   In this series, the TDN takes a look at notable successes of European-based sires in North America. This week's column is highlighted by Startup Mentality, who won the Monmouth curtain-raiser on Haskell Day in Oceanport, New Jersey.

Kingman Filly Succeeds On Haskell Undercard

Klaravich Stables and Chad Brown teamed up to take the first race on GI Haskell S. day at Monmouth Park with Startup Mentality (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) (video).

A 300,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 yearling, the daughter of Fine Time (GB) (Dansili {GB}) was bred by Mountarmstrong Stud. The full-sister to fellow winner Night Battle (Ire) was making her first start, while her dam has fillies by Lope De Vega (Ire) and Night Of Thunder (Ire) born in 2021 and 2022, respectively. Fine Time is a full-sister to three stakes winners anchored by Group 1 winner Passage Of Time (GB), herself the dam of burgeoning young sire Time Test (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) who won four group races and was second in the GI Manhattan S.; and a half-sister to G1 Falmouth S. heroine Timepiece (GB) (Zamindar).

Juddmonte's Kingman is the sire of several celebrated runners in the U.S., with a strike rate of 55% for 30 winners from 54 to race. His stakes winners stand at eight (15%) in that jurisdiction.

 

 

California Flair For Havana Grey Gelding

CYBT, McLean Racing Stables, Saul Gevertz and Michael Nentwig's Almendares (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}) won his first start in the U.S. at Del Mar last weekend (video).

Originally a 16,000gns Tattersalls December foal, the D. R. Tucker-bred was picked up for 14,000gns as a Tattersalls October Book 3 yearling by Meadowview Stables. From five starts over Dundalk's all-weather surface, the relative of G1 July Cup heroine Fleeting Spirit (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) eked out two wins for Mrs. S Slattery and trainer Andrew Slattery. The Del Mar race for his new connections was his first in the U.S. Out of the winning Glace (Ire) (Verglas {Ire}), Almendares has a juvenile, winning full-sister named Graceful Thunder (GB) and a yearling half-sister by Ardad (Ire).

A Champion First-Crop Sire in Britain and Ireland, Whitsbury Manor Stud's Havana Grey has sired two winners from four runners (50%) in the U.S. His Lady Hollywood (GB) was second in the Listed Limestone S. at Keeneland. Overall, he has 11 stakes winners worldwide, with Jasour (GB) leading his quintet of group winners.

 

 

Siyouni Filly Puts It All Together At The Spa

Part of The Gadfly Partnership breeding programme, the G3 Prestige S. heroine also won the Listed John Musker Fillies S. for trainer James Ferguson when she raced in England. The relation of G1 Prix Marcel Boussac Criterium des Pouliches heroine Zellie (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) has a Zoustar (Aus) 2-year-old half-sister.

The Aga Khan stallion Siyouni has sired 13 winners from 36 runners (36%) in the U.S. Four of that number are stakes winners (11%), and a trio have won at Grade III level–Sacred Life (Fr), La Signare (Fr), and Love And Thunder (Ire).

 

 

Eylara Shines At Del Mar

John McCormack's Eylara (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}) won her first race in her fifth start in the U.S. at Del Mar for trainer Phil D'Amato on Thursday evening (video).

Bred by His Highness The Aga Khan's Studs, the 5-year-old daughter of the stakes-placed Eytarna (Ire) (Dubai Destination) won one of her six starts in Ireland for Dermot Weld in the green and red silks of her breeder, before being purchased for €350,000 at the Goffs November Sale by McCormack.

A half-sister to three black-type horses including five-time group winner Eziyra (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}), who was also placed at the top level in Ireland, Hong Kong and England, Eylara is also a half-sister to a yearling filly by Teofilo (Ire) and a weanling colt by Lucky Vega (Ire). Her second dam is blue-hen Ebaziya (Ire) (Darshaan {GB}), who produced a quartet of Group 1 winners.

Coolmore's Gleneagles has 10 winners from 17 runners (59%) in the U.S., including the GI Man o' War S. hero Highland Chief (Ire).

