De Treville’s Gain It Earns TDN Rising Star Tag At Saint-Cloud

Rashit Shaykhutdinov's homebred 2-year-old filly Gain It (GB) (De Treville {GB}–Gagarina {Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}) registered a snug one-length tally tackling 6 1/2 furlongs at Saint-Cloud last month and returned to that debut scene of that triumph to claim 'TDN Rising Stardom' with a monster exhibition upped to seven furlongs for Saturday's Prix Amber Rama. Adopting different tactics after a sharp exit and in command throughout, the 7-10 favourite was untroubled in the straight and powered ever clear inside the final quarter mile to easily outclass dual winner Ser Sed (Ire) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}) by a mightily impressive seven lengths.

Gain It is the latest of five reported foals and one of three scorers out of a winning half-sister to GII San Clemente H. and GII Honeymoon Breeders' Cup H. victrix Altima (GB) (Zafonic) and G3 Prix des Chenes second San Domenico (GB) (Zamindar). The April-foaled bay is a full-sister to Listed Prix Volterra runner-up Gregarina (Fr). Descendants of her third dam Atropa (Vaguely Noble {Ire}) include G3 Prix de Psyche victrix Tenuous (GB) (Generous {Ire}), dual stakes-winning G3 Prix de Cabourg and G3 Prix d'Aumale third Kithira (GB) (Danehill) and stakes-winning dual Group 3 runner-up Tombelaine (First Defence).

No Nay Never’s Little Big Bear Too Good In The Anglesey

He had already looked one of Ballydoyle's brightest prospects prior to Saturday's G3 Jebel Ali Racecourse And Stables Anglesey S., but TDN Rising Star Little Big Bear (Ire) (No Nay Never) now looks the real deal after running away with The Curragh's juvenile staging post. Withdrawn from the G2 July S. when the ground got too quick at Newmarket, the June 15 Listed Windsor Castle S. winner led all bar the rail-running Kodi Noir (Ire) (Kessaar {Ire}) throughout the early stages with that outsider on borrowed time. Asked to pick up heading to two out, the 2-5 favourite drew away in impressive fashion to register a 4 3/4-length verdict over Yosemite Valley (GB) (Shamardal), with the filly Badb (Ire) (Footstepsinthesand {GB}) half a length away in third.

 

“He's always shown a lot and is a lovely smooth traveller who's very uncomplicated,” commented Aidan O'Brien, who was recording a 12th success in this race and putting him one behind the late great Vincent O'Brien. “He's very happy to make the running and very happy to sit in. Ryan said he couldn't believe how easily he was going down past the two today. He said when he asked him the response was very quick. Even though he's big, he's very strong and mature, he's powerful. Interestingly, Ryan said today that he could be a Dewhurst horse or a National Stakes horse. Obviously he's running through the line and that's a good sign. You'd have to have him as a Guineas horse, definitely at the moment. When they feel like they are going to get seven at two they usually get a mile at three. He could obviously come back here for the Phoenix Stakes, that would be the plan and that's what we were thinking coming here today.”

Little Big Bear looks like a potential miler on racing style and on pedigree, being out of the Listed Prix de Liancourt winner and G3 Prix Cleopatre runner-up and and GI E P Taylor S. fourth Adventure Seeker (Fr) (Bering {GB}) who produced the G3 Hobart Cup runner-up Andrea Mantegna (Giant's Causeway). A half to the G3 Princess Margaret S.-placed Along Again (Ire) (Elusive City), she is a granddaughter of the legendary All Along (Fr), the French champion and US Horse of the Year in 1983 courtesy of her G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, GI Turf Classic, G1 Rothmans International and GI Washington D. C. International victories. Adventure Seeker's yearling is a full-brother to Little Big Bear.

Frankel’s Hans Andersen Powers To Rising Stardom In Ireland

Westerberg and Coolmore's 450,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 yearling Hans Andersen (GB) (Frankel {GB}–Shadow Hunter {Ire}, by Arcano {Ire}) gained much benefit for his debut run, tackling an extended seven furlongs at Tipperary last month, and earned a 'TDN Rising Star' badge with a dominant display down to seven furlongs for Saturday's Juddmonte Farms Expert Eye Irish EBF (C&G) Maiden at the Curragh. The 10-11 favourite was sharply into stride to gain immediate control. Nudged along when the pack threatened approaching the quarter-mile marker, he held a comfortable buffer entering the final furlong and quickened beyond recall in style before easily holding the late rush of Al Riffa (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) by 1 3/4 lengths.

