Stars Out For Friday At Royal Ascot

It has taken over a month longer than expected, but Cheveley Park Stud's Inspiral (GB) (Frankel {GB}) finally gets racing again on Friday as she bids to pick up the thread of her flawless 2-year-old campaign in Royal Ascot's G1 Coronation S. While her achievements in winning the G2 May Hill S. and G1 Fillies' Mile seemed laudable enough at the time, subsequent events have unfolded to display them in even better light particularly as they were garnered during her formative phase. As the Fillies' Mile and May Hill runner-up Prosperous Voyage (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) chased home the Fillies' Mile third and 'TDN Rising Star' Cachet (Ire) (Aclaim {Ire}) in the 1000 Guineas, the Gosdens' unbeaten filly was at Clarehaven waiting to fully bloom. Now that “Flaming June” is here with the weather to accompany it, she is here in glorious, vibrant colour with the world for now still at her feet.

 

Careful Tending

It was once said by Jim Joel that the late Sir Henry Cecil was “a man with green fingers for horses”, and it is that gentle and nurturing approach that has been adopted by John Gosden as patience was called for throughout recent weeks. “Inspiral was very slow coming to hand this year–it can happen to some fillies hormonally in the Spring,” he told QIPCO British Champions Series. “She had a tough Spring. You don't want to be forcing them and she was like a little bud that stayed tight, but we are very hopeful we'll get her there in good order. We are beginning to see the filly of last year again, so hopefully she'll put in a big performance. It will be great to have her back and her form from last year has looked great this year.”

 

Established Prestige

Highclere Thoroughbred's landmark Classic winner Cachet is undeniably at the forefront and the fact that she was just undone by Mangoustine (Fr) (Dark Angel {Ire}) in the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches at ParisLongchamp a fortnight after her Newmarket exploits only serves to enhance her reputation. She did not go fast enough there and James Doyle will be keen to revive the aggressive tactics that worked so emphatically at her beloved Newmarket from his draw in nine. That should set up a tactically straightforward affair, with her old rival Prosperous Voyage also sure to go forward from stall 12 to ensure a hot pace. With Inspiral absent from the Guineas, Cachet has to prove that she owns the crown and it was not merely leased but trainer George Boughey the filly with the admirable work ethic to shine again. “I think her work has stepped forward again and she looks stronger,” he told QIPCO British Champions Series. “She was coming back at the end at Longchamp and I slightly blame myself. We were drawn wide and I didn't want to blow her in front, so told James to crawl round if he could and turn it into a sprint. I'm very confident she stays a mile well and so we'll possibly look to make plenty of use of her. The weather looks set fair for fast ground, which her best form is on.”

 

A Diverse Cast

Under the Brit A-listers Inspiral and Cachet, there are key protagonists from France, Ireland and the States in what constitutes a fully stocked flowerbed for the mile championship for the 3-year-old fillies. Next to each other in seven and eight are the US duo Pizza Bianca (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) and Spendarella (Karakontie {Jpn}) and, with their contrasting racing styles, it will be fascinating to see where they are positioned by Jose Ortiz and William Buick respectively. Spenderella likes to force it, as she proved when winning the GII Appalachian S. at Keeneland Apr. 9, while Pizza Bianca uses her power late. Spenderella's trainer Graham Motion told QIPCO British Champions Series, “We feel she really belongs. I don't want to compare her with the other fillies I have brought, because they were really good fillies in their own right. She is obviously less-campaigned than they were and she hasn't run against the likes of these horses, but she really hasn't done anything wrong.” A fast pace will also set it up for 'TDN Rising Star' and G1 Cheveley Park S. winner Tenebrism (Caravaggio), the daughter of the 2011 Coronation heroine Immortal Verse (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}), who could prove that her eighth in the Guineas was all wrong.

 

Celebrating The Commonwealth

Tenebrism would have been a major player in the G1 Commonwealth Cup, which looks a wide-open affair as it enters its eighth year. Now firmly fixed in the Royal Ascot schedule and the international racing calendar, the only question is “why did it take so long to be established?” Last year's G2 Norfolk S. winner Perfect Power (Ire) (Ardad {Ire}), who went on to capture the G1 Prix Morny and G1 Middle Park S., is back in his comfort zone after a valiant try at the 2000 Guineas and there are no weak spots where he is concerned over this stiff six. It is notable that in Newbury's seven-furlong G3 Greenham S. Apr. 16, he readily beat Lusail (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) who has since taken off and almost won Tuesday's G1 St James's Palace S. El Caballo (GB) (Havana Gold {Ire}) is a genuine contender, with his winning streak culminating in Haydock's G2 Sandy Lane S. May 21 where he had several of these behind. Shadwell's 'TDN Rising Star' Ehraz (GB) (Showcasing {GB}) gives the impression he is building towards something special, while Ger Lyons is hoping that his luckless streak with raiders here can come to an end via Juddmonte's talented G3 Round Tower S. winner Sacred Bridge (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}).

