Teofilo’s West Wind Blows Dominates The Prince d’Orange

Becoming the fourth colt to emerge from the Goodwood's G3 Gordon S. and register a black-type success, Abdulla Al Mansoori's TDN Rising Star West Wind Blows (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) proved too strong for his rivals in Sunday's G3 Prix du Prince d'Orange at ParisLongchamp. Only sixth behind Saturday's G1 St Leger favourite New London (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) when ridden from the front in that mile-and-a-half contest July 28, the imposing bay was under restraint this time as the deputising Kieran Shoemark anchored him with two behind from the break. Arriving wide in the straight, the 29-10 second favourite hung repeatedly right from two out but his sheer physical dominance saw him overhaul Ilic (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}) a furlong from home and assert for a 1 3/4-length success from that outsider. The positively-ridden 8-5 favourite Epic Poet (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) was the same margin away in third.

West Wind Blows, who had taken Hamilton's 11-furlong Listed Glasgow S. over 11 furlongs July 15 after finishing ninth in the Derby, was capping a day to remember for his rider who stepped in for William Buick following that rider's fall in the Moulin. He was also becoming the 13th winner from the last 23 runners from the red-hot Simon and Ed Crisford stable and Ed was on hand to say, “He settled really well today, which was key. The owner was very keen to go back to a mile and a quarter and it worked out perfectly as there was pace on. He picked up nicely, but he still did a lot of things wrong so he's got a lot of learning to do.”

“He's a very exciting horse and I think he's just babyish–Kieran said he did everything wrong in the race, but his natural talent got him to the line in front, so there's lots to work with,” Crisford Jr added. “He is in the Arc, so we'll see what the owner wants to do but he's a very exciting horse for next year really. It's all about that. We think he stays a mile and a half, so we could be tempted by the Arc and he is versatile with regards to ground, he just doesn't want extremes.”

West Wind Blows, who becomes the 60th group winner for his sire, is the eighth foal out of the G1 Prix de Diane heroine West Wind (GB) (Machiavellian) who was also placed in the G1 Prix Vermeille and G1 Pretty Polly S. and whose previous best was the ill-fated G3 Eclipse S. runner-up Setting Sail (GB) (Dansili {GB}). The second dam is the G2 Sun Chariot S. winner Red Slippers (Nureyev), whose daughter Eastern Joy (GB) (Dubai Destination) has proven an excellent producer for Godolphin with six black-type winners headed by the high-achieving globetrotter Thunder Snow (Ire) (Helmet {Aus}).

Eastern Joy's classy sextet also features Teofilo's G3 Oh So Sharp S. winner First Victory (Ire), dam of this year's 2000 Guineas and St James's Palace S. hero Coroebus (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) who had so sadly broke down at the track half an hour beforehand. Red Slippers is in turn a full-sister to the G2 Jockey Club S. scorer and Epsom third Romanov (Ire) and a half to the Oaks and Irish Derby heroine Balanchine (Storm Bird), with her many high-class relatives including another Irish Derby hero in Sovereign (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). West Wind's 2-year-old is a full-brother to West Wind Blows, while she also has a colt foal by Masar (Ire).

Moulin Marred By Coroebus Injury As Lope De Vega’s Dreamloper Wins

There was the kind of drama at ParisLongchamp on Sunday that nobody needs as Godolphin's 2000 Guineas and St James's Palace S. hero Coroebus (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) suffered a fatal injury in early straight before Jason Fill's Dreamloper (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}–Livia's Dream {Ire}, by Teofilo {Ire}) ran out an impressive winner of the G1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp. The Ed Walker-trained mare, who had also won the G1 Prix d'Ispahan here May 29, was prominently-placed throughout by Kieran Shoemark and was therefore ahead of the 21-10 favourite's fall passing two out.

Hitting the front with a furlong remaining, the 6-1 shot surged clear for an impressive 5 1/2-length success from Order Of Australia (Ire) (Australia {GB}), with The Revenant (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) 3/4 of a length away in third. “She's stepped up again–fair play to Kieran, we talked about the race for about four hours as it wasn't obvious what was going to happen tactically and then I just said 'do your job' and he absolutely nailed it,” Walker said. “She's not a straightforward ride, but ever since the Sun Chariot he's got on incredibly well with her and we are reaping the rewards for that. She's an eight to nine-furlong horse and I'd love to have a go at the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf–two turns and 9 1/2 furlongs would be perfect for her.”

