Kingman’s Lord Campari Powers to TDN Rising Stardom

Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum’s 350,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 yearling Lord Campari (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) ran sixth behind the ‘TDN Rising Star’ performance of Palace Pier (GB) (Kingman {GN}) over seven furlongs in his Aug. 30 debut at Sandown and exploded onto the scene with a Rising Star of his own when upped to one mile in division one of Saturday’s It’s Not Rocket Science With MansionBet Novice S. at Newbury. The 15-8 second favourite was sharply into stride and on the front end from the outset. In command on the bridle fro the most part, the repsonse was immediate when shaken up approacing the final furlong and he bounded clear in taking fashion to easily account for previous winner Tsar (GB) (Kingman {GB}) by an impressive 4 3/4 lengths.

“He jumped on my foot when I was saddling him, so he has redeemed himself well and the win has made me feel better,” revealed in-form trainer Roger Varian. “We liked him last year, but he is a big, raw horse. He travelled nicely and quickened well and it was a nice seasonal debut. We will see how he is in the morning then take it from there.”

Lord Campari, half-brother to an unraced 2-year-old filly by The Gurkha (Ire), becomes the second scorer from four runners for Listed Boadicea Fillies’ S. winner Blanche Dubawi (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), herself the leading performer out of G3 World Trophy victrix Dixie Belle (GB) (Diktat {GB}). The latter is herself the leading performer out of an unraced daughter of the dual stakes-placed Mareha (Ire) (Cadeaux Genereux {GB}), who in turn is a half-sister to G2 Futurity S. runner-up Chapel Crescent (Ire) (College Chapel {GB}).

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.

Goffs UK Premier Sale Topper Powers to Rising Stardom at The Curragh

Coolmore’s newcomer Admiral Nelson (GB) (Kingman {GB}) topped the lists at last year’s Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale, when knocked down to M V Magnier for £440,000 and the strapping bay repaid some of that outlay and earned ‘TDN Rising Stardom’ when scorching to an impressive one-length success in Friday’s Tally-Ho Stud Irish EBF (C&G) Maiden over five furlongs at The Curragh. The 5-1 chance was among the slowest into stride, but tanked by rivals to stalk the leading wave from a position in the second rank after the initial strides. Making eyecatching headway on the bridle from halfway, he quickened smartly to launch his challenge at the furlong marker and required minimal encouragement thereafter to outpoint stablemate Merchants Quay (Fr) (No Nay Never) with authority.

“Admiral Nelson travelled well and could be a [G2] Coventry horse,” revealed Aidan O’Brien. “It will depend how he comes out of this and he’ll have to go straight to [Royal] Ascot. He won’t be doing anything after this because it is so close. It’s far from ideal, but we are lucky to have got a race into them. We have run two or three in each of the races. It’s different times, but we are lucky to have the races. [Jockey] Wayne [Lordan] said it’s lovely, fast ground. It’s very safe, but proper Flat ground. We think Merchants Quay is a nice horse as well. Seamus said he was just a little bit in his hands and maybe travelled a little bit too strong. It’s possible he could go to Royal Ascot too, but they may not all get in.”

Admiral Nelson becomes the second scorer out of Listed Dick Poole Fillies’ S. winner Shamandar (Fr) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}), herself a half-sister to stakes-winning G3 Prix La Rochette second Hung Parliament (Fr) (Numerous). His dam, who also downed future luminary Dubawi Heights (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) in 2009’s Watership Down Stud Sales Race, is a granddaughter of GII Wilshire H. and GIII Paloma H. heroine Blushing Heiress (Blushing John), herself out of GII Hollywood Lassie S. victress Native Fancy (Our Native).
