Freshman Sire New Bay Off the Mark at Newbury

Ballylinch Stud resident New Bay (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) became the latest freshman sire to strike when the appropriately named Charlie Fellowes trainee First Prophet (Ire) overcame greenness in Friday evening’s It’s Not Rocket Science With MansionBet EBF Novice S. at Newbury.

6th-Newbury, £6,400, Nov, 6-12, 2yo, 7fT, 1:27.03, gd.
FIRST PROPHET (IRE) (c, 2, New Bay {GB}–Lus Na Greine {Ire}, by Pour Moi {Ire}) was swiftly into stride and raced up front in a prominent third through halfway in this debut. An ominous presence to his rivals throughout, the well-backed 18-5 third choice remained hard on the steel until passing the quarter-mile marker and, despite rolling around briefly in front passing the eighth pole, quickened clear of toiling rivals under mild rousting in the closing stages to score by an impressive 1 1/2 lengths from Al Watan (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), becoming the first winner for his Ballylinch Stud-based freshman sire (by Dubawi {Ire}). “He jumped smartly, but we didn’t go particularly quick and we travelled nicely in a decent enough rhythm,” said winning rider James Doyle. “Charlie [Fellowes] told me he’d see out the trip nicely so I was keen to get him on the move early and he found plenty and did it nicely. He’s pencilled in for the [Listed] Chesham S. [at Royal Ascot] next week and we’ll see how he comes out of this, but he’s a relaxed character and didn’t have a hard race there.” Half to a yearling colt by Belardo (Ire), First Prophet is also the first winner for Lus Na Greine (Ire) (Pour Moi {Ire}), herself a half-sister to G3 Park Express S. victress and G1 Irish 1000 Guineas runner-up Rehn’s Nest (Ire) (Authorized {Ire}). His third dam Key To Coolcullen (Ire) (Royal Academy), a half-sister to G1 Phoenix S. heroine Eva Luna (Ire) (Double Schwartz {Ire}) and GSW sire Cois Na Tine (Ire) (Double Schwartz {Ire}), produced the stakes-placed Coolcullen Times (Ire) (Rock of Gibraltar {Ire}) and is also the second dam of G1 G1 Criterium International hero Loch Garman (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}). Sales history: €50,000 Ylg ’19 TIRSEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $5,217.

Night of Thunder’s Qaader Gets Rising Star Tag at Newbury

Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s Qaader (Ire) (Night of Thunder {Ire}), a €44,000 Goffs February purchase turned 110,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 yearling, had his supporters as the 10-3 joint-favourite for Friday evening’s MansionBet Proud To Support British Racing EBF Novice S. at Newbury. The March-foaled bay was prominent throughout the six-furlong test and gave little cause for concern, powering clear of overmatched rivals to earn ‘TDN Rising Star’ status in style. Qaader was quickly into stride to race in a leading wave of three spread across the track through halfway. Last off the bridle inside the two pole, he quickened to seize control approaching the final eighth and was not for catching thereafter, despite drifting left towards the far-side rail in the closing stages, hitting the line an impressive four lengths clear of Running Back (Ire) (Muhaarar {GB}).

“We didn’t go particularly quick and it took a while for the penny to drop, but he picked up really well and gave me the feel of a really nice horse,” said winning rider Jim Crowley. “He will get further, but he could also have sharpened up for that as well so I don’t know about targets. Maybe it could be the [June 20 G2] Coventry, but we’ll wait and see what connections want to do. He won nicely and there are sure to be plenty of options for him.”

Qaader, half-brother to a yearling filly by Footstepsinthesand (GB), becomes the first winner from three runners for Redinha (GB) (Dansili {GB}), herself kin to the dual stakes-placed So Smart (Ger) (Selkirk). His second dam So Squally (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}) is an unraced full-sister to GI Breeders’ Cup Turf, G1 Coronation Cup and G1 Deutsches Derby hero Shirocco (Ger), MGSW G2 Gerling-Preis victor Subiaco (Ger) and the stakes-winning G1 Deutschland-Preis runner-up Storm Trooper (Ger). So Squally is kin to five black-type winners all told and she is also a full-sister to the dam of three-time stakes winner Swacadelic (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}) and last term’s G3 Anglesey S. hero Roman Turbo (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}).

Freshman Sire Awtaad Off the Mark at Kempton

Derrinstown Stud-based freshman sire Awtaad (Ire) (Cape Cross {Ire}) got off the mark when Sheikh Rashid Dalmook Al Maktoum’s Live Stream (Ire) annexed Friday’s British Stallion Studs EBF Fillies’ Novice S. over six furlongs at Kempton.

2nd-Kempton, £6,400, Nov, 6-12, 2yo, f, 6f (AWT), 1:12.70, st/sl.
LIVE STREAM (IRE) (f, 2, Awtaad {Ire}–Fluvial {Ire}, by Exceed and Excel {Aus}) was positioned in a close-up third along the fence after a sharp getaway in this debut. Shaken up approaching the quarter-mile marker, the the 7-2 chance quickened to challenge passing the eighth pole and ran on strongly in the closing stages to assert by 1 1/4 lengths from Mutahamisa (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), becoming the first winner for her Derrinstown Stud-based freshman sire (by Cape Cross {Ire}). “I rode her at home last week, she put in a nice piece of work and she’s a smart filly,” said winning rider PJ McDonald. “She has a good turn of foot and we were pretty confident, bar it being her first time. It is always the same when you are riding those nice fillies, the space opens up for you and everything went perfect. She travelled well, but froze a little when I got after her at first and then, inside that last furlong, she got going.” Half-sister to a yearling colt by Ribchester (Ire), the February-foaled bay is the fourth foal and second scorer out of a winning half-sister to four black-type performers headed by G2 Queen Mary S. victress and G1 Phoenix S. third Elletelle (Ire) (Elnadim), herself the dam of GI Secretariat S. and G1 Cox Plate-winning sire Adelaide (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Sales history: €48,000 Ylg ’19 GOFOR. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $5,217.
