Kodiac Leads Tally-Ho Roster

Kodiac (GB) (Danehill) leads the seven-strong roster at Tally-Ho Stud at an unchanged fee of €65,000 in 2022. Responsible for 13 black-type winners in 2021, the 20-year-old's progeny enjoyed Group 1 success with G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud hero El Bodegon (Ire) and G1 Commonwealth Cup heroine Campanelle (Ire). Also among his group winners this term are Cloudy Dawn (Ire), American Bridge (GB), Bear Story (Ire), Glounthaune (Ire) and Fast Attack (Ire).

Priced at €50,000, Mehmas (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}), who was the Champion First-Season Sire in Europe in 2022, celebrated 11 black-type winners and is firmly on top of the European Second-Season Sire list. The sire of his second overall Group 1 winner in 2021 GI Del Mar Oaks heroine Going Global (Ire), he stood for €25,000 this year. Four of his seven 2021 group winners were from his second crop of juveniles headed by dual Group 2 winner Lusail (Ire), G2 Flying Childers S. victor Caturra (Ire), and G2 Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte heroine Malavath (Ire), who also ran second in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. Acklam Express (Ire) and Minzaal (Ire), from his first crop, were also Group 1 placed in Dubai and in the G1 British Champions Sprint S., respectively.

Previously announced as a new addition to the roster, Group 1 winner Starman (GB) (Dutch Art {GB}) will command €17,500. The G1 July Cup hero also placed in the G1 Prix Maurice de Gheest and G1 Sprint Cup.

A pair of Tally-Ho stallions will have their first crop of 3-year-olds in 2022 in Cotai Glory (GB) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}) at €8,500 and Galileo Gold (GB) (Paco Boy {Ire}) at €7,000. The former's best runner to date has been G2 Prix Robert Papin and G3 Prix du Bois scorer Atomic Force (Ire), while Purciaretta (Ire) landed a listed race. Eldrickjones (Ire) ran second in the G2 Coventry S. and Pearl Glory (Ire) was runner-up in the G3 Dick Poole S. G1 Phoenix S. hero Ebro River (Ire) is one of three black-type winners for Galileo Gold, who is also the sire of Group 3 winner Oscula (Ire), third in the G1 Prix Marcel Boussac, and Listed Empress S. heroine System (Ire).

Completing the roster are the duo of Inns of Court (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) and Kessaar (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}), who will both stand for €5,000. Successful four times at group level and dual Group 1 placed, Inns of Court's first foals are selling at the breeding stock sales beginning this month. Kessaar, the winner of the G2 Mill Reef S. and G3 Sirenia S., will have his first runners in 2022.

Cotai Glory Filly Strikes in Rome

Purciaretta landed her first black-type win in the Listed Premio Divino Amore Livermore and became her first-season sire's second stakes scorer at Campannelle. A winner at first asking back in May, she won a Rome affair four starts later going 1000 metres on Sept. 24. She then took a conditions race there on Oct. 15 and was narrowly favoured on Sunday.

Breaking from the rail, the filly raced one off the fence and just behind a rival in second. Purciaretta spent the middle part of the race with her head angled toward the grandstand, but straightened out and took over by the 200-metre mark. Fellow filly Stay Kitten was second.

The fifth foal out of the winning Sharqawiyah, Purciaretta is a half-sister to the Acclamation (GB) filly Abby Hatcher (Ire), successful in the GIII Chicago S. Her dam's latest two foals are fillies-a yearling by Mastercraftsman (Ire) and a weanling by Phoenix of Spain (Ire). This is the extended family of dual Group 1 winner Poet's Word (Ire) (Poet's Voice {GB}). Video.

Starman Out Of Champions Sprint; Retires To Tally-Ho Stud

Starman (GB) (Dutch Art {GB}), who was favourite for Saturday's G1 QIPCO British Champions Sprint S., has been retired from racing after suffering a minor injury. He will stand next season at Tally-Ho Stud in Ireland.

