Daughter of Goldikova Breaks Through at Chantilly

Alain and Gerard Wertheimer's homebred 3-year-old filly Goldistyle (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), the sixth of seven surviving foals out of MG1SW superstar Goldikova (Ire) (Anabaa), shed maiden status at the second attempt when getting up late to narrowly deny Teruya Yoshida's homebred Sentimental Mambo (GB) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), herself a daughter of MG1SW distaffer Stacelita (Fr) (Monsun {Ger}), in Friday's Prix de la Prairie over one mile at Chantilly.

GOLDISTYLE (IRE) (f, 3, Dubawi {Ire}–Goldikova {Ire} {2x Ch. Grass Mare-US, Ch. Older Horse-Eur, Ch. Older Mare-Eur, MG1SW-Eng & Fr, MGISW-US, $7,176,551}, by Anabaa), an Apr. 6 debut third behind the 'TDN Rising Star' performance of Wensleydale (GB) (Frankel {GB}) going one mile at Saint-Cloud last time, raced in fourth through the early strides and tanked forward to go second before halfway in this one. Niggled along soon after turning for home, the 13-5 second favourite came under sterner urging to tackle Sentimental Mambo (GB) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), herself a daughter of MG1SW & MGISW distaffer Stacelita (Fr) (Monsun {Ger}), passing the quarter-mile marker and was driven out to edge that foe by a short neck nearing the line. Goldistyle is the sixth of seven surviving foals and becomes the third scorer for MG1SW superstar distaffer Goldikova (Ire) (Anabaa) and the February-foaled homebred chestnut is a half-sister to G3 Prix Cleopatre victrix and G1 Prix de Diane third Terrakova (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and the hitherto unraced 2-year-old colt Lehman (GB) (Galileo {Ire}). Goldikova's siblings include G1 Prix Vermeille heroine and MG1SP G1 Prix de Diane runner-up Galikova (Fr) (Galileo {Ire}), MG1SP sire Anodin (Ire) (Anabaa) and GSW G1 Prix Jean Prat placegetter Gold Luck (Fr) (Redoute's Choice {Aus}). Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-1, €17,550. Video, sponsored by TVG.

Siyouni’s Policy Of Truth Takes the Fontainebleau

Last year's G3 Prix des Chenes winner Policy of Truth (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) was giving another nod to Van Gogh (American Pharoah) on Sunday as he captured ParisLongchamp's G3 Prix de Fontainebleau. Last seen trailing that Ballydoyle blueblood when fourth in Saint-Cloud's G1 Criterium International in October, the imposing bay who races for Haras du Logis Saint Germain and trainer Pia Brandt tracked the leaders but needed room two out. Angled wide for his run by the G3 Prix la Grotte-winning jockey Maxime Guyon, the 9-1 shot overwhelmed the G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere hero Sealiway (Fr) (Galiway {GB}) at the furlong pole en route to a half-length success, with Summiter (Ire) (Bated Breath {GB}) 3/4 of a length away in third.

Maxios Filly Upsets the Grotte

Runner-up in the G3 Prix des Reservoirs at Deauville in October and in the Listed Criterium du Languedoc at Toulouse the following month, Ecurie Waldeck's Cirona (GB) (Maxios {GB}) stuck her neck out to cause an upset in Sunday's G3 Prix la Grotte at ParisLongchamp. Soon in front under Maxime Guyon, the 18-1 shot had to dig in when headed a furlong out but was game against the rail to edge a five-way thriller by a head from Silvestri (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}), with the same margin separating her and King's Harlequin (Ire) (Camelot {GB}).

Aspetar Looms Large In Amir Trophy

A winner at the highest level in Germany and victorious in group races in France and England, Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa al Thani's homebred Aspetar (Fr) (Al Kazeem {GB}) appears the class of the field as he makes his Qatar debut in Saturday's US$1-million H H Amir Trophy (2400m) at Al Rayyan Racecourse in Doha.

The lightly raced 6-year-old won the G2 Grand Prix de Chantilly and G1 Preis von Europa in 2019 while under the care of Roger Charlton and punched his ticket to the G1 Cox Plate with a 1 1/2-length success in last year's G2 Sky Bet York S. July 25. The dark bay failed to land a serious blow when a distant 11th to Sir Dragonet (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) in the Moonee Valley feature Oct. 24, but a return to his best European form would make him very tough here. Julian Smart now handles the training duties and Maxime Guyon has the riding assignment.

Berkshire Rocco (Fr) (Sir Percy {GB}) raids for trainer Andrew Balding on the heels of a very successful 3-year-old campaign in England in 2020. Second to subsequent G1 Irish Derby hero Santiago (Ire) (Authorized {Ire}) in the G2 Queen's Vase at the Royal meeting in June, he atoned for a fourth in the G2 Great Voltigeur S. in August with a narrow defeat at the hooves of Galileo Chrome (Ire) (Australia {GB}) in the Sept. 12 G1 St Leger S. He makes his first start since taking out the Listed Noel Murless S. at Ascot Oct. 2.

Noor Al Hawa (Fr) (Makfi {GB}) makes his fifth straight appearance in the Amir Trophy, having finished second in 2017 and 2018 (promoted from third). The 8-year-old comes into this test on a four-race winning skein, including a one-length score over Qatar Derby hero Hellenistique (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) in a 2200-metre conditions test Jan. 28.

The rare Australian-bred in the jurisdiction, Off He Goes (Aus) (Casino Prince {Aus}) was named champion older horse at staying trips in Qatar in 2020 and carried Tomas Lukasek to a three-length win in the Khor Al Adid Cup (Local G3) over 2800 metres Jan. 21.
