Sea La Rosa To The Fore In The Royallieu

Diverted to ParisLongchamp's G1 Qatar Prix de Royallieu after a headline-heavy week, G1 Melbourne Cup victrix Verry Elleegant (NZ) (Zed {NZ}) was unable to land a telling blow and trailed home seventh behind Sunderland Holdings' Sea La Rosa (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}–Soho Rose {Ire}, by Hernando {Fr}), who added to her pattern-race tally with a career high in the 14-furlong distaffers' feature. The William Haggas trainee arrived at the Bois de Boulogne venue having annexed Goodwood's July 30 G2 Lillie Langtry S. and Deauville's Aug. 21 G2 Prix de Pomone and lobbed along in third until improving one spot at halfway. Launching her bid going well passing the quarter-mile marker, the 13-5 favourite was shaken up with 300 metres remaining and ridden out in the closing stages to assert by a length from Jannah Flower (Ire) (Olympic Glory {Ire}).

“She's been incredible this year, and the backend of last year, and just seems to be getting better with each run,” reflected rider Tom Marquand. “She's got the heart and the talent to see it through and to get a Group 1 on the board for Mrs [Ling] Tsui is amazing. I'm very privileged to be a small part of it. I wouldn't have a clue what the plans are and it doesn't look like she's done yet.”

Christopher Tsui added, “I'm delighted with this victory and also very moved by it. I recall those moments, almost 30 years ago, when I witnessed the success of Urban Sea in the Arc. This story began with her and, since then, it has snowballed via Sea The Stars and his daughters Sea Of Class and Sea La Rosa. Regarding the filly's next race, we will all get together and mull it over, but nothing is decided yet.”

Bred in France by Ecurie des Monceaux, Sea La Rosa is a full-sister to this term's G3 Bahrain Trophy winner Deauville Legend (Ire). She is also a kin to G3 Derrinstown Stud 1000 Guineas Trial second Dean Street Doll (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}) and a yearling filly by Golden Horn (GB). Her stakes-winning second dam Soho Rose (Ire) (Hernando {Fr}) is a full-sister to G2 Pretty Polly S. victrix and stakes producer Hanami (GB) and a half-sister to the stakes-winning Dubai Rose (GB) (Dubai Destination). The latter produced The Juliet Rose (Fr) (Monsun {Ger}), a dual winner of this contest when it held Group 2 status.

Sea The Stars’s Sea La Rosa Prevails In The Pomone

Minutes after capturing the G3 Ballyogan S. at Naas on Sunday, the 2022 success story that is the William Haggas stable continued apace at Deauville as Somerville Lodge enjoyed a pattern-race double courtesy of Sunderland Holding's Sea La Rosa (Fr) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) in the G2 Darley Prix de Pomone. Saddled with a penalty for her success in Goodwood's G2 Qatar Lillie Langtry S. July 30, the Ecurie des Monceaux-bred 4-year-old was still hot property at 3-5 and set off in a close second behind compatriot Glenartney (GB) (Le Havre {Ire}) throughout the early stages. Having to work harder than those odds suggested to get to the front inside the final furlong, the homebred proved resolute for Tom Marquand to score by 3/4 of a length from Love Child (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), who denied the long-time leader the runner-up spot by a short head.

Jean Lesbordes was on hand to represent Sunderland Holding and said, “It is a great moment for me, as I picked this filly here at the sales for Mrs Tsui, who is such a great lady. She trusts me to represent her in France and when this filly won today, it was a flashback to great memories going through my head, with Urban Sea and my son Clement, who left us so young. Sea The Stars was such a great horse and he is such a good sire. He is the real deal, he has it all. I am not a trainer anymore, William Haggas is a great professional and he will decide on the filly's future.”

 

Pedigree Notes:
Sea La Rosa, who was also runner-up in the G2 Lancashire Oaks at Haydock July 2 having won the G3 Pinnacle S. over that course and distance May 28, was bred in France by Ecurie des Monceaux and is a full-sister to the recent G2 Great Voltigeur S. and G3 Bahrain Trophy winner Deauville Legend (Ire) and a half to the G3 Derrinstown Stud 1000 Guineas Trial runner-up Dean Street Doll (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}). The listed-winning second dam Soho Rose (Ire) (Hernando {Fr}) is a full-sister to the

G2 Pretty Polly S. winner and stakes producer Hanami (GB) and a half to another listed scorer in Dubai Rose (GB) (Dubai Destination), who produced the dual G2 Prix de Royallieu heroine The Juliet Rose (Fr) (Monsun {Ger}). Soho Rose's yearling filly is by Golden Horn (GB).

