Quartet Of French Fillies’ Races To Be Sponsored By Darley

A race series for 3-year-old fillies in France will be sponsored by Darley, the organisation and France Galop announced on Tuesday.

Since discontinuing its sponsorship of the G1 Prix Morny, Darley has instead branched out into a quartet of fillies' races. The newly sponsored races are:

  • Listed Prix de Thiberville, ParisLongchamp on June 15
  • G3 Prix Chole, Chantilly on July 16
  • Listed Prix Joubert, ParisLongchamp on Sept. 7
  • Listed Prix Coronation, Saint-Cloud on Sept. 22.

Valuable race series in Great Britain and Ireland are also newly sponsored by Darley, it was announced earlier in the year.

Sam Bullard, Director of Stallions, said, “Following the expansion of Darley's sponsorships at grassroots level in Great Britain and Ireland, it was only natural to extend this support of racing to France. We have an exciting young roster of stallions standing at Haras du Logis and these new sponsorships further demonstrate Darley's support of French racing and breeding. We are delighted to be involved.”

Olivier Delloye, Chief Executive of France Galop, said, “France Galop is delighted to count once again on the support of Darley, a leading international partner, which confirm the quality of our races.”

Sea The Sky had failed to get in front since snagging her Nov. 2 debut at Chantilly and went postward for this marathon coming back off a third in Deauville's Aug. 14 G3 Prix Minerve. Settled off the pace in sixth for the most part, she made continued headway under pressure in the home straight to gain a narrow advantage entering the final furlong and was ridden out late to deny Divine Jewel in a bobbing finish for a career high.

Sea The Sky, the seventh of nine foals, is one of three scorers produced by an unraced full-sister to G1 Deutsches Derby-winning sires Samum (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}) and Schiaparelli (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}) and G1 Preis der Diana  (German Oaks) heroine Salve Regina (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}). The €820,000 BBAG September yearling is a full-sister to runaway G1 Deutsches Derby-winning sire Sea The Moon (Ger) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) and to the dam of this term's Listed Abingdon S. runner-up Golden Lyra (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}). She is also a half-sister to Listed Dallmayr Coupe Lukull runner-up Sansiwa (Ire) (Dansili {GB}) and a yearling filly by Frankel (GB). Sea The Sky's weanling full-brother is slated to sell at this year's Goffs November Foal sale, according to Gestut Gorlsdorf's Niko Lafrentz.
