‘He Is Nicest I’ve Ever Had’ – Evans Has Hong Kong Plan For Rohaan

Rohaan (Ire) (Mayson {GB}) will head to Hong Kong after he finished a creditable fourth behind Kinross (GB) (Kingman {GB}) in the G1 British Champions Sprint, his trainer David Evans has revealed.

A kinder draw may have resulted in an even better performance from the Ascot specialist on Saturday, according to Evans, who is now concentrating on an international campaign with his stable star.

He said, “It was a bit awkward really. We didn't really know which side they were going to go and we didn't have the pace to chase.

“Adam [Kirby, jockey] got there just right to beat them, but had he been drawn on Kinross's side, while he may not have won, he'd have been second without a doubt. He has come back fine. He always does, touch wood.”

Winner of nine of his 28 races, the 4-year-old could receive an invitation to race abroad over the winter, with the Hong Kong Sprint at Sha Tin on Dec. 11 circled on the calendar.

Evans added, “He has an entry for Hong Kong–the entries closed today, so he is in that, but we will have to get an invite. So I don't know where he will go at the moment, it is up to the owners.

“If he got an invite to Hong Kong, it would be silly not to go. We didn't get an invite to the Breeders' Cup.”

He added, “I don't think anyone has seen the best of him. We have got the hang of him now. He is easy to train and he stands his racing exceptionally well–he has been on the go all year.

“He doesn't take a lot out of himself. He just travels into a race and then does his little spurt. He is an easy horse who has got ability. He is probably the nicest horse I've ever had and it is nice to have him. He will get there one day, I think.”

Pivotal’s Fancy Me Notches G3 Prix des Reservoirs Triumph

Philippe Sogorb trainee Fancy Me (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}–Besotted {Ire}, by Dutch Art {GB}), who ran fourth in July's Listed Criterium du Bequet at Tarbes, posted a runner-up finish in a seven-furlong conditions heat at Toulouse last month and stepped forward to claim a career high upped to one mile in Tuesday's G3 Prix des Reservoirs at Deauville. The 93-10 chance raced second through the early strides, but was shuffled back to track the leaders in fourth by halfway. Rowed along to reduced arrears off the home turn, she regained second with 300 metres remaining and was ridden with vigour thereafter to deny Around Midnight (Fr) (Almanzor {Fr}) by a short head in the dying strides.

Fancy Me is the third foal and scorer out of stakes-winning G2 Prix de Sandringham runner-up Besotted (Ire) (Dutch Art {GB}), herself a half-sister to G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches heroine Tie Black (Ire) (Machiavellian). The February-foaled chestnut is kin to a yearling filly by Siyouni (Fr) and a weanling filly by Kodiac (GB). Their second dam Tender Is Thenight (Ire) (Barathea {Ire}) is a half-sister to seven black-type performers including MG1SW sire Last Tycoon (Ire) (Try My Best), MGSW sire Astronef (Ire) (Be My Guest) and stakes-winning G3 Prix Fille de l'Air runner-up Side Of Paradise (Ire) (Sadler's Wells). The latter produced G1 Coronation S. and G1 Prix Jacques Le Marois victrix Immortal Verse (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}), herself the dam of last term's G1 Cheveley Park S. and this year's G1 Prix Jean Prat winner Tenebrism (Caravaggio) and G2 Airlie Stud S. victrix Statuette (Justify). Tender Is Thenight is also a half-sister to Zelda (Ire) (Caerleon), whose descendants include G1 1000 Guineas and G1 Irish 1000 Guineas heroine Hermosa (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), G1 British Champions Fillies & Mares S. and G1 Matron S. victrix Hydrangea (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and G1 Ranvet S. winner The United States (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}).
