Too Darn Hot’s Bauhinia A New ‘TDN Rising Star’ In France

Godolphin's G1 Prix Marcel Boussac nominee Bauhinia (Ire) (Too Darn Hot {GB}–Desert Blossom {Ire}, by Shamardal) justified that lofty entry and earned a 'TDN Rising Star' rosette with a taking debut display in Thursday's Prix de la Cascade at ParisLongchamp.

Racing a shade keenly under a firm grip through halfway in this one-mile debutantes' test, the 23-10 favourite loomed large hard on the steel passing the quarter-mile marker and quickened stylishly under mild coaxing once seizing control approaching the final furlong to easily account for Cetera (Ire) (Nathaniel {Ire}) by an impressive two lengths. She becomes the 12th winner, and first Rising Star, for her freshman sire (by Dubawi {Ire}).

“She is a very nice filly, she won easily and has plenty of talent,” said winning rider Bauyrzhan Murzabayev.

Bauhinia is the sixth foal and scorer thrown by G2 Rockfel S. third Desert Blossom (Ire) (Shamardal), herself out of G3 Prestige S. third Elshamms (GB) (Zafonic). Elshamms, a daughter of G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches third Gharam (Green Dancer), also produced Listed Hyde S. victor Flaming Spear (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) and Listed Jebel Ali Sprint winner Taqseem (Ire) (Fantastic Light). Her descendants include Listed Marygate Fillies S. runner-up Silk Bow (GB) (Elusive City) and Listed National S. second Wings Of A Dove (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}). The March-foaled homebred bay is kin to Listed Valiant S. victrix and G3 Prix Bertrand de Tarragon and G3 Atalanta S. runner-up Duneflower (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) and weanling colt by Dark Angel (Ire).

Feed The Flame To Prep For The Arc In The Prix Niel

Kingman (GB)'s Group 1 winner Feed The Flame (GB) will prepare for a start in the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in September's G2 Prix Niel, according to trainer Pascal Bary.

All three of the colt's wins have come at ParisLongchamp, with a winning April debut parlayed into another victory in a Class 2 affair later that month. The 'TDN Rising Star' ran fourth in the G1 Prix du Jockey Club in June, prior to bouncing back in the Grand Prix du Paris on Bastille Day.

“Tres bien, he is very well,” said Chantilly-based Bary of the Jean-Louis Bouchard runner. “He's to run on the 10th of September in the Prix Niel. He needs that [run over course and distance] before the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. He knows the course very well now, he has won there three times.”

Arc Favorite Ace Impact Straight to ParisLongchamp

The G1 Qatar Prix du Jockey Club conqueror Ace Impact (Ire) (Cracksman {GB}) will head straight to the Oct. 1 G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe following his recent victory in Deauville's G2 Prix Guillaume d'Ornano. Conditioned by Jean-Claude Rouget, the undefeated colt gave Rouget back-to-back Group 1 wins this season and will aim to become the trainer's second victor in Europe's richest middle-distance contest behind multiple Group 1-winner Sottsass (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}).

A long-circled date on the calendar for the connections, the team is reportedly happy with Ace Impact's form going into the Arc as the general 7-2 favorite.

“We are very pleased with him since his run in the Prix Guillaume d'Ornano,” said Pauline Chehboub, racing manager for her family's Gousserie Racing operation.

“He is a very unique horse and every time he comes to the races it feels like he loves it. We are very fortunate to be a part of this champion. His target since the French Derby, like Jean-Claude Rouget announced, is the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, so we follow the plan. He is the Arc favourite, unbeaten and his limits are unknown. The dream continues.”
