Highclere Thoroughbred Racing | Horse Racing Free Tips

Progeny of The National Stud's freshman sire Aclaim (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}) had yet to post a breakthrough score, but that statistic was cast aside as Highclere Thoroughbred Racing's Cachet (Ire) powered to a taking debut success over six furlongs in Saturday's Betway British EBF Fillies' Novice S. at Newmarket. Breaking sharply to occupy a forward slot in second through the initial fractions, the 4-1 chance cruised to the front hard on the steel approaching the final quarter mile and powered ever clear, under minimal urging, up the hill to easily outclass Godolphin's Before Dawn (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) by an impressive 5 1/2 lengths.

“She is a lovely, big, scopey filly and her work has been good,” said trainer George Boughey. “She has been working away with other winners and older horses that have been running well. This doesn't come as huge surprise as she is a filly that is quite near the top of the pile at the moment. We will speak to Harry [Herbert], but she looks like the type of filly for the [June 18 G3] Albany [at Royal Ascot]. She came from the Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Up sale and if she wins at Royal Ascot there is a £125,000 bonus. She has got a very good mind and we have done plenty of work with her, but we've only had her a few weeks.”

Cachet, a first winner for Aclaim (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}), also becomes the first winner for her dam Poyle Sophie (GB) (Teofilo {Ire}), herself a half-sister to the dam of GIII San Francisco Mile victor Whisper Not (GB) (Poet's Voice {GB}). Her third dam Poyle Fizz (GB) (Damister) is responsible for G2 Lowther S. victrix Jemima (GB) (Owington {GB}), who in turn is the dam of three stakes performers headed by multiple stakes scorer English Colony (GB) (Rock of Gibraltar {Ire}). From a family featuring G2 Haydock Sprint Cup-winning sire Runnett (GB) (Mummy's Pet {GB}), Cachet is half to a yearling filly by Kuroshio (Aus).

Last month’s G2 Dante S. winner Thunderous (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}) will sit out the rest of his 3-year-old campaign after picking up an injury while training. Trained by Mark Johnston for Highclere Thoroughbred Racing, Thunderous has won four of his five starts and bettered the highly regarded Highest Ground (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) by a neck in the Dante. Thunderous was preparing for a run in the Sept. 13 G1 Grand Prix de Paris.

“Sadly Thunderous has met with an injury in training and it is something we are going to run out of time for getting him back this year,” said Highclere’s Harry Herbert. “It is really disappointing as the horse has just improved hand over fist this season. Winning the Dante was fantastic, but at the same time you want to be competing in these Group 1 races, which he was about to do.

“Horses like this are hard to get, but we will have an exciting performer on our hands next season–just sadly it wasn’t to be for the rest of this year. We are now looking forward to him competing in all of the top mile-and-a-quarter and mile-and-a-half races next year.”
