Kingman’s Well-Related Sparkling Plenty Snags Marseille Feature

Patrice Cottier trainee Sparkling Plenty (Fr) (Kingman {GB}–Speralita {Fr}, by Frankel {GB}) notched a three-length debut success at Marseille-Borely earlier this month and swooped late over the same course and distance in Monday's Listed Prix Delahante to maintain her perfect record on black-type bow. She was steadied off the tempo and settled into a smooth rhythm racing sixth through halfway in the 8 1/2-furlong contest. Hurried along rounding the home turn, the 9-10 favourite made relentless headway under mild rousting in the straight and kept on strongly to usurp long-time leader Tiffanyli (Fr) (Lethal Force {Ire}) by a length nearing the line for a career high.

Pedigree Notes
Sparkling Plenty, the latest of three foals, is one of two scorers produced by an unraced half-sister to multiple elite-level heroine and US champion Stacelita (Fr) (Monsun {Ger}), herself the dam of three black-type winners headed by MG1SW dual Japanese champion Soul Stirring (Jpn) (Frankel {GB}). Descendants of Stacelita also include last term's G1 Oka Sho (Japanese 1000 Guineas) and G1 Yushun Himba (Japanese Oaks) victrix Stars On Earth (Jpn) (Duramente {Jpn}). Sparkling Plenty's dam Speralita (Fr) (Frankel {GB}) is also a half-sister to the dam of last month's G1 Prix du Moulin victrix Sauterne (Fr) (Kingman {GB}). The April-foaled homebred bay is a full-sister to G3 Jersey S. victor and G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere runner-up Noble Truth (Fr).

Kingman’s Sauterne Rules In The Moulin

Placed in three group 1s including the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches prior to Sunday's G1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp, Jean-Pierre-Joseph Dubois's hard-working homebred Sauterne (Fr) (Kingman {GB}–Salicorne, by Aragorn) had her day in the sun under Tony Piccone as she conquered the summit in the ParisLongchamp feature. Always happy using the 3-5 favourite Big Rock (Fr) (Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}) as a target, the belle of the Patrice Cottier stable mastered him 150 metres from the line before asserting for a length success at 11-1, with Facteur Cheval (Ire) (Ribchester {Ire}) half a length away in third.

For owner-breeder Jean-Pierre Dubois, a trotting legend in his native France and worldwide, this pinnacle triumph was understandably special. “It is a lot of fun for me to win a group 1 race on the flat,” he said. “It is so difficult to breed a good one. She is a lovely filly who has danced every dance and, except once, she has never run a bad race. She is an iron filly.”

 

Sauterne, who started her career in late November and has been kept on the go since, has raced ten times in the ten subsequent months with conditions wins in December, January and February followed by her first black-type success in this track's seven-furlong Listed Prix du Pont Neuf in April. Getting into the frame behind Blue Rose Cen (Ire) (Churchill {Ire}) in the Pouliches, she was held on to as she ran second to TDN Rising Star Kelina (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) in the G2 Prix de Sandringham at Chantilly in June, doing her best running late on. Seen to better effect under more positive tactics when second again reverting to seven in Deauville's G1 Prix Jean Prat the following month, she was denied in the closing stages when third in that track's G1 Prix Rothschild in August and seemed to have reached a limit.

What she had here was a lead and an ideal one at that, with Big Rock doing the inevitable and setting an honest tempo trying to put his rivals under pressure at a trip that on this livelier ground is on the sharp side. Sauterne was always comfortable in his wake and once Aurelien Lemaitre got serious on the leader two out the writing was already on the wall. Piccone asked the question soon after and the filly gave typically generously to forge ahead and close out with splits of 10.71 and 11.11 to seal the deal.

“She has a lovely temperament and nothing ever bothers her and that is why we could travel her so many times back and forth from our base in Marseille,” Cottier said of the winner, who was offered at the Goffs London Sale but failed to reach her reserve at £1.2million. “Every time, she has responded with guts and determination and she had done well since her last race in Deauville, she had a dream trip in the wake of the favourite and could produce her turn of foot. If all is well again, she will come back in the G1 Prix de la Foret.”

