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).

Galiway’s Sealiway Out On His Own In the Lagardere

Loving the deep ground at ParisLongchamp, Haras de la Gousserie and Guy Pariente’s Sealiway (Fr) (Galiway {GB}) proved a class apart from his rivals in a depleted renewal of the G1 Qatar Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere on Sunday. Always travelling easily under Mickael Barzalona tracking the even tempo, the 3-1 shot who was second last time in the G3 Prix la Rochette over this course and seven-furlong trip Sept. 6 was in control without being asked a question two out. Opening up on command, the chestnut drew away with relish to score by eight lengths from the 3-5 favourite Nando Parrado (GB) (Kodiac {GB}), with Laws of Indices (Ire) (Power {GB}) 3/4 of a length away in third. “I knew he could win like that–I think last time he was more surprised by the winner than beaten fair and square. It’s taken time to understand the horse, but finally we know that he’s a galloper and not a horse with a turn of foot. Today I told Mickael that I wanted a true-run race and not to be afraid to kick on early if need be. He’s a true little champion and if the owners are happy to travel with this horse he could go to the Breeders’ Cup. We will discuss that first before thinking about next year and I’m convinced he’ll be better then.”

One of the earlier domestic juveniles in action this term, Sealiway saw off the smart Xaario (Fr) (Kendargent {Fr}) by two lengths on debut over six furlongs on soft ground at Saint-Cloud May 12. Racing on going officially quicker than that on all his next four starts, he followed up under a penalty at Chantilly June 19 before finishing third behind King’s Harlequin (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) and Go Athletico (Fr) (Goken {Fr}) in the Listed Prix Roland de Chambure over this course and distance July 14. Taking Vichy by storm when scoring by five lengths in the Aug. 6 Listed Prix des Jouvenceaux et des Jouvencelles at this distance, he again came off second-best to Go Athletico in the Rochette which serves as the stepping stone to this test for the home-trained juveniles.

Despite the absence of the customary Ballydoyle representation including the intended starter St Mark’s Basilica (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}), the manner with which Sealiway ran away with this prize was impressive even allowing for the part obviously played by ground conditions. The G2 Coventry S. winner and G1 Prix Morny runner-up Nando Parrado and G2 Railway S. scorer Laws of Indices are significant benchmarks who have proven effective on a surface at least on the easy side of good, but were left behind as the winner cut loose in the straight. He rates as the most exciting colt handled so far by Frederic Rossi, who enjoyed Classic glory in June with the G1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches heroine Dream and Do (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}). With this performance, he has already usurped his smart 3-year-old stablemate Kenway (Fr) as the best progeny by the Haras de Colleville resident Galiway who is in his second season at stud.

Sealiway is a son of the Listed Prix Herod winner Kensea (Fr) (Kendaragent {Fr}), who hails from the family of the listed-placed Exit To Nowhere pair of Enjoleur (Fr) and Epicurien (Fr), the G2 Prix Malleret scorer Another Dancer (Groom Dancer) and the G3 Park Express S. winner Pollen (Ire) (Orpen). The MAB Agency stepped in for her yearling full-brother to the winner named Seagali (Fr), paying €115,000 for him at the recent Arqana Deauville September Yearling Sale.
