Kodiac’s Ubettabelieveit Takes the Flying Childers

Bouncing back from a last-place finish in the G2 Gimcrack S. at York Aug. 21, the July 16 Listed National S. winner Ubettabelieveit (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) edged out Sacred (GB) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) in a thriller to capture Friday’s G2 Bombardier Flying Childers S. at Doncaster. Drawn widest, the bay who was sent off at an inflated 40-1 raced in rear of the group racing up the centre early before moving to the fore approaching the furlong pole. Gaining a narrow advantage over that 11-10 favourite with 150 yards remaining, he drifted right but was always holding her to score by a short head, with Measure of Magic (Ire) (Kodi Bear {Ire}) 1 1/4 lengths away in third. Ridden by Rowan Scott, the winner was providing the burgeoning jockey with an instant breakthrough. “I’m delighted to get a group winner so soon after riding my claim out,” he said. “The horse did it very well, he didn’t make it easy for himself, but it’s happy days. It was a big race so I wanted to do everything right, but you have to treat it like another race.”

Successful by 3 1/2 lengths in a course-and-distance novice contest June 30, Ubettabelieveit went up the ladder again with success in the National also at this trip at Sandown July 16 before pulling his chance away and flopping in the Gimcrack. Trainer Nigel Tinkler had kept the faith and his stable star had a suitably strong pace to aim at in this race which was swerved by the G2 Norfolk S. winner The Lir Jet (Ire) (Prince of Lir {Ire}) due to the drying ground. “He showed how good he was in the National Stakes–he’s a very, very good horse,” he said of the latest longshot to win a juvenile pattern race in 2020. “Last time, I probably shouldn’t have run him over six there. He ran too keen and the ground was horrific. Everything went wrong, but luckily Oisin Murphy looked after him. How he was 40-1 I don’t know–it was probably because I train him! Unbelievable. You’re always wondering at this time of year, but he was working well and this is brilliant. He was given a fantastic ride.”

Tinkler revealed that he is yet to be tempted by a tilt at the G1 Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp, where he will receive a sizeable weight-for-age allowance. “There’s a one per-cent chance he could run in the Abbaye,” he added. “He wouldn’t run there if it was soft, but that’s the one race you’d have to possibly think about. It’s one per-cent, because it might be soft by then. We’ll see how he is–the ground would have to be no worse than good.”

Ubettabelieveit’s dam Ladylishandra (Ire) (Mujadil) had already produced a trio of black-type winners, which makes it all the more remarkable that he was available for just 50,000gns at the Tattersalls October Book 1. They are Harlem Shake (Ire) (Moss Vale {Ire}), who took the G3 Premio Omenoni, Tropical Paradise (Ire) (Verglas {Ire}) who annexed the G3 Oak Tree S. and G3 Supreme S., and Shenanigans (Ire) (Arcano {Ire}) who had her day in the sun in the Listed Rothesay S. and was also third in the G3 Princess Elizabeth S. and G3 Hoppings S. The family includes the sires Jim French, Ajdal, Formidable and Caesour. Ladylishandra’s yearling filly by Galileo Gold (GB) is catalogued in the upcoming Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale.

Profitable Filly Tops Relocated Tattersalls Ascot Yearling Sale

The relocated Tattersalls Ascot Yearling Sale witnessed increases across the board, producing a solid final set of key indicators. A total of 203 horses sold for 2,341,350 guineas (US$3,236,736) (+81%) at an average of 11,533 guineas (US$15,943) (+13%) with a median of 8,000 guineas (US$11,059) (+5%).

Lot 135, a filly by Profitable, consigned by Derek Veitch's Ringfort Stud topped the day's trade when selling to Kevin Ross for 58,000 guineas (US$80,184). The filly's page received a notable boost as her second dam Dancing Prize is the grandam of Minzaal, this year's Gimcrack Stakes winner for Owen Burrows.

Lot 225, a colt consigned by Norris Bloodstock, the first crop from Arlington Million winner Mondialiste attracted interest from a number of parties but it was Aidan O'Ryan and Richard Fahey who came out on top securing the colt for 47,000 guineas (US$64,976).

Ringfort Stud also offered Lot 143 an El Kabeir half-sister to this year's Lowther Stakes winner and Ascot Yearling Sale graduate Miss Amulet. The filly caught the imagination of a number of bidders but it was Nick Bell who struck the winning bid of 45,000 guineas (US$62,211) on behalf of his father Michael.

Joe Foley was responsible for purchasing the fourth highest priced lot of the day when signing for Lot 93, a filly offered by Houghton Bloodstock by sire sensation Night of Thunder. Houghton Bloodstock ended the day as leading consignors selling a total of nine lots for 161,000 guineas (US$222,569) at an average of 17,889 guineas (US$24,730).

Peter and Ross Doyle were the leading purchasers on the day securing a total of six lots for an aggregate of 150,000 guineas (US$207,364). Among these purchases was Lot 105, an Ardad filly consigned by Britton House Stud from the family of Sakhee's Secret.

At the conclusion of the sale, Matthew Prior, head of Tattersalls Ascot commented;

“We have witnessed robust trade throughout the day, and it is hugely pleasing to see gains made across the board. Vendors have noticeably increased the quality on offer and have been rewarded with both strong domestic and international participation. Our thanks go to Tattersalls for accommodating the relocated sale to its headquarters in Park Paddocks, along with Great British Racing International who have assisted in the promotion and airport transfers for those traveling from further afield. We look forward to charting the progress of this year's graduates from a sale that goes from strength to strength.”

