Middle Earth to Be Supplemented to St Leger

Qatar Racing's Middle Earth (GB) (Roaring Lion) will be supplemented for £50,000 to the Sept. 16 G1 Betfred St Leger at Doncaster.

Victorious in a 1 1/2-mile novice event at Newmarket July 28, the  Thady and John Gosden trainee doubled up with a win in York's Melrose on the final day of the Ebor meeting (Aug. 26).

“He's progressed well throughout the year, he's always looked like a nice staying colt in the making,” said Thady Gosden. “Of course, he won the Melrose, which is an impressive handicap, in good style.”

He added, “He's got plenty of size and scope, he's a horse that's taken time to mature, as many 3-year-olds do.”

The Gosden yard could therefore be well-stocked for the Classic, with Juddmonte's Arrest (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), G1 Queen's Vase winner Gregory (GB) (Golden Horn {GB}) and Lion's Pride (GB) (Roaring Lion)–who beat Middle Earth earlier this season–all currently holding entries.

“It's a fortunate position to be in, to have a few horses who could take up starting positions in the St Leger,” he said.

MG1SW & BC Mile Entrant Dreamloper Supplemented to KEENOV

Last month's G1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp winner Dreamloper (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}–Livia's Dream {Ire}, by Teofilo {Ire}), who is set to contest the $2 million GI FanDuel Breeders' Cup Mile Saturday at Keeneland, has been supplemented to Book 1 of Keeneland's November Breeding Stock Sale. Ed Walker Racing, agent will consign her as a racing or broodmare prospect.

Dreamloper, who was bred by Mrs. Olivia Hoare and races in the colors of Jason Fill, has also been pre-entered in the GI Maker's Mark Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf, with first preference in the Mile. The Ed Walker trainee also won the G1 Prix d'Ispahan this year, defeating males both there and in the Prix du Moulin de Longchamp.

From the same family as 2013 G1 Epsom Oaks winner Talent (GB) (New Approach {Ire}), Dreamloper has also captured the G2 Betfair Exchange Dahlia S. and the G3 British Racecourses Join Sunflower Lanyard Scheme Valiant S., in addition to finishing third in the G1 Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot S. She comes into the Breeders' Cup sporting a record of 17-6-1-3 and earnings of $674,624.

“Dreamloper has been amazing,” said her trainer. “She's just got better and better as time has gone on. She was a group winner last season then showed real battling qualities to win the Dahlia S. on her return this season. She was impressive in the Ispahan before that amazing win in the Prix du Moulin. You don't win a Group 1 by 5 1/2 lengths without being very special.

“She's an incredibly good-moving, athletic filly with an electric turn of foot. She's very sound, very tough, and very genuine. She's fabulous.”

Keeneland kicks off Book 1 of the November sale Monday, Nov. 7, at 1 p.m. ET.