“He had a lovely run the first day, he learned plenty and we're delighted with him,” said Aidan O'Brien. “He was a little bit green turning in in Tipperary and came forward lovely. He won well today and should have no problem stepping into stakes company now. He should have no problem going further, but there is no rush to step him up [in trip]. He could come back here for the [G2] Futurity or something like that.”

Hans Andersen, full-brother to a yearling colt, is the second of three foals and lone runner produced by Listed Roses S. victrix and G3 Cornwallis S. third Shadow Hunter (Ire) (Arcano {Ire}), herself the leading performer out of a winning half to G1 1000 Guineas placegetter Super Sleuth (Ire) (Selkirk). The January-foaled bay's stakes-placed third dam Enemy Action (Forty Niner), herself a daughter of the stakes-placed Sun And Shade (GB) (Ajdal), is a half-sister to dual Group 2-winning sire Daggers Drawn (Diesis {GB}) and to the dams of GI Garden City S. third Concise (GB) (Lemon Drop Kid) and G3 Premio Regina Elena (Italian 1000 Guineas) heroine Evading Tempete (GB) (by Dubai Destination).

Teofilo’s West Wind Blows Impresses In Hamilton Romp

One of those who paid for going too fast before it got serious in the Derby, Abdulla Al Mansoori's West Wind Blows (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) showed that big experience had done nothing to dent his natural enthusiasm with a command performance in Friday's Listed British Stallions Studs EBF Glasgow S. at Hamilton. Earning TDN Rising Star status in a 10-furlong novice at Nottingham May 6, the Simon and Ed Crisford-trained son of the G1 Prix de Diane heroine West Wind (GB) (Machiavellian) had run ninth in the Blue Riband having helped force a pace that proved too demanding June 4. Sent straight to the front by Ben Curtis in this 11-furlong contest won in recent times by the likes of Postponed (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), Defoe (Ire) (Dalakhani {Ire}) and Subjectivist (GB) (Teofilo {Ire}), the 5-4 favourite was propelled forward by the presence of Groundbreaker (Ger) (Oasis Dream {GB}) in the straight and powered away to register a margin to that rival of 7 1/2 lengths at the line.

Withdrawn from Newbury's 10-furlong Dubai Duty Free Golf World Cup British EBF Conditions S. Apr. 17 after he unseated his rider and got loose before the start, West Wind Blows who hails from the family of Coroebus (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) is unbeaten bar his Derby reversal having also won on debut over an extended 10 furlongs at Newcastle in December. “Ben thought he'd be a bit keen here, but he came back to him and he was idling in front,” the owner's racing manager Phillip Robinson said. “He really performed tonight and it the Derby probably made a man of him. He ran an extraordinary race there and seems to have come on mentally for that. He didn't wear a hood and was relaxed–he's just a proper horse. He has an entry in the [G2 Great] Voltigeur and the Arc, so we'll see.”

West Wind Blows is the eighth foal out of the 2007 Diane heroine, whose other black-type performer was the G3 Eclipse S. runner-up Setting Sail (GB) (Dansili {GB}), GSP-Aus, $125,876. The second dam is the G2 Sun Chariot S. winner Red Slippers (Nureyev), whose daughter Eastern Joy (GB) (Dubai Destination) is responsible for six black-type scorers including the dual Dubai World Cup hero Thunder Snow (Ire) (Helmet {Aus}), the G2 May Hill S. winner and G1 1000 Guineas-placed Ihtimal (Ire) (Shamardal) and Always Smile (Ire) (Cape Cross {Ire}) who was runner-up in the G1 Sun Chariot S. and third in the G1 Falmouth S.

Also out of Eastern Joy is the G3 Oh So Sharp S. scorer First Victory (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}), whose aforementioned son Coroebus is now the winner of the 2000 Guineas and St James's Palace S. This is also the family of the G1 Irish Derby and G1 Epsom Oaks heroine Balanchine (Storm Bird) and the G1 Irish Derby hero Sovereign (Ire) by Teofilo's sire Galileo (Ire). West Wind's 2-year-old colt is a full-brother to the winner, who is the fourth TDN Rising Star for his sire and second this year alongside the recent fellow listed scorer Wexford Native (Ire).
