Teofilo’s Wexford Native A New Rising Star At Navan

One of only two unraced 3-year-old colts still holding a 2000 Guineas entry, Jim Bolger's homebred Wexford Native (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) demonstrated why with a taking success at Navan on Tuesday to earn TDN Rising Star status. Drawn widest in 21, the 5-1 shot was keen for Kevin Manning tracking over to eventually shadow Ballydoyle's forward-ridden Sun King (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). As that 7-4 favourite turned the screw in the straight, Wexford Native kept tabs and after edging ahead two out strode out impressively to beat that rival by 2 1/2 lengths. In a maiden with smart formlines, there was another 2 3/4-length margin back to Ceallach (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) in third.

Manning was taken by Bolger's first winner of the new season. “It was a tough call to overcome being drawn 21 and get across. I think he has got a big future,” he said. “He was always travelling and getting a tow. When I went to the front, he was just having a look and when I joined Ryan he was just running away a bit from him. He was just very, very green. He has been showing us some nice work at home and he was last year as well, but he was just a big backward horse. I think a mile to a mile and a quarter, he's pretty versatile because he showed plenty of pace to get across from 21.”

Wexford Native's unraced dam Yes Oh Yes (Gone West), who was a $250,000 purchase at the 2008 Keeneland September Sale, is a half to the G3 Derrinstown Stud 1000 Guineas Trial runner-up and stakes producer Aaroness (Distorted Humor) and to the GIII Boiling Springs S. runner-up Sumba Sunset (Street Cry {Ire}). Under the similarly unraced third dam Lady Lady (Little Current) are a clutch of stakes winners including Grace and Power (More Than Ready), who was runner-up in the GI Hollywood Starlet S. She in turn produced the G1 Darley Classic hero Delectation (Aus) (Shamardal) and is also the second dam of last year's G1 Blue Diamond S. hero Artorius (Aus) (Flying Artie {Aus}) who is bound for Royal Ascot in June. Yes Oh Yes also has a yearling colt by Dawn Approach (Ire).

Subjectivist to Remain on Sidelines Until 2023

Group 1 winner Subjectivist (GB) (Teofilo {Ire}), who had been aiming to defend his title in the G1 Gold Cup at Royal Ascot in June, will remain benched for 2022, but could still make a comeback in 2023, according to co-trainer Charlie Johnston. The news was first reported by Racing Post.

“We felt that to be ready in time for Ascot he'd have to go back into work now and as it's really only eight months since the injury was sustained-we don't feel it's quite long enough,” said Johnston. “We've taken the difficult decision to write this year off. He's very well in himself, but we want to give the injury the best chance of withstanding training when he comes back into full work. The longer he has off the better chance we stand, so we've had to weigh that up.

“It's very tough to leave your best horse on the sidelines for the season and we just hope we can make up for lost time in 2023.”

A winner of the G1 Prix Royal-Oak when signing off in 2020, the bay took the G2 Dubai Gold Cup on Dubai World Cup night last year by 5 3/4 lengths prior to a five-length domination in the Gold Cup on June 17. The Dr. Jim Walker runner sustained an injury to his right foreleg in July of 2021, and has not been in action since.

“We'll probably aim towards Saudi Arabia this time next year and lead into Dubai and Ascot again,” added Johnston. “He's been swimming and on the water walker for six months now and he'll continue his current regime for the next couple of months before being turned out for the summer.”

Dubawi Anchors Darley Europe Roster at £250,000

Dubawi (Ire) (Dubai Millennium {GB}) will stand for an unchanged fee of £250,000 at Dalham Hall Stud and anchors the 2022 roster for Darley Europe. His fee is the most expensive in Europe.

He enjoyed a notable success at the two-day Breeders' Cup World Championships, with three winners in a single year, the first sire to reach that mark in the 37-year history of the Breeders' Cup. The GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf went to Modern Games (Ire), Saturday's GI Breeders' Cup Mile was won by new Kildangan Stud resident Space Blues (Ire) and Dubawi's trio was rounded out by the victory of Yibir (GB) in the GI Breeders' Cup Turf. In addition, Dubawi is the world's leading sire of group winners with 23 and stakes winners at 37.

A trio of new stallions will join the Darley Europe roster in 2022, with Palace Pier (GB) (Kingman {GB}) leading the way at £55,000 at Dalham Hall. One of the most brilliant milers seen in recent years with five Group 1 victories to his name, the son of Kingman won the G1 St. James's Palace S. at Royal Ascot in 2020 and later scored a victory in the G1 Prix Jacques le Marois. Kept in training in 2021, he added another trio of top-flight races-the G1 Lockinge S. at Sandown, Royal Ascot's G1 Queen Anne S. and a second edition of the Marois. The ultra-consistent bay retires with nine wins in 11 starts and $2,408,980 in earnings, rounded out by a neck second in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. on QIPCO British Champions Day.

Making his debut at Kildangan Stud is Space Blues, fresh off his Breeders' Cup Mile win. Priced at €17,500, the son of Miss Lucifer (Fr) (Noverre) captured the G1 Prix Maurice de Gheest in 2020 and also added the G1 Prix de la Foret prior to his Mile tally. He retires with a mark of 19-11-3-1 and $2,585,725 in earnings.

