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.

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).

Godolphin Bluebloods Take The Eye At Newmarket

Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-pedigreed horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Saturday's Observations features several well-pedigreed runners in the Godolphin blue.

1.55 Killarney, Mdn, €15,000, 2yo, 8f 30yT
THE PRAIRIE (IRE) (Galileo {Ire}) is the eighth foal out of the G1 Irish 1000 Guineas heroine Again (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) and therefore a full-brother to the dual group 1-placed Delphinia (Ire), the multiple group-placed Delano Roosevelt (Ire) and the listed scorer Indian Maharaja (Ire). Aidan O'Brien introduces the February-foaled bay alongside Gulf Of Mexico (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), the 1.1-million gns Book 1 sensation who looked so promising on debut at The Curragh before backtracking at Punchestown last time.

 

2.50 ParisLongchamp, Cond, €300,000, 2yo, 8fT
DENMARK (GB) (Camelot {GB}) represents Ballydoyle in this Haras de Bouquetot Criterium Arqana for Arqana yearling graduates of 2021 and is an exciting prospect having won on his sole start over this trip at Naas at the start of last month. At €440,000 the Arqana Deauville October topper, the son of the dual Group 3 winner and G1 Prix de l'Opera runner-up Board Meeting (Ire) (Anabaa) meets Prime Equestrian Racing's bargain €13,000 October purchase Munch (GB) (New Bay {GB}). From the David Menuisier stable, she upstaged the subsequent impressive listed winner Sirona (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}) in Goodwood's British EBF £100,000 2yo Fillies Series Final earlier this month.

 

3.17 Newmarket, Mdn, £10,000, 2yo, 8fT
IMPERIAL FRONTIER (IRE) (Dubawi {Ire}) is the second foal out of the GI Man o' War S. heroine Zhukova (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), who is a half to Dubawi's brilliant Ghaiyyath (Ire) who excelled for this colt's connections after starting his career at this track. Charlie Appleby introduces the February-foaled full-brother to the stable's surefire future pattern-race performer First Ruler (GB) in a line-up that includes Saeed Suhail's A Dublin Lad (GB) (Ulysses {Ire}), the John and Thady Gosden-trained half-brother to the G2 Hungerford S. winner Sacred (GB) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}). A non-runner here at the last meeting, he is a 300,000gns Book 1 graduate which made him the sire's clear highest-priced progeny sold at auction last year.

 

3.52 Newmarket, Mdn, £10,000, 2yo, 7fT
MILITARY ORDER (IRE) (Frankel {GB}) is the second Godolphin newcomer to take the eye on the card, being an April-foaled full-brother to the 2021 Derby and King George-winning sensation Adayar (Ire). Charlie Appleby's representative meets Jeff Smith's similarly-unraced Arabian Storm (GB) (Kingman {GB}), an Andrew Balding-trained son of the owner-breeder's G1 Juddmonte International heroine Arabian Queen (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) who has already produced two winners by Frankel (GB) and one smart stayer in Spirit Mixer (GB).
