Dubawi’s Emily Dickinson Dominant In The Curragh Cup

Making it another big day in Kildare for Ballydoyle, Emily Dickinson (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) brought up a treble for O'Brien and Moore in the G2 Comer Group International Curragh Cup on Saturday. Fourth on unsuitably quick ground in the G1 Gold Cup at Royal Ascot last month, the G3 Loughbrown S. and Listed Vintage Crop S. winner had it all falling into place after the rain and was able to wait patiently in mid-division early.

Surrendering first run to market-rival Rosscarbery (Ger) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) at the top of the straight, the 6-4 favourite was under a ride as that rival's jockey Billy Lee took a look around to check their progress two out. While he would have been happy enough there, he wasn't as the dark blue Magnier silks loomed at his side less than a furlong later and Emily Dickinson had soon overhauled the Twomey runner before staying on powerfully to win by three lengths.

“I was a bit worried that she was a couple of pieces of work short, but she loves that ground and grows another leg on it,” O'Brien said. “She loves being ridden like that, is very genuine and tries very hard. Ryan gave her a peach, he filled her with confidence. He said going to the start he knew she was different, obviously she loves that ease in the ground. She would run every day on fast ground and come out of it perfect–she could go to Goodwood, but after today we know that ground is important to her. If there is no ease in the ground at Goodwood she won't run and we'll keep her for the autumn.”

 

Pedigree Notes

Impeccably-bred, Emily Dickinson is the best of three foals of racing age out of the high-class Chicquita (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}), whose finest hour came when winning the G1 Irish Oaks on this card. Her first was the G3 Silver Flash S.-placed Secret Thoughts (War Front), while her second was the GI American Oaks runner-up Nicest (Ire) (American Pharaoh) who was also third behind Snowfall (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) in the 2021 Irish Oaks. The second dam is the listed-winning Prudenzia (Ire) (Dansili {GB}), dam of the stable's prolific top-level performer Magic Wand (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) who got her win at that level in the MacKinnon S.

Prudenzia, who also supplied Dubawi's G3 Prix Penelope winner and G1 Prix de Diane runner-up Philomene (Ire) and the group-placed Enemy (GB) (Muhaarar {GB}) and Je Ne Regretterien (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), is kin to the G3 Prix de Lutece winner Pacifique (Ire) who shares Montjeu as a sire with Chicquita and is in turn the dam of another Lutece scorer in Paix (Ire) also by Muhaarar and the G2 Prix Greffulhe-placed Sir Bob Parker (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}). This is also the family of the Listed Lingfield Derby Trial winner English King (Fr) (Camelot {GB}) and the G1 Oaks, Irish Oaks and Yorkshire Oaks heroine Alexandrova (Ire) (Sadler's Wells). Chicquita's as-yet unraced 3-year-old full-sister to Emily Dickinson is named Beware (Ire), while her 2-year-old filly also by Dubawi is named Magical World (Ire). She also has a colt foal by Wootton Bassett (GB).

Starspangledbanner’s Aristia Wins The Romanet

   There was no fairytale at Deauville on Sunday as Verry Elleegant (NZ) (Zed {NZ}) failed to fire on her European bow in the G1 Darley Prix Jean Romanet won from the front by Elizabeth “Bunny” Roberts's Aristia (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}). Aristia had found only Nashwa (GB) (Frankel {GB}) too strong in the G1 Nassau S. at Goodwood last time July 28 and that form saw to it that the Richard Hannon trainee traded at only 4-1 as Sean Levey sought to dictate to suit. Kept company by Rosscarbery (Ger) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) throughout, the bay ultimately had too much pace where it counted and found the line a neck ahead of that rival, with another 1 1/4 lengths back to Ebaiyra (Distorted Humor) in third. The 12-5 favourite Verry Elleegant went to post with positive vibes surrounding her, but was detached early and failed to get out of last place at any stage.

“It's amazing. Winning a Group 1 race here in France is hard to achieve–we've had many places, including an hour ago, but she is a very brave and tough filly,” Hannon said. “She can dictate the pace or come from behind, but from the one draw, Sean did well to let her go on. She's had her ups and downs, but she came in her coat very late in the season and that is why she is doing real well only now. She is a genuine filly. Jamie Magee had her for a period over the winter and he has done an excellent job and deserves a mention. The Opera on Arc day is a possibility, but also the Fillies' and Mares' race on Champions day.”

