Undefeated Jasna’s Secret Acquired By Wathnan Racing

The undefeated Jasna’s Secret (Fr) (Galiway {GB}) has been acquired by the Emir of Qatar’s Wathnan Racing, co-trainer Yann Lerner revealed to Jour de Galop on Thursday.

Bred by Haras de Quesnay, the daughter of Orpena (Ire) (Orpen) won over six furlongs at Deauville on debut in July, and then followed up with the 1200-metre Arqana Series Criterium d’Ete on Aug. 17 in the colours of Anja Wilde and F & O Hinderze Racing.

“The filly will stay with us,” Lerner, who trains with his father Carlos, told the French publication. “It’s great that his new owner trusts us and that we have the chance to keep the filly in training. She is doing very well, and we will prepare her for October. We will decide if we will go to the G1 Qatar Prix Marcel Boussac or [the] G1 Cheveley Park S.”

Wathnan Racing has already enjoyed considerable success this season with G1 Gold Cup winner Courage Mon Ami (GB) (Frankel {GB}), G2 Queen’s Vase hero Gregory (GB) (Golden Horn {GB}), and G1 Poule d’Essai des Poulains runner-up Isaac Shelby (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), among others.

Friday’s Observations: Brother to Sealiway Starts at Sandown

Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-pedigreed horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Friday's Observations features a brother to Group 1 winner Sealiway.

14.40 Sandown, Mdn, £10,000, 2yo, 7fT
SUNWAY (FR) (Galiway {GB}) is a fascinating newcomer in a potentially informative juvenile exchange, being a full-brother to the G1 Champion S. and G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere hero Sealiway (Fr) who made €300,000 at the Arqana August Sale. Debuting for his breeder Guy Pariente and Thomas Lines, the March-foaled bay is in the hands of David Menuisier who has opted to take on some experienced rivals in the race won two years ago by Native Trail (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}). Two of them are the Charlie Appleby-trained Yarmouth fourth Inner City (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), the 1.1million gns Book 1 graduate and son of the G1 Pretty Polly S. heroine Urban Fox (GB) (Foxwedge {Aus}), and the Gosdens' Royal runner Crown Estate (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}). He is a son of the 2019 G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches heroine Castle Lady (Ire) (Shamardal) who was also fourth on debut behind TDN Rising Star Ancient Wisdom (Fr) (Dubawi {Ire}) at Haydock last Friday.

16.15 Cork, Mdn, €16,000, 2yo, f, 6fT
BRILLIANT (IRE) (Gleneagles {Ire}) is a significant debutante for Aidan O'Brien, being a half-sister to the four-times group 1-winning Sussex and July Cup heroine Alcohol Free (Ire) (No Nay Never). A 650,000gns Book 1 purchase, the April-foaled chestnut is in deep against Flaxman Stables and Coolmore's Donnacha O'Brien-trained Mysteries (Ire) (No Nay Never), a Donnacha O'Brien-trained relative of Sadler's Wells' G1 Irish 2000 Guineas hero Saffron Walden (Fr) and fellow sire Dolphin Street (Fr) who was third to Ballydoyle's TDN Rising Star Matrika (Ire) (No Nay Never) at The Curragh last month.

Galiway’s Showay Books Pouliches Ticket With Imprudence Upset

With 10 prior efforts recorded on the palmares, Le Haras de la Gousserie's sophomore distaffer Showay (Fr) (Galiway {GB}–Show Gorb {Spa}, by Caradak {Ire}) was, by some margin, the most experienced contender for Thursday's G3 Prix Imprudence at Deauville and her ringcraft told in the dying embers of a thrilling renewal. She stepped up from claiming company to twice hit the board at stakes level last term and was let go at a whopping 42-1 for this seven-furlong feature coming back off a third in Cagnes-sur-Mer's Feb. 12 Listed Prix de la Californie. The eventual winner was swiftly into stride and tracked the tempo in a handy third through the halfway mark. Last off the bridle inside the two pole, she inched ahead with 150 metres remaining and was driven out to hold the late bid of Ritournelle (Fr) (Camelot {GB}) by a head for a career high.

“We loved this filly from day one, when she ran in a claimer at Saint-Cloud, and we bought her privately at the end of last season,” explained Pauline Cheboub. “She ran well in Cagnes this winter, but had not come around yet. The two races there helped her be spot on for this race, which was our first major target, and it's mission accomplished.” Looking to Classic targets ahead, Chehboub added, “She is entered in the [May 14 G1] Poule d'Essai des Pouliches [at ParisLongchamp] and, most definitely, she is an intended runner.”