Undefeated as a juvenile including in the G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere, Victor Ludorum (GB) (Shamardal) progressed to take the G1 French 2000 Guineas at three. Out of Antiquities (GB) (Kaldounevees {Fr}), his fee will be €15,000 at Haras du Logis. He also took the G3 Prix Messidor as a 4-year-old and brings a mark of 14-5-0-5 and $864,838 to stud.

Dubawi's son Night of Thunder (Ire) sired a pair of Group 1 winners in 2021 and he will command €75,000, tops of the Kildangan Stud roster. Thundering Nights (Ire) won the GI Pretty Polly S., while Kukeracha (NZ) was in action Down Under in the G1 Queensland Derby. They are two of 12 2021 black-type winners for their sire, who also sired four other group winners this year, among them Suesa (Ire) and GIII Athenia S. winner Pocket Square (GB).

Standing at £45,000 in 2022 is Too Darn Hot (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) at Dalham Hall. Flawless in a juvenile campaign that culminated in a victory in the G1 Dewhurst S., the bay backed up that form with another pair of Group 1 wins as a 3-year-old in the G1 Prix Jean Prat and G1 Sussex S. The son of Dar Re Mi (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}) was also Classic placed with a runner-up performance in the G1 QIPCO 2000 Guineas.

Esteemed sprinter Blue Point (Ire) (Shamardal) will stand for €40,000 at Kildangan. A dual winner of the G1 King's Stand S., the bay also won the G1 Diamond Jubilee and G1 Al Quoz Sprint. Both Too Darn Hot and Blue Point will have their first yearlings in 2022.

Three-time Group 1 winner Pinatubo (Ire) (Shamardal) is expecting is first foals in 2022, and will stand for £35,000 at Dalham Hall. Also welcoming their first progeny in 2022 are the Kildangan duo of Ghaiyyath (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) at €25,000, a four-time top-level hero, and Earthlight (Ire) (Shamardal) at €18,000. The latter landed a pair of juvenile Group 1s in 2019-the Prix Morny and the Middle Park S.

Two stallions that celebrated black-type success with their first runners this season were Profitable (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) and Ribchester (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}). The Kildangan residents will each stand for €12,500. The only stallion to receive a fee increase across the entire roster, Profitable sired 25 winners this year so far, and already has a group winner with G2 Queen Mary S. victress Quick Suzy (Ire). Ribchester has Listed Doncaster S. winner Flaming Rib (Ire) to date.

Dalham stalwarts and Group 1 sires New Approach (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Iffraaj (GB) (Zafonic) are listed as private and £17,500, respectively. In Ireland, fellow Group 1 sire Teofilo (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) will command €30,000. See below for the full 2022 Darley Europe roster.

Sam Bullard, Director of Stallions, said, “We are thrilled to be introducing three outstanding multiple Group 1 winners to a very strong roster, deep on quality and achievement. Following last year's three champion additions in Ghaiyyath, Earthlight and Pinatubo together with Blue Point and Too Darn Hot in 2020, we are confident of giving breeders every chance of benefitting from the wonderfully positive sales season we have just enjoyed.”

Shadwell Heads Day 1 Action at Goffs Autumn

A quartet of homebred yearlings offered by Shadwell Estate's Derrinstown Stud led the way during the initial session of the Goffs Autumn Yearling Sale in Kildare Paddocks Tuesday. Responsible for all four yearlings on Day 1 of the two-day sale to top the six-figure mark, Derrinstown's roster was led by Lot 370, a colt by Dark Angel (Ire), who realized a €180,000 online bid from Adam Driver. Bred by Shadwell Estate Co., the Jan. 25 foal is the first foal out of Moghamarah (GB) (Dawn Approach), who finished second or better in all three career starts at two, including an impressive win at Gowran Park. Out of 2008 Champion juvenile filly in Ireland Shimah (Storm Cat), a listed winner and Group 1 placed from only four career starts, Moghamarah, who is also represented by a filly foal by Blue Point (Ire) and is currently in foal to Tamayuz, will sell later this month at the Goffs November Breeding Stock Sale.

In addition to signing for the day's top priced offering, Driver went to €155,000 for lot 348, a filly by Dark Angel. Produced by GSW and MG1SP Maqaasid (GB) (Green Desert), the Shadwell-bred filly is from the family of G1 1000 Guineas and G1 Coronation winner Ghanaati (Giant's Causeway). Maqaasid is also slated to sell at Goffs November.

Leading the fillies Tuesday, Lot 208 realized a €170,000 final bid from John Kilbride's Kilbride Equine. Also offered on behalf of Shadwell, the daughter of Shamardal is out of Elshaadin (GB) (Dalakhani {Ire}), who is also responsible for MGSP Khaloosy (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}). A half-sister to European champion 3-year-old (at 9.5-11f) Nathaniel (Ire) and Playful Act (Ire), 2004 English champion 2-year-old filly in addition to Group 1 winner Great Heavens, Elshaadin will be offered in foal to Too Darn Hot at the Tattersalls December Mares sale.

Rounding out Tuesday's top yearlings, lot 437, a colt by Teofilo (Ire), sold to Kerr & Co for €140,000. The Shadwell-bred is out of Group 3 scorer Rawaaq (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), who is also scheduled to sell in foal to Awtaad at Goffs November. This represents the extended family of European champion miler and sire Bahri.

At the conclusion of Day 1, turnover rose significantly to €3,151,500 with 213 sold (clearance rate 91%), well over 2020 figures when 102 head sold for €688,100 (clearance rate 61%) after the sale was conducted online due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