Roberts, president of Jersey's race club and sister of Robert Barnett whose Time Charter (Ire) achieved renown in the '80s, has had offers to refuse along the way for the winner, whose career began with a win at 20-1 at Newbury last April. Third in that track's Listed Haras De Bouquetot Fillies' Trial before upsetting Alpine Star (Ire) (Sea The Moon {Ger}) in York's Listed Lyric Fillies' S. either side of an eighth in the G2 Ribblesdale S., she rounded off her 2021 campaign with a below-par ninth in the G2 Prix de la Nonette here 12 months ago. Returning to be second in the G2 Middleton Fillies' S. back at York May 12, she threw in another bad one when ninth in Royal Ascot's Listed Wolferton S. June 14 before taking it to a new level in the Nassau and this prize which often falls to an improver.

Pedigree Notes:

Aristia's dam Aloisi (GB) (Kalanisi {Ire}), who also produced the Australian stakes winner Glorious Sinndar {Fr) (Sinndar {Ire}), is a daughter of the Listed Prix Rose de Mai winner and G3 Prix Penelope-placed Bellona (Ire) (Bering {GB}). She is in turn responsible for Es Que (GB) (Inchinor {GB}), whose four stakes winners are headed by the G1 Hong Kong Vase hero Dominant (Ire) (Cacique {Ire}) and the G2 Lennox S.-winning sire Es Que Love (Ire) (Clodovil {Ire}). The third dam is the G3 Prix de Royaumont scorer Bellarida (Fr) (Bellypha {Ire}), whose G3 Prix de Flore-winning daughter In Clover (GB), also by Inchinor, produced a trio of top-level winners in Dansili's We Are (Ire) and With You (GB) and Frankel's Call The Wind (GB). Aloisi's 2-year-old colt by Aclaim (Ire) was a 52,000gns purchase by Rabbah Bloodstock at the Tattersalls December Yearling Sale, while she also has a yearling colt by Bungle Inthejungle (GB) due to sell at the upcoming Goffs Orby and a filly foal by Gregorian (Ire).

Sea The Stars’ Rosscarbery Prevails In Stanerra Thriller

Gaining some compensation for her controversial disqualification from third place in last Sunday's G1 Pretty Polly S., Robert Moran's Rosscarbery (Ger) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) edged out Emily Dickinson (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) in a pulsating finale to Thursday's G3 Irish Stallion Farms EBF Stanerra S. at Leopardstown. Always travelling strongly on the outer halfway down the field, the Paddy Twomey-trained 15-8 favourite struck for home passing two out and found the line a short head in front of Ballydoyle's unexposed runner. The print showed that Billy Lee had prevailed by a short head, with 3 3/4 lengths back to Lady Hayes (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) in third.

 

Adaptable at a range of trips from a mile to this 14-furlong stamina test, Rosscarbery has won all starts for Twomey bar the aforementioned Pretty Polly, with the G3 Munster Oaks over a mile and a half at Cork June 8 being her prior best. “She's got a bit of class, she's tough and she carried a penalty there,” Twomey said. “A mile-and-six is probably as far as she wants to go and she could go for the [G1] Prix de Royallieu on Arc weekend over a mile-and-six, the Yorkshire Oaks, the [G2] Blandford over ten furlongs and I've also entered her in a group one in Germany over a mile-and-a-half.”

Rosscarbery's listed-winning dam is a daughter of Rosenreihe (Ire) (Catcher In the Rye {Ire}), who took the G1 Preis der Diana and also produced the G1 Deutsches Derby third Rosenpurpur (Ger) (Pour Moi {Ire}) and the Listed Nijinsky S. third Ruling (Ger) (Camelot {GB}).

Ruler Of The World’s La Petite Coco Back With A Bang In Pretty Polly

Highlighting a stellar training performance by Paddy Twomey, Team Valor's G2 Blandford S. winner La Petite Coco (Ire) (Ruler Of The World {Ire}–La Petite Virginia {Ger}, by Konigstiger {Ger}) led home My Astra (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) and stablemate Rosscarbery (Ger) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) on her seasonal debut in Sunday's G1 Alwasmiyah Pretty Polly S. at The Curragh. Let go at 9-1 with the punters' confidence shaky, the bay tracked the clear leading pair early with Billy Lee showing the same unerring sense of timing he had in the Listed Dash here a day earlier. In front with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining, she pulled out extra to deny the William Haggas-trained 11-4 favourite My Astra by half a length, with the progressive G3 Munster Oaks winner Rosscarbery 1 1/4 lengths away in third. In a later twist, the Cashel-based Twomey was denied a dream result as Rosscarbery was disqualified due to a discrepancy in the weighing-in procedure of jockey Wayne Lordan and the fourth-placed Thunder Kiss (Ire) (Night of Thunder {Ire}) was moved up. “She's a cool customer and takes everything in her stride,” Twomey said of the winner. “She's a joy to have and I'm lucky to have her. She's never put a foot wrong–she's tough and she's doing it herself.”

