2.8-Million Guineas Tattersalls Book 1 Topper Sheds Maiden Status In Belated Debut

Godolphin's hitherto unraced Kalidasa (GB) (Frankel {GB}–So Mi Dar {GB}, by Dubawi {Ire}) hit the heights at 2022's Tattersalls October Book 1 fixture when knocked down for a sale-topping 2.8-million guineas, but missed his intended debut at Kempton last month with a foot infection.

Sent off at prohibitive odds of 1-3 for his belated unveiling in a low-key affair at Wolverhampton, Friday evening, he made no mistake and registered a 1 1/2-length triumph in the extended one-mile contest.

The March-foaled bay is out of G3 Musidora S.-winning G1 Prix de l'Opera third So Mi Dar (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), herself a full-sister to MG1SW sire Too Darn Hot (GB) and multiple Group 1-placed distaffer Lah Ti Dar (GB).

KALIDASA (GB) (c, 3, Frankel {GB}–So Mi Dar {GB} {GSW-Eng & G1SP-Fr, $242,742}, by Dubawi {Ire}) hit the heights when knocked down to Godolphin for a sale-topping 2.8-million guineas at 2022's Tattersalls October Book 1 fixture, but missed his intended debut at Kempton last month with a foot infection. Bowling along in handy third after an alert getaway, the 1-3 lock turned for home in second and kept on powerfully under whipless cajoling in the straight to defeat Alvesta (GB) (Study Of Man {Ire}) by an ultimately comfortable 1 1/2 lengths. Kalidasa is the third of four foals and first scorer from two runners out of G3 Musidora S.-winning G1 Prix de l'Opera third So Mi Dar (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), herself a full-sister to MG1SW sire Too Darn Hot (GB), multiple Group 1-placed distaffer Lah Ti Dar (GB) and Listed River Eden S. runner-up Darmoiselle (GB). So Mi Dar, who is a daughter of MG1SW distaffer Dar Re Mi (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}), is also kin to multiple Group-placed sire De Treville (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}). The March-foaled bay is a full-brother to the 2-year-old filly So Dar Licious (GB). Sales history: 2,800,000gns Ylg '22 TATOCT. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $5,031.
