Dabirsim’s Horizon Dore Is Different Class In The Eugene Adam

Impressive in the Listed Prix Ridgway at ParisLongchamp last month, having chased home Big Rock (Fr) (Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}) in Chantilly's G3 Prix de Guiche, the Patrice Cottier-trained Horizon Dore (Fr) (Dabirsim {Fr}) showed what he is made of in Saturday's G2 Prix Eugene Adam at Saint-Cloud. Sitting off the early pace set by Knight To King (Ire) (Kingman {GB}), the even-money favourite who sports the Gousserie yellow-and-green brushed the Dermot Weld challenger aside with a 10.51 split from the two to the one and surged to an emphatic 2 1/2-length success from Maniatic (Ire) (Intello {Ger}).

Horizon Dore's first two starts in the autumn saw him win by a cumulative margin of 11 lengths, with the second seeing him beat the subsequent listed winner and triple group 3 runner-up Harry Way (Fr) (Galiway {GB}) by six with the eventual listed-placed Cambronne (Fr) (Alex The Winner)–a winner of this card's feature handicap–in third in Marseille-Borely's Listed Prix Delahante. Fifth to the subsequent G1 Prix du Jockey Club runner-up Big Rock in ParisLongchamp's G3 Prix la Force in April before getting closer in the Prix de Guiche, the bay whose ownership also includes Ecurie du Sud, Ecurie Gribomont, Daniel Dumoulin, François Delaunay, Chantal Becq as well as the Chehboub family's Yellow Agency, probably needs lively ground as he proved here and in the Ridgway.

Already gelded, Horizon Dore who was a bargain €45,000 buy at Arqana Deauville August could go the way of the Gousserie star Sealiway (Fr) (Galiway {GB}). “He's an easy horse to ride and has a big turn of foot,” Pauline Chehboub said. “We will travel with him, as he's a group one winner in the making who is versatile when it comes to trip. I think he'll improve again and we need to brainstorm with our associates, but we'll see about the Champion Stakes in October. He has huge potential.”

Pedigree Notes

Horizon Dore, who is kin to the G3 Prix du Calvados winner and GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf third Cavale Doree (Fr) (Sunday Break {Jpn}), is the last foal out of Sweet Alabama (Fr) (Enrique {GB}) whose half-siblings include the multiple listed-placed Zayade (Fr) (Country Reel) and Winter Springs (Fr) (Stormy River {Fr}) who was second in the Delahante.

Cracksman Colt Passes Jockey Club Test At Chantilly

Handed his chance at black-type after impressive wins over 10 furlongs at Cagnes-sur-Mer in January and over 9 1/2 furlongs at Bordeaux-le-Bouscat last month, Ecuries Serge Stempniak's Ace Impact (Ire) (Cracksman {GB}–Absolutly Me {Fr}, by Anabaa Blue {Ire}) showed his Classic hand in Thursday's 10-furlong Listed Prix de Suresnes at Chantilly. Again exhibiting early keenness as Cristian Demuro sought cover towards the rear, the G1 Prix du Jockey Club and G1 Grand Prix de Paris entry was far from compromised by that initial expenditure of energy as he swamped the leaders approaching the furlong pole and galloped to the line with relish to win comfortably by 1 3/4 lengths from Maniatic (Ire) (Intello {Ger}).

Trainer Jean-Claude Rouget has no doubt where the winner is heading. “This horse has everything it takes to make a good one,” he stated. “We went step-by-step with him with this race in mind as a final prep for the Prix du Jockey Club. These races are important, because if you lose and show nothing you lose your illusions. He quickened brilliantly and now we have to try to finish the job. We will be back at Chantilly on the first Sunday in June.”

The dual listed-placed dam, who has produced two other listed-placed performers in Apollo Flight (Fr) (Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}) and Alessandro (Fr) (Australia {GB}), also has the 2-year-old colt Arrow Eagle (Fr) by Gleneagles (Ire). Her family includes the top-class British-trained stalwarts Teleprompter (GB), Ibn Bey (GB) and Roseate Tern (GB) and the talented Red Camellia (GB) (Polar Falcon), who took the G3 Prestige S. and was third in the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches before producing the G1 Fillies' Mile heroine Red Bloom (GB) (Selkirk).
