Dark Angel’s Mangoustine Denies Cachet In the Pouliches

Tony Parker's Infinity Nine Horses was in the limelight at ParisLongchamp on Sunday as the Mikel Delzangles-trained Mangoustine (Fr) (Dark Angel {Ire}) denied Cachet (Ire) (Aclaim {Ire}) the G1 1000 Guineas-G1 Emirates Poule d'Essai des Pouliches double in a frantic finale. Having surrendered her unbeaten record when third in the course-and-distance G3 Prix de la Grotte Apr. 17, last year's G3 Prix Miesque winner was back on track where it mattered under one of the world's most journeyed and accomplished jockeys in Gerald Mossé. Settled behind the leading quartet early despite being caught wide, the 10-1 shot swooped on the leader Cachet with a furlong remaining and it was nip-and-tuck from there to the line. When it came, the Newmarket Classic heroine was rallying gamely but the grey still had a head to spare, with Times Square (Fr) (Zarak {Fr}) closing in with every stride to finish a short head away in third in a blanket finish. “We didn't get cover but I thought, 'don't panic' and she really gave me a good feel and fought to the line. The English filly was tough, but she had kept something in the locker,” Mossé said. “When you ride one on a day like this, with that crowd, it reminds me of the old days. For the time being, I'll keep riding and keep my training licence in my pocket.”

Trained by Frederic Rossi last term, Mangoustine who was a €46,000 purchase by David Redvers at the 2020 Arqana Deauville September Yearling Sale was three-for-three with a Deauville introduction followed by Lyon-Parilly's Listed Criterium de Lyon over a mile and Chantilly's G3 Prix Miesque at seven furlongs. Sharpened by her return in the Grotte, she was able to draft close up in the initial stages of this race which acted as a precursor of what was to come in the Poulains. With the eventual first three in the first five early on, the front end was the place to be at ParisLongchamp on Sunday and it is to the winner's credit that she gave the 1000 Guineas winner a two-length headstart before running her down. Her penultimate furlong of 10.82 was the fine margin which told in the end as the first eight were covered by just over two lengths.

Delzangles is thinking of Royal Ascot for the winner now. “We hadn't planned to be where we were, but she was very relaxed and it was a good pace,” he said. “I wasn't surprised that she was beaten in her trial, as she was well but not at 100%. She needed a bit of time to come out of the winter and everything looked perfect after the Grotte. A mile is her distance, so she might go to the [G1] Coronation.”

George Boughey said of the gallant runner-up, who was not asked to race as hard early as she had been at Newmarket, “She ran a blinder. She was tenacious again there and did the donkey work and battled back when they joined her. I'm sure there are other races in her and it's a huge compliment to her just two weeks after the Guineas. The draw possibly cost us, as she had to give up a little bit of ground from that and she'll go to the Coronation now.”

Mangoustine, whose 2-year-old half-brother by Zoustar (Aus) was a 35,000gns Book 2 purchase by Sam Sangster Bloodstock, is out of a half-sister to another Pouliches heroine in Flotilla (Fr) (Mizzen Mast), who also annexed the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. Her dam Zotilla (Ire) (Zamindar), who also has a filly foal by Too Darn Hot (GB), is a daughter of the GIII Miesque S. winner Louvain (Ire) (Sinndar {Ire}) and therefore a half to the Listed Prix Right Royal winner Big Five (GB) (Frankel {GB}) and the stakes-winning Louvakhova (Maria's Mon). She is in turn the dam of G3 Gallinule S. winner Crossfirehurricane (Kitten's Joy) and the Listed Patton S. winner My Generation (Speightstown).

Louvain is a daughter of the listed-winning sprinter Flanders (Ire) (Common Grounds {GB}), who also finished runner-up in the G2 King's Stand S. before producing the G1 Haydock Sprint Cup winner G Force (Ire) (Tamayuz {GB}). She is a half-sister to the dam of the G1 Diamond Jubilee S. and G1 July Cup-winning sire Lethal Force (Ire) by Mangoustine's sire Dark Angel, while this is also the family of the G1 Prix Morny runner-up Family One (Fr) (Dubai Destination) and the G2 Rockfel S. winner Juliet Capulet (Ire) also by Dark Angel.

