San Siro Hosts A Successful Start To The Flat Season

Over 12,000 people passed through the gates of SNAI San Siro Racetrack in Italy over the weekend, as the citizens of Milan celebrated the opening of the Flat season. The course played host to over 4,000 guests on Saturday and more than 8,000 plus on Sunday. Both the Listed Premio Natale de Roma and the Listed Premio Ciro Massimo were held on Sunday and were won by Vis A Vis (Ity) (Mujahid) and Flag's Up (Ire) (War Command), respectively. During the two-day stand, the course held many free initiatives for racegoers and their families from the statue of Leonardo's Horse, to the open-air exhibition '100 Years of Emotions', which chronicles the rich history of the racecourse from 1920 to the present day. There was also live music from Trio delle Meraviglie and the soloist Rebecca. Specifically for children, the Lombard Equestrian Centre held the 'Baptism of the Saddle' with ponies, as well as games and shows by A World of Adventures.

“Many of my new ideas came from US racing and from my hometown, Pisa's San Rossore racetrack, where thoroughbred racing has always been an unparalleled passion,” said Lorenzo Stoppini, the new Director of BU Ippodromi at Snaitech. “I want to give most of the credit to our San Siro marketing staff that were able to promote our racing season all over the vibrant city of Milan, with more than 1.3 million people [which has a] great tradition of fashion, design and top sport[ing] events.”

Arcano Filly Remains Unbeaten in Italian Oaks

Quafin SPA's Eulaila (Ity) (Arcano {Ire}) kept her perfect record intact with a one-length defeat of Cima Star (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) in the G2 Premio Oaks d'Italia at San Siro on Sunday.

Trying 2200 metres for the first time, the 7-1 chance broke from gate 10 and pressed the pace set by Zelandia (Fr) (Olympic Glory {Ire}) from the bell. A half-length back in second as the field entered the turn, she had dead aim on the pacesetter with a half-mile remaining. Asked to quicken down the straight, she stuck her neck in front a quarter mile from home and withstood all comers to win comfortably. Cima Star (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) closed to take second, 3/4 of a length in front of Anoush (Ger) (Isfahan {Ger}) with Sopran Basilea (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}) a nose back in fourth. It was another 2 ½ lengths to the 6-5 crowd's pick Invite (Ire) (The Gurkha {Ire}), who was held up at a crucial stage, in fifth.

Yet to taste defeat, Eulaila graduated at first asking going 1800 metres in Milan on Oct. 18, and returned at three to take a Rome 2000-metre contest by a half-length on Apr. 5. Her last start prior to the Oaks was a one-length win going that trip in Rome on May 2.

Pedigree Notes

Eulaila is the first Classic winner for the 2009 G1 Prix Morny winner Arcano (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}), who is making the most of his opportunities in Italy, with 17 stakes winners, seven at the group level, to date.

A dual winner and second in the Listed Premio Criterium Femminile, Eubea foaled an Arcano colt in 2017 and Eulaila, her last known produce, is her second. The second dam, Egesia (GB) (Kaldoun {Fr}), a two-time Italian listed winner, also threw the stakes-placed Einstein (Ity) (Lando {Ger}) and the Group 3-placed Everarda (Ger) (Singspiel {Ire}), herself the dam of Italian stakes winner Donna Prassede (Ity) (Manduro {Ger}) and the stakes placed Epsom (Ity) (Gladiatorus).

Eulaila's great granddam is the G2 Premio Principe de Amedeo third Heil (GB) (Star Appeal {Ire}), a half-sister to G2 Prix de l'Opera heroine Hortensia (Fr) (Luthier {Fr}).
