A 12-1 shot on Sunday, the bay held the lead for a few strides from the bell, and soon settled to stalk from midpack. In a solid rhythm by the midway point, Goldenas was asked for his best a half-mile from the wire and began to make in roads toward the front. In charge shortly before the 400-metre mark, Goldenas drew off to win by 1 1/2 lengths. He was chased across the line by the persistent duo of Winning Spirit (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}) and Relentless Voyager (GB) (Ulysses {Ire}), who were separated by a short head.

The €23,000 Goffs Autumn yearling was picked up by Razza Latina out of the Blackberry Road Stud draft last autumn, and drew off by five lengths when unveiled at Pisa in January. Second to Derby also ran Enigma Dei Grif (Ity) (Full Drago {Ity) in a 2000-metre conditions heat in March, the Fabrizio Cameli-owned colt was back in the winner's circle going that trip there in April.

Pedigree Notes

Formerly a member of the Darley roster, Golden Horn moved to Overbury Stud last July, and the winner is the first black-type winner out of his 2020 crop. Sporting 14 stakes winners, the 2015 Arc hero has sired multiple group winner Botanik (Ire), who is dual Group 1-placed, as well as Haskoy (GB) who won the G3 Aston Martin S. on Saturday, and G3 Sweet Solera S. victress West End Girl (GB).

The third foal and second stakes winner for his unraced dam after Prichi (Ire) (Awtaad {Ire}), Goldenas has a yearling half-sister by Mehmas (Ire) still to come. His second dam is a full-sister to German Classic winners Schiaparelli (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}), Samum (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}), and Salve Regina (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}), while this is also the extended family of G1 Deutsches Derby victor Sea The Moon (Ger) (Sea The Stars {Ire}).

Making his first start outside of Gulfstream Park, the 6-1 runner was left in the blocks and trailed early through the half in :46.01. Still outpaced by nearly the entire field, he began to make up ground with a two-wide move at the top of the stretch that brought him into contention. 49-1 longshot pacesetter Rome hung tough but wore down as Steal Sunshine went right on by on the inside to put daylight on his rival and win by 3 1/4 lengths.

“When he hit the hole in the stretch, he ran all the way to the wire,” winning jockey Leonel Reyes said. “I'm so happy because this is my first time at Ellis Park.”

The first foal out of a half-sister to GI Florida Derby runner-up Reveron (Songandaprayer), Steal Sunshine has a 2-year-old unraced half-sister by Midnight Lute, a yearling half-brother by Maximus Mischief, and a weanling half-sister by Flatter. His dam was bred back to Silver State for 2023. Click for the Equibase.com chart.

Tanking up to sit in midpack while glued to the rail, the Markus Klug-trained colt was a bit keen nearing the bend, but eventually settled down. He edged toward the front under his own power while still saving ground, and was tipped off the inside to make his run 800 metres from home. Employing a speedy turn of foot, he drew into contention at the 600-metre mark, but was passed by Tempesti (Ity) (Albert Dock {Jpn}), who rallied sharply and took over inside the final quarter-mile. Not letting that foe out of his sights, he dove back to the fence and just edged him by a neck. It was 3 1/4 lengths back to Frozen Day (Ire) (The Gurkha {Ire}) in third.

Lightly raced, the grey broke his maiden in the G3 Premio Berardelli in Rome last November, his third trip to the post. He was three-quarters of a length behind Martel (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) in the Listed Prix de l'Avre at ParisLongchamp in a warm-up for this test on May 5.

Pedigree Notes

Ardakan is one of 19 black-type winners, 14 at group level, for his shuttle sire Reliable Man. The grey has three Group 1 winners to his credit–Miami Bound (NZ), Inspirational Girl (NZ), and Miss Sentimental (NZ)–from his time spent shuttling to New Zealand. Sternkoenig (Ire) counts Ardakan as one of seven group winners among his 17 stakes winners as a broodmare sire. Also grey and tracing tail-male back to Nasrullah through the Grey Sovereign (GB) line, his daughters have produced three Group 1 winners led by the globetrotting Ivanhowe (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), and the G1 Deutsches Derby winners Windstoss (Ger) (Shirocco {Ger}) and Weltstar (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}). The latter pair are both out of the winning mare Wellenspiel (Ger).

