Dubawi’s Kubrick Pounces For G3 Prix des Chenes Triumph

White Birch Farm's 2-year-old colt Kubrick (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}–Rosa Bonheur, by Mr. Greeley) backed up a July 24 debut second going seven furlongs at Dieppe with a breakthrough triumph at Deauville last month and continued on the upgrade by turning back a strong Irish challenge in Thursday's G3 Prix des Chenes at ParisLongchamp. The eventual winner employed patient tactics from flagfall and was settled sixth, at the tail of the field, through halfway. Making continued headway under pressure in the home straight, the 31-10 second favourite quickened to gain a slender advantage with 100 metres remaining and was ridden out in the dying embers to assert by a neck from Coolmore and Westerberg's hithero unbeaten Adelaide River (Ire) (Australia {GB}) for a first black-type success.

“He is a nice, uncomplicated horse, we like to see them finish the way he did and it is very promising for the future,” commented trainer Jean-Claude Rouget. “He is an easy horse to train, he is easy to ride and a real pleasure to deal with. He could be a horse for next year's French [2000] Guineas, but first we will try to run him in the [G1] Criterium International at Saint-Cloud if all is well with him.”

Kubrick, the seventh of eight foals, becomes the third scorer produced by Listed Prix de la Cochere runner-up Rosa Bonheur (Mr. Greeley), herself a daughter of G2 Prix Robert Papin victrix Rolly Polly (Ire) (Mukaddamah). The April-foaled homebred bay is a half-brother to GI Hollywood Derby, GI Shoemaker Mile and GI Maker's Mark Mile hero Raging Bull (Fr) (Dark Angel {Ire}) and a yearling filly by No Nay Never.

Dubawi’s Mimikyu Wins The Park Hill

Providing a timely boost to Saturday's St Leger protagonist Haskoy (GB) (Golden Horn {GB}), George Strawbridge's Mimikyu (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) dominated Thursday's G2 Coral Park Hill Fillies' S. at Doncaster. Only seventh behind that Juddmonte homebred in the Aug. 18 Listed Galtres S. at York, the 13-2 shot raced in last early with Frankie Dettori happy to track the 6-4 favourite Eshaada (GB) (Muhaarar {GB}). As that rival went stand's side at the top of the straight, the John and Thady Gosden-trained 3-year-old stayed up the centre and produced a surge to overhaul the Shadwell runner passing two out en route to a 2 3/4-length success, with Eshaada's stablemate Believe In Love (Ire) (Make Believe {GB}) another two lengths behind in third.

Desert Crown’s Dam to Tattersalls December Sale 

Desert Berry (GB) (Green Desert), the dam of this year's Derby winner Desert Crown (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}), is the latest high-profile addition to the Sceptre Sessions at the Tattersalls December Mare Sale.

The 13-year-old mare will be offered for sale carrying a full-sibling to Desert Crown by her owner Gary Robinson of Strawberry Fields Stud. The Derby winner was himself bought at Book 2 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale for 280,000gns, and his yearling half-brother from the first crop of Lanwades sire Study Of Man (Ire) will be offered as lot 435 during Book 1 this year.

“Desert Berry has been an absolute star for us,” said Robinson. “Having studied thoroughbred bloodlines all my life, breeding a Derby winner is an absolute pinnacle and I am immensely proud to have bred Desert Crown. Desert Berry is a superb individual with an impeccable breeding record and I have retained two of her daughters in whom I have great confidence.”

Along with the Derby winner, Desert Berry is also dam of the Group 3 winner Archie McKellar (GB) (Archipenko), who was renamed Flying Thunder when exported to Hong Kong. The mare has also produced another three multiple winners by Archipenko, including the six-time scorer Rose Berry (GB), who is also now in foal to Nathaniel. 

A winner herself over a mile, Desert Berry is out of a Distant View half-sister to the top Juddmonte mare Binche (GB), whose offspring include the Group 1 winners Byword (GB) and Proviso (GB), and Group 2 winner Finche (GB).

“It is rare for the dam of a Derby winner to be offered for sale, and even rarer in the year of the Derby triumph,” said Tattersalls chairman Edmond Mahony. “Desert Crown is an outstanding Derby winner and Desert Berry will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of our inaugural Sceptre Sessions. It is a pleasure and a privilege to offer such an exceptional broodmare on behalf of Gary Robinson, and the depth and international appeal of her pedigree make her an enticing prospect for breeders from throughout the world.”

The Tattersalls December Mare Sale begins its four-day run on Monday, 28 November.
