Soldier Hollow’s Tamfana Seals Chantilly Stakes Double For Menuisier and Velon

David Menuisier, fresh off the Group 1 victory of Sunway (Fr) (Galiway {GB}) in this week's Criterium International, remains on the crest of a wave and, having combined with Marie Velon to snag the Chantilly undercard's Listed Prix Isonomy earlier on Friday, legged up the rider once more to complete an afternoon black-type double with Tamfana (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}–Tres Magnifique {Fr}, by Zoffany {Ire}) in the G3 Prix Miesque.

The March-foaled bay hit the board going an extended seven furlongs at Ffos Las in her Sept. 14 debut and impressed with a 9 1/2-length romp when stepped up to one mile at Kempton in her only other start earlier this month.

Tamfana, making the leap in class here, was well away to race in the leading wave of four before settling under cover in fourth after the initial exchanges. Making continued headway once opting for a clear lane in the straight, the 19-10 favourite hit the front with 350 metres remaining and was driven out to assert by 1 1/4 lengths from Shady Lady (Fr) (Blue Point {Ire}) for a career best. Monteille (GB) (Cable Bay {Ire}), like Shady Lady, ran on well from off the pace and finished one length adrift in third.

“I said beforehand it was no secret Tamfana is my best 2-year-old filly,” said Menuisier. “It is not so easy to win by nine lengths at Kempton like she did and I was expecting a good performance today. It is not a surprise at all, although the [seven-furlong] trip was too sharp for her. She would prefer going one mile, or even further, and she will be entered in all Classics.”

Pedigree Notes

Tamfana is the third of four foals and lone winner produced by a daughter of multiple winner Ticana (Ger) (Sholokhov {Ire}), herself a full-sister to Listed Prix Turenne and Listed Prix de la Porte de Madrid victor and dual Group 2-placed sire Timos (Ger). Ticana is also a half-sister to GI Beverly D heroine Sea Calisi (Fr) (Youmzain {Ire}), dual Group 3 winner Tareno (Ger) (Saddlers' Hall {Ire}) and to the dam of German Group 3 scorer Theo Danon (Ger) (Lord Of England {Ger}). The March-foaled bay is half to a yearling filly by Areion (Ger).

Job Done For Iresine In The Conseil de Paris

It was harder work than expected, but Bertrand Milliere's leading veteran Iresine (Fr) (Manduro {Ger}) ultimately made his class tell in Sunday's G2 Prix du Conseil de Paris. Held up with two behind early, the 11-10 favourite looked momentarily in trouble two out as Marie Velon asked him to close on the leaders. Staying on gamely in response, the G1 Prix Royal Oak and G1 Prix Ganay winner got to Marquisat (Ire) (Zarak {Fr}) a furlong later before asserting to score by a length.

Trainer Jean Pierre Gauvin revealed that Iresine, who had been second on his first start since April in the G2 Prix Foy last month, has an important date in his diary now. “I was concerned to see him so far back, but also confident because he looked very relaxed and when he is like that the good Iresine can really quicken and make up ground,” he said. “He always needs a race to be at his best and on his last run he was a bit too fresh and rusty after five months off. Marie's opinion is also important and she said it was the right Irsesine today.”

“We want to travel with him now, we felt it was too early last year but he is now ready for that,” he added. “We will go to Japan, because the JRA has been very nice to us and human relations are also an important part of this game and they have been very kind. They have allowed us to let Iresine travel with a stablemate, because travelling is not his forte. Even to come from our base in Lyon, he can be difficult so we worry for the long trip to Asia. Also the ground might be too quick for him, but it is a nice challenge and when you have to go you have to go.”

 

Pedigree Notes
Iresine's dam Inanga (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) is a full-sister to the G3 Prix de Guiche and G3 Prix Daphnis runner-up In Chambers (GB) and a half to the dam of the G3 Sagaro S. runner-up Earth Amber (GB) (Hurricane Run {Ire}). The fourth dam Riverqueen (Fr) (Luthier {Fr}), who captured the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and G1 Prix Saint-Alary here, counts among her descendants the likes of the G1 Prix Jean Prat hero Rouvres (Fr) (Anabaa), the dual G1 Premio Presidente della Repubblica scorer Altieri (GB) (Selkirk) and the multiple Australian group 1 winner Zaaki (GB) (Leroidesanimaux {Brz}). Inanga's youngest progeny is a yearling colt by Mondialiste (Ire) named Morus {Fr}).

