Night Of Thunder’s Flight Plan Makes All In The Solonaway

Entering Saturday's G2 Dullingham Park S., or Solonaway S. as it is registered, slightly under the radar, Clipper Logistics' 3-year-old Flight Plan (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}) did it for Britain as he led his rivals a merry dance to dominate the Leopardstown mile contest. Tried in the 2000 Guineas in the spring, the Karl Burke-trained 15-2 shot who was last seen finishing third in York's G3 Strensall S. was always in control under an enterprising ride from Danny Tudhope. Playing perfectly to the front-running bias that this track is often guilty of when the ground rides on top, he maintained the impressive gallop to score by 1 1/4 lengths from the 2-1 favourite Buckaroo (GB) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), with last year's GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf hero Victoria Road (Ire) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}) a head away in third.

“We have finally found the way to ride him,” Tudhope said of the winner, who was also second in the Listed Burradon S. at Newcastle and in Pontefract's Listed Pomfret S. “We have always loved this horse and it has just taken us a bit of time to figure him out, but that's the way to do it on him. I had to get a good start, as he didn't break very well the last day in York. He's got a beautiful action on him and a big engine. He's going to get better and he'll be a nicer four-year-old. He's a proper-looking horse and everything about him is just nice.”

 

Pedigree Notes

Flight Plan's dam Romp (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) is a daughter of the G3 Premio Dormello runner-up Short Affair (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}) who is also responsible for the Spanish Horse of the Year and G2 Oettingen Rennen winner Rodaballo (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}). This is John Greetham's family of Whitewater Affair (GB) (Machiavellian) which includes the Japanese champion Victoire Pisa (Jpn) (Neo Universe {Jpn}) and G1 Yasuda Kinen hero Asakusa Den'En (GB) also by Singspiel, as well as the G1 Oaks and G1 Yorkshire Oaks-placed Short Skirt (GB) (Diktat {GB}) and multiple group-winning sire Little Rock (GB) (Warning {GB}).Romp's unraced 2-year-old filly by Harry Angel (Ire) was a 55,000gns purchase by Joe Foley at the Tatts December Yearling Sale, while her son of Showcasing (GB) is catalogued in next month's Tatts Book 1 Sale. She also has a 2023 filly by Pinatubo (Ire).

Too Darn Hot’s Darnation Too Good In The Prestige

Newtown Anner Stud's homebred Darnation (Ire) (Too Darn Hot {GB}–Monday Monday {Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}) improved off a debut third at Haydock to post an impressive 10-length tally over the same seven-furlong distance at Thirsk last month and made a smooth transition upped to pattern-race level with a game tally in Saturday's G3 William Hill Prestige Fillies' S. at Goodwood.

Positioned in a stalking second after a smart getaway, the 5-2 favourite fanned wide with the field off the home turn and kept on relentlessly under a drive inside the final quarter-mile to prevail by an ultimately comfortable two lengths from 11-4 market rival Carla's Way (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}). Flight Plan (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}) held every chance entering the final furlong and was outbobbed by a head for second.

Pedigree Notes

Darnation, half-sister to a yearling filly by Fastnet Rock (Aus), is the first of two foals produced by an unraced full-sister to dual Group-placed G2 Beresford S. third Exemplar (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). The April-foaled homebred bay's dam is also a half-sister to G1 1000 Guineas, G1 Irish Oaks and G1 Yorkshire Oaks heroine Blue Bunting (Dynaformer). Descendants of her second dam Miarixa (Fr) (Linamix {Fr}), herself out of stakes-winning G1 Prix Saint-Alary third Mrs Arkada (Fr) (Akarad {Fr}), include dual stakes-winning GIII Intercontinental S. and GIII Franklin S. placegetter Star Devine (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) and G3 Earl of Sefton S. runner-up Poker Face (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}).

Marshman Suffers Season-Ending Pelvic Injury

G3 Prix Sigy hero Marshman (GB) (Harry Angel {Ire}) has suffered a suspected pelvic injury after returning sore from a tune-up breeze last week for his intended outing in the G1 Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe S. and will be out for the rest of the season.

Conditioned by Karl Burke, the colt had won three of his nine career jumps and found his first Group black-type victory at Chantilly earlier this season in April when annexing the Prix Sigy. He had last been seen finishing eighth in Sandown's G3 Coral Charge S. in July but hopes were high as the return to York would've meant a return to a course at which he'd already put in two credit-worthy performances.

“He went for a breeze early last week and came back sore,” explained Nick Bradley, managing director of Nick Bradley Racing. “We sent him for a bone scan and it's not conclusive, but it looks like a suspected pelvic injury. I think that will be him done for the year. We'll bring him back next year. Three can be a hard age for sprinters, so we'll try again at four.”

Fallen Angel Gives Too Darn Hot A First Black Type Winner In The Sweet Solera

Providing her first-crop sire Too Darn Hot (GB) with his first black-type winner on Saturday, Clipper Logistics' Listed Star S. runner-up Fallen Angel (GB) proved far too strong in Newmarket's G3 Molson Coors Sweet Solera S. Denied by Shuwari (Ire) (New Bay {GB}) in that Sandown contest over this seven-furlong trip last month, the Karl Burke-trained 9-4 favourite travelled strongly near the front end under Danny Tudhope before starting the stretch of her rivals approaching the final furlong. Soon clear of the Star S. third Soprano (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), the grey daughter of the G2 May Hill S. winner and G1 Fillies' Mile runner-up Agnes Stewart (Ire) (Lawman {Fr}) had three lengths to spare over that rival at the line, with 1 3/4 lengths back to Les Bleus (GB) (Blue Point {Ire}) in third.

 

“It was very impressive,” Tudhope said of the winner, whose debut success came over this trip at Haydock in May. “I probably learned a lot about her the last day at Sandown, I maybe didn't make as much use of her but the ground that day was very soft and you're always a bit wary of how quick you're going. This filly stays this trip well, she wants a mile now and she may even get 10 furlongs in time. The further she went today the better–she powered clear up the hill. She's just a classy filly who goes on all types of ground and she's got a great mind on her. The future is very bright.”

Pedigree Notes
Fallen Angel is the fourth and currently last known foal out of the aforementioned Agnes Stewart, whose daughter Divine Jewel (GB) (Frankel {GB}) was runner-up in the recent G3 Stanerra S. Kin to the Listed River Eden Fillies' S. scorer Sorrel (Ire) (Dansili {GB}), who was also placed in the GIII La Prevoyante S. and GIII Orchid S., she is related to the G1 National S. hero and G1 Irish Derby runner-up and sire Definite Article (GB) and the G2 Dante S. winner Salford Express (Ire) (Be My Guest).