Dreamloper's stock began to rise markedly with a 4 1/2-length defeat of the smart Freemason Lodge representative Lights On (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}) in the G3 Valiant S. over a mile at Ascot last July and it was the drop back to seven rather than a dip in her level that was to blame for a fourth placing three weeks later in Newbury's G2 Hungerford S. Only 10th in the G1 Matron S. at Leopardstown in September, the bay began her fruitful partnership with Shoemark when third at 25-1 in the G1 Sun Chariot S. at Newmarket in October and it was at that track that she shone on her next start when coming back from the winter to annexe the nine-furlong G2 Dahlia S. at the start of May.

Her dynamic performance when taking the d'Ispahan over 9 1/4 furlongs led connections to point to a mile and a quarter for her next two starts, but her sixth in the G1 Pretty Polly S. at The Curragh June 26 and fifth in the G1 Nassau S. at Goodwood July 28 confirmed that she was being stretched too far. Granted an honest pace to run at here by the previously-unbeaten 3-year-old God Blessing (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}), Dreamloper was in her element and when let go showed top-class miling pace to dominate. “She clearly doesn't stay ten,” Walker added. “I blamed the ground in the Pretty Polly and really fancied her for the Nassau, where she was the winner at the nine pole but ended up fifth. The gap to the Sun Chariot is perfect, but there is the ground to think about and she's been busy and had a bit of travelling, so I might just freshen her up for one last hoorah at the Breeders' Cup.”

Coroebus, who had puzzled connections with a fifth placing in the G1 Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville, was being angled out of a pocket by William Buick in early straight as he sustained his fatal injury and was euthanized soon after.

The Revenant showed he retains much of his ability on his comeback, posting a 11.06 penultimate furlong as he gave vain chase to the dominant winner on ground as lively as he can operate on. A repeat bid in the G2 Prix Daniel Wildenstein back here on Arc weekend is the next port of call, with the G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. as usual on his agenda. “Considering that he didn't have his favorite soft ground, I am delighted with this performance after a long break,” trainer Francis-Henri Graffard said.

Pedigree Notes:

Dreamloper's dam Livia's Dream (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}), whose yearling filly by Golden Horn (GB) is catalogued in the upcoming Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 1, enjoyed her finest hour when capturing the 12-furlong Listed Wild Flower S. She is out of the Listed Dick Hern Fillies' S. winner Brindisi (GB) (Dr Fong), whose listed-placed half-sister La Spezia (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) produced the G2 Doncaster Cup hero Thomas Hobson (GB) (Halling). Descended from Dick Hollingsworth's Oaks heroine Bireme (GB), the family features another heroine of that Epsom Classic in Talent (GB) (New Approach {Ire}), whose daughter Ambition (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) took the G2 Prix Corrida. Livia's Dream also has the unraced 2-year-old filly Dreamrocker (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}).

Outstrip’s Tigrais Prevails in ParisLongchamp’s G3 Prix La Rochette

Sunday's mouthwatering feast of pattern-race action got going with ParisLongchamp's G3 Prix La Rochette and there was a surprise in store as last month's Deauville maiden winner Tigrais (Fr) (Outstrip {GB}–Maharana {Fr}, by Iffraaj {GB} swooped late to deny 'TDN Rising Star' Breizh Sky (Fr) (Pedro The Great) for a career high in the seven-furlong contest for juveniles. She had opened up with a July 17 debut seventh, behind the 'TDN Rising Star' display of Alia's Rose (Fr) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), over seven furlongs at Chantilly and had changed owners since notching her breakthrough score last time. The 19-5 chance lurched from the traps and raced off the pace, adrift of the clear leader, in fourth through halfway. Inching closer in the straight, she came under pressure with 300 metres remaining and kept on relentlessly under a late drive to nail Listed Prix Roland de Chambure victor Breizh Sky by a short head on the line.

