Sea The Stars Colt Overcomes Wide Draw In Jumeirah Guineas Trial

5th-Meydan, AED300,000, Cond., 1-5, NH & SH 3yo, 1400mT, 1:23.14, gd.
LEGEND OF TIME (GB) (c, 3, Sea The Stars {Ire}–Kissable {Ire} {G1SP-Ire, SW & GSP-US, $225,919}, by Danehill Dancer {Ire}) won a 7 1/2-furlong race at Haydock when unveiled in September, and plugged on to be fifth after a hampered passage in the G3 Tattersalls S. at Newmarket on Sept. 28. One of the leading fancies despite a horror draw in gate 14 of 16 in the full field for the Jumeirah Guineas Trial, he punched the breeze out wide as Athan (Arg) (Orpen) showed the way. Already only three deep as the field hit the turn, he maintained position in fourth approaching the lane. Given his cue by Buick, he soon let down past Saeed bin Suroor's Movie Maker (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), Athan, and the rallying Shamrock Glitter (Fr) (Shalaa {Ire}), who raced against the rail. The last name made a race of it inside the final 100 metres, but Legend Of Time, despite covering all of that extra real estate, was going best of the pair to win by a length and give Buick his third win on the card and trainer Charlie Appleby his second. Athan was another 1 3/4 lengths back, two lengths in front of Movie Maker. “I was very happy with him,” said Buick. “We did expect him to win but the pace wasn't overly strong and he jumped well and had to cover ground. He's a very progressive horse and will be better over a mile.” Best known for finishing third in the G1 Moyglare Stud S., the stakes-winning Kissable has already thrown stakes winner and GI American Oaks third Amandine (GB) (Shamardal) and Loving Dream (GB) (Gleneagles {Ire}), who has both the G1 Prix de Royallieu and G2 Ribblesdale S. to her name. Since foaling Legend Of Time, Kissable has a 2-year-old colt by first-season sire Pinatubo (Ire) and a yearling filly by Night Of Thunder (Ire). Second dam Kitty O'Shea (GB) (Sadler's Wells) was one of four stakes winners oftlinefoaled by G3 Park Hill S. heroine Eva Luna (Alleged), whose best was G1 St Leger and G1 Racing Post Trophy victor-turned-sire Brian Boru (GB) (Sadler's Wells). Derby winner Workforce (GB) (King's Best), as well as Kodiac (GB) full-brothers Best Solution (Ire) and El Bodegon (Ire) are all Group 1 winners from this line, while Workforce's half-brother Emissary (GB) (Kingman {GB}) ran second in the G1 Melbourne Cup. Sales history: 150,000gns Ylg '22 TATOCT. Lifetime Record: 3-2-0-0, AED212,820. Click for the ERA chart and video.

Desert Debuters: Audible Gelding Set Tall Task

In this series, we will have a look at American-bred first-time starters in maiden races at the tracks of the Emirates Racing Authority–predominantly Meydan and occasionally Jebel Ali–with a specific focus on pedigree and/or performance in a sales ring in the meetings leading up to the Dubai World Cup program Saturday, Mar. 30, 2024. Meydan will host racing mainly on Fridays, with the exception of Super Saturday Mar. 2 and Dubai World Cup night. Here is one horse of interest making its debut under the Friday night lights:

5th-MEY, Allowance, AED300k ($82k), NH/SH3yo, 1400mT
ALWAYS IN FIRE (Audible) will spot each of his 15 rivals some valuable racetrack experience as the lone firster in this Jumeirah Guineas Trial, but he has some pedigree to recommend him. The Apr. 26 foal is a son of Inspeight of Us (Speighstown), whose son Momos (Distorted Humor) defeated Saratoga maidens at first asking before going on to four black-type placings, two at the graded level as a juvenile. Inspeight of Us is a half-sister to Daddys Lil Darling (Scat Daddy), winner of the GI American Oaks  on the grass and the dam of the listed-winning and G1 Betfred Oaks runner-up Savethelastdance (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). The SW & GSP second dam Miss Hot Salsa (Houston) is also responsible for GI Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint upsetter Mongolian Saturday (Any Given Saturday) and SW Victoryasecret (Victory Gallop). Harmash Racing paid $120,000 for Always in Fire after he breezed a furlong in :10 flat at OBS last June.
