Frankel Filly Excites at ParisLongchamp

As the only inexperienced member of the line-up for Sunday's G3 Prix Vanteaux, Al Shira'aa Farms' Jannah Rose (Ire) (Frankel {GB}–Sophie Germain {Ire}, by Indian Ridge {Ire}) had her work cut out but after her command performance in ParisLongchamp's Classic pointer all were left pondering where her considerable talent will take her. Off the mark in professional if not flashy fashion over a mile at Chantilly in September, the Carlos Laffon-Parias-trained half-sister to the G2 Lanwades Stud S. winner Creggs Pipes (Ire) (Rip Van Winkle {Ire}) was nevertheless not missed in the market as the 5-2 second favourite for the nine-furlong test. Racing under early restraint early from Christophe Soumillon with one behind, the bay who was a €650,000 Goffs Orby purchase made her move wide in early straight and struck the front 300 metres out en route to a comfortable 1 3/4-length success from Sea The Lady (Fr) (Sea The Moon {Ger}).

“She is a very nice filly and considering what she does in the mornings, it was not a problem for me to run her in this group race on only her second career start,” Laffon Parias explained. “She has the speed for a race like the [G3] Prix de la Grotte next week, but I made the choice of this one thinking that it would be easier. She settled well in a race with a good rhythm and showed us all her quality in the straight. Now it looks like the [G1 Prix] Saint Alary and the [G1 Prix de] Diane, but an alternative is the [G1] Poule d'Essai [des Pouliches] and the Diane.”

Pedigree Notes
Jannah Rose, who becomes the 78th group winner for her sire, is out of the unraced Sophie Germain whose aforementioned daughter Creggs Pipes improved beyond all recognition from three to five years of age and also captured the Listed Cairn Rouge S. as well as placing in the G3 Fairy Bridge S. and G3 Blue Wind S. Also responsible for the listed-placed Silver Spear (Ire) (Clodovil {Ire}), Sophie Germain is a daughter of the G1 Oaks d'Italia heroine Hydrion (Critique) from the family of the GI Breeders' Futurity hero and G1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile runner-up Square Eddie (Smart Strike) and the GI Personal Ensign H. heroine Pompeii (Broad Brush). Next up from the dam is a 2-year-old filly by Invincible Spirit (Ire) who was bought by David Redvers for €280,000 at the most recent Goffs Orby.

Almanzor’s Elzora Attains Rising Star Status In Paris

Hot on the hooves of Feed The Flame (GB) (Kingman {GB}) powering to 'TDN Rising Star' status, Riviera Equine and Eric de Chambure's 3-year-old filly Elzora (Fr) (Almanzor {Fr}–Elodie {GB}, by Dansili {GB}) joined him in the elevated ranks with an equally-impressive display in the 10 1/2-furlong Prix de Chaillot at ParisLongchamp. The May-foaled homebred bay employed waiting tactics from flagfall and settled off the pace in rear until easing forward into midfield with a half-mile remaining. Asked to close at the top of the home straight, the 39-10 chance quickened in style to seize control at the quarter-mile marker and lengthened clear under minimal urging inside the final 300 metres to easily account for Zvaroshka (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) by an impressive 3 1/2 lengths. Almanzor is responsible for one previous Rising Star, the Listed Prix Nureyev-winning Lassaut (Fr), who carried the Riviera Equine silks into second in last October's G2 Prix Niel.

“It was a large field with 14 previously unraced fillies and some of them were all over the place,” explained winning rider Cristian Demuro. “My filly was green too, but I had a good trip with cover. She quickened brilliantly in the straight and is certainly a filly with a future.”

Elzora is the latest of seven foals and one of four winners produced by a winning full-sister to G1 Prix Rothschild heroine With You (GB) (Dansili {GB}) and G1 Prix de l'Opera victrix We Are (Ire) (Dansili {GB}). She is a full-sister to last term's G1 Prix Saint-Alary third Queen Trezy (Fr), who changed hands for €800,000 at Arqana's Breeding Stock sale in December, and a half-sister to Listed Prix Panacee victrix Eliade (Fr) (Teofilo {Ire}). Descendants of their G3 Prix de Flore-winning second dam In Clover (GB) (Inchinor {GB}) also include G1 Prix du Cadran winner Call The Wind (GB) (Frankel {GB}) and the stakes-winning trio In Crowd (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), Dream Clover (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) and Incahoots (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}).

