Teofilo’s West Wind Blows Dominates The Prince d’Orange

Becoming the fourth colt to emerge from the Goodwood's G3 Gordon S. and register a black-type success, Abdulla Al Mansoori's TDN Rising Star West Wind Blows (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) proved too strong for his rivals in Sunday's G3 Prix du Prince d'Orange at ParisLongchamp. Only sixth behind Saturday's G1 St Leger favourite New London (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) when ridden from the front in that mile-and-a-half contest July 28, the imposing bay was under restraint this time as the deputising Kieran Shoemark anchored him with two behind from the break. Arriving wide in the straight, the 29-10 second favourite hung repeatedly right from two out but his sheer physical dominance saw him overhaul Ilic (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}) a furlong from home and assert for a 1 3/4-length success from that outsider. The positively-ridden 8-5 favourite Epic Poet (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) was the same margin away in third.

West Wind Blows, who had taken Hamilton's 11-furlong Listed Glasgow S. over 11 furlongs July 15 after finishing ninth in the Derby, was capping a day to remember for his rider who stepped in for William Buick following that rider's fall in the Moulin. He was also becoming the 13th winner from the last 23 runners from the red-hot Simon and Ed Crisford stable and Ed was on hand to say, “He settled really well today, which was key. The owner was very keen to go back to a mile and a quarter and it worked out perfectly as there was pace on. He picked up nicely, but he still did a lot of things wrong so he's got a lot of learning to do.”

“He's a very exciting horse and I think he's just babyish–Kieran said he did everything wrong in the race, but his natural talent got him to the line in front, so there's lots to work with,” Crisford Jr added. “He is in the Arc, so we'll see what the owner wants to do but he's a very exciting horse for next year really. It's all about that. We think he stays a mile and a half, so we could be tempted by the Arc and he is versatile with regards to ground, he just doesn't want extremes.”

West Wind Blows, who becomes the 60th group winner for his sire, is the eighth foal out of the G1 Prix de Diane heroine West Wind (GB) (Machiavellian) who was also placed in the G1 Prix Vermeille and G1 Pretty Polly S. and whose previous best was the ill-fated G3 Eclipse S. runner-up Setting Sail (GB) (Dansili {GB}). The second dam is the G2 Sun Chariot S. winner Red Slippers (Nureyev), whose daughter Eastern Joy (GB) (Dubai Destination) has proven an excellent producer for Godolphin with six black-type winners headed by the high-achieving globetrotter Thunder Snow (Ire) (Helmet {Aus}).

Eastern Joy's classy sextet also features Teofilo's G3 Oh So Sharp S. winner First Victory (Ire), dam of this year's 2000 Guineas and St James's Palace S. hero Coroebus (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) who had so sadly broke down at the track half an hour beforehand. Red Slippers is in turn a full-sister to the G2 Jockey Club S. scorer and Epsom third Romanov (Ire) and a half to the Oaks and Irish Derby heroine Balanchine (Storm Bird), with her many high-class relatives including another Irish Derby hero in Sovereign (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). West Wind's 2-year-old is a full-brother to West Wind Blows, while she also has a colt foal by Masar (Ire).

Teofilo’s Naval Power Stretches Unbeaten Run

   Sent off at 1-3 to extend his winning sequence in Saturday's Listed Ascendant S. at Haydock, Naval Power (GB) (Teofilo {Ire}) overcame some trouble in running to add to Charlie Appleby's enviable recent tally in juvenile black-type races. With the stable dominant in the G2 Gimcrack S., Listed Stonehenge S., G3 Solario S. and G3 Prestige S. in the past fortnight and soon to garner the G3 Sirenia S. later in the afternoon, any other result than an easy success for the 6 1/2-length Listed Pat Eddery S. winner would have been a major disappointment.

For a brief period inside the final three furlongs, that looked a possibility after William Buick had been intent on finding cover early and therefore found himself trapped in a pocket against the fence. As the leader Lion Of War (GB) (Roaring Lion) tired in front, Dancing Magic (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) held the homebred there until he was able to get out a furlong from home. From there, he readily drew away for an ultimately comfortable 1 1/4-length verdict over the latter.

Appleby has the G2 Royal Lodge S. at Newmarket as the next port of call for Naval Power and said, “That was another good learning day for him–Will got him into a nice box seat there and he's had to fight for his gap,” he said. “He brought experience into the race and the one thing I was pretty confident he was going to do was see it out well, so once the gap came his stamina came in and it kicked in at the right time. The plan if all had gone well today was to head to the Royal Lodge S. The Futurity Trophy would be talked about, but he's a horse that loves a sound surface so he's more likely to go for the Royal Lodge and if we're lucky enough to win that we'll put him away for next year.”

“On pedigree, he should be able to stretch out to a mile and a quarter and hopefully beyond but for a horse with that pedigree he has a lot of natural pace as well,” his trainer added. “He was very impressive at Ascot over the seven doing what he did and today was a different surface and he showed great courage and a bit of class. He's been hard to assess, as he's not a flashy worker and was leading a lot of the 2-year-olds early on. He's a straightforward horse who has done nothing but progress on the racetrack rather than at home.”

Naval Power, who beat the Gosdens' well-regarded Alzahir (Fr) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) on debut at Yarmouth May 26 before following up at Leicester June 23 and in Ascot's Pat Eddery on the King George card, is out of a daughter of the GI Spinster S. winner Asi Siempre (El Prado {Ire}) who produced the stable's GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf-winning sire Outstrip (GB) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}). The dam, who was bought by Blandford Bloodstock for just €18,000 at last year's Goffs November Breeding Stock Sale, has a yearling filly by Harry Angel (Ire) who proved a snip at only €11,000 when purchased by John Madigan at this year's Goffs February Sale. She also has a filly foal by Raven's Pass.

Fastnet Rock Filly Impresses With Spa Debut

2nd-Saratoga, $105,000, Msw, 8-4, 2yo, f, 5 1/2fT, 1:02.45, fm, 1/2 length.
ALLURING ANGEL (GB) (f, 2, Fastnet Rock {Aus}–All of Me {GB}, by Teofilo{Ire}), a 48,000gns weanling purchase out of the 2020 Tattersalls December Foal Sale, went off as the 4-1 third choice Thursday in her career debut. Far back off the pace with only one horse beat through the opening furlong, she raced two wide outside of Gustiamo (Blame) before clearing to the rail midway around the bend. Under a ride past the quarter pole, Alluring Angel swung out five wide as the field straightened and began to rally with authority down the center of the lane. As pacesetter Illicit (Into Mischief) tired into the final eighth, post-time favorite Cowichan (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) briefly took over from the three path before being inhaled on the outside by a fast closing Alluring Angel who stormed past in the final strides to win by a half-length. Illicit would fade to wind up fifth. The winner is bred on a similar cross to this owner's Star Devine (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), who achieved 'TDN Rising Star' honors with a fast-finishing debut victory at Aqueduct in April 2021. Star Devine, who won last year's Galway S. at the Spa, is out of a daughter of the late Galileo (Ire), while Thursday's winner is out of a mare by Galileo's successful son Teofilo (Ire). All Of Me (GB), herself a half-sister to MG1SP I Can Fly (GB) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), has since produced a yearling colt by Showcasing (GB) and dropped a colt by Earthlight (Ire) in 2022. Sales History: 48,000gns Wlg '20 TATFOA. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $57,750. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by TVG.