Kingman’s Startup Mentality Gets Brown, Klaravich Off the Blocks on Haskell Day

1st-Monmouth, $54,650, Msw, 7-22, 3yo/up, f/m, 1 1/16mT, 1:41.94, fm, 1 1/2 lengths.
STARTUP MENTALITY (IRE) (f, 3, Kingman {GB}–Fine Time {GB}, by Dansili {GB}), sourced by Chad Brown and owner Klaravich Stables for 300,000gns ($428,654) out of Book 1 at the 2021 Tattersalls October Yearling Sale, was the only first-time starter taking on a field of more experienced maidens to open the Haskell S. day card at Monmouth Saturday. Named the 2-1 third choice, the filly broke from the far outside gate and was content to let the rest of the field go in front of her up the backstretch through an opening half in :46.97 before making a sweeping four-wide move around the far turn. Caught the widest of the bunch, Startup Mentality had plenty of momentum with a furlong to run, eagerly ran down late leader Mirabella (Into Mischief), and gained separation to the line to graduate by 1 1/2 lengths.  The second straight winner from her dam, Startup Mentality is out of a full-sister to G1SW Passage of Time (GB) and a half to GSW/MGISP Time Test (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) and G1SW Timepiece (GB) (Zamindar). This is also the family of European champion older horse Twice Over (GB) (Observatory) and GI Matriarch S. winner Viadera (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}). Fine Time has a 2-year-old Lope de Vega (Ire) filly and a yearling filly by Night of Thunder (Ire). Sales History: 300,000gns Ylg '21 TATOCT. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $33,000.

Making Waves: Salimah Sublime At Saratoga

In this series, the TDN takes a look at notable successes of European-based sires in North America. This week's column is highlighted by the victory of the stakes-winning filly Salimah in upstate New York.

 

Stakes Winner Shines At The Spa

The consistent stakes winner Salimah (Ire) (El Kabeir) added a win at Saratoga for Stephanie Seymour Brant and trainer Chad Brown on Thursday (video).

Part of the Yeomanstown Stud breeding programme, the grey was a 180,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 graduate. She has now won four of six starts, with a score in the Winter Memories S. last autumn her best run to date. A half-sister to G2 Mill Reef S. second Fivethousandtoone (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), the 4-year-old's dam, Promised Money (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), won at listed level in Ireland and her latest is a full-brother to that gelding. G1 Irish 2000 Guineas runner-up Fa-eq (Ire) (Indian Ridge {Ire}) is under the third dam.

Now standing at Allevamenti della Berardenga in Italy after a stint at Yeomanstown, El Kabeir has had two runners in the U.S. counting Salimah. His six stakes winners worldwide include the Group 2-winning pair of Azure Blue (Ire) and Don Chicco (GB).

 

 

 

Kodiac Colt Takes 3-Year-Old Bow In New York

Klaravich Stables' Appraise (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) made a winning 3-year-old bow in a Belmont affair on Saturday (video).

Bred by Mr. J and Mrs. L Scott, the Chad Brown trainee sold for 85,000gns as a Tattersalls December foal, and, returned to that ring as a Book 1 yearling, brought 180,000gns. Out of Irish listed winner Champagne Or Water (Ire) (Captain Rio {GB}), the GI Summer S. second has a juvenile half-sister named Lucky Silks (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}). The listed-winning third dam, Desert Drama (Ire) (Green Desert), was third in the G2 Criterium des Maisons-Laffitte, before foaling multiple Group 2 winner Endless Drama (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), who was Classic-placed in Ireland and Group 1-placed in Australia.

Tally-Ho Stud's Kodiac has sired 36 winners from 72 runners (50%) in the U.S. and Canada. His seven stakes winners there (9.7%) are led by True Valour (Ire), the winner of the GII City of Hope Mile S., and Grade III winners Campanelle (Ire), Island Of Love (Ire) and Spirit Of Xian (Ire).

Madaket Stables, LLC, Michael Dubb, and Michael Kisber's Chili Flag (Fr) (Cityscape {GB}) added a win in a Belmont contest to her resume (video) in her third U.S. start.

Bred by Finanza Locale Consulting SRL in France, the Listed Prix Saraca second was a €5,000 buy-back at the Arqana December Sale in 2019, and raced for Alain Jathiere and Gerard Augustin-Normand and trainer Maurizio Guarnieri. She made €140,000 at Arqana's 2022 Arc Sale and was transferred Stateside.

A half-sister to the stakes-placed Flers (Fr) (Dream Ahead), Chili Flag is out of Flag Day (GB) (Pivotal {GB}), whose latest foal is a yearling filly by Olympic Glory (Ire). Her second dam, G1 Cheveley Park S. heroine Blue Duster (Danzig) is a full-sister to fellow top-level winner Zieten.
