Aclaim’s First Winner Earns Rising Star Stripes At Newmarket

Progeny of The National Stud's freshman sire Aclaim (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}) had yet to post a breakthrough score, but that statistic was cast aside as Highclere Thoroughbred Racing's Cachet (Ire) powered to a taking debut success over six furlongs in Saturday's Betway British EBF Fillies' Novice S. at Newmarket. Breaking sharply to occupy a forward slot in second through the initial fractions, the 4-1 chance cruised to the front hard on the steel approaching the final quarter mile and powered ever clear, under minimal urging, up the hill to easily outclass Godolphin's Before Dawn (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) by an impressive 5 1/2 lengths.

“She is a lovely, big, scopey filly and her work has been good,” said trainer George Boughey. “She has been working away with other winners and older horses that have been running well. This doesn't come as huge surprise as she is a filly that is quite near the top of the pile at the moment. We will speak to Harry [Herbert], but she looks like the type of filly for the [June 18 G3] Albany [at Royal Ascot]. She came from the Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Up sale and if she wins at Royal Ascot there is a £125,000 bonus. She has got a very good mind and we have done plenty of work with her, but we've only had her a few weeks.”

Cachet, a first winner for Aclaim (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}), also becomes the first winner for her dam Poyle Sophie (GB) (Teofilo {Ire}), herself a half-sister to the dam of GIII San Francisco Mile victor Whisper Not (GB) (Poet's Voice {GB}). Her third dam Poyle Fizz (GB) (Damister) is responsible for G2 Lowther S. victrix Jemima (GB) (Owington {GB}), who in turn is the dam of three stakes performers headed by multiple stakes scorer English Colony (GB) (Rock of Gibraltar {Ire}). From a family featuring G2 Haydock Sprint Cup-winning sire Runnett (GB) (Mummy's Pet {GB}), Cachet is half to a yearling filly by Kuroshio (Aus).

2020 E2SE Course Graduates at The National Stud

The 2020 TBA Entry to Stud Employment graduation ceremony took place via live stream from the Joan Westbrook Lecture Theatre on Dec. 18. The TBA Education and Employment Committee Chairman Sam Bullard presented the certificates, with the award for the Most Outstanding Student given to Sam Malone, 24, from York. Malone will join the team at Cheveley Park Stud for his placement in the new year. All graduates completed the nine-week training phase with certificates in the Principles of Horse Care, Transporting Horses and Manual Handling. They will next complete their Level 2 Diploma whilst on work placements in the new year.

Fully funded by the Thoroughbred Breeders Association and the Racing Foundation, the E2SE course started in 2018 and provides practical work-based training for individuals who wish to pursue a career in the Thoroughbred industry, but are lacking relevant experience. Once the course is completed, students who have achieved the required standard will have an interview for a minimum six to nine months paid position at a UK Thoroughbred stud farm.

“As we all know it has been a difficult year and so we are especially proud of these students and all they have achieved in nine short weeks,” said Fiona Dowling, Education Manager. “The majority had never worked with horses before coming to The National Stud and the level of improvement is just incredible. We are very excited to follow their careers and see them make a valuable contribution to the industry in the future.”
