Irish highweight Magician (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}– Absolutelyfabulous {Ire}, by Mozart {Ire}) will stand in Italy next season, Jour de Galop reported on Tuesday. A two-time champion in Ireland for Coolmore partners and Aidan O’Brien, the 2013 G1 Irish 2000 Guineas and GI Breeders’ Cup Turf hero spent the better part of four seasons at Coolmore’s Ashford Stud in America (2015-2018) and stood the end of the 2018 season at Coolmore Stud in Ireland. The sire of US black-type winner Miss My Rose, the 10-year-old moved to Haras de Corlay in France for 2019 and this year. The bay, whose oldest offspring are four, will be managed by a partnership of Mattia Cadrobbi, Marco Bozzi and Guido Berardelli. A fee and stud farm will be announced later.

Khalifa Sat Gordon-Bound

Ahmad Al Shaikh’s Khalifa Sat (Ire) (Free Eagle {Ire}), the 50-1 runner-up in the G1 Investec Derby, will target the G3 Gordon S. at Goodwood on July 30, should he come through a work later this week in good order. Khalifa Sat had earmarked himself as a potential talent when winning the Listed Cocked Hat S. also at Goodwood in June, and cemented that status in the Derby.

“There’s a possibility he could run in the Gordon S. at Goodwood next week, depending on how he comes through a bit of work later in the week,” said trainer Andrew Balding. “He’s well, and the Gordon S. would be the intention. He’s just a lovely horse to have in the yard.”

Khalifa Sat isn’t the only big-name runner Balding will have at Goodwood, and the trainer reported G1 2000 Guineas winner Kameko (Kitten’s Joy) will also work later this week ahead of the July 29 G1 Sussex S.

“He’s good, he’ll do a bit of work later in the week–and if all is well after that, it’s all systems go for next week,” Balding said. “It does look a very good race–but it should be, because it is the Sussex S. It will be fascinating to see him take on Siskin, Circus Maximus and Marcus [Tregoning’s] horse [Mohaather]–and I’m sure there will be one or two others too. It looks like being a great race.”