Stakes placed in Germany at three, Alaskakonigin (Ger) (Sternkoenig {Ire}) improved to take the Listed Grosser Preis der Sparkasse Dortmund over 2000 metres as a 4-year-old. Her first foal, Astor (Ger) (Siyouni {Fr}), was a winner, and the German stakes winner Alaskasonne (Fr) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), who ran third in the G2 Carl Jaspers Preis was her second foal. The latter holds an engagement in Tuesday's G2 Prix Corrida at Saint-Cloud. Ardakan is her third produce, while her Nathaniel (Ire) foal of 2020 died. A half-sister to multiple stakes winner and dual Group 3-placed Alicante (Ger) (Lando {Ger}), her latest produce is a yearling colt by Best Solution (Ire) already named Abanos (GB). Another half-sister to Alaskakonigin, the Dashing Blade (GB) filly Andrea (Ger), ran third in the G1 Preis der Diana (German Oaks) in 2009. The fourth dam, Anstandige (Ger) (Star Appeal {Ire}) was a half-sister to the high-class runner and influential matriarch Anna Paola (Ger) (Prince Ippi {Ger}).

The heavy going did not phase the grey and he perched in a tugging second shortly after the gates flew with Crystal Drake (Ity) (Full Drago {Ity}) leading the vanguard. Positions were largely unchanged as the field exited the turn and began to race up the lengthy stretch and the 5-2 chance had edged up to the leader's flank by the 600-metre mark. Switched off the rail, the Darius Racing colourbearer traded blows with Crystal Drake, before sticking his neck in front at the two pole. It was a cakewalk from there, as Ardakan burst away to win by six good-looking lengths. Crystal Drake stayed on gamely to keep second, a head in front of Wonka Willy (Ire) (Estidhkaar {Ire}), with that pair another four lengths clear of the remainder.

Pedigree Notes
The 17th black-type winner for his sire, Ardakan is also the 11th group winner. Reliable Man's stallion resume also features a trio of Group 1 winners-Miami Bound (NZ), Inspirational Girl (NZ), and Miss Sentimental (NZ)-all in the Southern Hemisphere.

Ardakan is the second stakes winner for German listed winner Alaskakonigin after Listed Diana Trial heroine Alaskasonne (Fr) (Soldier Hollow {GB}). The last known foal out of the gray is the weanling colt Abanos (GB) (Best Solution {Ire}).

Sent off at 6-1, the Grizzetti Galoppo trainee broke last and soon secured a position near the tail of the field in the heavy going as Eulaila (Ity) (Arcano {Ire}) led by open lengths. Saving ground against the fence, Sopran Basilea improved to midfield on the bend and was moving with a full head of steam in the lane. She pounced just inside the furlong mark and won going away by three-quarters of a length to favoured Eudaimonia (Fr) (Vision D'Etat {Fr}). It was a length back to Amazing Grace (Ger) (Protectionist {Ger}), who was a nose to the good of Cima Star (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}).

Off the mark in Milan on her second start in March, the chestnut ran second in a conditions race there one month on. She captured the Listed Premio Mario Incisa della Rocchetta there on May 21, but was unplaced in the G2 Premio Oaks d'Italia (Italian Oaks) on June 6. Given some time off, Sopran Basilea returned to run third in a local conditions heat on Sept. 12 and ran out a one-length winner in the Verziere Mem Aldo Cirla on Oct. 12.

Pedigree Notes

Night of Thunder has 24 stakes winners to his credit, and Sopran Basilea is one of 14 at group level. Thundering Nights (Ire) and Kukeracha (NZ) are his pair of top-level winners.

Although unplaced, Kathy Best has left 10 foals so far, with five of them winners and Sopran Basilea is the best of the lot. Kathy Best is a half-sister to Italian Group 3 winners Kathy Dream (Ire) (Arcano {Ire}) and Kathy College (Ire) (College Chapel {GB}), and the stakes winner Kathy Pekan (Ire) (Sri Pekan).