“It's a huge shame as we were really looking forward to Saturday and confirming him to be the champion that he is,” said Starman's trainer Ed Walker.

“I've always thought he was the best around and he's certainly the best I've ever trained.”

Bred and raced by David Ward, the 4-year-old has enjoyed a successful season, with his standout victory coming in the G1 Darley July Cup. He also won the G2 Clipper Logistics Duke of York S. on his seasonal debut and has been placed in both the G1 Prix Maurice de Gheest and G1 Betfair Sprint Cup. That last run at Haydock saw him beaten just a short-head when second to Emaraty Ana (GB).

Currently rated the top sprinter in Europe, Starman is a son of the Montjeu (Ire) mare Northern Star (Ire), a winner over 10 furlongs in Ward's colours and the dam of two multiple winners. He won his first three starts as a 3-year-old, including the listed Garrowby S., and retires with earnings of £476,380.

He joins a strong roster of stallions at the O'Callaghan family's Tally-Ho Stud led by Kodiac (GB), who is backed up by the promising young sires Mehmas (Ire), Galileo Gold (GB) and Cotai Glory (GB). Yet to have their first runners are Kessaar (Ire) and Inns Of Court (Ire).

“We are grateful to Ed Sackville for arranging the deal for Starman to stand at Tally-Ho and we are delighted to welcome a horse of his calibre,” said Roger O'Callaghan. “He's a really high-class horse that caught everybody's attention this year.”

Mehmas’ Malavath Strikes For Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte Success

Everest Racing, David Redvers and Barbara Keller's 2-year-old filly Malavath (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) encountered promising sorts when hitting the board over six furlongs in both August starts at Deauville and graduated in a six-furlong Chantilly maiden last month. Returning over the same course and distance of that breakthrough score for Saturday's G2 Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte, the Francis Graffard trainee exhibited late dash to claim a first black-type success with aplomb. The 15-2 chance was swiftly away and tracked the leading duo in third through halfway. Nudged along passing the quarter-mile marker, she inched ever closer thereafter and quickened smartly inside the final furlong to deny the forward-running G3 Prix de Cabourg victrix Have A Good Day (Ire) (Adaay {Ire}) by a neck in the dying strides.

“My main concern beforehand was her ability, or lack thereof, to cope with the soft ground and I was quite apprehensive,” admitted Graffard. “Obviously, I was wrong and am delighted for the owners, the filly and my team. It really is a great result. I have always been high on her and her form was excellent. She doesn't show much in the mornings at home, but from day one she has been a different proposition in the afternoons. I don't think she will stay a mile, maybe seven furlongs, but if she is only a top six-furlong filly that's fine with me. We will see how she winters and, on looks, I have the feeling that she will train on. We will start off [next year], probably over the same [six-furlong] trip, and we'll see where we go from there.”

Malavath, the first of three foals, becomes the ninth pattern-race winner for her second-crop sire and is a daughter of Fidaaha (Ire) (New Approach {Ire}), herself a full-sister to the GIII Robert G. Dick Memorial S. victrix Ceisteach (Ire). Fidaaha is also half to MSW G1 Prix Rothschild and G1 Prix Jean Romanet placegetter Steip Amach (Ire) (Vocalised). The March-foaled chestnut's third dam Sharafanya (Ire) (Zafonic) is kin to G2 Goldene Peitsche victor Giant Sandman (Ire) (Footstepsinthesand {GB}) and Listed Harvest S. placegetter Shalamantika (Ire) (Nashwan), herself the dam of G1 Prix de l'Opera heroine Shalanaya (Ire) (Lomitas {GB}) and G2 Prix Chaudeay winner Shankardeh (Ire) (Azamour {Ire}). Malavath's G3 Prix Minerve-winning fourth dam Sharamana (Ire) (Darshaan {GB}) is a half-sister to G1 Epsom Derby, G1 Irish Derby and G1 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Diamond S. hero Shergar (GB) (Great Nephew {GB}). Fidaaha has a yearling full-brother to Malavath and a weanling filly by Cotai Glory (GB) to come.
