Miramar Pounces Late For G3 Prix Sigy Triumph

Off the board in two prior starts at black-type level, Carlos and Yann Lerner trainee Miramar (GB) (Profitable {Ire}) lined out for Wednesday's 5 1/2-furlong G3 Prix Sigy at Chantilly coming back off an Apr. 4 conditions second over the track's six-furlong strip on seasonal return and she swooped late to snag a career high in ultimately snug fashion. Last term's Listed Prix Zeddaan fourth raced off the tempo in rear through halfway. Scrubbed along to close passing the quarter-mile pole, the 67-5 chance came under sterner urging thereafter and kept on relentlessly out wide to deny last term's G2 Flying Childers S. victor Caturra (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) by 3/4-of-a-length nearing the line.

“She was an easy Class 1 winner last year and we never had any doubt about her quality, but everything went wrong when we ran her in a Listed race on her last start of 2021,” revealed Yann Lerner. “We then gave her a long break off on the farm and decided to target this race when she returned to training as there are so few Group 3 races for 3-year-olds over this type of distance. She ran great on her first start [of the year], but we knew she needed the race and had improved a lot. She proved us right in very good style. Let's see how she comes out of this race before committing to any targets, but she will be kept in sprint races and we might be tempted by a race abroad in due course.”

Miramar, who hails from the family of stakes-winning matriarch La Meilleure (Ire) (Lord Gayle), is the fourth of six foals and one of three scorers from as many runners out of a winning full-sister to G3 Leopardstown 1000 Guineas Trial third What A Style (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}). The March-foaled bay is a half to Listed Silver Tankard S. third The Rosstafarian (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), the hitherto unraced 2-year-old fill Harriet's Angel (GB) (Harry Angel {Ire}) and a yearling filly by Blue Point (Ire).

Dubawi Anchors Darley Europe Roster at £250,000

Dubawi (Ire) (Dubai Millennium {GB}) will stand for an unchanged fee of £250,000 at Dalham Hall Stud and anchors the 2022 roster for Darley Europe. His fee is the most expensive in Europe.

He enjoyed a notable success at the two-day Breeders' Cup World Championships, with three winners in a single year, the first sire to reach that mark in the 37-year history of the Breeders' Cup. The GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf went to Modern Games (Ire), Saturday's GI Breeders' Cup Mile was won by new Kildangan Stud resident Space Blues (Ire) and Dubawi's trio was rounded out by the victory of Yibir (GB) in the GI Breeders' Cup Turf. In addition, Dubawi is the world's leading sire of group winners with 23 and stakes winners at 37.

A trio of new stallions will join the Darley Europe roster in 2022, with Palace Pier (GB) (Kingman {GB}) leading the way at £55,000 at Dalham Hall. One of the most brilliant milers seen in recent years with five Group 1 victories to his name, the son of Kingman won the G1 St. James's Palace S. at Royal Ascot in 2020 and later scored a victory in the G1 Prix Jacques le Marois. Kept in training in 2021, he added another trio of top-flight races-the G1 Lockinge S. at Sandown, Royal Ascot's G1 Queen Anne S. and a second edition of the Marois. The ultra-consistent bay retires with nine wins in 11 starts and $2,408,980 in earnings, rounded out by a neck second in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. on QIPCO British Champions Day.

Making his debut at Kildangan Stud is Space Blues, fresh off his Breeders' Cup Mile win. Priced at €17,500, the son of Miss Lucifer (Fr) (Noverre) captured the G1 Prix Maurice de Gheest in 2020 and also added the G1 Prix de la Foret prior to his Mile tally. He retires with a mark of 19-11-3-1 and $2,585,725 in earnings.

Undefeated as a juvenile including in the G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere, Victor Ludorum (GB) (Shamardal) progressed to take the G1 French 2000 Guineas at three. Out of Antiquities (GB) (Kaldounevees {Fr}), his fee will be €15,000 at Haras du Logis. He also took the G3 Prix Messidor as a 4-year-old and brings a mark of 14-5-0-5 and $864,838 to stud.

Dubawi's son Night of Thunder (Ire) sired a pair of Group 1 winners in 2021 and he will command €75,000, tops of the Kildangan Stud roster. Thundering Nights (Ire) won the GI Pretty Polly S., while Kukeracha (NZ) was in action Down Under in the G1 Queensland Derby. They are two of 12 2021 black-type winners for their sire, who also sired four other group winners this year, among them Suesa (Ire) and GIII Athenia S. winner Pocket Square (GB).

Standing at £45,000 in 2022 is Too Darn Hot (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) at Dalham Hall. Flawless in a juvenile campaign that culminated in a victory in the G1 Dewhurst S., the bay backed up that form with another pair of Group 1 wins as a 3-year-old in the G1 Prix Jean Prat and G1 Sussex S. The son of Dar Re Mi (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}) was also Classic placed with a runner-up performance in the G1 QIPCO 2000 Guineas.

Esteemed sprinter Blue Point (Ire) (Shamardal) will stand for €40,000 at Kildangan. A dual winner of the G1 King's Stand S., the bay also won the G1 Diamond Jubilee and G1 Al Quoz Sprint. Both Too Darn Hot and Blue Point will have their first yearlings in 2022.

Three-time Group 1 winner Pinatubo (Ire) (Shamardal) is expecting is first foals in 2022, and will stand for £35,000 at Dalham Hall. Also welcoming their first progeny in 2022 are the Kildangan duo of Ghaiyyath (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) at €25,000, a four-time top-level hero, and Earthlight (Ire) (Shamardal) at €18,000. The latter landed a pair of juvenile Group 1s in 2019-the Prix Morny and the Middle Park S.