Manduro’s Iresine Best In Strong Ganay

Sunday's G1 Prix Ganay was as strong as any in recent times and there was no fluke about the victory of Bertrand Milliere's Iresine (Fr) (Manduro {Ger}–Inanga {GB}, by Oasis Dream {GB}), who provided trainer Jean-Pierre Gauvain and jockey Marie Velon with a once-in-a-lifetime moment at ParisLongchamp. Carrying a penalty for his G1 Prix Royal Oak success when an eye-catching second to Simca Mille (Ire) (Tamayuz {GB}) in the G2 Prix d'Harcourt here three weeks previously, the 4-1 shot was anchored in last early with the pace generous. Delivered with perfect timing down the outer to overhaul the battling duo Simca Mille and Bay Bridge (GB) (New Bay {GB}) inside the final 100 metres, the dark bay who was the joint-oldest in the line-up at six asserted to reverse the d'Harcourt form by 1 1/4 lengths, as Bay Bridge fared best of the seasonal debutantes a head away in third. The returning G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe runner-up Vadeni (Fr) (Churchill {Ire}) was fourth, 1 1/2 lengths behind.

Manduro’s Iresine Dominates G1 Prix Royal-Oak Rivals

Jean-Pierre Gauvin trainee Iresine (Fr) (Manduro {Ger}–Inanga {GB}, by Oasis Dream {GB}) had earned money in each of his 14 prior starts and was last seen annexing the 12-furlong G2 Prix Foy, on Arc trials day, at ParisLongchamp in September. He returned to the Bois de Boulogne venue and was upped in trip for Sunday's G1 Prix Royal-Oak, the track's final pattern race of the season, and registered a career best by clear water with a display of force in the latter stages of the 15 1/2-furlong stamina test. The crowd's 21-10 choice employed patient tactics from the outset and raced off the tempo in ninth, with just one rival in the rear-view mirror, until well beyond halfway. Taking closer order inside the last half-mile, he made relentless headway under pressure in the home straight to lead with 300 metres remaining and surged clear of the valiant Search For A Song (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), who was making her final career start, in uncompromising fashion for a three-length triumph.

“There were some unknown factors beforehand and they centred mainly on his ability to handle such a trip for the first time and on heavy ground,” explained Gauvin. “Marie [Velon] gave him the perfect ride and, at halfway, I was relaxed to see him racing under cover and not too far behind. This horse is just so good and I'm suprised at what he can do every time he shows up. He shows more, he gives more and he's just unbelievable. With a gelding so lightly raced, there is a great temptation to travel. He has been invited to Japan, but will not go. Not that we are afraid of the competition, but because it is very often fast ground at that time of year. We will have a look at the [G1] Hong Kong Vase [in December] and, if he travels, that is where he will go. After that he will have a long break at the farm and he'll come back as strong, or stronger, next year.”

No More Encores
Dual G1 Irish St Leger heroine Search For A Song made a bold bid from the front once committed for home along the false straight, but rallied in trademark game fashion when headed to significantly reduce a large deficit nearing the line. Becoming a millionaire in her final outing, the 6-year-old homebred retires to the paddocks with a 21-5-6-2 record and earnings of €1,003,453. “This was her last race, she has run great and it was another cracking performance from her,” confirmed Dermot Weld. “It has been an honour to train her. She has won two Group 1 races and placed a number of times at this level. Hats off to the winner, he must be a very good horse.”

Pedigree Notes
Iresine, the second of five foals and half to a yearling colt by Chemical Charge (Ire), is the lone winner produced by Inanga (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), herself a full-sister to G3 Prix de Guiche and G3 Prix Daphnis runner-up In Chambers (GB). Inanga, who is also kin to the dam of G3 Sagaro S. second Earth Amber (GB) (Hurricane Run {Ire}), is a granddaughter of G3 Prix Vanteaux second Reve De Reine (Lyphard) Reve De Reine's leading lights are G3 Prix de Guiche victor Roi De Rome (Time For A Change) and G3 Prix Thomas Bryon third Rose De Thai (Lear Fan). Rose De Thai, in turn, is the dam of three black-type winners headed by G3 Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial victor Truth Or Dare (GB) (Royal Academy). Iresine's MG1SW fourth dam Riverqueen (Fr) (Luthier {Fr}) is the ancestress of ill-fated G1 Prix Jean Prat-winning sire Rouvres (Fr) (Anabaa) and dual G1 Premio Presidente Della Repubblica hero Altieri (GB) (Selkirk).
