Awtaad’s Al Qareem All Heart In Paris

ParisLongchamp's mammoth Arc weekend opened with the G2 Qatar Prix Chaudenay, which went the way of Karl Burke trainee Al Qareem (Ire) (Awtaad {Ire}–Moqla {GB}, by Teofilo {Ire}) after a thrilling finale to the 15-furlong contest. The 3-year-old gelding, who had snagged handicaps at Nottingham and York earlier this term, was last seen finishing seventh in Goodwood's G3 Gordon S. and went postward as an 11-2 chance. Tracking the leader in second until taking over at the entrance to the straight, he was scrubbed along when tackled approaching the quarter-mile pole and stayed on in resolute fashion under a continued drive to deny Sober (Fr) (Camelot {GB}) by a nostril after a ding-dong tussle.

“He's been mega unlucky a few times this year and I'm so delighted to win a big one with him,” commented owner Nick Bradley. “It was my fault [when he was fourth in the G2 Queen's Vase] at [Royal] Ascot as I told Clifford [Lee] to make the running on him, but he just did too much and was too free. He was a bit unlucky at Newmarket [when second in the G3 Bahrain Trophy] and Goodwood didn't go to plan, but the form of that race is amazingly strong. I'll have a good look at the programme book, but he could go to Saudi Arabia and there's also the Gold Cup on Dubai World Cup night at Meydan.”

Al Qareem, half-brother to a yearling colt by Muhaarar (GB), is the second of three foals produced by an unraced half-sister to G3 Earl of Sefton S. victor Mahsoob (GB) (Dansili {Ire}) and becomes the third pattern-race winner for his sire (by Cape Cross {Ire}). His second dam is the multiple stakes-placed Mooakada (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}), herself a granddaughter of G3 Prestige S. victrix and G1 1000 Guineas third Bint Shadayid (Nashwan). The latter is one of two stakes winners bred from G1 1000 Guineas and G1 Prix Marcel Boussac heroine Shadayid (Shadeed), whose descendants also include GIII Thunder Road S. winner and GI Shoemaker Mile runner-up Farhaan (Jazil).

Pattern Race Success For Heart’s Cry In France

Aidan O'Brien trainee Continuous (Jpn) (Heart's Cry {Jpn}–Fluff {Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}) notched a landmark score for his sire (by Sunday Silence) when snagging an Aug. 20 maiden over seven furlongs at the Curragh and maintained his perfect record with a battling success in a controversial renewal of Friday's one-mile G3 Prix Thomas Bryon Jockey Club du Turquie at Saint-Cloud. The eventual winner occupied a slot behind the leaders in third and was safely clear of trouble to his outer when British challenger Captain Wierzba (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}) parted company with Rossa Ryan at halfway, the rider having been shoved from his mount by Christophe Soumillon aboard Syros (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}). Rowed along to reduce arrears soon after turning for home, the 2-1 favourite Continuous was ridden to go second approaching the final furlong and kept on strongly under urging in the latter stages to prevail by 3/4-of-a-length from the subsequently demoted Syros. Soumillon was sanctioned with a 60-day ban Oct. 14 through Dec. 12) for dangerous riding, but will be permitted to take his booked rides at ParisLongchamp this weekend.

“It was a very good performance for a horse who had just run once to win a maiden,” commented Coolmore representative Hermine Bastide. “Aidan [O'Brien} was quite confident he would have no problems staying the distance. Looking at his pedigree on his dam's side, it suggested he'd be capable of handling soft going and Ryan [Moore] said the ground was okay for him. Aidan will talk to the owners and he could come back here for the [Oct. 22 G1] Criterium International.”

Continuous, half-brother to a yearling filly by Lord Kanaloa (Jpn) and a weanling colt by Wootton Bassett {GB}), is the third of five foals and one of two scorers out of a winning full-sister to G1 Moyglare Stud S. heroine Maybe (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}, herself the dam of G1 2000 Guineas-winning sire Saxon Warrior (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}). The March-foaled bay's dam is also a full-sister to dual Group 1-placed G3 Silver Flash S. victrix Promise To Be True (Ire). His stakes-winning second dam Sumora (Ire) (Danehill) is kin to G1 Oaks and G1 Preis der Diana (German Oaks) heroine Dancing Rain (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) from the family of multiple Group 1-winning sire Dr Devious (Ire) (Ahonoora {GB}).