Nathaniel’s Bubble Gift Gets Up Late In The Niel

Zak Bloodstock's G2 Prix Hocquart victor Bubble Gift (Fr) (Nathanial {Ire}), last seen finishing sixth to Hurricane Lane (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) in ParisLongchamp's July 14 G1 Grand Prix de Paris, was yet another weekend winner subjected to the rigours of a stewards' enquiry and doubled his pattern-race tally after an inquest in to Sunday's G2 Prix Niel back at the Bois de Boulogne venue. The 22-5 chance, who also posted a runner-up finish in Chantilly's June 20 G3 Prix du Lys in his penultimate start, was the last of five into stride and employed patient tactics from the outset of this 12-furlong Arc trial. Bustled along in early straight, he made continued headway into second entering the final furlong and stayed on relentlessly under a late drive to oust familiar foe Baby Rider (Fr) (Gleneagles {Ire}) by a nose on the line.

“That was close and I thought he'd finished second, so it was a nice surprise when the result was announced,” said winning trainer Mikel Delzangles. “He was in very good condition leading up to this comeback and I expected him to run a really good race. He's in the [Oct. 3 G1 Prix de l'] Arc [de Triomphe back over this course and distance], but it will probably be an extremely tough race. We'll not make any decision just yet and I'll go home and discuss plans with the owners.”

Pascal Bary was similarly non-committal on the plans for runner-up Baby Rider and added, “It's tough to lose it on the line, but he ran a great race. He's in the Arc and I shall talk to the owner before coming to a final decision.”

Bubble Gift is the last known foal bred from Bubble Back (Fr) (Grand Lodge), whose five winners include G3 Darley S.-winning G1 Prix du Jockey Club second Bubble Chic (Fr) (Chichicastenango {Fr}), last week's G3 Prix Gladiateur victor Bubble Smart (GB) (Intello {Ger) and Listed Prix Charles Laffitte second Queen Bubble (Ire) (Layman). Queen Bubble is the dam of Listed Prix Delahante and Listed La Coupe de Marseille scorer King Bubble (Ire) (Kendargent {Fr}). Bubble Back is a half-sister to Listed Prix Maurice Caillault victrix Anacarde (Fr) (Anabaa Blue {GB}) and is a granddaughter of Rive du Sud (Nureyev), herself the dam of G3 Prix des Reservoirs winner Comillas (Fr) (Kaldoun {Fr}) and the second dam of G1 Prix Jean Prat hero Rouvres (Fr) (Anabaa) and GIII Jaipur S. victor Right One (Fr) (Anabaa). Bubble Gift's stakes-winning fourth dam Riviere Doree (Secretariat) is a daughter of MG1SW G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches heroine Riverqueen (Fr) (Luthier {Fr}).

Frankel’s Rumi Gets Up In The Nonette

It was as tight as it gets at the finish of the 10-furlong G2 Prix de la Nonette at Deauville on Saturday, with Rumi (Fr) (Frankel {GB}) inching out Penja (Fr) (Camelot {GB}) as the home-trained fillies came out on top again as they had been in the Calvados earlier on the card. Coming in off a break having finished sixth in the G1 Prix Saint-Alary at ParisLongchamp May 24 and ninth in the G1 Prix de Diane at Chantilly June 20, Al Shira'aa Farms' Apr. 11 G3 Prix Vanteaux winner tracked the pace closely on the inside as Gerald Mosse saved ground throughout. Challenging between rivals inside the last 50 metres, the 35-1 outsider had her nose down on the line to deny the G3 Prix de Psyche scorer Penja as Rougir (Fr) (Territories {Ire}) joined in with a flourish down the outside to be a short neck off them in third. “She had run only once as a 2-year-old and was moderate first time out this year, but in hindsight it was a little bit too early to be bringing her back,” trainer Carlos Laffon-Parias said. “After her fight in the group 3, she was maybe not prepared for all that and lacked freshness and experience in her next races. She wasn't really disgraced in the Diane and was running on at the end, so I gave her a good break and she'd been working well and was very fresh so it was probably what she needed. We'll target the [G1 Prix de l'] Opera [at ParisLongchamp Oct. 3]–we have seven weeks, so that's plenty of time and we'll see how she goes there before the owners decide if they want to keep her in training as a 4-year-old.”

