Teofilo’s Naval Power Outclasses Ascot Rivals By Daylight

Godolphin's hitherto undefeated homebred Naval Power (GB) (Teofilo {Ire}–Emirates Rewards {GB}, by Dubawi {Ire}), who garnered novice events at Great Yarmouth in May and Leicester last month, and is now bound for a seat at the top table after streaking to an impressive success in this black-type bow. Positioned second in the slipstream of the pacesetting Finn's Charm (GB) (Kingman {GB}) through the initial fractions, he eased into an open lane soon after halfway and powered clear once stirred into action at the two pole to easily outclass Waiting All Night (GB) (Rajasinghe {Ire}) by daylight for a career high.

“I was pleased with his first run, confident with him second time and very confident coming here over seven [furlongs],” said trainer Charlie Appleby of the G1 Vincent O'Brien National S. entry. “What we have seen is an exciting horse and my feeling is that when we go up to a mile he will improve again. We will see him at his best in a Group 1 over a mile, maybe in a race like the [G1] Vertem Futurity Trophy at Doncaster. We haven't seen an unbeaten Teofilo for some time now and he couldn't have been more visually impressive.”

Naval Power, who becomes the 110th stakes scorer for his sire (by Galileo {Ire}), is the fourth of five foals and one of three winners for Emirates Rewards (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), herself a multiple-winning daughter of GI Spinster S. heroine Asi Siempre (El Prado {Ire}). Asi Siempre also threw GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf-winning sire Outstrip (GB) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}) and is kin to the dam of Listed Grand Handicap de Deauville victrix Dubase (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) and the dual stakes-placed Avante (GB) (Shamardal). Naval Power's G3 Cherry Hinton S.-winning fourth dam Turkish Treasure (Sir Ivor) has three stakes winners to her credit headed by G2 Norfolk S. winner Magic Mirror (GB) (Nureyev). Emirates Rewards has a yearling filly by Harry Angel (Ire) to come.

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).

New Rising Star For Teofilo

On a day when there was a lurch in the Derby market, there was enough intrigue and substance in Nottingham's Visit racingtv.com Novice S. to make it a mini-Classic trial and enough in the performance of the Simon and Ed Crisford-trained West Wind Blows (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) to earn TDN Rising Star status. Carrying a seven-pound penalty for his debut score over this 10-furlong trip on Newcastle's Tapeta after Christmas, Abdulla Al Mansoori's son of the G1 Prix de Diane heroine West Wind (GB) (Machiavellian) from the family of Coroebus (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) soon wrested control on the front end from Return To Dubai (Ire) (Ribchester {Ire}) under forcing tactics from Jack Mitchell. Powerful throughout, the hooded bay who started at 17-2 lugged towards the rail when the result was already settled inside the final furlong but hit the line strong in a smart time to record a five-length success from that Saeed bin Suroor trainee. There was another 1 3/4-length margin back to the Gosdens' Franz Strauss (GB) (Golden Horn {GB}) in third, with that G3 Sandown Classic Trial fourth getting seven pounds from the impressive winner.

Prior to Friday's demolition job, the wilful West Wind Blows had been 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. Godolphin's Walk of Stars (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) won that and runs in Saturday's Listed Lingfield Derby Trial, but West Wind Blows also holds an entry in the June 4 G1 Cazoo Derby and his rider was not pouring cold water on the idea of his mount taking up the option. “I don't see why not,” Mitchell said. “The Derby is quite wide open this year and he's done everything right. I think he'll get a mile and a half–he just needs to cool down a bit in his head but he's a horse going places. That felt very good–coming to a novice with a penalty is hard enough, but Simon and Ed always said how nice he is. He's a typical Teofilo and is a bit quirky, but he's got talent. There was some good form in that race.”

As mentioned, the winner is the eighth foal out of the 2007 Diane heroine whose sole black-type performer to date is 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) has emerged as one of Godolphin's most distinguished producers. She is responsible for six black-type scorers including the four-times group 1 and grade I-winning 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 provided the latest major update to the family on Saturday. This is a dynasty steeped in Godolphin success, with Red Slippers being a half-sister to the G1 Irish Derby and G1 Epsom Oaks heroine Balanchine (Storm Bird). Under the third dam Morning Devotion (Affirmed) is 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 second TDN Rising Star for his sire after the recent splash made by Wexford Native (Ire).
