Dark Angel’s Dr Zempf Back To Winning Ways

Disappointing when only fifth trying a mile in The Curragh's Listed Tetrarch S. May 2, Peter Brant's TDN Rising Star Dr Zempf (GB) (Dark Angel {Ire}) was back in his comfort zone in Thursday's G3 Ballycorus S. as he successfully returned to the seven-furlong trip and Leopardstown venue of his Apr. 2 Listed 2000 Guineas Trial S. win. In front initially before handed a lead by the eventual third Pretreville (Fr) (Acclamation {GB}), the 13-8 favourite who was also runner-up in the G1 Phoenix S. in August blew by that rival with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining and gave generously for Colin Keane to score by two lengths from fellow Ger Lyons-trained TDN Rising Star Straight Answer (GB) (Kodiac {GB}).

“I never had a doubt that he would get a mile and I was wrong,” Lyons admitted. “Colin said that he is strengthening up all the time. He shows me plenty of speed at home and we could bring him back to six, but Colin said don't do that. I'd say his future will be in America for Peter and I'd say that is where he will win his grade 1 around two bends. That was a lovely run from Straight Answer. Rory and Barry [Mahon] are adamant that the pedigree suggests he goes further. [Jockey] Gary [Carroll] said he'll win one of those over a mile.”

Dr Zempf is the third foal out of the G3 Prix Eclipse and Listed Prix de la Vallee d'Auge winner and G3 Prix d'Arenberg third Souvenir Delondres (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}). Her first was Dancin Inthestreet (GB) (Muhaarar {GB}), who was third in the 2020 Palace of Holyroodhouse H. at Royal Ascot. She is a half to the Listed Land O'Burns Fillies' S.-placed I'm So Glad (GB) (Clodovil {Ire}) connected to the dual listed scorer and G3 Prix de Seine-et-Oise runner-up Terroir (Ire) (Fairy King) and the GII Schuylerville S. and GIII Astoria Breeders' Cup S. winner Distinct Habit (Distinctive Pro). Souvenir Delondres's 2-year-old filly by Kingman (GB) is named Visiting Hours (GB), while she also has a yearling colt by Too Darn Hot (GB).

UK Racing Joins UK Government’s GREAT Campaign

British racing has formally been incorporated into the UK Government's GREAT Britain & Northern Ireland campaign, which showcases the best of the UK on an international stage. New racing imagery for the campaign was launched via The Jockey Club on the big screens and in the racecard at the Cazoo Derby Festival, a key component of The Queen's Platinum Jubilee. The imagery is now available to UK Government departments and its international network, including Embassies and High Commissions, for use on trade missions, at receptions and conferences. Great British Racing International (GBRI), the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), UK Tote Group and Ascot Racecourse led the UK racing industry's efforts to be included in the campaign.

Ross Hamilton, Head of Public Affairs at the British Horseracing Authority, said, “The BHA and our partner organisations are delighted to see this new imagery, showcasing the brilliance, diversity, and international appeal of British racing, included as part of the GREAT campaign. This is an important demonstration of how the UK Government can work with British racing as a soft power asset for the UK, while supporting our industry's ambition to grow our international leadership position in the global thoroughbred industry. We continue this work daily across a range of Government departments and industry objectives.”