Two stallions that celebrated black-type success with their first runners this season were Profitable (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) and Ribchester (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}). The Kildangan residents will each stand for €12,500. The only stallion to receive a fee increase across the entire roster, Profitable sired 25 winners this year so far, and already has a group winner with G2 Queen Mary S. victress Quick Suzy (Ire). Ribchester has Listed Doncaster S. winner Flaming Rib (Ire) to date.

Dalham stalwarts and Group 1 sires New Approach (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Iffraaj (GB) (Zafonic) are listed as private and £17,500, respectively. In Ireland, fellow Group 1 sire Teofilo (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) will command €30,000. See below for the full 2022 Darley Europe roster.

Sam Bullard, Director of Stallions, said, “We are thrilled to be introducing three outstanding multiple Group 1 winners to a very strong roster, deep on quality and achievement. Following last year's three champion additions in Ghaiyyath, Earthlight and Pinatubo together with Blue Point and Too Darn Hot in 2020, we are confident of giving breeders every chance of benefitting from the wonderfully positive sales season we have just enjoyed.”

Quick Suzy Will Skip Cheveley Park in Favour of Dundalk

Group 2 heroine Quick Suzy (Ire) (Profitable {Ire}), who won the G2 Queen Mary S. at Royal Ascot, will not start in the Sept. 25 G1 Cheveley Park S. and instead target an Oct. 1 listed event at Dundalk prior to a run in the GII Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Del Mar in November. Purchased privately by Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners prior to her Royal Ascot heroics, the filly was second in the May 16 G3 Coolmore Stud Irish EBF Fillies Sprint S. and, in her only race since Royal Ascot, ran ninth in the G1 Prix Morny in testing conditions she did not care for on Aug. 22.

“Quick Suzy's main objective this year is the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint,” said Eclipse spokesman Joseph Burke of the Gavin Cromwell-trained filly. “That has always been her main target–that's what she was purchased to do.

“With that in mind, Gavin suggested we have changed her prep race and she's going to go for a five-furlong listed race at Dundalk on Oct. 1.

“She's had her three runs in Ireland, then she travelled to England for a run and then she travelled to France.

“Travel is a little bit more difficult than it used to be. If we were to go for the Cheveley Park, she'd go across on the boat and then it's six hours in a box down to Newmarket, run in a Group One and then six hours back to the boat again before being put on a flight to America a few weeks later. We also don't know what ground we'll encounter there, whereas at Dundalk it's a given. We all agreed that on balance, it is the right move with a view to having her peak at Del Mar.”

Breakthrough For Profitable As Quick Suzy Wins the Queen Mary

As much as ever, Wednesday's G2 Queen Mary S. was all about speed from pillar-to-post and there was none slicker than Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners' aptly-named Quick Suzy (Ire) who provided her first-season sire Profitable (Ire) with a landmark first black-type winner. Runner-up in the six-furlong G3 Coolmore Stud Irish EBF Fillies Sprint S. at Naas last time May 16, the Gavin Cromwell-trained bay who was another drawn closest to the stand's rail was tanking along early alongside the 9-4 favourite Twilight Gleaming (Ire) (National Defense {GB}) with Artos (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) in front on the far side. Inside the final two furlongs, it was between the stand's-rail runners and the 8-1 shot Quick Suzy gradually asserted from the furlong pole under Gary Carroll to subdue Twilight Gleaming by 1 1/4 lengths. The 50-1 closer Cheerupsleepyjean (Fr) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) was the eye-catcher from rear, finishing 1 3/4 lengths away in third and a neck in front of the trail-blazing Artos. “Quick Suzy–she's that and everything else,” the winning rider said. “It was very straightforward. I thought the American horse would go a real good gallop and I'd be chasing, but I was actually close to her and every step of the way I was waiting and waiting. Inside the two, she got maybe half a length on me but I chased her down and outbattled her to the line. She went quick last time over six on slow ground, as she has so much natural speed, but burnt off in the last 100 yards and ran out of petrol. She is a very good filly and really got to the line well today.”

Runner-up on debut to the impressive Elliptic (Ire) (Caravaggio) over five furlongs at Tipperary on debut Apr. 20, Quick Suzy bounced out of that effort to record a 5 1/2-length success over an extra furlong at The Curragh May 3 before being worn down late by Hermana Estrella (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) in the Fillies Sprint. Gavin Cromwell, who is best known as a jumps trainer of note having saddled the winners of the Champion Hurdle, Stayers' Hurdle and Spa Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, was starstruck. “It's unbelievable, fantastic–it's such an occasion,” he said. “I was very confident she'd run a big race, but didn't know where she laid with the English and American horses.”

Quick Suzy's dam Snooze (Ire) (Marju {Ire}), who also has a yearling full-brother to the winner, is a half to Aria Di Festa (Ire) (Orpen) who was second in the G3 Premio Regina Elena and third in the G2 Prix de Sandringham before producing the G3 Premio Primi Passi winner and G2 Gran Criterium runner-up Aria Importante (GB) (Twilight Son {GB}). The winner shares her multiple listed-placed second dam Alarme Belle (GB) (Warning {GB}) with the listed winner and G2 Prix de Sandringham runner-up Mixed Intention (Ire) (Elusive City), who is herself the dam of this month's G1 Prix du Jockey Club third Millebosc (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}). This is also the family of the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and G1 Prix d'Ispahan heroine Danseuse du Soir (Ire) (Thatching {Ire}), who accounts for the G1 Gran Criterium winner Scintillo (GB) (Fantastic Light).