Galileo’s Espionage A New Rising Star At The Curragh

A day after Ballydoyle had demonstrated the power of their 2-year-old reserves at Newmarket, Espionage (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) became the stable's 11th TDN Rising Star juvenile of 2022 in The Curragh's opening maiden on Sunday. Unlucky on debut when runner-up to stablemate and fellow TDN Rising Star Alexandroupolis (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) over an extended mile at Galway Sept. 6, the son of the G2 Ribblesdale S. winner Even Song (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) was sent forward by Ryan Moore dropping back to seven for this Williamhill.ie Irish EBF Maiden. Clear from two out on the far side, the 9-4 favourite had 1 3/4 lengths to spare over stablemate Sierra Blanca (Ire) (No Nay Never), a son of Alexandrova (Ire) (Sadler's Wells), at the line with another half a length back to the well-regarded Michael O'Callaghan trainee Djockovic (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) in third.

“He ran well the last day, when the other horse got up the rail and he had to come around,” Aidan O'Brien said of the imperious sire's 41st TDN Rising Star. “Ryan said he's babyish and when he got to the start he was a little bit anxious. He might go for something like the [G3] Killavullan or the [G3] Eyrefield at Leopardstown. We won't force him. He looks a middle-distance horse for next year and usually when you get a Galileo that wins over seven it bodes well.”

Even Song, who is a half-sister to the G1 St Leger and G1 QIPCO British Champions Fillies & Mares heroine Simple Verse (Ire) (Duke Of Marmalade {Ire}) and to the G2 Superlative S.-placed Maxentius (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}), also has a yearling full-sister to the winner and a filly foal by Wootton Bassett (GB) to come.

Morny Middle Park Double For No Nay Never’s Blackbeard

Confirming the form of the G1 Prix Morny on Saturday, Ballydoyle's Blackbeard (Ire) (No Nay Never) dominated Newmarket's G1 Juddmonte Middle Park S. as The Antarctic (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) delivered a one-two for the stable. Not content with a haul that already included the G3 Marble Hill and G2 Prix Robert Papin as well as the Deauville juvenile feature, the 10-3 joint-second favourite tracked the fast pace set by the Morny runner-up Persian Force (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) and was coaxed to that rival approaching the furlong pole with Ryan Moore's body language telling all. Sent clear with mainly hands and heels, Coolmore and Westerberg's indomitable performer hit the line typically strongly to record a two-length verdict over his stablemate who had run third at Deauville. Persian Force faded to be third, 1 1/4 lengths away, with the 15-8 favourite Marshman (GB) (Harry Angel {Ire}) only fifth having raced too keenly early.

 

“He has been very progressive, always, he has been from day one,” Aidan O'Brien said. “He often has to make his own running, as they don't go quick enough for him but always in his work he quickens very well from behind and we saw that today. He takes his work easy and is thriving, he never backs away from it.”

“He throws himself around, but there is no badness in him whatsoever,” his trainer added. He just starts stamping his feet if we ask him to stand too long and is like that at home, but he is very straightforward you just don't ask him to wait too long. He's that kind of personality–he's forward-going and if he was a human being he would say 'listen, just let me at it'–he likes going forward. He's very fast–we weren't sure how far he'd go early on and I think speed is his thing. I wouldn't be sure how much further he would go, but we'll re-assess him after today.”

Of The Antarctic, O'Brien said, “He's progressed hand over fist and is doing very well physically. He's on the upgrade and the stalls thing is getting better too. Tom said he stepped a little bit slow away and he has been doing that a little bit.”

Blackbeard, whose career began in early April with a win in the Dundalk maiden won by another former stable luminary in Caravaggio, is the first foal out of Muirin (Ire) (Born To Sea {Ire}) who is a daughter of the G3 Phoenix Sprint S. winner Girouette (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}). She is a half to the dam of the G3 John Porter S. and G3 Zetland S. scorer Max Vega (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), while the family includes the G1 Prix de Diane heroine Mrs. Penny (Great Nephew {GB}) and the 1000 Guineas heroine Hatoof (Irish River {Fr}). Muirin also has a yearling full-sister and a colt full-brother to Blackbeard, with the former selling on Tuesday as lot 93 on day one of the Goffs Orby.