Rumi, who cost €700,000 at the 2019 Arqana Deauville August Yearling Sale, is out of Secrete (Fr}) (Cape Cross {Ire}) whose first foal was the G3 Prix Noailles third Normandy Eagle (Ire) (New Approach {Ire}) and whose third is the Listed Bluebell S. scorer Solage (GB) by Frankel's sire Galileo (Ire). The second dam is the Wertheimers' Featherquest (GB) (Rainbow Quest), a half-sister to Groom Dancer who was responsible for the G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud heroine Plumania (GB) (Anabaa) and the G2 Prix de Royallieu winner Balladeuse (Fr) (Singspiel {Ire}). Plumania produced three black-type performers headed by the G2 Prix du Muguet winner Plumatic (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), as well as the dam of the Listed Prix Zarkava scorer and G1 Prix Saint Alary third Solsticia (Ire) (Le Havre {Ire}), while Balladeuse is also the dam a trio of that ilk including the G1 Prix Vermeille heroine and G1 Prix de Diane runner-up Left Hand (GB) also by Dubawi. Secrete, who is also linked to the G1 Poule d'Essai de Poulains-winning sire Falco (Pivotal {GB}), has a 2-year-old colt by Galileo (Ire) and a yearling colt by Roaring Lion with the latter selling to David Redvers for €100,000 at this week's Arqana Deauville August Yearling Sale.

Kendargent’s Skalleti Annexes Munich Feature in Style

Jean-Claude Seroul's highly dependable 6-year-old grey Skalleti (Fr) (Kendargent {Fr}) posted a career best in ParisLongchamp's G1 Prix d'Ispahan when last seen at the end of May and doubled his elite-level tally with an impressive five-length triumph in Sunday's G1 Grosser Dallmayr-Preis – Bayerisches Zuchtrennen over 10 furlongs at Munich. Last term's G1 Champion S. runner-up had also annexed this term's G3 Prix Exbury and G2 Prix d'Harcourt in an unbeaten start to the campaign and was sent postward as the heavily supported 3-10 favourite to continue that trend. Skalleti adopted his usual hold-up tactics from the break and settled last of the six nominees as last term's G3 Preis der Deutschen Einheit victrix Tabera (GB) (Gleneagles {Ire}) established a clear lead by halfway. Stirred into action by Gerald Mosse off the home turn, he displayed a smart turn of foot to go second inside the quarter-mile marker and opened up in style once sweeping by the wilting Tabera entering the final furlong to easily outclass last term's G1 Grosser Preis von Berlin fourth Grocer Jack (Ger) (Oasis Dream {GB}) by daylight. Last term's G3 Schwarzgold-Rennen winner No Limit Credit (Ger) (Night of Thunder {Ire}) was another to swamp Tabera in the closing stages and stayed on from off the pace to finish a neck back in third.

“It is always difficult to remain patient when waiting at the back, but I had just the horse for the job and was able to pick the right time to go,” said Gerald Mosse. “I was comfortable with the leader going clear because my main objective was to remain in touch and not to have to ask him for too much by being too far back. He's a great horse, I knew we'd get there and he didn't have to push himself to do so. It's a great team effort, we keep winning big races and I'm more than happy.”

Winning trainer Jerome Reynier added, “We have sent more horses to Germany this year, without being able to win any races yet, and we are so happy to win our first one in this great, prestigious race. Skalleti struggled to come back after everything went wrong in Hong Kong last year and we were not expecting such a comeback in the [G3] Prix Exbury in March. He has been impressive ever since, that's his second victory at the highest level and he's a very special horse for all of us.” Looking ahead to a second attempt at Ascot's Oct. 16 G1 Champion S., Reynier continued, “Now we have to take the right decisions to bring him spot on for the Champion S. in mid-October in England, but we're not sure if we're going to use the [Oct. 2 G2] Prix Dollar, which is only two weeks prior to the race, first. We did that last year and he finished first in the Dollar and second in the Champion.”

Skalleti, recording his ninth pattern-race victory here, is the second foal bred from MGSP Listed Prix Occitanie victrix Skallet (Fr) (Muhaymin). He is a full-brother to this year's G2 Prix Vicomtesse de Vigier winner Skazino (Fr), Listed Prix du Ranelagh placegetter Skalleto (Fr) and the hitherto unraced 2-year-old colt Skalli (GB). Skallet is the leading performer out of Listed Le Vase d'Argent runner-up Siran (Fr) (R.B. Chesne {GB}), herself kin to Listed Derby du Languedoc victor Percent Premium (Fr) (Johann Quatz {Fr}). Skalleti's fourth dam La Manouche (Margouillat {Fr}) is kin to the stakes-winning Mousseline de Soie (Fr) (Riverman), herself the dam of three black-type winners headed by stakes-winning G2 Grosser Hertie-Preis von Deutschland runner-up Silk Stage (Stage Door Johnny) and whose descendants include Listed Woodlawn S. victor Termsofengagement (Private Terms).
