No Nay Never’s Henry Adams Takes The Tyros

Leopardstown's usually-informative G3 Japan Racing Association Tyros S. looked a touch on the disappointing side even before the loss of two key players in Mountain Bear (Ire) (No Nay Never) and Islandsinthestream (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) and so what the form of the four-runner affair amounts to will have to be seen in time. What it did provide was a remarkable 16th success in the race for Aidan O'Brien as the stable's understudy to Mountain Bear, Henry Adams (Ire) (No Nay Never), showed a game attitude to make all under Ryan Moore.

Off the mark in battling fashion at Naas last month, the even-money favourite who was sporting first-time blinkers had to first shake off the persistent presence of the maiden Chicago Fireball (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}) in early straight before a second tussle as Devious (GB) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) appeared. Getting to the line a neck ahead of that TDN Rising Star, who was up in trip from the sprints for the first time, the colt bred by bred by Annemarie O'Brien's Whisperview Trading extended the trainer's record in this Classic pointer that deserved better representation.

“It was a very good performance because the two of them went at it from a long way,” O'Brien said. “He's a tough hardy horse who has plenty of speed and is laid-back. A big mature horse. Ryan said he's a baby still, so I think he'll go on to the [G2] Futurity, he'll probably end up there with Henry Longfellow. He's lovely because he's happy to go forward.”

 

Pedigree Notes

Henry Adams is the second foal out of Jigsaw (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), a full-sister to the smart Mohawk (Ire) who captured the G2 Royal Lodge S. and G3 Meld S. and was second in the aforementioned Futurity. They are out of the G3 Leopardstown 1000 Guineas Trial winner Empowering (Ire) (Encosta De Lago {Aus}) who was also second in the G3 Phoenix Sprint S., while the third dam is the Listed Prix Imprudence winner and G1 Prix Marcel Boussac-placed Blue Cloud (Ire) (Nashwan). A half-sister to the G1 Half-sister to the G1 Queen Elizabeth II S.-winning sire Bigstone (Ire), she is also the second dam of the Listed Dee S. scorer Viren's Army (Ire) (Twirling Candy). Jigsaw's yearling colt is by Wootton Bassett (GB).

Order Of Australia Retired And Will Stand In India

Breeders' Cup winner Order Of Australia (Ire) (Australia {GB}–Senta's Dream {GB}, by Danehill) has been sold privately and will stand at Manjri Stud in India beginning in 2024 according to published reports. A fee will be announced later.

Bred by Aidan and Annemarie O'Brien's Whisperview Trading, the Coolmore partners-owned bay had been entered in the Tattersalls July Sale, but had been withdrawn. Trained by O'Brien for five seasons, the son of three-time Group/Grade 1 producer Senta's Dream won six of his 25 starts and earned over $2.25 million.

Besides his 2020 GI Breeders' Cup Mile score, he also triumphed in two editions of the G2 Minstrel S. (2021/22) and was placed in another five top-level races across England, France, and the U.S. A half-brother to dual Group 1 winner Iridessa (Ire) (Ruler Of The World {Ire}) and the late GI Belmont Oaks/Beverly D. S. heroine Santa Barbara (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), the 6-year-old will stand alongside Group 3 winner Phoenix Tower and the Group 1-placed Fiero (Jpn).

Lammtarra’s ’95 King George Earns Diamonds and Pearls Award

Lammtarra's 1995 renewal of the G1 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth S. was named the latest recipient of the QIPCO Diamonds & Pearls Award. Each year, QIPCO, the official sponsor of the King George, honours a vintage renewal of the race.

Trained by Saeed bin Suroor, the son of Nijinsky II raced in the colours of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum's nephew, Saeed bin Maktoum al Maktoum. His father, Sheikh Maktoum, bred Lammtarra at his Gainsborough Farm Stud.

Undefeated Lammtarra achieved the rare feat of winning the Epsom Derby, for which he set a track record that was only broken by Workforce in 2010, the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe–a remarkable treble that only the legendary Mill Reef had achieved previously.

Partnered by Frankie Dettori in the King George, Lammtarra defeated old rivals, providing his owner, trainer and jockey with their first win in the race.

On Lammtarra's qualities, Dettori said: “He was a special horse. He was like a lion; he loved a fight and was very tenacious. For me, what a horse. He ran four times, retired unbeaten and won the three best races in Europe.”

Following a brief but brilliant career, the regally-bred 3-year-old retired to stand at Sheikh Mohammed's Dalham Hall Stud near Newmarket.

At the end of the 1996 breeding season, Lammtarra was sold to Japanese breeders for $30million to stand at Arrow Stud. Ultimately, Sheikh Mohammed bought his champion back and, in 2006, Lammtarra returned to Dalham Hall Stud. Lammtarra died in 2014.

This year's King George VI, a QIPCO British Champions Series race, takes place at Ascot at 3.40pm Saturday 29 July.

TDN Rising Star Ylang Ylang Makes All For Impressive Silver Flash Success

Aidan O'Brien trainee Ylang Ylang (GB) (Frankel {GB}–Shambolic {Ire}, by Shamardal), who made all for a 'TDN Rising Star' rosette with an impressive 2 3/4-length debut tally tackling seven furlongs at the Curragh in her only prior start, maintained her perfect record with a carbon-copy performance in Thursday's G3 Jockey Club Of Turkey Silver Flash S. at Leopardstown.

The prohibitively priced 1-4 favourite was slick from the inside gate and seized an early two length advantage in this black-type bow. Untroubled through halfway, she was shaken up with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining and kept on powerfully under urging in the closing stages to comfortably hold Vespertillo (Fr) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}) by 1 1/2 lengths. She extends O'Brien's record in the seven-furlong contest to an unmatched 13.

“She had a good draw, so obviously Ryan [Moore] used it again, and the next day we'll take our time with her,” the trainer revealed. “She hit the gates the first day she ran and Ryan did the right thing. Today she had the draw and she did the same thing. He said she was probably doing plenty for him in front and he gave her a beautiful ride. We're delighted, Ryan was very happy with her and he said she ran straight through the line. She's a very low mover and he felt that the ground was a little bit deep, but he was very happy with her. Hopefully now it'll be the [G2] Debutante before the [G1] Moyglare and we'll let her sit in and relax. She's very genuine, she tries very hard and wears her heart on her sleeve. Natural is a good way to describe her.”

Pedigree Notes

Ylang Ylang, a 1.5-million guineas Tattersalls Book 1 graduate, is the first of three foals out of Listed Pretty Polly S., Listed Height Of Fashion S. and Listed Chalice S. placegetter Shambolic (Ire) (Shamardal). The March-foaled bay's dam, who has also produced a yearling colt by Kingman (GB) and a weanling filly by Siyouni (Fr), is a half-sister to dual G1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup-winning multiple Hong Kong champion Comic Strip (GB) (Marju {Ire}) and GI Flower Bowl Invitational and GI Diana S. heroine Laughing (Ire) (Dansili {GB}). Shambolic is also a half-sister to the unraced Blinking (GB) (Marju {Ire}), whose descendants include stakes-winning G3 Lillie Langtry S. third Twitch (Ire) (Azamour {Ire}), stakes-winning G3 Premio Dormello third Romsey (GB) (Mukhadram {GB}) and G3 Sweet Solera S. third Mottisfont (Ire) (Adaay {Ire}).