Sea The Stars’s Sea La Rosa On Top In The Lillie Langtry

Stamina was the prime requirement in Saturday's G2 Qatar Lillie Langtry S. on the final day of the Qatar Goodwood Festival and Sunderland Holding's Sea La Rosa (Fr) (Sea The Stars {Ire}–Soho Rose {Ire}, by Hernando {Fr}) came through with under a perfectly-judged ride from Tom Marquand. Settled third early several lengths off the lone leader Urban Artist (GB) (Cityscape {GB}), the William Haggas-trained 9-4 second favourite who was last seen finishing runner-up in the G2 Lancashire Oaks at Haydock July 2 enjoyed a cool ride and was in front passing the furlong pole en route to a length verdict over that enterprisingly-ridden rival, with the 13-8 favourite Emily Dickinson (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) a neck away in third having been even further detached for the most part. “Today was a weird race, but she's tough and she seemed to stay well,” Maureen Haggas said. “As soon as she hits the front, she stops so you have to get her there on the line.”

 

Sea La Rosa, who was successful in the Listed River Eden Fillies' S. over 13 furlongs on Lingfield's Polytrack in October, had returned to take Haydock's G3 Pinnacle S. May 28 before missing out to Free Wind (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) over the same course and 12-furlong distance in the Lancashire Oaks. With her main market-rival Emily Dickinson so far out of her ground, this was a race that fell right for her but she is a progressive type from the most consistent stable in the country this season where black-type races are concerned. “It's hard to tell how good she could be, because she's still improving and now she's won a group two race there's only one place to go,” Maureen Haggas added. “She gives everything and she's very admirable. She is in the Irish St Leger, but that is William's department.”

Tom Marquand commented, “It was a tough one, because we know Urban Artist stays very well and you never quite know how much a horse has left in front. This filly gives you great confidence on the way round, because she travels so strongly and you know she is going to grit it out. It was just a case of trying to pick her up at the right time. When you have one loose on the front end, you have to time it so your horse is catching it but with not enough time for the others to use you as a second wave. It's a hard one, but watching the Tour de France in the past week has probably helped me with that–except we didn't have a lead-out man.”

Bred in France by Ecurie des Monceaux with the French assimilation, Sea La Rosa is a full-sister to the recent G3 Bahrain Trophy winner Deauville Legend (Ire) and a half to the G3 Derrinstown Stud 1000 Guineas Trial runner-up Dean Street Doll (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}). The listed-winning second dam Soho Rose (Ire) (Hernando {Fr}) is a full-sister to the G2 Pretty Polly S. winner and stakes producer Hanami (GB) and a half to another listed scorer in Dubai Rose (GB) (Dubai Destination) who produced the dual G2 Prix de Royallieu heroine The Juliet Rose (Fr) (Monsun {Ger}). Soho Rose's yearling filly is by Golden Horn (GB).

Lillie Langtry To Conclude Glorious Week

The elite-level contests are done, track records have tumbled and Goodwood's five-day bonanza concludes with the G2 Qatar Lillie Langtry S. taking centre stage at the Sussex venue on Saturday.

The £300,000 14-furlong distaffers' test has fallen to favourites in six of the last nine editions and this year's market is headed by Sunderland Holding's G2 Lancashire Oaks runner-up Sea La Rosa (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) and Coolmore and Westerberg's G1 Irish Oaks fourth Emily Dickinson (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}). The former's stamina is not in question, according to William Haggas, with the Somerville Lodge trainer bidding to double his win tally after Baaeed's G1 Sussex S. success earlier in the week. “Sea La Rosa is very well and we have obviously had this race in mind since Haydock,” Haggas said. “She ran a very good race there on ground which we did not think suited her. She won over a mile and five [furlongs] at Lingfield and we think she'd get the trip without any problem, so we think she has got a chance.”

Irish To Buck The Trends?
Aidan O'Brien is in unfamiliar territory and yet to register a win, from seven runners, in the contest and is represented by the progressive Emily Dickinson, who was narrowly denied by Rosscarbery (Ger) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) in Leopardstown's G3 Stanerra S. earlier in the month before missing out on her Classic placing by a half-length last time. She will attempt to buck a trend which has seen just five sophomore triumphs and one Irish victory in 19 renewals.

Accompanying her on the trip from Ireland is Newtown Anner Stud's Jessica Harrington trainee Forbearance (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), who has twice chased home Rosscarbery and finished behind Emily Dickinson in the Stanerra when last seen. The 5-year-old, set to be partnered by Hollie Doyle for a second time, accounted for Sea La Rosa when the duo met in last term's G3 Princess Royal S. at Newmarket and the rider will be hoping to outpoint husband Tom Marquand for household bragging rights.

“Forbearance gave me a memorable afternoon at York's Ebor Festival last year when she won the Listed Sir Henry Cecil Galtres S. and I'm hoping she can rediscover her best form and outrun a big price,” said Doyle. “She beat Sea La Rosa by more than four lengths at Newmarket, but William Haggas's filly has improved considerably since then.”

With five millimetres of overnight watering scheduled, Harrington nonetheless expects Forbearance to relish underfoot conditions and added, “She ran a much better race the last time and has come into herself now. She did not come into herself last year until August and she seems to be in good form. She will love the ground and the quicker the better. Hopefully she will put her best foot forward.”
