Awtaad’s Al Qareem All Heart In Paris

ParisLongchamp's mammoth Arc weekend opened with the G2 Qatar Prix Chaudenay, which went the way of Karl Burke trainee Al Qareem (Ire) (Awtaad {Ire}–Moqla {GB}, by Teofilo {Ire}) after a thrilling finale to the 15-furlong contest. The 3-year-old gelding, who had snagged handicaps at Nottingham and York earlier this term, was last seen finishing seventh in Goodwood's G3 Gordon S. and went postward as an 11-2 chance. Tracking the leader in second until taking over at the entrance to the straight, he was scrubbed along when tackled approaching the quarter-mile pole and stayed on in resolute fashion under a continued drive to deny Sober (Fr) (Camelot {GB}) by a nostril after a ding-dong tussle.

“He's been mega unlucky a few times this year and I'm so delighted to win a big one with him,” commented owner Nick Bradley. “It was my fault [when he was fourth in the G2 Queen's Vase] at [Royal] Ascot as I told Clifford [Lee] to make the running on him, but he just did too much and was too free. He was a bit unlucky at Newmarket [when second in the G3 Bahrain Trophy] and Goodwood didn't go to plan, but the form of that race is amazingly strong. I'll have a good look at the programme book, but he could go to Saudi Arabia and there's also the Gold Cup on Dubai World Cup night at Meydan.”

Al Qareem, half-brother to a yearling colt by Muhaarar (GB), is the second of three foals produced by an unraced half-sister to G3 Earl of Sefton S. victor Mahsoob (GB) (Dansili {Ire}) and becomes the third pattern-race winner for his sire (by Cape Cross {Ire}). His second dam is the multiple stakes-placed Mooakada (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}), herself a granddaughter of G3 Prestige S. victrix and G1 1000 Guineas third Bint Shadayid (Nashwan). The latter is one of two stakes winners bred from G1 1000 Guineas and G1 Prix Marcel Boussac heroine Shadayid (Shadeed), whose descendants also include GIII Thunder Road S. winner and GI Shoemaker Mile runner-up Farhaan (Jazil).

Bloodstock consultant Harry McAlpine has been named as an additional Tattersalls Australasian representative alongside Jenny McAlpine. The Queensland native is based on the McAlpine family's Eureka Stud, and handles stallion nominations and sales. He also acts as a bloodstock agent and consultant managing the Black Soil Bloodstock racing and breeding operation of Brian Siemsen.

Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony said, “Harry is a great addition to the Tattersalls team of overseas representatives and his appointment working alongside Jenny McAlpine demonstrates the importance we attach to promoting Tattersalls sales throughout Australia and New Zealand. Having worked at Tattersalls in Newmarket and at William Inglis in Sydney, Harry is already familiar with the Tattersalls ethos and sales portfolio and between him and Jenny, Tattersalls has two highly respected individuals to represent the company in a hugely important market.”

McAlpine added, “Tattersalls has a fantastic reputation in both Australia and New Zealand and to be promoting Tattersalls alongside Jenny is a role I am looking forward to enormously.”

Tattersalls Director Jimmy George Joins Writers’ Room

A week out from his company's marquee October Yearling Sale, Tattersalls Director Jimmy George joined the TDN Writers' Room presented by Keeneland Tuesday as the Green Group Guest of the Week to discuss the increasing American participation in the sale, the booming yearling market, opportunities for American buyers with the lopsided exchange rate and more.

“It's not quite buy one, get one free, but it's very nearly that,” George said of the potential sales results of the exchange rate, where pounds are nearly equal to dollars at this point. “Honestly, the weakness of the pound is a little bit alarming in some senses to anybody who actually lives here, but for anybody trading in U.S. dollars, they will come to Book 1 of the October Sale next week and be buying the same quality of horse for 20-25% less than they were paying last year. That is a massive discount. This is an unprecedented opportunity for anyone who wants to race turf horses of the highest quality in North America. So all I can say is, take advantage. It probably won't be like this for a very long time.”

Elsewhere on the show, which is also sponsored by Coolmore, the KTOB, Lane's End, XBTV, Three Chimneys, West Point Thoroughbreds and Legacy Bloodstock, host Joe Bianca said his farewell as he moves on from the show, he and Bill Finley welcomed new co-host Zoe Cadman, and all three reacted to the sensational Saturday for superstar stallion Gun Runner.
