Carolina Reaper Too Hot For Baden-Baden Rivals, Third Group Winner For Too Darn Hot

Gallop Racing's G3 Sweet Solera S. fifth Carolina Reaper (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}–Dark Promise {GB}, by Shamardal) lined up as the 9-5 favourite for Wednesday's 150th Renate & Albrecht Woeste Zukunfts-Rennen at Baden-Baden, Germany's first juvenile Group-race contest of the year, and became the third pattern-race winner for her freshman sire (by Shamardal) with a last-gasp triumph in the seven-furlong Iffezheim feature.

The March-foaled bay had earlier registered a sixth over the same trip in Royal Ascot's Listed Chesham S., before breaking through at Newmarket in her penultimate start, and was settled off a solid early tempo in eighth. Coming under pressure when slipping one spot on the home turn, she made headway out wide in the straight to launch her bid underneath the stands' side rail passing the furlong pole and stayed on in relentless fashion to secure a career high by a neck in the dying strides. Jean-Pierre Carvalho trainee Schutzenzauber (Ger) (Amaron {GB}) finished second, a half-length in front of West Man (Ger) (Areion {Ger}), in a thrilling three-way tussle for the prize.

“It was a tough race for her,” said winning rider Jack Mitchell. “In England, she's very sharp and she can make the running, but today she just didn't want to. I had to ride her differently, wherever she was happy, and she just did enough for me.”

Pedigree Notes

Darley's Too Darn Hot now leads his European first-season sire class in the group winners category with his trio of fillies. The list also features G3 Sweet Solera S. winner Fallen Angel (GB) and G3 Prestige S. victrix Darnation (Ire). Carolina Reaper is the seventh of nine foals and one of four winners produced by Listed Rosemary S. victrix Dark Promise (GB) (Shamardal), herself half to four black-type performers headed by G1 Oaks heroine Love Divine (GB) (Diesis {GB}). Love Divine's trio of stakes performers includes G1 St Leger-winning sire Sixties Icon (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) while another half-sister, Love Excelling (Fr) (Polish Precedent), is the dam of dual G1 Singapore International Cup and G1 Champions Mile hero Dunboyne Express (Ire) (Shamardal). The leading performer out of Carolina Reaper's third dam Maryinsky (Northern Dancer) is G1 Champion S. and G1 Premio Roma-winning sire Legal Case (Ire) (Alleged). The March-foaled bay is kin to a yearling colt by New Bay (GB) and a weanling filly by Time Test (GB).

Sioux Nation’s Lakota Sioux On Top In The Sweet Solera

Gallop Racing's 2-year-old distaffer Lakota Sioux (Ire) (Sioux Nation–Shemiyla {Fr} {GSW-Fr, $169,373}, by Dalakhani {Ire}) bounced back off a third in Royal Ascot's Listed Chesham S. to secure a career high in Saturday's G3 Jewson Sweet Solera S. at Newmarket, becoming the second black-type winner for her freshman sire (by Scat Daddy). She had earlier debuted with a May 20 third at Haydock before plundering a May 30 Lingfield maiden by 6 1/2 lengths in her penultimate start. The 10-3 second favourite was swiftly into stride and raced in a prominent third through the early fractions of this pattern-race bow. Cruising to the front in the centre of the track approaching the quarter-mile marker, she was driven along at the foot of the hill and kept on strongly under continued urging in the latter stages, all the while swishing her tail, to prevail by 3/4-of-a-length from Dandy Alys (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}). Lakota Sioux's victory was a fifth in the contest for the Johnston stable.

“Every time I see her in the paddock I think how the hell did I buy her for £15,000 as she is a gorgeous filly,” said Charlie Johnston. “She was difficult to break in early on and I remember it vividly as she was one of our worst problem children in the winter. The tail [swishing] has been a theme from day one. Joe Fanning has ridden her in most of her work, but he and every jockey that has ridden her does not come in and say she is not trying. You can't question her attitude there and she toughed it out well. This has been the plan since [Royal] Ascot and I thought this track would be ideal for her. “The [G2] May Hill [at Doncaster] looks the spot for her and, how she has finished there, maybe we should stick to seven [furlongs]. There is the [G2] Rockfel [at Newmarket's Rowley Mile track], but she is also in the [G1] Moyglare [at the Curragh].”

Lakota Sioux is the seventh of eight foals and one of six scorers from as many runners out of G3 Prix Allez France victrix Shemiyla (Fr) (Dalakhani {Ire}). The March-foaled bay is a half-sister to stakes-winning G1 Sydney Cup runner-up Sheraz (Fr) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) and a yearling colt by Blue Point (Ire). Shemiyla, a half-sister to the dam of G1 Grand Prix de Paris hero Shakeel (Fr) (Dalakhani {Ire}), is out of Listed Prix Madame Jean Couturie winner Shemala (Ire) (Danehill), herself one of four black-type performers produced by G1 Prix de Diane heroine Shemaka (Ire) (Nishapour {Fr}).
