Cotai Glory’s Tiger Belle Purrs In Paris

Ado McGuinness trainee Tiger Belle (Ire) (Cotai Glory {GB}–Dark Acclamation {Ire}, by Acclamation {GB}) made a stakes breakthrough in July's Listed Marwell S. at Naas and followed up with a career high in Thursday's G3 Prix d'Arenberg to punch her ticket to the G1 Prix de l'Abbaye back over ParisLongchamp's five-furlong strip on Arc weekend.

Sharply into stride to claim an immediate lead racing along the fence, the generously priced 9-1 chance poached a decisive edge with 300 metres remaining and kept on relentlessly under mild urging inside the final furlong to hold the late bid of Dawn Charger (Ire) (Soldier's Call {GB}) by an ultimately snug neck. Graceful Thunder (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}) was the same margin back in third as foreign raiders filled the first four slots home.

“The gate was a huge factor, we wanted to take advantage of that and she's toughed it out really well,” said assistant trainer Stephen Thorne. “Cristian [Demuro] is a prolific rider here in France, he came highly recommended and he's done exactly what we've asked him to do. She's a straightforward ride, she's got a lot of gate speed and we used that to her advantage. She did the job over a stiff five [furlongs] on soft ground in Naas the last day, she's added another string to her bow and it opens up more doors for her now. We have a huge bunch of owners supporting the filly here today and we're delighted. It was a big team effort to get her here in good shape, we have to work up the grades and we have her entered for the [G1 Prix de l'] Abbaye. She's not overly big, but she's got a big heart and we might be back here on Arc weekend.”

Pedigree Notes
Tiger Belle is the second of four foals and lone performer produced by a daughter of Listed Woodcote S. third On The Dark Side (Ire) (Kheleyf), herself a half-sister to G3 Select S. victor Red Badge (Ire) (Captain Rio {GB}). The April-foaled bay is half to a yearling colt by Inns Of Court (Ire) and a weanling colt by Galileo Gold (GB). She hails from the family of G1 Fillies' Mile victrix Red Bloom (GB) (Selkirk), MG1SW sire Ibn Bey (GB) (Mill Reef) and G1 Yorkshire Oaks heroine Roseate Tern (GB) (Blakeney {GB}).

Havana Grey’s Lady Hollywood In Charge At ParisLongchamp

Amo Racing And Omnihorse Racing's Lady Hollywood (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}) had failed to see out the six furlongs of York's G2 Lowther S. when down the field last time Aug. 18, but back over five she was able to dominate ParisLongchamp's G3 Prix d'Arenberg on Thursday. Racing close to the early pace under Mickael Barzalona, the 4-1 shot was committed passing the two-furlong pole and led soon after en route to a 1 1/4-length verdict over Vicious Harry (Fr) (Harry Angel {Ire}). “She's a very fast filly,” trainer Alice Haynes said after greeting her first group winner. “She didn't quite stay the six furlongs last time and we'll probably end up at the Breeders' Cup [Turf Sprint]. She's had a lot of racing, so we'll give her a little break now.”

This was the second black-type win for the chestnut, who had beaten the leading Irish sprint fillies Mauiewowie (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}) and Treasure Trove (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}) in the Listed Marwell S. at Naas July 20 having won at Lingfield June 25 and at Beverley July 12. She also provides Whitsbury Manor Stud's first-season sire sensation with a breakthrough first group win as he continues to pour it on in the race for the bragging rights among the newblood sires.

The winner is the last known foal out of a relative of Momalorka (GB) (Dutch Art {GB}), who was the Filly Triple Crown winner in Qatar and finished third in the G3 Firth of Clyde S. The family also features the G1 Queen Elizabeth II S.-winning sire Where Or When (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}).

Fillies Star in Thursday Action

Andrew Balding is looking forward to saddling Jeff Smith’s Newbury novice scorer Alcohol Free (Ire) (No Nay Never) in Thursday’s G3 Shadwell Dick Poole Fillies’ S. at Salisbury. One of 14 juvenile fillies set to line up for the six-furlong contest, for which she is due to break from the outside stall, the bay is held in high regard by her Kingsclere handler. “The filly has huge potential,” he said. “The draw could have been a little kinder. We’re stuck out on the wing again, but she’s a filly we think a lot of, so I’d hope she’d run very well.” Withdrawn from Goodwood’s G3 Prestige S. on Saturday, the McMurray Family’s Happy Romance (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}) stays at the six-furlong trip over which she captured York’s Goffs UK Premier Yearling S. Aug 20, having won the five-furlong Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury July 19, while Ralph Beckett puts forward Qatar Racing’s June 28 Listed Empress Fillies’ S. scorer Time Scale (GB) (Charm Spirit {Ire}).

At ParisLongchamp, the G3 Prix d’Arenberg over five furlongs sees Wesley Ward try to pull off a group-race double with another filly in Stonestreet Stables’ unbeaten Aug. 2 Colleen S. winner Wink (Midshipman). With the stable’s Campanelle (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) having put Livachope (Fr) (Goken {Fr}) in his place in the G1 Prix Morny at Deauville Aug. 23, Ward has a line to Alain Jathiere, Alain Chopard and Guy Pariente’s bay who reverts to the trip over which he excelled when winning the June 14 Listed Prix la Fleche at Chantilly and July 2 G3 Prix du Bois here.