Trained on her first two starts by Andrew Kinirons, La Petite Coco's initial foray for this stable resulted in a 4 1/4-length defeat of the subsequent G1 Irish 1000 Guineas fourth Belle Image (Ire) (Kodi Bear {Ire}) over a mile at Killarney last May and her next stop happened to be her last defeat as she was second in the 10-furlong Listed Naas Oaks Trial the following month. After a return confidence-boosting win at Killarney in a conditions event over 11 furlongs in July, she registered a 5 1/2-length success in Cork's G3 Give Thanks S. in August before inching out Love (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in the Blandford here in September, where last year's Pretty Polly heroine Thundering Nights (Ire) (Night of Thunder {Ire}) was three lengths back in third. “The plan was to start mid-season and I didn't think it was outrageous giving her an Arc entry the other day,” Twomey added. “The Yorkshire Oaks, the [QICPO Champions] Fillies and Mares at Ascot and the Breeders' Cup are on her agenda, as a mile and a half is her optimum.”

Barry Irwin was keen to praise Twomey. “He's a fantastic trainer. When we bought the filly we sent her directly to Paddy, we had good hopes but we didn't know that she was this good,” he said. “Today I thought that if she really is as good as he thinks we could win it but I can't believe she hung in there, at the end she was running on fumes. She's a gutsy horse. I've backed off from racing in the United States, I'm not happy with it there. I think it will be getting better, but we've had some issues with guys taking an edge. I have a lot more faith in what's going on here and it's more fun. I've been coming here since 1971, raced a few horses and we've decided to send a few more over here. Our partners enjoy it, I've got 12 people here right now on a trip. We went to Paddy's yesterday and now we're going to England and France. I'm trying to promote to have more racing over here. I've just a few with Paddy but I'm sure we'll have more.”

William Haggas said of My Astra, who had booked her ticket with a 12-length success in Ayr's Listed Rothesay S. and proved to be one of the few who came from far back to get involved in a finish during the weekend, “She ran a great race and was probably beaten by a better one. She was a little bit wide, but I think she needs a bit of space. I didn't see her coming at Ayr and she bolted up, so I wanted to see her confirm that and she did. She wants sloshing soft and Danny [Tudhope] said this is a bit tacky. I think we'll drop Purplepay (Fr) (Zarak {Fr}) back to a mile and try and find a group one race race for her, but it might be a bit difficult. She has penalties now she's won a group two.”

Rosscarbery's disqualification came as a result of Lordan weighing in five pounds light and it is believed that a malfunction of the scales was to blame. Twomey said, “The clerk of the scales told Wayne that he was five pounds too heavy, so he made him take down the saddle and take out the weights and then get back on the scales. He did that and the clerk of the scales then cleared him. He weighed him out with the correct weight and sent him out to the race. Then when he came back the clerk of the scales told him he was five pounds light. I brought the saddle from the weighing room to the filly and put it on. I was under pressure for time, as I had two runners and they took a lot of time messing around, putting in weight and taking out weight. The same saddle that went out came back in and I guess we will have to appeal it. It's a glitch with the clerk of the scales, it's an issue with the IHRB and I'd say my owner won't be impressed.”

Pedigree Notes:

La Petite Coco is the first runner from three live foals out of the unraced La Petite Virginia, who is a half-sister to the G1 Deutsches Derby hero Lavirco (Ger) (Konigsstuhl {Ger}) and his G2 Deutsches St Leger-winning full-brother Laveron (Ger) who was also third in the domestic Derby. La Petite Virginia is out of La Virginia (Ger) (Surumu {Ger}), who is also the second dam of the G3 Badener Stutenpreis winner and G1 Premio Lydia Tesio runner-up Lacy (Ger) (Authorized {Ire}) and the G3 Preis des Winterfavoriten winner Langtang (Ger) (Campanologist).

La Virginia's group 3-winning full-sister La Colorada (Ger) produced the triple group 1-winning champion and leading sire Lomitas (GB), with this being the dam line of Gestut Fahrhof's blue hen Love In (GB) whose descendants include another Deutsches Derby hero in Lagunas (GB), the leading sire Lord of England (Ger) and the G1 Prix de l'Opera heroine Lady Marian (Ger) (Nayef). La Petite Virginia also has the unraced 2-year-old filly La Petite Sissi (Ire) (Ivawood {Ire}).