Dream Ahead’s Dream of Dreams Wins the Sprint Cup

Finally gaining the top-level success his record demanded, Saeed Suhail’s Dream of Dreams (Ire) (Dream Ahead) justified 5-2 favouritism in a strong renewal of Haydock’s G1 Betfair Sprint Cup on Saturday. Tracking the correct pace racing among the stand’s-side group throughout the early stages, the ultra-impressive G2 Hungerford S. winner was delivered by Oisin Murphy to lead passing the furlong pole. Despite the game efforts of Glen Shiel (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) and Golden Horde (Ire) (Lethal Force {Ire}) from there, the Freemason Lodge stalwart had too much in hand and hit the line with 1 1/4 lengths to spare over the former, with a neck back to the consistent Golden Horde in third. “I was really excited about getting back on him, as the feel he gave me the last day was incredible so I’m thrilled he backed that up,” Murphy said. “He travelled well and picked up slowly–he didn’t have that burst like last time but I think it was because he didn’t have a lot to race with. He tends to drift a little left and doesn’t do much in front, but I had Golden Horde that way for something to race with. To ride group 1 winners for Sir Michael Stoute is the stuff of dreams.”

Dream of Dreams’ seven-length Hungerford romp was not coming out of turn, with conditions ideal there as he moved back up to seven furlongs again Aug. 15. Equally as effective over this trip, as he had shown when a strong-closing runner-up in the last two editions of Royal Ascot’s G1 Diamond Jubilee S., he had at times in the past two years disappointed when it came to the crunch in the major sprints and was only eighth in this in 2019. In a good place since being gelded after also flopping in the G1 QIPCO British Champion Sprint S. at Ascot in October, he had built on his June 20 Diamond Jubilee effort with his emphatic Newbury triumph and capped it with this achievement. Back over the course and distance over which he broke his maiden in May 2016 when trained by Kevin Ryan, the chestnut was eventually reaching the summit.

With so many notable sprinters well beaten here, connections have no fear of targetting the upcoming Champions Sprint and the owner’s representative Philip Robinson said, “He’s just all of a sudden improved. The gelding has helped, without a shadow of a doubt. His mind is in the job. He’s a different horse now and I think Sir Michael’s big trick with him is to keep him fresh and he’s giving him plenty of time between races. He’s thriving. He’s discovering how easy it is and now he’s got his confidence, onwards and upwards. Champions Day is very possible. I think that will probably be his next target.”

Dream of Dreams is likely to meet Glen Shiel there after another honourable run from the improved fellow 6-year-old. “He rallied when headed and he’s chased the winner all the way to the line,” jockey Hollie Doyle said. “I can’t fault him. I thought I might win two down. Nothing was on my girths, but then the winner started coming. He ran a massive race and Archie has done an amazing job placing him throughout the season. He keeps improving himself and I didn’t expect to travel as well as he did–he surprised me.”

The winner’s unraced dam Vasilia (GB) (Dansili {GB}) has also produced the G3 Solario S. runner-up Silverheels (Ire) (Verglas {Ire}) and the Listed Dragon S. runner-up Lasilia (Ire) Acclamation {GB}), who is in turn the dam of the listed-placed Brassica (Ire) (Australia {GB}). Vasilia is kin to the G1 Cheveley Park S. heroine Airwave (GB) (Air Express {Ire}), whose three black-type winners include the G3 Lanwades Stud Fillies’ S. winner Aloof (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and the Listed Curragh S. winner and G2 Queen Mary S. runner-up Meow (Ire) (Storm Cat). She achieved notoriety as Broodmare of the Year in 2017 courtesy of the exploits of her Galileo progeny Churchill (Ire) and Clemmie (Ire). Airwave’s ill-fated half-sister Jwala (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) caused an upset when winning the G1 Nunthorpe S. before being fatally-injured in the 2013 G1 Hong Kong Sprint. Vasilia’s 2-year-old colt Fantastic Fox (GB) (Frankel {GB}) was bought by SackvilleDonald for 260,000gns at the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 1, while her yearling filly by Galileo (Ire) is due to sell at the upcoming Book 1.

Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale Revises Schedule, Location

Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale is now set to take place over two days at Park Paddocks, Newmarket on Monday, Sept. 21 and Tuesday, Sept. 22, with Part II taking place directly after the September Yearling Sale on Tuesday, Sept. 22.

The revised schedule is in response to the relocation of the sale to Park Paddocks, Newmarket. The remaining Tattersalls Ireland sales program for 2020 will stay in Ireland and any yearling vendor not wishing to sell in Newmarket will be accommodated in the new yearling section at the Tattersalls Ireland Flat Foal and Breeding Stock Sale on 13 November, entries for which are now being taken.

The sale will commence on Monday, Sept. 21 at 11 a.m. and Tuesday, Sept. 22 at 10 a.m.

Amongst a host of high class yearlings, the 2020 catalog features the half-sister to Dandalla, the half-sister to Minzaal and the half-brother to yesterday's Group 3 Fairy Bridge Stakes winner Champers Elysees. All yearlings cataloged and offered at the Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale are eligible for the €300,000 Tattersalls Ireland Super Auction Sales Stakes.

Commenting on the revised schedule for the September Yearling Sale, Tattersalls Ireland CEO Matt Mitchell said;

“Following the decision to move the September Yearling Sale to Tattersalls Park Paddocks in Newmarket and as a result of the feedback from vendors, the two-day format for the September Yearling Sale and Part II can now be confirmed. By having the sale over two days, we believe we will be able to provide the best marketplace possible. The introduction of a new yearling section in to the November Flat Foal & Breeding Stock Sale has given vendors a viable alternative in respect of where they wish to sell their yearlings.”
