Wootton Bassett Colt A New Rising Star At ParisLongchamp

Jean-Claude Rouget unveiled another TDN Rising Star at ParisLongchamp on Thursday as Nurlan Bizakov's Padishakh (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}–Penny Lane {Ger}, by Lord Of England {Ger}) scored with abundant promise in the Prix de Fontenoy over a mile for colts and gelding beginners. Anchored in fifth early by Cristian Demuro, the 100-30 second favourite tended to over-race but when asked to stretch two out found a 10.94 penultimate split to reach the Wertheimers' Speechman (Kingman {GB}) on the front end. Stretching away from the furlong pole, the bay hit the line strong with 2 1/2 lengths to spare over the eye-catching Juddmonte homebred Halfway Line (GB) (Zoffany {Ire}), with Speechman a further 1 1/4 lengths behind in third.

The winner, who cost €130,000 at the Arqana Deauville August Sale, is the third TDN Rising Star for his sire and hails from a strong German family. He is the second and currently last known foal out of Penny Lane, who was successful in the Listed Prix des Sablonnets and finished third in the G3 Prix Cleopatre. Her first foal, the 3-year-old filly Snap Ambush (Fr) by Wootton Bassett's son Almanzor (Fr) who was a €250,000 Arqana Deauville Select Sale graduate tragically broke down when looking in control of a Chelmsford handicap last month and had to be euthanised.

The listed-placed second dam Peace Time (Ger) (Surumu {Ger}) proved prolific at producing black-type performers, with five to boast of including Penny Lane. They are Lord Of England's G1 Preis der Diana heroine Palmas (Ger), the dual group 3 winner Peace Royale (Ger) (Sholokhov {Ire}), the G3 Fahrhofer Stutenpreis scorer Peaceful Love (Ger) (Dashing Blade {GB}) and the G2 Park Hill S. runner-up Phiz (Ger) (Galileo {Ire}). Peace Royale went on to produce the black-type winners Peace In Motion (Hat Trick {Jpn}) and Peace Society (Iffraaj {GB}), while Peaceful Love threw the G3 Prix la Force scorer Pao Alto (Fr) (Intello {Ger}) and Phiz the G2 Dubai Gold Cup-placed Al Madhar (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}). Another of her daughters Peace of Glory (Ger) also by Sholokhov was responsible for Peaches (Ger), a further Lord Of England who captured the Listed Winterkonigin Trial, and the G3 Zukunftsrennen third Peace Of Paris (Ger) (Helmet {Aus}).

Zoffany’s Sakheer Impresses With TDN Rising Star Display

KHK Racing's once-raced 2-year-old colt Sakheer (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}–Shortmile Lady {Ire}, by Arcano {Ire}), who shaped with a deal of promise when posting a debut second going six furlongs at Windsor last month, was a class above his rivals in Thursday's Auction Finance EBF Novice S. over the same trip at Haydock and attained 'TDN Rising Star' status with a mightily impressive display of raw power. Swiftly into stride for an early advantage, the 1-2 favourite was untroubled from halfway and extended clear in hand to easily rout Acai (Ire) (Kodi Bear {Ire}) by six lengths. The Roger Varian trainee is engaged in Newbury's Sept. 17 G2 Mill Reef S. and the G1 Middle Park S. at Newmarket one week later.

“He ran a great race first time out, he picked up and finished well clear of the third,” commented winning rider David Egan. “We wanted him to have a nice debut, he learnt a lot and came from behind. I expected him to take a step forward and, from halfway, I knew he was a class above the rest. It's been a great job by everyone at home to get him here and to get his win. To do it like that was impressive and the feel he gave me was even more impressive. I don't think I've had an easier race, in any sort of race, since I've been riding. He has a big price tag, he's got some big entries coming up and there is a lot more in the tank. Horses like this make our jobs easier, he's a classy individual and very exciting.”

Sakheer, who was the highest-priced lot when knocked down for €550,000 at this year's Arqana Breeze-Up sale, is the fifth of seven foals and third scorer out of a half-sister to G3 Prix de Meautry winner Indian Maiden (Ire) (Indian Ridge {Ire}), herself the dam of G3 World Trophy victrix Maid In India (Ire) (Bated Breath {GB}) and the dual stakes-winning G3 Prix de Ris-Orangis runner-up Love Spirit (GB) (Elusive City). The February-foaled bay is a half-brother to multiple Group-winning GI Beverly D. S. third Lemista (Ire) (Raven's Pass), a yearling colt by Exceed And Excel (Aus) and a weanling filly by Sea The Stars (Ire).

Kingman’s 50th Stakes Winner As Habana Strikes At Baden-Baden

Labelled a TDN Rising Star following her emphatic winning debut over 6 1/2 furlongs at Cologne July 10, Gestut Fahrhof's homebred Habana (Ger) (Kingman {GB}) justified all the hype with an impressive follow-up in Wednesday's G3 149th Renate & Albrecht Woeste Zukunfts-Rennen at Baden-Baden. Held up in last early by a confident Eduardo Pedroza, the Andreas Wohler-trained 8-5 favourite was unleashed turning for home and her sustained effort saw her take command passing the furlong pole en route to a two-length success from See Paris (Ger) (Counterattack {Aus}).

Habana, who holds an entry in the G1 Prix Marcel Boussac, becomes the 50th stakes winner for her sire and is the second foal out of the G3 Premio Primi Passi heroine Hargeisa (Speightstown), whose dam is the Omnibus S. winner Hasay (GB) (Lomitas {GB}) who is in turn out of the Listed Criterium du Fonds Europeen de l'Elevage winner and GIII Matchmaker S. runner-up Saralea (Fr) (Sillery). From the family of the Hong Kong Gold Cup hero Deauville (Fr) (Groom Dancer), Hargeisa also has the promising 3-year-old colt by Frankel (GB) named Huancayo (Ger) and a filly foal by Pinatubo (Ire).

No ‘Maybe’ About It: Upstart Filly Crushes Saratoga Foes for ‘Rising Star’ Nod

Lael Stables' THE GREAT MAYBE (Upstart), let go at 8-1 in a live-looking field of juvenile fillies Sunday at Saratoga, made that price look like a gift when winning a far-turn pace duel and bursting clear in the stretch for a first-out romp and 'TDN Rising Star' honors.

Bought by De Meric Sales for $55,000 at Fasig-Tipton October, the dark bay blossomed into a $425,000 OBS March 2-year-old after breezing a furlong in :10 flat–her sire's most expensive progeny to sell thus far in 2022–and showed an above-average but not spectacular worktab on paper, capped by a half-mile gate breeze here in :48 3/5 (6/67) Aug. 21. Made the fourth choice in a field where only one of the 10 fillies had experience, The Great Maybe was away well enough from her rail draw and settled in third early as I'm a County Girl (More Than Ready) was quickest past a salty :22.13 quarter. Sneaking through inside and soon going by that rival midway around the turn, the Cherie DeVaux trainee left the half behind in :45.28 and showed no signs of stopping down the lane, pouring it on en route to a eight-length romp in 1:10.24. Love to Shop (Violence), the 9-5 favorite, edged out longshot Quiescent (Nyquist) for second.

The winner is the second foal to race out of her dam, a half-sister to three black-type performers who has a yearling Midshipman colt and produced a colt by Promises Fulfilled this season before returning to Upstart for 2023.
