (Ire), a yearling filly by Shalaa (Ire) and a weanling colt by Invincible Spirit (Ire). His second dam, G3 Prix d'Aumale victrix Joyeuse Entree (GB) (Kendor {Fr}), also produced Listed Criterium de l'Ouest winner Becomes You (GB) (Lomitas {GB}) and the dam of four-time Group winner Rubaiyat (Ger) (Areion {Ger}) and Listed Prix Amandine victrix Rose Flower (Ger) (Dabirsim {Fr}). South Sister's half-sister Fancy Intense (GB) (Peintre Celebre) is the dam of Listed Rochestown S. victor True Blue Moon (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}). Joyeuse Entree is the leading performer for Cape Of Good Hope (Fr) (Crystal Glitters), herself kin to Listed Grand Prix de Nantes third Miss Bresil (Fr) (Bellypha {Ire}). Descendants of the latter include G3 Prix de Flore winner Miss Salvador (Fr) (Smadoun {Fr}).
