Dark Angel’s Charyn Prevails In The G2 Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte

Nurlan Bizakov's 250,000gns Tattersalls October Book 2 yearling Charyn (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}–Futoon {Ire}, by Kodiac {GB}) ran third to Roger Varian-trained stablemate Sakheer (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) in last month's G2 Mill Reef S. and continued his progression with a career high in Saturday's G2 Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte at Chantilly. He had earlier followed up an Aug. 7 debut triumph at Haydock with a narrow defeat at Newmarket in his penultimate start later that month. The eventual winner was sent forward from an early fifth to track the leaders in third after the opening exchanges. Bustled along passing the quarter-mile marker, the 27-10 second choice tackled 3-5 favourite Eddie's Boy (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}) entering the final furlong and kept on strongly under continued urging in the latter stages to deny that rival by a short neck after a ding-dong tussle.

“Roger Varian was quite confident the horse would run a great race and he felt the softer ground would help,” commented the winning owner's representative Mathieu Le Forestier. “The ground was fast [at Newbury] last time, he was away slowly and didn't get back into the race early enough. He had done that in his second start too. He broke a shade slowly again here, but Mickael [Barzalona] did well to put him under pressure straight away and he travelled well. One [furlong] out, I thought he'd win easily, but the second sure is a tough nut to crack. His season is probably finished, it looks like he will stay further and we will look forward to next year.”

Charyn, full to last year's G2 Mill Reef S. victor Wings Of War (Ire) and a weanling filly, becomes the 54th pattern-race winner for his sire (by Acclamation {GB}) and is the second foal out of the multiple stakes-placed Futoon (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}), herself the leading performer out of a full-sister to G2 Mill Reef S. winner and G1 Golden Jubilee S. runner-up Galeota (Ire). His second dam Vermilliann (Ire) (Mujadil) is also a half-sister to Listed River Eden Fillies' S. victrix Loulwa (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}), herself the dam of Listed Scarborough S. and Listed Prix Hampton victor Justineo (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}). Charyn's third dam Refined (Ire) (Statoblest {Ire}), who hails from family of multiple Group-winning G1 Champion S. runner-up Insatiable (Ire) (Don't Forget Me {Ire}), is a half-sister to G3 Criterion S. scorer Pipe Major (Ire) (Tirol {Ire}) and is also the second dam of the G3 Sirenia S.-winning siblings Brown Sugar (Ire) (Tamayuz {GB}) and Burnt Sugar (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}).

Kingman’s Commissioning Strikes Late For G1 Fillies’ Mile Glory

Isa Salman and Abdulla Al Khalifa's homebred 2-year-old filly Commissioning (GB) (Kingman {GB}–Sovereign Parade {Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}) backed up a July 30 debut victory at Newmarket's July course with a taking score in last month's G2 Rockfel S. and stepped forward to provide rider Rab Havlin with a first Group 1 triumph in Friday's G1 bet365 Fillies' Mile back at the town's Rowley Mile venue. The 8-13 favourite was alert from the traps and was positioned in a close-up sixth through the early stages. Tanking forward to go second with three furlongs remaining, she was stirred into action at the foot of the hill and quickened in style to take control with 100 yards remaining, en route to a one-length success from long-time leader Novakai (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), herself 4 3/4 lengths clear of 'TDN Rising Star' Bright Diamond (Ire) (El Kabeir) in third.

Commissioning, half to a yearling colt by Fastnet Rock (Aus), is the second of three foals and lone performer produced by a winning full-sister to G1 Irish Derby and G1 St Leger hero Capri (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), G3 Stanerra S.-winning G1 Irish Oaks and G1 British Champions Fillies & Mares third Passion (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and G3 Loughbrown S. victor Cypress Creek (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). The April-foaled bay's second dam Dialafara (Fr) (Anabaa), herself a half-sister to G3 Prix de Conde runner-up Diaghan (Fr) (Lawman {Fr}), is a daughter of G2 Prix de Malleret and G3 Prix de la Nonette victrix and G1 Prix Vermeille runner-up Diamilina (Fr) (Linamix {Fr}). Diamilina, in turn, is kin to four black-type performers headed by G3 Prix La Rochette winner and multiple Group 1-placed sire Diamond Green (Fr) (Green Desert).

No Nay Never’s Midnight Mile Pounces Late For Oh So Sharp Triumph

Roisin Henry's once-raced Midnight Mile (Ire) (No Nay Never–Ruby Tuesday {Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}), who opened her account with a July 16 debut score tackling six furlongs at Doncaster, returned in style with a last-gasp victory in Friday's G3 Godolphin Lifetime Care Oh So Sharp S. upped to seven for her black-type debut at Newmarket. The 22-1 chance was steadied and shuffled back through the pack to race in rear after a slick exit. Nudged along to reduce arrears approaching the dip, she negotiated traffic to go seventh entering the final furlong and kept on powerfully up the hill to deny Lose Yourself (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) by a head in the dying strides for a career high.

“She had her first run at Doncaster and Richard [Fahey] said we will let her have a learning experience and she won which was fantastic,” the winning owner explained. “She then had a bit of break and we said we would let her have a bit of a run here today if the ground was soft enough. We didn't expect anything, we thought it was another bit of education as it was another step up, but that was fantastic. She was checked and I thought that had knocked the wind out of her sails. She was running well prior to that, but she battled on and she did that in her first race to. She is a battler.”

Reflecting on a difficult start to life for the filly, Mrs Henry added, “This filly was born by caesarean section as they knew that the mare was in trouble so the veterinary team in Coolmore and the Fethard Veterinary Hospital were amazing. When she was born they must have had 15 guys standing around her awaiting this foal. It was incredible. The fact we got a live foal was amazing and the fact the mare is still alive is amazing. She is really special. You don't expect these kind of ones to go on to be race fillies. She is very well bred and we thought we would hang on to her. It is so exciting. I've dreamt enough now, but if it doesn't get any better than this that's fine. The jockey [Oisin Orr] gave her a super ride and he was very confident with her. He rides her at home so he knows her which is lovely.”

Orr continued, “Through the race I was on and off the bridle and when we can down to the two [-furlong pole] I really asked her. I was just tight of room for a stride or two, but I switched left she has quickened up nicely and done it well. She does everything well at home and has done nothing wrong on the racetrack so far. Hopefully she can keep on improving.”

Midnight Mile, full-sister to a yearling colt, is the third of four reported foals and lone runner out of a full-sister to G3 Noblesse S. and Listed Cheshire Oaks runner-up Betterbetterbetter (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). The January-foaled bay's dam is also kin to an additional five black-type performers headed by G1 Irish 1000 Guineas heroine Yesterday (Ire) (Sadler's Wells) and the multiple Classic-placed G1 Moyglare Stud S. victrix Quarter Moon (Ire) (Sadler's Wells). Descendants of the latter include G1 Pretty Polly S. winner Diamondsandrubies (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) and G1 Fillies' Mile third You'll Be Mine (Kingmambo), herself the dam of multiple Group-winning G1 Irish Champion S. and G1 Ranvet S. placegetter Eminent (Ire) (Frankel {GB}). Midnight Mile's third dam is Lanwades Stud stalwart Alruccaba (Ire) (Crystal Palace {Fr}).
