Two Group-Winning Wild Cards Added to the Arc Sale Catalogue

Two group winners have been added to the Arc Sale–set to go on Saturday, Sept. 30 at Saint-Cloud–in Jack Darcy (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}) and Freville (Fr) (Gleneagles {Ire}).

Consigned by Barton Sales as lot 15, Jack Darcy, the G3 Glorious S. runner-up, is out of a half-sister to Group 1 winners Elmaamul (Diesis {GB}) and Reams of Verse (Nureyev). This is the close family of champion, six-time Group 1 heroine Midday (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}).

Freville, lot 25, conditioned by Christopher Head, found success in the G3 Prix d'Aumale at ParisLongchamp in early September and the juvenile filly hails from the female family of Linamix (Fr) (Mendez {Fr}). She will be offered with her entry in the G1 Prix Marcel Boussac-Criterium des Pouliches, where she is considered one of the favorites for the contest.

ParisLongchamp: Fabre Preps Duo For Autumn Targets

   Ahead of the weekend's thrillers, Thursday offers the warm-up with the G3 Prix des Chenes and G3 Prix d'Aumale acting as stepping stones for the major 2-year-old contests of the autumn. Fabre's 10 wins in the Chenes and six in the d'Aumale mean that his representation has to be taken seriously and the former, which is restricted to the males of the generation, sees him saddle Baron Edouard De Rothschild's TDN Rising Star Alcantor (Fr) (New Bay {GB}). Taking on Julien Dubois and Jean-Philippe Dubois' G3 Prix Francois Boutin winner Grey Man (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), the homebred who looked cut from Classic cloth on his Saint-Cloud debut is unbeaten at seven furlongs or further with his only blip coming over an inadequate six at Chantilly in July.

In the d'Aumale, Mlle Moliere (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) steps up to the plate for De Rothschild and Ecurie Skymarc Farm and the master of Chantilly. She was impressive when doubling her tally in Deauville's 7 1/2-furlong Prix du Mezeray conditions event at last month's festival and is one of five of the seven fillies holding unbeaten records. They include Shadwell's Alshinfarah (Ire) (Noble Mission), who has won at Doncaster and Haydock and accounted for the impressive subsequent winner Remaadd (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}) in the latter contest.

Trainer Kevin Philippart De Foy is hoping for a bold show from the half-sibling of the classy Raabihah (Sea The Stars {Ire}) moving up to a mile. “The family stayed much further and her half-sister ran over a mile and a half in the Arc,” he said. “Noble Mission stayed further as well, so I'm not worried about running over a mile and the ground should suit her. She travelled over there well and it will be interesting to see her against a stronger field.”

Churchill’s Blue Rose Cen Powers To G3 Prix d’Aumale Success

Yeguada Centurion's homebred 2-year-old filly Blue Rose Cen (Ire) (Churchill {Ire}–Queen Blossom {Ire}, by Jeremy), who followed up wins at Saint-Cloud in June and at Clairefontaine in July with a runner-up finish in Deauville's Aug. 20 Listed Criterium du Fonds Europeen de l'Elevage in her latest start, made her experience tell in Thursday's G3 Prix d'Aumale at ParisLongchamp and surged to a career high in the one-mile fillies' test. The 13-5 second favourite was steadied to track the leaders in third after an alert getaway. Coming under pressure to reduce arrears approaching the quarter-mile marker, she quickened in stylish fashion to hit the front passing the eighth pole and was ridden out in the latter stages to account for British raider Heavenly Breath (GB) (Dark Angel {Ire}) by an ultimately comfortable 1 1/2 lengths.

“She is so tough and genuine and has never let us down,” said winning trainer Christopher Head. “She was beaten by a good horse [Victoria Road] last time and was facing only fillies this time, so we were hopeful. Aurelien [Lemaitre] gave her the perfect ride, she handled the softer ground very well and she now deserves to take her chance in the [G1 Prix] Marcel Boussac. She takes her racing so well that I have no doubt that she will be ready on the day.” Reflecting on the performance of 'TDN Rising Star' Left Sea (GB) (Frankel {GB}), Carlos Laffon-Parias added, “Unfortunately, she tied up [in the straight] which explains why she has run like that.”

Blue Rose Cen is the lone foal out of G3 Park Express S. and GIII Santa Barbara S. victrix Queen Blossom (Ire) (Jeremy), herself the leading performer produced by G3 Silver Flash S. third Mark Of An Angel (Ire) (Mark Of Esteem {Ire}). Mark Of An Angel, in turn, is a granddaughter of dual South African Grade 3 winner and G1 Gosforth Park Fillies & Mares Challenge third Grey Angel (GB) (Kenmare {Fr}).

Shamardal’s Fleur d’Iris Leads Home Fabre Exacta in Paris

Fresh from the familiar routine of a record-setting exercise in the G3 Prix des Chenes, master trainer Andre Fabre worked to rule and equalled the lauded Francois Boutin's haul of six with Godolphin's 2-year-old filly Fleur d'Iris (GB) (Shamardal) in Thursday's G3 Prix d'Aumale at ParisLongchamp. The homebred bay had earlier posted a July 7 debut fourth at Chantilly, breaking through at the expense of the reopposong Txope (Fr) (Siyouni {Ire}) in a Compiegne conditions heat later that month, and went postward as the 17-10 favourite for this G1 Prix Marcel Boussac pointer coming back off a runner-up finish in Deauville's Aug. 21 G2 Prix du Calvados. Out front and in control for most of the one-mile contest, she was nudged along when threatened passing the quarter-mile marker and was ridden clear before gearing down to allow stablemate and Marcel Boussac entry Zellie (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) reduce arrears to a flattering 1 1/2-length proximity at the line. Christophe Ferland trainee Bahasa (Ire) (Siyouni {Ire}) finished 1 1/4 lengths back in third.