Pedigree Notes
Sauterne's unraced dam Salicorne (Aragorn) is a daughter of the listed-winning and group-placed Soignee (Ger) (Dashing Blade {GB}), which makes her a half to the six-times top-level scorer and Prix de Diane-winning champion Stacelita (Fr) (Monsun {Ger}). She is in turn responsible for the dual Japanese champion Soul Stirring (Jpn) (Frankel {GB}) and is the second dam of the G1 Yushun Himba heroine Stars On Earth (Jpn) (Duramente {Jpn}), who also captured the G1 Oka Sho.

Soignee is also the second dam of Kingman's G3 Jersey S. winner and G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere runner-up Noble Truth (Fr), while the family also includes the G1 Commonwealth Cup runner-up Flaming Rib (Ire) (Ribchester {Ire}) and the G1 Grosser Preis von Bayern heroine Sunny Queen (Ger) (Camelot {GB}). Salicorne has the 2-year-old colt Sauvignon (Fr) (Inns Of Court {Ire}), who like Sauterne was unsold when offered at Arqana October last year.

Kingman’s Noble Truth Takes The Jersey

Saturday's G3 Jersey S. had a familiar feel, with last year's winning combination Charlie Appleby and William Buick again prevailing with Noble Truth (Fr) (Kingman {GB}). Successful in the Listed Flying Scotsman S. and runner-up in the G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere last term, the 4-1 favourite who was last seen registering a six-length win in Newmarket's Listed King Charles II S. over this seven-furlong trip Apr. 29 was out in front again from the break as he had been there. Passed for a period two out, the €450,000 Arqana August graduate was back in command heading to the furlong pole and stayed on strongly to score by a length from the slow-starting Find (GB) (Frankel {GB}), with Dubai Poet (GB) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) a neck away in third. “I've been looking for a horse for the Golden Eagle at Rosehill and he might be one for that,” Appleby said.

Blue Wings A Stakes First For Wings of Eagles At Marseille-Borely

With Aigle Vaillant (Fr) (Wings of Eagles {Fr}) becoming the third individual winner for his freshman sire (by Pour Moi {Ire}) at Le Pin Au Haras on Sunday, Jean-Pierre-Joseph Dubois' homebred 2-year-old filly Blue Wings (Fr) took matters a stage further by becoming the Beeches Stud incumbent's first stakes scorer in Monday's Listed Prix Delahante at Marseille-Borely.

Blue Wings, who posted a July 25 debut runner-up finish going seven furlongs at Bordeaux's La Teste de Buch venue, graduated in a Sept. 4 one-mile maiden here in her penultimate start and went postward for this black-type bow returning off a Sept. 25 second upped to this distance at Salon-de-Provence last time. Moving forward from an early slot along the rail in fourth to go third at the entrance to the backstraight, she made smooth headway off the home turn to go second along the far-side rail entering the final furlong and was ridden out in the closing stages to deny Asad Zabeel (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) by a length nearing the line for a career high, becoming the first black-type winner for her freshman sire (by Pour Moi {Ire}).

Blue Wings is the fourth of five foals and one of three winners produced by a winning granddaughter of Listed Flying Fillies' S. victrix Arabesque (GB) (Zafonic), herself the dam of six black-type performers headed by MGSW sire Showcasing (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) and GSP sire Camacho (GB) (Danehill). Arabesque is a daughter of G1 Cheveley Park S. heroine Prophecy (Ire) (Warning {GB}), whose descendants also include three-time Group 1 winner Foreteller (GB) (Dansili {GB}), MGSW G2 Prix de Sandringham victrix Modern Look (GB) (Zamindar), GSW GI Beverly D. S. and GI Flower Bowl S. placegetter Grand Jete (GB) (Dansili {GB}), G3 Musidora S. winner Shutter Speed (GB) (Dansili {GB}), MGSW G1 New Zealand Derby runner-up Fix (NZ) (Iffraaj {GB}) and G1 South African Derby and G1 South Africa Classic placegetter Galileo's Destiny (NZ) (Galileo {Ire}).