Sent off at 6-5, the crowd's pick raced last of all in the bog-like going, as Alastor (Ire) (Helmet {Aus}) cut out the early running. Making up ground down the long straight, Skalleti raced out in the center of the course and was within striking distance with a quarter mile to travel. He quickly took over leadership duties shortly thereafter and resisted the late charge of Flag's Up (Ire) (War Command) and Brentford Hope (GB) (Camelot {GB}) to win by two lengths. The margin between the latter pair was 3 1/4 lengths at the line.

Jean-Claude Seroul's 6-year-old has enjoyed his best season to date this term, which kicked off with a win in the G3 Prix Exbury at Saint-Cloud in March. ParisLongchamp's G2 Prix d'Harcourt went his way on Apr. 11 and he scored his first Group 1 win in the G1 Prix d'Ispahan on May 30. Given a brief freshening, Skalleti returned with a five-length win in Munich's G1 Grosser Dallmayr-Preis-Bayerisches Zuchtrennen on July 25. He found several too good on Sept. 12, running fourth in the G2 Prix Foy to Deep Bond (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}).

Pedigree Notes

The second foal and most decorated offspring of his stakes-winning dam Skallet, who was also placed in the G3 Prix Fille de l'Air, G3 Prix Penelope and G3 Prix Andre Baboin-Grand Prix des Provinces, Skalleti is followed by the triple group winner Skazino (Fr) (Kendargent {Fr}), who was also second in this year's G1 Prix Royal-Oak.

Breaking from the rail, the filly raced one off the fence and just behind a rival in second. Purciaretta spent the middle part of the race with her head angled toward the grandstand, but straightened out and took over by the 200-metre mark. Fellow filly Stay Kitten was second.

The fifth foal out of the winning Sharqawiyah, Purciaretta is a half-sister to the Acclamation (GB) filly Abby Hatcher (Ire), successful in the GIII Chicago S.

Second in a local debutante heat over 1000 metres on May 1, the bay graduated by three lengths switched to the all-weather here just eight days later and was making his fifth start in the Gran Criterium. The 7-1 shot was widest of all in a battling fourth through the early stages as Il Sindacalista (Ire) (Bungle Inthejungle {GB}) set the pace with ears pricked. Full of run at the half-way point, Don Chicco had to adjust slightly as Some Respect veered into his lane, and although erratic in the stretch, forged past that foe to win. Some Respect was 2 1/4 lengths ahead of Baghed (GB) (Twilight Son {GB}) at the line, three-quarters of a length in advance of Vincere Insieme (Ire) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}). Il Sindacalista faded to last of five.

Pedigree Notes
Don Chicco is one of three black-type winners for young sire El Kabeir (Scat Daddy) and the first at group level. The Yeomanstown Stud-based stallion's Masekela (Ire) was second in the G2 Superlative S.

The fifth foal and second winner out of the unraced Otrooha, Don Chicco is followed by a yearling filly and a weanling colt both by Massaat (Ire). This is the extended family of dual G2 Hardwicke S. hero Maraahel (Ire) (Alzao), who was also runner-up in the G1 Juddmonte International S., as well as G1 Lockinge S. victor Mustashry (GB) (Tamayuz {GB}).

The 6-5 crowd's pick tracked the pace in sixth through the early going as Terra Del Sole (Ire) (Footstepsinthesand {GB}) showed the way. That rival hugged the rail into the home straight as the rest of the field shifted away from the inside and was still clinging to the lead with 400 metres remaining. Asked for her bid out in the centre of the course, the bay drew level with new leader Jacinda at the furlong grounds, dismissed that rival handily and quickened well to win going away. Jacinda was 1 3/4 lengths to the good of a stubborn Terra Del Sole in third.

Pedigree Notes

Atamisque is the first foal out of Aury Touch, who won a pair of Italian listed stakes and was second in another six. After foaling the winner, the daughter of Pounced has since produced a yearling filly named French Fries (Ire) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}) and a weaning colt by Gleneagles (Ire). The dam is a half-sister to the group-placed Amyntas (Ity) (Desert Prince {Ire}), while Atamisque's third dam is three-time U.S. graded winner Nasty Storm (Gulch), who was also second in the GI Spinaway S. The last-named is the dam of dual Group 3 winner and G1 Phoenix S. third Actress (Ire) (Declaration of War).
