Malakeh Seeking Third Straight Victory In Woodbine’s Nassau Stakes

Malakeh, a five-year-old daughter of Harbour Watch (IRE), goes after her third straight score in Saturday's Grade 2 $175,000 Nassau Stakes, at Woodbine.

Bred by Gestut Gorlsdorf, the bay mare will make her first start in Canada when she goes postward in the one-mile E.P. Taylor Turf Course engagement that has drawn seven hopefuls. Trained by Graham Motion, who won last year's Nassau with Secret Message, the ultra-consistent Malakeh will shoot for the natural hat trick on Saturday.

After a polished performance to close the curtain on her 2019 campaign last August at Saratoga, Malakeh opened up her current season with another win, a gutsy neck score over firm going at Churchill Downs on May 22. Both victories came at the mile distance.

“I think we've decided that this is what she likes to do, distance-wise,” said Motion, who is closing in on 2,500 career wins. “I don't see why [Woodbine turf] wouldn't suit her. I'm sure it's in great shape.”

After a third-place debut at Chantilly in March 2018, the British-bred, owned by Heider Family Stables, Madaket Stables and Michael Kisber, headed to Germany for her next four engagements. Malakeh broke her maiden in her second German start, an efficient head score in the one-mile Henkel Stutenpreis on April 29, 2018.

She made her North American debut last April, finishing second, just a head back of the winner, in the one-mile race at Keeneland. In her next start, on May 24 at Belmont, Malakeh won by a neck at 1 1/8-miles. She arrives at the Nassau with a 4-3-2 record from 10 starts.

“She's so honest,” praised Motion. “To be truthful, I couldn't believe when I ran her in the allowance race at Keeneland that she was beaten. It turns out she was beaten by a pretty serious filly [Juliet Foxtrot]. So, I was very confused about her form right away because I liked her so much, that I couldn't imagine her not sailing through that condition. But it's funny how things work out. She's never run a bad race, really. She's very consistent and hard-trying.”

It was something that Motion discovered early on.

“When she was working in Florida last winter, she was very impressive.”

The Nassau is the first leg of Woodbine's Ladies of the Lawn Series, which offers $75,000 in bonuses to the top performers based on points accumulated in the designated graded turf routes for fillies and mares.

The series also includes the $175,000 Dance Smartly Stakes (Grade 2, on August 15), the $250,000 Canadian Stakes (Grade 2, September 12) and the $600,000 E.P. Taylor Stakes (Grade 1, October 18), which will serve as the series' final leg.

Eight horses have won the Nassau twice, including Eternal Search (1982-83) and Bold Ruritana (1995-96). Augustin Stable took a division of the 1985 edition with Annie Edge, who won the Grade 2 New York Handicap one year earlier.

The Nassau, Woodbine's first turf stakes of the meet, is Race 8 on Saturday's 10-race card. First post time is 1 p.m. Fans can watch and wager on all the action via HPIbet.com.

Champion Chrysoberyl Returns To Winning Ways in Teio Sho

Making his first start since a seventh to Maximum Security (New Year’s Day) in the $20-million Saudi Cup Feb. 29, reigning champion Japanese dirt horse Chrysoberyl (Jpn) (Gold Allure {Jpn}) got the jump on defending race winner and even-money favourite Omega Perfume (Jpn) (Swept Overboard) to take out a Group 1-quality renewal of the Teio Sho (2000m) Wednesday evening at Ohi Racecourse.

Tracking the pacesetting Wide Pharaoh (Jpn) (Henny Hughes) from a three-wide perch in third, Chrysoberyl–last year’s G1 Champions Cup hero–was asked for a bit of run entering the second turn to hold his spot inside of Omega Perfume, who made a bold five-deep move in an attempt to improve his position. Chrysoberyl was popped the question in upper stretch by Yuga Kawada, pinched a break into the final furlong and held firm as Omega Perfume gave game chase. Chuwa Wizard (Jpn) (King Kamehameha {Jpn}), last year’s runner-up, closed late for third.

With the victory, the progeny of Chrysoprase have now earned close to US$13 million. Chrysoberyl’s older full-brother Chrysolite (Jpn) was a five-time stakes winner on the NAR circuit, including the 2013 Japan Dirt Derby, before romping home to win the inaugural Keeneland Korea Cup in 2016. He now stands stud in that country. Chyrsoprase is also responsible for G1 Takarazuka Kinen winner and champion Marialite (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) and the 3-year-old colt Verdite (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), a debut winner over 2000m on turf last December. Chrysoprase’s most recent foal is a yearling colt by Horse of the Year Kitasan Black (Jpn).

TEIO SHO-Listed, ¥102,000,000 (£767,431/€846,599/US$954,292), Oi, 6-24, 4yo/up, 2000m, 2:05.30, my.

Churchill Downs closes out its 38-day spring meet with two Breeders' Cup Challenge Series “Win and You're In” qualifying races, the Grade 2, $500,000 Grade 2 Stephen Foster for 4-year-olds & up going 1-1/8 miles, which offers an expenses-paid berth in the Longines Breeders' Cup Classic to the race winner; and the Grade 2, $200,000 Fleur de Lis for fillies and mares going 1 1/16 miles, which grants a place in the Longines Breeders' Cup Distaff. Both Breeders Cup races will be on November 7 at Keeneland.

Grade 1-winner Tom's d'Etat will take on multiple graded-stakes winners By My Standards and Owendale in Saturday's 39th running of the Grade 2 Stephen Foster.