“She didn't run as I expected first time out and that is why she came back soon after to show her true potential,” explained trainer Christopher Head. “She has changed ownership since that win and I was keen to prove to her new owners they had made a good investment. We took a gamble by pitching her into Group 3 company straight after winning her maiden. I am delighted, but not very keen to run her over further at this stage. The [G1 Prix Jean-Luc] Lagardere is an option, but we shall wait and see how she comes out of this before discussing plans with the owners.”

Reflecting on the performance of Breizh Sky, trainer Alessandro Botti added, “He travelled well, but was left in front too soon and idled once he got there. He is still immature, no doubt, and I was praying for the post to come in time, but it didn't. It's frustrating, but maybe the race will give him more experience and we will have nothing to lose by bringing him back in the Lagardere.”

Tigrais, who hails from the family of multiple Group 1 winner Palace Pier (GB) (Kingman {GB}), is the only reported foal out of Maharana (Fr) (Iffraaj {GB}), herself an unraced half-sister to Listed Prix Francois Boutin runner-up Mangusto (Fr) (Roderic O'Connor). Her second dam, Listed Prix Zeddaan runner-up Mantadive (Fr) (Okawango), is the leading performer out of Missanticia (Sicyos), herself a half-sister to G1 Prix Jacques Le Marois heroine Miss Satamixa (Fr) (Linamix {Fr}) and Listed Prix Melisande victrix Miss d'Ouilly (Fr) (Bikala {Ire}). The latter is the dam of five black-type performers headed by GIII Cardinal H. winner Miss Caerleona (Fr) (Caerleon).

Wootton Bassett Colt A New Rising Star At ParisLongchamp

Jean-Claude Rouget unveiled another TDN Rising Star at ParisLongchamp on Thursday as Nurlan Bizakov's Padishakh (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}–Penny Lane {Ger}, by Lord Of England {Ger}) scored with abundant promise in the Prix de Fontenoy over a mile for colts and gelding beginners. Anchored in fifth early by Cristian Demuro, the 100-30 second favourite tended to over-race but when asked to stretch two out found a 10.94 penultimate split to reach the Wertheimers' Speechman (Kingman {GB}) on the front end. Stretching away from the furlong pole, the bay hit the line strong with 2 1/2 lengths to spare over the eye-catching Juddmonte homebred Halfway Line (GB) (Zoffany {Ire}), with Speechman a further 1 1/4 lengths behind in third.

The winner, who cost €130,000 at the Arqana Deauville August Sale, is the third TDN Rising Star for his sire and hails from a strong German family. He is the second and currently last known foal out of Penny Lane, who was successful in the Listed Prix des Sablonnets and finished third in the G3 Prix Cleopatre. Her first foal, the 3-year-old filly Snap Ambush (Fr) by Wootton Bassett's son Almanzor (Fr) who was a €250,000 Arqana Deauville Select Sale graduate tragically broke down when looking in control of a Chelmsford handicap last month and had to be euthanised.

The listed-placed second dam Peace Time (Ger) (Surumu {Ger}) proved prolific at producing black-type performers, with five to boast of including Penny Lane. They are Lord Of England's G1 Preis der Diana heroine Palmas (Ger), the dual group 3 winner Peace Royale (Ger) (Sholokhov {Ire}), the G3 Fahrhofer Stutenpreis scorer Peaceful Love (Ger) (Dashing Blade {GB}) and the G2 Park Hill S. runner-up Phiz (Ger) (Galileo {Ire}). Peace Royale went on to produce the black-type winners Peace In Motion (Hat Trick {Jpn}) and Peace Society (Iffraaj {GB}), while Peaceful Love threw the G3 Prix la Force scorer Pao Alto (Fr) (Intello {Ger}) and Phiz the G2 Dubai Gold Cup-placed Al Madhar (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}). Another of her daughters Peace of Glory (Ger) also by Sholokhov was responsible for Peaches (Ger), a further Lord Of England who captured the Listed Winterkonigin Trial, and the G3 Zukunftsrennen third Peace Of Paris (Ger) (Helmet {Aus}).
