Former Derby Favourite Luxembourg To Return In Royal Whip

The Coolmore partners' Luxembourg (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), a one-time G1 Cazoo Derby favourite until meeting with a setback in the spring, will reappear in the G3 Royal Whip S., according to trainer Aidan O'Brien. Held at the Curragh on Aug. 13, the 10-furlong event will be the starting point for the G1 Vertem Futurity Trophy S. and G2 Beresford S. hero. If all goes well in the Royal Whip, a start in the Sept. 10 G1 Irish Champion S. is also possible for the 3-year-old colt later in the season. The bay's only race this year was a solid third in the Apr. 30 G1 2000 Guineas at Newmarket.

O'Brien said, “The plan is for Luxembourg to start back in the Royal Whip here in a few weeks. The next plan after that is that he will go for the Irish Champion S.”

New Bay’s Saffron Beach Outmuscles G1 Prix Rothschild Rivals

Last term's G1 Sun Chariot S. victrix Saffron Beach (Ire) (New Bay {GB}–Falling Petals {Ire}, by Raven's Pass) posted a fourth in Meydan's Mar. 26 G1 Dubai Turf before regaining the winning thread in Royal Ascot's June 15 G2 Duke of Cambridge S. and continued on a roll with a decisive victory in Tuesday's G1 Prix Rothschild at Deauville. The 3-5 favourite was swiftly into stride and held sway in the centre of the track from the outset of this straight one-mile test. Drawing the sting out of her six rivals by setting a searching tempo throughout, she was stoked up when strongly pressed with 300 metres remaining and withstood every challenge under a late drive to win going away for second elite-level triumph. At the line, she was 2 1/2 lengths too good for the year-younger Tenebrism (Caravaggio), who just held on for second by a head from the fast-finishing Goldistyle (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}). The latter is a daughter of the storied Goldikova (Ire) (Anabaa), who won four straight editions of this contest from 2008 through 2011.

“She's very strong with a lovely temperament and she is such a nice filly,” said trainer Jane Chapple-Hyam. “It is great to come here to Deauville and win this race. She has a lot of options to come and, I suppose, her main objectives are the [G1] Matron S. [at Leopardstown] and the [G1] Sun Chariot [S. at Newmarket].”

Winning rider William Buick continued, “She is just the sort of horse that makes life of a jockey so much easier. She has a great temperament, she is strong and so well balanced. She has speed, but also stays well and 10 furlongs would not be a problem for her. I kicked early because my main concern was Ryan [Moore]'s filly [Tenebrism], who won here over seven furlongs and has the speed and a turn of foot. Saffron Beach stays well so, up against such a profile, the earlier the race starts the better for a filly like mine.”

Saffron Beach, full-sister to a yearling colt and a weanling filly, is the third of six foals and the lone scorer produced by a winning daughter of the dual stakes-placed Infinite Spirit (Maria's Mon). Her dam Falling Petals (Ire) (Raven's Pass) is thus kin to G3 Criterion S. third Huntdown (Elusive Quality) and to the dam of three black-type performers headed by G3 World Trophy S. and G3 Molecomb S.-winning sire Cotai Glory (GB) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}). Saffron Beach's third dam, G3 Matron S. victrix and G1 Coronation S. runner-up Eternal Reve (Diesis {GB}), is kin to GI Hollywood Derby hero Eternity Star (Majestic Light) and the Group 1-placed sire Eternity Range (Majestic Light). They are out of a half-sister to G1 Prix de la Salamandre victor and leading sire Miswaki (Mr. Prospector).