 

An Albany To Savour

Friday's card gets underway with a fascinating G3 Albany S., where a pair of 'TDN Rising Stars' in Godolphin's Mawj (Ire) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) and Amo Racing's Queen Olly (Ire) (No Nay Never) take on Ballydoyle's May 15 G3 Coolmore Stud Irish EBF Fillies Sprint S. scorer Meditate (Ire) (No Nay Never). Mawj, a half-sister to Modern Games (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), was a scarcely-believable 4 3/4-length debut winner from a subsequent scorer at Newmarket May 14 given her pedigree and normal progress will make her hard to beat. Queen Olly also impressed at York May 12 and looks to give Amo Racing that first Royal Ascot winner. In the G2 King Edward VII S., Changingoftheguard (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) represents the Derby form and he was an admirable fifth in Epsom's June 4 Blue Riband, especially as he probably raced too hard early and paid for it in the straight.

 

Diane Attracts 18

Ensuring there was no repeat of the Prix du Jockey Club double-draw farce, an independent bailiff was on hand to oversee Thursday morning's presentation for the 173rd edition of Chantilly's G1 Prix de Diane Longines. Proceedings concluded without hitch, with the overnight pre-confirmations all standing their ground and a final field of 18 is set to head postward for Sunday's €1-million 10 1/2-furlong Classic, turfdom's very own Competition of Elegance. Imad Al Sagar's Oaks third and 'TDN Rising Star' Nashwa (GB) (Frankel {GB}) fared well in stall two, to the outside of Juddmonte's G2 Prix Greffulhe runner-up Agave (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) on the fence. Last term's G1 Prix Marcel Boussac heroine and this year's 1000 Guineas fourth Zellie (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) was also drawn favourably in five, while the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches third, fourth and fifth Times Square (Fr) (Zarak {Fr}), Rosacea (Ire) (Soldier Hollow {GB}) and Daisy Maisy (GB) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) are worse off in stall nine, 17 and 11, respectively. Last month's G1 Prix Saint-Alary second and third, Place du Carrousel (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) and Queen Trezy (Fr) (Almanzor {Fr}), are drawn alongside each other in stalls eight and seven while Ballydoyle's Toy (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) has been allocated post 16.

Galileo’s Tuesday Secures Classic Record For O’Brien

Choosing her own third birthday to bring Aidan O'Brien a record 41st British Classic, Tuesday (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}–Lillie Langtry {Ire}, by Danehill Dancer {Ire}) inched out TDN Rising Star Emily Upjohn (GB) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) in a thriller for Friday's G1 Cazoo Oaks at Epsom. Third in the 1000 Guineas and runner-up in the Irish equivalent, the homebred who was a 13-2 shot to emulate her full-sister Minding (Ire) arrived from rear to grab the lead inside the final two furlongs and had her nose in front on the line as the slow-starting 6-4 favourite almost pulled off an epic recovery. The official margin was a short head, with Nashwa (GB) (Frankel {GB}) 3 1/4 lengths away in third.

“She was still a little bit babyish and I was further back than I should have been, but she put herself into the race,” Ryan Moore said. “She was just a bit idle and changed her leads late on, so I just had to get her balanced. She has an awful lot of class and it's amazing how the family keep producing. Aidan has peaked her again only 12 days after the Irish Guineas and only he can do that. He did the same with Minding, who got beaten in the Irish Guineas then came here and won. She and Minding are similar size and very similar attitudes. Both have a lot of class, but this filly might be the stronger stayer.”

Runner-up to Discoveries (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) over seven furlongs on debut at The Curragh in June, Tuesday had her next assignment in a mile maiden at Naas after a nine-month hiatus and while there were no fireworks she was able to get off the mark and work her way into the picture for the May 1 Newmarket Classic. Only 4-1 for that, she stayed on gamely to fill the frame behind the vastly-more experienced Cachet (Ire) (Aclaim {Ire}) and Prosperous Voyage (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) before chasing home the brilliant Homeless Songs (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) at The Curragh three weeks later.

This renewal was a case of “best-laid plans” from the outset as Emily Upjohn broke awkwardly and lost ground with Frankie looking down to check that her shoes were still intact. Soon able to coast to the rail of the field where she raced alongside the eventual winner, she was forced wide off the home turn as Tuesday darted up the inside. As the field veered towards the stands, Tuesday was cut adrift in the centre of the track with a clear passage while Frankie was steering Emily Upjohn near the rail and while it looked initially as though the Gosdens' number one had won the bobber it was Ballydoyle who the fortunes favoured for a 10th Oaks success.

As he always does, O'Brien was quick to share the plaudits for the training achievement which rests in his name. “It feels unbelievable for us to be part of the whole thing, we're a small part of the team and we feel very privileged to be that part,” he said. “I'm so delighted for everybody because everybody puts in so much work, day in and day out, it's literally day and night, so it's unbelievable when everyone gets the return that they get. We're so grateful to everyone, that's what makes the difference and that's what makes it happen.”

