Mishriff Leads Trio Of New Sumbe Stallions As 2024 Fees Announced

Following the news that a pair of Group 1-winning juveniles will be joining the Sumbe roster in 2024 earlier this month, multiple Group 1 winner Mishriff (Ire) (Make Believe {GB}) anchors the five-strong Sumbe roster at Haras de Montfort et Preaux, Nurlan Bizakov's operation announced on Tuesday morning. The three-time top-level scorer will stand for €17,500 in his first season, after a setback ruled him out of the 2023 covering season.

A winner of the Dubai Sheema Classic, Prix du Jockey Club and International S. to go with five other Group 1 placings, the 7-year-old is joined by French Champion Juvenile Angel Bleu (Fr) (Dark Angel {Ire}), who won the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere and the Criterium International among other contests. He will stand for €9,000. The second Group 1-winning juvenile and third new stallion overall is Sumbe homebred Belbek (GB) (Showcasing {GB}), who also triumphed in the Lagardere. His fee has been set at €7,000.

Rounding out the roster is G1 Commonwealth Cup hero Golden Horde (Ire) (Lethal Force {Ire}), who has first yearlings next year at €6,000; and De Treville (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), a half-brother to leading first-season sire Too Darn Hot (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), who will hold court for €3,000. The latter has already sired the stakes winner Gregarina (Fr), who was second in the G3 Prix Quincey and two other group horses.

“I am proud to announce that in 2024 Sumbe will offer two new exciting stallions Angel Bleu and Belbek,” said Sumbe's Nurlan Bizakov. “They are both champions by proven sires of sires and with deep, distinguished pedigrees. Mishriff needs no introduction and I am confident that he will receive strong support from French and international breeders in the new season. We have also adjusted the fees for Golden Horde and De Treville to make them even more attractive. The Sumbe team will be happy to show all our stallions and discuss any potential plans with breeders.”

Mishriff And Nashwa Primed For Breeders’ Cup Bids

Multiple Group 1-winning duo Mishriff (Ire) (Make Believe {GB}) and Nashwa (GB) (Frankel {Ire}) pleased co-trainers John and Thady Gosden in their final gallops on Friday ahead of the Breeders' Cup at Keeneland. Racing in the colours of Prince Faisal and Imad Al Sagar, respectively, the pair are part of a 23-strong British contingent that is making the trip to Kentucky on Saturday for the two-day meeting on Nov. 4 and 5.

The 5-year-old entire, who will stand under the Sumbe banner at Haras de Montfort et Preaux in France after his GI Breeders' Cup Turf bid, has won Group 1s is France, the UAE and the UK, as well as the first edition of the $20-million Saudi Cup. From six runs this season, he's placed in the G1 Eclipse S., G1 King George VI And Queen Elizabeth S., and G1 Juddmonte International S. Fourth in the G1 Irish Champion S. at Leopardstown in September, Mishriff was unplaced in very soft ground in the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.

“You have to have the horse that can travel, that has the mind and the strength for it, and that versatility of distance and surface, and he's certainly managed to do that,” Gosden reflected. “When you have a horse who can handle those variations, it's fine.”

After several tardy breaks this season, the Clarehaven team had worked with Mishriff on the issue and Gosden said, “He broke well in his last start, he was very good, and the one before, the Juddmonte International. So he has been much better at that and we actually jumped him out yesterday and he was very much on the ball and broke well, so hopefully he's put that well behind him.”

Nashwa has yet to be off the board in seven starts under Hollie Doyle, and sports victories in the G1 Prix de Diane and G1 Nassau S. after running third in the G1 Oaks this term. She was a narrow second in the G1 Prix de l'Opera at ParisLongchamp on Oct. 2 when last seen. She holds an entry for the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf.

John Gosden said, “She's a very strong filly for a 3-year-old. Three-years'-old often is early enough to be going to a Breeders' Cup, but as you saw today, she's up for it, she's strong, a very purposeful filly.

“We've planned since the Nassau S. at Goodwood to go for the Opera and then the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf. It's a mile and three sixteenths this year, we would prefer it if it were a mile and a quarter but that's the layout of the track. If she breaks well and gets a nice position, she'll run a big race.”

If either of the Gosdens' pair prevail, it would be the elder's fifth Breeders' Cup victory, and his son's first.

Buick And Mishriff Likely To Team Up For The Arc

William Buick is likely to ride John and Thady Gosden's Mishriff (Ire) (Make Believe {GB}) in the Paris Longchamp in the G1 Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe after Adayar (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) was ruled out of the race in favour of the G1 Champion S. at Ascot.

Prince Faisal's 5-year-old is a Group 1 winner in France, Dubai, and the UK, and, although he has yet to win in 2022, he has been in the top three in three of his four starts.

Runner-up to Arc rival Vadeni (Fr) (Churchill {Ire}) in the G1 Coral-Eclipse in July, under Prince Faisal's former retained rider David Egan, Mishriff was third in the G1 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth S. at Ascot later that month.

He rebounded to take second to the G1 Champion S.-bound Baaeed (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) in the G1 Juddmonte International S. in August and was last seen running fourth in the G1 Irish Champion S. at Leopardstown on Sept. 10.

“He's in good order and I think William Buick will be riding him,” Gosden senior told Sky Sports Racing. “The ground was sticky and holding in Ireland and he wasn't in love with that, but he was doing his best work at the end.

“He got a little bit out of it, he has won over a mile and a half, he's won a Prix du Jockey Club, he's won on soft ground.

“I'm perfectly aware of the quality of the race but it doesn't have an outstanding star in it, to that extent a lot of people have been tempted.

“He's pretty experienced, he's been around the world this horse, we haven't been frightened wherever he's run. He's won Saudi Cups, he's raced in France, he's raced in Ireland, he's raced in England–he's very international.

“He's run on dirt, on soft turf, on heavy turf as a 2-year-old at Nottingham, and firm ground and sand tracks.

“He's a very versatile horse and all being well, he'll be going to stud in France at the end of the season.”