Dark Angel’s The Antarctic Battles To Cabourg Triumph

Coolmore, Westerberg & Brant's G2 Prix Robert Papin second The Antarctic (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}–Anna Law {Ire}, by Lawman {Fr}), a 750,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 full-brother to Battaash (Ire), rebounded off that Chantilly defeat to secure a first stakes success in Tuesday's G3 Darley Prix de Cabourg at Deauville. The February-foaled grey had earlier backed up two early-season wins with a seventh in Royal Ascot's June 16 G2 Norfolk S. before hitting the board in June's Listed Tipperary S. in his last-but-one start. Missing a beat at the kick, the crowd's 6-5 pick soon recovered to race on the heels of the leaders in fourth. Shaken up and angled into clear either side of the two pole, he made his challenge at the furlong marker and was driven out by Ryan Moore in the closing stages to assert by a length from Manhattan Jungle (Ire) (Bungle Inthejungle {GB}). Michael Bell trainee Kerindia (Ire) (Cotai Glory {GB}) completed a sweep for the overseas raiders and finished 3/4-of-a-length adrift in third.

“The Antarctic had run so well last time out and he is a lovely, improving horse,” said Aidan O'Brien after bridging a 24-year gap back to his only prior winner of the contest, Hunan (Ire) (College Chapel {GB}), in 1998. “He has progressed with every run, he's gone very professional and is going the right way and we're very happy. Ryan [Moore] said the trip is no problem, from five, six or seven [furlongs], because he relaxes and quickens well. That's a good sign. He's got a great physique and a good mind. He relaxed very well today and had a good trip throughout. We will see what could be next, but he could be a horse for the [Aug. 21 G1] Prix Morny. That was the reason for coming here today and that's what we're thinking at the moment.”

Moore, who swept both juvenile pattern races and would later add the Listed Prix Carrousel for a successful afternoon's work, added, “He is a lovely sort, he is very well bred obviously, being a full-brother to Battaash, and he's a very easy horse to ride. He is uncomplicated and has improved with every run because he is just learning how to run. He has benefitted from the experience of racing.”

The Antarctic, the fifth of six foals, is one of two scorers out of Anna Law (Ire) (Lawman {Fr}), herself a half-sister to four black-type performers headed by G2 Champagne S. victor and G1 July Cup third Etlaala (GB) (Selkirk). His dam's first foal is multiple Group 1-winning speedster Battaash (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) and her latest is a yearling filly by Lope De Vega (Ire). Descendants of the The Antarctic's second dam Portelet (GB) (Night Shift) also include multiple Group-winning dual Group 1-placed sire Tasleet (GB) (Showcasing {GB}).

Sydneyarms Chelsea A Stakes First For Sioux Nation At Deauville

Charles Hill trainee Sydneyarms Chelsea (Ire) (Sioux Nation–Wedding Dress {GB}, by Tamayuz {GB}) ran fourth in Deauville's July 10 Listed Prix Roland de Chambure last time and was back over the same seven-furlong strip to register a career high in Tuesday's G3 Prix Six Perfections Sky Sports Racing, whilst also providing her freshman sire (by Scat Daddy) with a first black-type success. She had previously snagged her May 31 debut at Newbury and posted a fifth contesting Royal Ascot's June 17 G3 Albany S. in her penultimate start. Isolated in third as those in front went clear, the 67-10 chance made continued progress in the straight to launch her challenge passing the furlong marker and was ridden out to subdue the other British raider Ipanema Princess (Ire) (Kessaar {Ire}) before holding the late threat of Roland de Chambure runner-up Terrestrial (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) by 3/4-of-a-length. Ipanema Princess finished a length back in third, 1 3/4 lengths ahead of 'TDN Rising Star' Gain It (GB) (De Treville {GB}), who raced too freely through the early fractions and was a spent force at the business end.

“She is still a big baby, but she's a very nice filly indeed,” commented Ryan Moore. “She had run a very good race over course and distance last time, but she does have a tendency to idle and pull up when she hits the front. She stuck at it today and finished off the race well.”

Sydneyarms Chelsea, half-sister to a yearling colt by Zoffany (Ire), is the second of three foals and lone performer produced by a winning half-sister to Listed Prix des Lilas third Delhi (GB) (High Chaparral {Ire}). The February-foaled bay's second dam Dream Day (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) ran second in the G3 Fred Darling S. and is one of three black-type performers out of Listed Prix de Saint-Cyr victrix and G3 Fred Darling third Capistrano Day (Diesis {GB). Capistrano Day, in turn, is a daughter of GI Beverly Hills H. heroine Alcando (Ire) (Alzao).