Of Tuesday, who also overcame stall one, he added, “She is a baby and she was running in Classics before she was three, so it just goes to show what a fantastic filly she is. We always thought that a mile and a quarter, a mile and a half was going to suit her well. Ryan rode her very cold and very confidently. We felt that a mile and a quarter and a mile and a half was going to suit her well, you can never be sure but it wasn't a mad pace. With this type of filly, you're going to be looking at an Irish Oaks and things like that, there's plenty time between now and then and whether it's over a mile and a quarter or a mile and a half won't bother her and even at a mile she's very competitive.”

Dettori was understandably disappointed with the way the race panned out for the favourite and said, “She fell over, she slipped, lost her footing and fell over. I found myself last and going past all the field, I wish I had the pleasure to have the rail but I didn't, Ryan had that pleasure and I had to make a challenge on the outside. She made up a lot of ground and she was an unlucky loser. It's one of those things. She should have won, it's as simple as that. You've seen her–she's a good one.”

John Gosden said of the runner-up, “They went an even pace, but she has just lost it at the start–it is as simple as that. She has got a lot of ability to come from last and get there. It was a hell of a run. That is bad luck–you can't get left that far and circle the whole field. It is not her style of racing. I think if she had a clean break and not slipped and lost her legs it might have been a different result, but that's racing. She was in front before the line and just after the line but not on it.”

“Nashwa has run great. I think she just ran out of stamina the last 50 yards up the hill,” he added. “She would be better dropping back in trip, but she has run a superb race.” Hollie Doyle was achieving the best finishing position for a female rider in a Classic and commented, “I'm disappointed she didn't win, but I'm not disappointed with her performance at all. She ran a solid race and when she's stepped back to 10 furlongs there will hopefully be big days ahead. I appreciate that it's the best placing ever by a female rider in a Classic, but it doesn't make a lot of difference to me. If I could ever win one though it would be amazing.”

Tuesday becomes the 94th group 1 winner for her sire and the second Oaks heroine and third Classic winner for Lillie Langtry following the exploits of Minding (Ire) in this race and the 1000 Guineas and of another full-sister in Empress Josephine (Ire) in last year's G1 Irish 1000 Guineas. Lillie Langtry, whose top-level wins came in the Coronation S. and Matron S., has also produced the G3 1000 Guineas Trial winner Kissed By Angels (Ire) by Galileo. From the family of the sires Great Commotion and Lead On Time, her pedigree received another significant recent update when the G2 Prix du Conseil de Paris-winning Traffic Jam (Ire) (Duke of Marmalade {Ire}) was responsible for the G3 Prix Cleopatre winner and G1 Prix Saint-Alary runner-up Place du Carrousel (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}). Lillie Langtry's unraced 2-year-old is named Delightful (Ire).

Cazoo Oaks: Where Did They Come From?

This year's G1 Cazoo Oaks is an up-to-scratch renewal. Aidan O'Brien runs four, with Ryan Moore electing to ride Irish 1000 Guineas runner-up Tuesday, while John and Thady Gosden are double-handed with short-priced favourite Emily Upjohn and Nashwa. Emily Upjohn cost just 60,000gns as a yearling while Tom Clover's Rogue Millennium, unbeaten in both of her starts, is another bargain buy that will line up in this year's Classic after she changed hands to join her current connections for just 35,000gns. We took a look at the story behind each of the 11 fillies that will step forward in the Epsom Classic on Friday afternoon and find out where they all came from.

Was is from the family of G1 Derby victor New Approach (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and is a sister to stakes winners Douglas MacArthur (Ire), Amhran Na Bhfiann (Ire) and the dual Group 3-placed Al Naamah (Ire), as well as a half-sister to listed winner Janood (Ire) (Medicean {GB}). Concert Hall is followed by an unraced 2-year-old sister and a filly foal by Wootton Bassett (GB) this year.

'TDN Rising Star'.
Owner: Tactful Finance & S Roden
Breeder: Lordship Stud & Sunderland Holding Inc
Trainer: John & Thady Gosden
Sales History: The heavy favourite for this year's Oaks will provide many people with reason to dream, as she was knocked down for just 60,000gns during Book 2 of the Tattersalls Yearling Sale in October 2020.
Pedigree Notes: Emily Upjohn has a pedigree that belies that 60,000gns price tag. The race favourite is a half-sister to two winners, while her dam Hidden Brief is a winning sister to Hazarista (Ire) and a half-sister to Hazariya (Ire) (Xaar {GB}), both of whom were black-type performers for John Oxx. More pertinently, Hazariya is the dam of dual Derby winner Harzand (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}). Hidden Brief has a yearling filly by Capella Sansevero (GB).
