Sun Chariot for Powerful Breeze

Group 2 winner Powerful Breeze (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}), second in the G1 bet365 Fillies’ Mile S. to sign off her juvenile year last October, is a potential starter in the G1 Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot S. at Newmarket on Oct. 3. The Hugo Palmer trainee, who races in the colours of Dr. Ali Ridha, sustained several broken ribs earlier this year that has kept her out of action. A debut winner at Newmarket prior to her G2 May Hill S. victory, Powerful Breeze appears to have healed nicely and is in good order for her first start back.

“Powerful Breeze is doing great,” said Palmer. “She’s been back cantering for a while now. She hasn’t galloped yet, but she didn’t take a lot of galloping to get to her peak last year. We think she’s a bigger and stronger filly this year and the most important thing is there is no indication she is any discomfort whatsoever–long may that remain the case.

“I’m hopeful we’ll see her in the Sun Chariot. There is no obvious opportunity to run her before Newmarket, but she did win first and second time up last season and is not a big filly who takes a lot of getting fit. It’s obviously been a concertinaed campaign, so if there is ever a good year to miss most of the season, this was it.”

Ben Curtis banned 14 Days After Breaching COVID-19 Protocols

Jockey Ben Curtis was escorted from Newmarket Friday and will be sidelined for 14 days after breaching COVID-19 protocols. The all-weather champion for the 2019/20 campaign, he currently is fourth in the Flat jockeys’ championship standings.

A British Horseracing Authority spokesperson said Friday, “He will not be permitted to enter a racecourse for 14 days from today as per the published COVID-19 requirements whilst the matter is investigated further.”

Trainer Gary Moore was fined £750 earlier this month after breaching protocols at Goodwood, while Mark Gillard and his assistant Steven Hosie were each handed six-week bans Friday after they were found to have violated the COVID-19 rules at Newbury Aug. 15. They will be unable to attend a racecourse through Sept. 26.

Sister To Wuheida a New Rising Star At Newmarket

Friday’s MansionBet Best Odds Guaranteed Fillies’ Novice S. at Newmarket played host to a new TDN Rising Star as Godolphin’s A’Shaari (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) made a serious impact on debut for the Charlie Appleby stable. Sent off the 3-1 second favourite for the seven-furlong contest, the full-sister to the operation’s GI Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf and G1 Prix Marcel Boussac winner Wuheida (GB) travelled smoothly on the testing ground held up by William Buick throughout the early stages. Moving smoothly down the outer to gain command approaching the furlong pole, the chestnut burst clear and was being eased late en route to a 3 1/2-length success from Ready To Venture (GB) (Kingman {GB}), with 2 3/4 lengths back to Bellazada (Ire) (Belardo {Ire}) in third.

While wide-margin wins on this type of ground can flatter to deceive, the portents are strong that A’Shaari has real potential with her talented full-sibling also scoring on debut over the same course and distance in the same month four years ago. She went straight from her maiden to Chantilly on Arc day where she prevailed in the Marcel Boussac before adding the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf and G2 Dahlia S. to her tally and placing in the G1 Falmouth S. and G1 Preis der Diana (German Oaks), Hwt. Older Mare-Eng at 7-9 1/2f, Hwt. Older Mare-Eur at 7-9 1/2f, G1SW-Fr, GISW-US, GSW & G1SP-Eng, G1SP-Ger, $1,537,519. Appleby said, “A’Shaari has only come to hand in the last few weeks, but handled the ground well as her sister Wuheida did.”

The dam Hibaayeb (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}) was also introduced over this track and trip in August 2009 by Clive Brittain and although she took four runs to break her maiden she did so in style in the G1 Fillies’ Mile. Transferred to Godolphin soon after, she was third in the G1 Prix Saint-Alary and won the G2 Ribblesdale S. before recording a career-best success in the GI Yellow Ribbon S. at three before annexing the GII Sheepshead Bay S. as a 4-year-old. A’Shaari is her fourth winner from as many runners and she also has a filly foal by Deep Impact (Jpn) to come.
