Gleneagles Filly Powers to German 1000 Guineas Triumph

Gestut Brummerhof's Novemba (Ger) (Gleneagles {Ire}) may have appeared to set an unsustainable pace when scooting off in front under Sybille Vogt in Sunday's G2 Wempe 101st German 1000 Guineas at Dusseldorf, but she was not for catching and powered further clear of toiling rivals to secure an impressive 7 1/2-length triumph. Vogt's enterprising tactics also yielded a first Classic success for a female rider. Novemba took two goes to shed maiden status, which she did at Hannover in August, and ran seventh in Baden-Baden's Sept. 12 G3 Zukunftsrennen before closing her juvenile campaign with a second in the Oct. 18 G3 G3 Preis der Winterkonigin back at the Iffezheim venue in her penultimate start. She tuned up for this with a fourth in the May 8 Listed Henkel-Stutenpreis over course and distance on seasonal return last time. The 107-10 chance was sharpest from the stalls and seized an immediate lead. Three lengths to the good rounding the home turn, she had all 10 rivals stretched when stoked up approaching the two pole and extended clear in style to easily account for Godolphin's French raider Sky Angel (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) by daylight, with G3 Schwarzgold-Rennen victrix Belcarra (Ire) (Estidhkaar {Ire}) deprived of second by a neck in the dying strides.

“We were quite sure she would run a good race as she had been working very well at home, but that she would put up such a performance was a pleasant surprise,” admitted trainer Peter Schiergen. “Sybille [Vogt] did everything right by deciding to take the initiative and make her own race. Novemba quite obviously enjoyed herself out there in front and she has shown us that she belongs in this class. We will continue from here, whether in Germany or France, and I will decide with the owners what to do next over the coming days. We are really happy with her.”

Novemba becomes the first Classic and seventh pattern-race winner for her sire (by Galileo {Ire}) as well as being the first black-type scorer for her stakes-winning dam Nevada (Ger) (Dubai Destination). Her stakes-winning second dam Norwegian Pride (Fr) (Diktat {GB}) produced MGSW G2 German 2000 Guineas runner-up Nordico (Ger) (Medicean {GB}) and Listed Iffezheimer Derby-Trial victor and G3 Deutsches St Leger placegetter Nordic Flight (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}). Novemba's fourth dam Turban (GB) (Glint of Gold {GB}) also produced the Listed Fern Hill H. victrix Barboukh (GB) (Night Shift), whose descendants include G3 Prix Exbury victor Barbola (Diesis {GB}) and G3 Stora Pris winner Sir Lando(GB) (Lando {Ger}). Turban is a half-sister to MG1SW sire Old Vic (GB) (Sadler's Wells) with this also being the family of the MG1SW German champion and leading sire Acatenango (Ger) (Surumu {Ger}). Nevada has the unraced 2-year-old colt Niagaro (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}) and a yearling colt by Areion (Ger) to come.

Classical Wave Tops Tattersalls Online Sale

Classical Wave (GB) (Gleneagles {Ire}) (lot 33) brought 240,000 guineas to top the fourth Tattersalls Online Sale which was held on Tuesday. The price is a new record for a colt/gelding in training on the online platform.

Purchased by Oliver St Lawrence Bloodstock from the Highfield Bloodstock draft, the 4-year-old gelding is a dual winner on the all-weather and is a half-brother to G1 Irish St Leger third Weekender (GB) (Frankel {GB}) and that gelding's full-brother Media Stream (GB) (Frankel {GB}), who was third at listed level at Saint-Cloud. The bay's second dam is the breeding-shaping blue hen Hasili (Ire) (Kahyasi {Ire}).

“He's been purchased on behalf of Fawzi Nass with the Bahrain International and the King's Cup next year in mind,” said Oliver St Lawrence. “He looks a progressive horse and he may have a run or two in Britain over the summer.”

“It's the first time I've used Tattersalls Online and I found the whole process very easy and efficient,” St Lawrence added.

Crimbourne Bloodstock Ltd. offered the 6-year-old mare Vegas Blue (Ire) (Getaway {Ger}) (lot 2), and Coolmara Stables made the winning bid of 75,000gns. A winner of a National Hunt flat listed race, the daughter of Bella Venezia (Ire) (Milan {GB}) is in foal to Nathaniel (Ire), who just celebrated the win of G2 Prix Hocquart victor Bubble Gift (Fr) on Monday.

Overall, 19 lots sold of 26 offered for a gross of 493,800gns. The average was 25,989gns and the median was 10,500gns.

“The Tattersalls Online platform continues to grow with a new record for a colt/gelding in training of 240,000 guineas for Classical Wave and a head-to head battle between Middle Eastern and Australian interests,” said Tattersalls Chairman Edmon Mahony. “The number of interested bidders continues to increase as does the quality and quantity of the horses on offer. This is only the fourth Tattersalls Online Sale and the positive response from both vendors and purchasers is encouraging for the future development of Tattersalls Online Sales which have already clearly demonstrated their appeal to domestic and international buyers.”

Gleneagles Colt Takes the Greffulhe

Fit from an Apr. 3 10 1/2-furlong conditions heat triumph at Saint-Cloud, Jean-Louis Bouchard's 3-year-old colt Baby Rider (Fr) (Gleneagles {Ire}) was back over that course and distance to win Saturday's G2 Prix Greffulhe. He had earlier bettered a Sept. 3 debut second tackling one mile at ParisLongchamp with an Oct. 16 maiden score back over that trip at Fontainebleau in his only other starts. Settled second early by Stephane Pasquier–in this staging post for Chantilly's June 6 G1 Prix du Jockey Club won by Study of Man (Ire) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) in 2018–the Pascal Bary-trained 3-1 second choice began to get the upper hand over the long-time leader Smile Makers (Fr) (Kendargent {Fr}) from the furlong pole and battled to a neck success, with 11-10 pick Martial Eagle (Ire) (Adlerflug {Ger}) 2 1/2 lengths behind in third.

“His debut second last year, behind a future Group 3 winner, was very good indeed,” said trainer Pascal Bary. “I was slightly disappointed by his second start, which I thought he would win more easily, but he didn't handle the course too well at Fontainebleau. He had come on a lot on for his first win of the year when he won a conditions race here. He is easy to train, he has a lovely temperament and I think there is more improvement to come. He is a legitimate contender for the [June 6 G1] Prix du Jockey Club [at Chantilly].” Owner Jean-Louis Bouchard added, “All credit goes to Pascal Bary and to Gerard Larrieu, who selected him at the sales, and the jockey put the last touch nicely. It was a perfect team effort and the dream is still alive.”

Baby Rider, half-brother to a yearling filly by Cracksman (GB), becomes the fifth pattern-race winner for his sire (by Galileo {Ire}) and marks the first black-type scorer for Listed Prix Ceres third Gyrella (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}), herself one of four stakes performers out of G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches placegetter Ysoldina (Fr) (Kendor {Fr}). Ysoldina, whose leading performer is G1 Epsom Derby hero Wings of Eagles (Fr) (Pour Moi {Ire}), is herself kin to G1 Prix Saint-Alary heroine Belle et Celebre (Fr) (Peintre Celebre), MGSW Scandinavian champion and three-time G3 Stockholm Cup victor Appel Au Maitre (Fr) (Starborough {GB}) and MGSW G2 Premio Lydia Tesio and G2 Prix Jean Romanet victrix Whortleberry (Fr) (Starborough {GB}).
