TDN Rising Star Erevann Triumphs In The Daniel Wildenstein

In the headlines for an infamous moment of pure madness on Friday afternoon, jockey Christophe Soumillon returned to the winner's enclosure aboard His Highness The Aga Khan's Erevann (Fr) (Dubawi {Ire}–Ervedya {Fr}, by Siyouni {Fr}) after winning Saturday's G2 Qatar Prix Daniel Wildenstein at ParisLongchamp. The 'TDN Rising Star', who had earlier annexed June's G3 Prix Paul de Moussac at Chantilly, relinquished his perfect record when beaten two necks in the Aug. 14 G1 Prix Jacques Le Marois at Deauville when last seen and lined up as the 7-5 pick for this one-mile test. Settled off the pace in rear until taking closer order along the false straight, he came under pressure racing alone against the far-side rail approaching the two pole and kept on strongly once taking control with 350 metres remaining to hold the late rattle of 2019 and 2020 winner The Revenant (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) by 1 1/2 lengths.

“That was the expected outcome, but you prefer when they confirm your expectations on the track,” said trainer Jean-Claude Rouget. “We had no doubt he would handle the [very soft] going and Christophe Soumillon did well to go for the inside rail. He quickened nicely, he is a very good horse and should be a grand horse next year. We won't see him again this season and [the G1 Queen Anne S. at] Royal Ascot will be his first major target next year.”

Erevann is the second of four foals and lone scorer out of G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, G1 Coronation S. and G1 Prix du Moulin heroine Ervedya (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}). His dam is a half-sister to Listed Dusseldorf Preis victrix Elennga (Fr) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) and to the dam of the dual stakes-placed Ebony (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}). The April-foaled homebred bay, whose second dam is G3 Prix Vanteaux runner-up Elva (Ire) (King's Best), hails from the family which includes G1 Gran Premio del Jockey Club hero Erdelistan (Fr) (Lashkari {GB}) and is half to a yearling filly by Kitten's Joy and a weanling filly by Lope De Vega (Ire).

Awtaad’s Anmaat Wins Dollar War

Sent off the 5-2 favourite for Saturday's G2 Qatar Prix Dollar at ParisLongchamp, Shadwell's Anmaat (Ire) (Awtaad {Ire}) justified that confidence to prevail in a battle with Junko (GB) (Intello {Ger}) in the 10-furlong contest. Brought along steadily by Owen Burrows last term and this, the 4-year-old had sprung to prominence last time when taking Haydock's G3 Rose of Lancaster S. by four lengths Aug. 6 and after taking cover in mid-pack looked the winner in early straight with Jim Crowley motionless. Sent to the front a furlong out, the bay had Junko immediately on his case and while it looked briefly as if that Wertheimer representative had the momentum it was Anmaat who had his head down where it mattered. A head was the winning margin, with four lengths back to TDN Rising Star West Wind Blows (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) in third.

Galileo’s Kyprios Routs Cadran Rivals

Dominant in the stayers' sphere following an unbeaten five-race streak this term, Aidan O'Brien trainee Kyprios (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}–Polished Gem {Ire}, by Danehill) sealed the divisional crown with an extravagant victory in Saturday's G1 Qatar Prix du Cadran at ParisLongchamp. The May-foaled chestnut, sent off as the 7-10 favourite for the 2 1/2-mile contest, had already devoured Royal Ascot's G1 Gold Cup, the G1 Goodwood Cup and the G1 Irish St Leger, but was bustled along to occupy a forward pitch in third entering the straight first time. Easing to the fore on the run to the home turn proper, he was in isolation approaching the quarter-mile marker and, despite veering across the track to the stands' side rail inside the final furlong, stayed on strongly to easily outclass 71-1 outsider Almacado Gree (Fr) (Domedriver {Ire}) by a facile 20 lengths.

“He's an incredible stayer, he has a massive engine, a huge heart and an incredible mind,” trumpeted Aidan O'Brien. “Ryan [Moore] rode him handy, they went a good gallop and they just fell away before they turned in. He got left in front, but got lazy and lonely in the straight. The horse thought it was time to pull up and he thought the race was over. He also lost a shoe in the straight, so that might be a little bit of a reason behind what happened as well. He's an amazing horse, but never moves from second gear in his work. We can't get him up into third, fourth or fifth gear, so he must have an unbelievable capacity for covering distance at pace. I think that's probably him done for the year and I'd imagine we'll go down the same route next season.”

Kyprios is the latest of 10 foals, all winners, produced by 2015 Broodmare of the Year Polished Gem (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), herself a winning daughter of G1 Irish 1000 Guineas heroine Trusted Partner (Affirmed). He is kin to seven black-type winners headed by dual G1 Irish St Leger heroine Search For a Song (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), G1 Prince of Wales's S.-winning sire Free Eagle (Ire) (High Chaparral {Ire}) and MGSW G2 British Champions Fillies & Mares S. victress Sapphire (Ire) (Medicean {GB}). Descendants of Polished Gem, who is also a full-sister to GI Matriarch S. victrix Dress To Thrill (Ire), also include G1 Vincent O'Brien National S. hero Thunder Moon (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}). Kyprios's third dam Talking Picture (Speak John), the GI Matron S. and GI Spinaway S.-winning US champion, is the ancestress of G1 Grand Prix de Paris and G1 Sydney Cup hero Gallante (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}).

Sea La Rosa To The Fore In The Royallieu

Diverted to ParisLongchamp's G1 Qatar Prix de Royallieu after a headline-heavy week, G1 Melbourne Cup victrix Verry Elleegant (NZ) (Zed {NZ}) was unable to land a telling blow and trailed home seventh behind Sunderland Holdings' Sea La Rosa (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}–Soho Rose {Ire}, by Hernando {Fr}), who added to her pattern-race tally with a career high in the 14-furlong distaffers' feature. The William Haggas trainee arrived at the Bois de Boulogne venue having annexed Goodwood's July 30 G2 Lillie Langtry S. and Deauville's Aug. 21 G2 Prix de Pomone and lobbed along in third until improving one spot at halfway. Launching her bid going well passing the quarter-mile marker, the 13-5 favourite was shaken up with 300 metres remaining and ridden out in the closing stages to assert by a length from Jannah Flower (Ire) (Olympic Glory {Ire}).

“She's been incredible this year, and the backend of last year, and just seems to be getting better with each run,” reflected rider Tom Marquand. “She's got the heart and the talent to see it through and to get a Group 1 on the board for Mrs [Ling] Tsui is amazing. I'm very privileged to be a small part of it. I wouldn't have a clue what the plans are and it doesn't look like she's done yet.”

Christopher Tsui added, “I'm delighted with this victory and also very moved by it. I recall those moments, almost 30 years ago, when I witnessed the success of Urban Sea in the Arc. This story began with her and, since then, it has snowballed via Sea The Stars and his daughters Sea Of Class and Sea La Rosa. Regarding the filly's next race, we will all get together and mull it over, but nothing is decided yet.”

Bred in France by Ecurie des Monceaux, Sea La Rosa is a full-sister to this term's G3 Bahrain Trophy winner Deauville Legend (Ire). She is also a kin to G3 Derrinstown Stud 1000 Guineas Trial second Dean Street Doll (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}) and a yearling filly by Golden Horn (GB). Her stakes-winning second dam Soho Rose (Ire) (Hernando {Fr}) is a full-sister to G2 Pretty Polly S. victrix and stakes producer Hanami (GB) and a half-sister to the stakes-winning Dubai Rose (GB) (Dubai Destination). The latter produced The Juliet Rose (Fr) (Monsun {Ger}), a dual winner of this contest when it held Group 2 status.
