Sea La Rosa To The Fore In The Royallieu

Diverted to ParisLongchamp's G1 Qatar Prix de Royallieu after a headline-heavy week, G1 Melbourne Cup victrix Verry Elleegant (NZ) (Zed {NZ}) was unable to land a telling blow and trailed home seventh behind Sunderland Holdings' Sea La Rosa (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}–Soho Rose {Ire}, by Hernando {Fr}), who added to her pattern-race tally with a career high in the 14-furlong distaffers' feature. The William Haggas trainee arrived at the Bois de Boulogne venue having annexed Goodwood's July 30 G2 Lillie Langtry S. and Deauville's Aug. 21 G2 Prix de Pomone and lobbed along in third until improving one spot at halfway. Launching her bid going well passing the quarter-mile marker, the 13-5 favourite was shaken up with 300 metres remaining and ridden out in the closing stages to assert by a length from Jannah Flower (Ire) (Olympic Glory {Ire}).

“She's been incredible this year, and the backend of last year, and just seems to be getting better with each run,” reflected rider Tom Marquand. “She's got the heart and the talent to see it through and to get a Group 1 on the board for Mrs [Ling] Tsui is amazing. I'm very privileged to be a small part of it. I wouldn't have a clue what the plans are and it doesn't look like she's done yet.”

Christopher Tsui added, “I'm delighted with this victory and also very moved by it. I recall those moments, almost 30 years ago, when I witnessed the success of Urban Sea in the Arc. This story began with her and, since then, it has snowballed via Sea The Stars and his daughters Sea Of Class and Sea La Rosa. Regarding the filly's next race, we will all get together and mull it over, but nothing is decided yet.”

Bred in France by Ecurie des Monceaux, Sea La Rosa is a full-sister to this term's G3 Bahrain Trophy winner Deauville Legend (Ire). She is also a kin to G3 Derrinstown Stud 1000 Guineas Trial second Dean Street Doll (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}) and a yearling filly by Golden Horn (GB). Her stakes-winning second dam Soho Rose (Ire) (Hernando {Fr}) is a full-sister to G2 Pretty Polly S. victrix and stakes producer Hanami (GB) and a half-sister to the stakes-winning Dubai Rose (GB) (Dubai Destination). The latter produced The Juliet Rose (Fr) (Monsun {Ger}), a dual winner of this contest when it held Group 2 status.

Awtaad’s Al Qareem All Heart In Paris

ParisLongchamp's mammoth Arc weekend opened with the G2 Qatar Prix Chaudenay, which went the way of Karl Burke trainee Al Qareem (Ire) (Awtaad {Ire}–Moqla {GB}, by Teofilo {Ire}) after a thrilling finale to the 15-furlong contest. The 3-year-old gelding, who had snagged handicaps at Nottingham and York earlier this term, was last seen finishing seventh in Goodwood's G3 Gordon S. and went postward as an 11-2 chance. Tracking the leader in second until taking over at the entrance to the straight, he was scrubbed along when tackled approaching the quarter-mile pole and stayed on in resolute fashion under a continued drive to deny Sober (Fr) (Camelot {GB}) by a nostril after a ding-dong tussle.

“He's been mega unlucky a few times this year and I'm so delighted to win a big one with him,” commented owner Nick Bradley. “It was my fault [when he was fourth in the G2 Queen's Vase] at [Royal] Ascot as I told Clifford [Lee] to make the running on him, but he just did too much and was too free. He was a bit unlucky at Newmarket [when second in the G3 Bahrain Trophy] and Goodwood didn't go to plan, but the form of that race is amazingly strong. I'll have a good look at the programme book, but he could go to Saudi Arabia and there's also the Gold Cup on Dubai World Cup night at Meydan.”

Al Qareem, half-brother to a yearling colt by Muhaarar (GB), is the second of three foals produced by an unraced half-sister to G3 Earl of Sefton S. victor Mahsoob (GB) (Dansili {Ire}) and becomes the third pattern-race winner for his sire (by Cape Cross {Ire}). His second dam is the multiple stakes-placed Mooakada (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}), herself a granddaughter of G3 Prestige S. victrix and G1 1000 Guineas third Bint Shadayid (Nashwan). The latter is one of two stakes winners bred from G1 1000 Guineas and G1 Prix Marcel Boussac heroine Shadayid (Shadeed), whose descendants also include GIII Thunder Road S. winner and GI Shoemaker Mile runner-up Farhaan (Jazil).

Former Grade 1-Winning Jockey Robbie Power Joins Tattersalls Ireland

Former G1 Cheltenham Gold Cup and G3 Grand National-winning jockey Robbie Power has been appointed to the Tattersalls Ireland Bloodstock Team, beginning on Monday, Oct. 3. He will assist Tattersalls Ireland with inspections, promotions, pre-sale and sales day matters. Originally from Co Meath, Power retired from the saddle earlier this year after riding 31 Grade 1 winners. Power rode predominantly for trainer Jessica Harrington.

Tattersalls Ireland CEO Simon Kerins said, “We are thrilled to welcome Robbie to the team at Tattersalls Ireland and his appointment comes at an opportune time as our Breeze-Up and Store Sales inspections commence in the New Year. Robbie's experience, horsemanship and passion for racing perfectly complements the current team and further strengthens our Irish inspection team of John O'Kelly, Jamie Codd, Timmy Hillman, Chris Farrell, Richard Pugh and Barry O'Neill.”

Power added, “It's a huge pleasure to be joining Tattersalls Ireland and I am really looking forward to this next chapter in my career. I have been coming to the sales at Tattersalls Ireland since a young age and it feels like I have come full circle to now be working alongside the team full-time. A key part of my role will be inspecting some of the best stock in Ireland, both Flat and National Hunt, and following them as they begin their careers on the racetracks which is hugely exciting.”