Kingman’s Feed The Flame Powers To Rising Stardom In France

ParisLongchamp opened its doors to 2023 and immediately played host to a 'TDN Rising Star' performance when Pascal Bary trainee Feed The Flame (GB) (Kingman {GB}–Knyazhna {Ire}, by Montjeu {Ire}) unleashed a power-packed display to garner Sunday's Prix de Juigne, a 10 1/2-furlong contest for unraced 3-year-old colts and geldings. The eventual winner bided his time and was positioned sixth of the seven runners through the early stages. Sent forward along the false straight to turn for home in third, the 31-10 chance joined the front rank hard on the steel at the quarter-mile marker and powered clear in impressive fashion once shaken up with 300 metres remaining to easily outclass Cocktail Prince (GB) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}) by 5 1/2 lengths. Kingman's updated catalogue of 30 Rising Stars also includes the multiple elite-level winners Persian King (Ire) and Palace Pier (GB).

“He had worked well as a 2-year-old, but was unable to run because of some minor problems, which is often the case with immature horses,” explained trainer Pascal Bary. He came around really well lately and I think he will be a very good horse one day.”

Feed The Flame is the sixth of seven foals and fourth scorer out of an unraced half-sister to dual Group 2-placed sire Migwar (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}). The April-foaled bay's second dam Katyusha (Kingmambo), herself a daughter of Listed Rose Bowl S. victrix Crystal Crossing (Ire) (Royal Academy), is an unraced full-sister to G1 St Leger-winning sire Rule Of Law. Feed The Flame's siblings include MGSW G3 Prix Thomas Bryon victor Sacred Life (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}), MGSP G2 Prix Hocquart third Khagan (Ire) (Le Havre {Ire}) and the unraced 2-year-old colt Gulf Legend (Fr) (Dubawi {Ire}).

Rouget Lines Up Turf Stars In Paris

ParisLongchamp stages a fascinating card on Sunday as the 2023 campaign moves onwards, with the G2 Prix d'Harcourt featuring a Group 1 winner in Bertrand Milliere's Prix Royal-Oak hero Iresine (Fr) (Manduro {Ger}). Saddled with a four-pound penalty for his triumph in the marathon test here in October, he has his work cut out dealing with genuine mile-and-a-half performers like Haras de la Perelle and Stephane Wattel's G2 Prix Niel winner Simca Mille (Ire) (Tamayuz {GB}) and Al Shaqab Racing's G2 Prix Guillaume d'Ornano scorer Al Hakeem (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}), who closed out his 3-year-old term with a 2 1/2-lengths fourth in the Arc. Al Hakeem is one of Rouget's more talented representatives and while he has some ground to make up on the stable's Vadeni (Fr) (Churchill {Ire}), it is not a great deal and he is open to big improvement at four.

A Burgeoning Force?

In the nine-furlong G3 Prix la Force, it is the first reckoning of Rouget's TDN Rising Star Padishakh (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) who is untried in black-type company but who looked every bit up to scratch in two conditions races here and at Chantilly in September and October. Nurlan Bizakov's big French hope has his initial encounter with a Ballydoyle runner as the stable continues to spread out its Classic hopefuls. Greenland (Ire) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}) is the one here and he is rated considerably better than the bare form of his last-of-four effort in the G2 Royal Lodge S. at Newmarket in September. Rouget's telling time continues in the G3 Prix Vanteaux over the same trip, where Ecurie Billon's Around Midnight (Fr) (Almanzor {Fr}) re-opposes Sea The Lady (Fr) (Sea The Moon {Ger}) having beaten her in the Listed Criterium de l'Ouest at Craon in September before finishing runner-up in Deauville's G3 Prix des Reservoirs the following month. One of the dark ones is Al Shira'aa Farms' Chantilly maiden winner Jannah Rose (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), a Carlos Laffon-Parias trainee who is a half to the highly progressive mare Creggs Pipes (Ire) (Rip Van Winkle {Ire}).
