Brian The Snail heads to Sandy Lane
Three-year-old colt Brian The Snail steps up to G2 level for the Sandy Lane Stakes (15.30hrs local time) at Haydock Park, UK, on Saturday, May 27.
The Richard Fahey-trained sprinter returns to six furlongs after coming home last of five over a furlong shorter in the Listed Westow Stakes at York on May 18.
He was unbeaten on his first three starts, winning twice over five furlongs as a two-year-old and enjoying an easy victory on his first appearance of 2017 in a six-furlong handicap at Pontefract on April 11.
Tony Hamilton takes the ride on Brian The Snail, who tackles six other three-year-olds from stall seven, including G2 winner Harry Angel and Mubtasim, who were second and third behind Blue Point in the G3 Pavilion Stakes at Ascot earlier this month.
Richard Fahey commented: “Brian The Snail was extremely disappointing at York, but seemed fine after the race.
“William Buick was adamant that it was the ground – Brian The Snail won on soft at Catterick last year but it was a better class of race at York, so possibly the going was a factor.
“He scoped clean, trotted out sound and has been in good form since, so we will see what happens on Saturday.”

Listed Win For Frankel and Midday’s Mori
| 5th at GWD, Lst Stk, 40000 | Listed Markel Height of Fashion S. | (9f 197y) | Winner: Mori (GB), f, 3 by Frankel (GB) |

By Tom Frary
Following an encouraging debut fifth behind Gracious Diana (GB) (Foxwedge {Aus}) over 10 furlongs at Newbury Apr. 21 with a maiden win at that trip at Ascot May 12, Mori took another step up the ladder at this track at which her dam excelled when winning three renewals of the G1 Nassau S. Taking a tow from Coconut Creme early, the bay began to assert her superiority over that rival passing the quarter pole and stayed on to book a ticket to Royal Ascot. “She is bred to win at Goodwood, as her father won two Sussex Stakes and her mother won three Nassaus,” Juddmonte’s racing manager Teddy Grimthorpe commented. “If we were ever to breed a winner for Goodwood, this is the one. When she won at Ascot, she was doing her best work in the last furlong and really today it was pretty much the same thing. I think all being well we will head to Royal Ascot for the [G2] Ribblesdale [S. June 22] and take it from there. On that, you’d be pretty confident she’d have no problems getting a mile and a half. She was green first time out at Newbury, and it was a learning curve at Ascot, but she was quite professional today. She was really well balanced and relaxed.”
Midday was one of the late Sir Henry Cecil’s great stories during the late section of his training career, as although she was overshadowed by Frankel’s incredible run of barnstorming successes during her last season in 2011 she was a consistent siphon of group 1 glory. Alongside her three Nassaus, she also took the G1 Yorkshire Oaks, G1 Prix Vermeille and GI Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf and it is interesting that her first two foals have won black-type. Days after her G3 Sandown Classic Trial-winning half-brother Midterm proved a touch disappointing in the G3 Aston Park S., Mori smoothed out that bump in the road for her dam here. As Midday’s half-brother Midsummer Sun (GB) (Monsun {Ger}) stayed at least a mile and a half and her more speedily-bred half-sister Hot Snap (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) was third in the Nassau herself, there is every chance that Mori will stay at least 12 furlongs with the most recent evidence of the Frankels being that they are seeing out middle distances well. This is also the family of the G1 Epsom Oaks heroine Reams of Verse (Nureyev). Midday’s 2-year-old colt and yearling filly are also by Frankel with the former named Midi (GB), while her foal is full to Midterm.

New Approach Colt a New Rising Star For Godolphin

3rd Dam: Melikah (Ire), by Lammtarra
The second foal and first to race out of the G2 UAE Derby heroine Khawlah, Masar was sent off the 5-2 favourite but William Buick was in no hurry and allowed him to languish in rear early. Needing a run passing the quarter pole, the homebred found a gap between rivals in time to collar Invincible Army (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), a son of the G1 Falmouth S. scorer Rajeem (GB) (Diktat {GB}), in the final yards and register a cosy short-head success. Assistant trainer James Ferguson said, “He did it the right way, as he learnt a lot during the race. As you can see by his breeding and the way he won, he wants further. William Buick said he was very happy with him. To be honest, with a horse like that, you would look at Royal Ascot. He is qualified to run in the [Listed] Chesham [S. June 24] and if we are going to send him there, that would be the one to go for. We do like him and I think he has got a lot of class.” Khawlah proved herself a class act in Dubai, winning the G3 UAE Oaks with such ease she was allowed to take on the colts in the Derby and duly headed off the talented pair of Master of Hounds (Kingmambo) and Mahbooba (Aus) (Galileo {Ire}). Very disappointing on turf thereafter, her first foal arrived in 2014 but the filly Tomouh (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) has yet to make an appearance, while she has a yearling colt by Shamardal. Her half-brother Vancouverite (GB) (Dansili {GB}) proved another smart performer in these silks, winning the G2 Prix Guillaume d’Ornano and finishing runner-up in the G1 Jebel Hatta and they are out of the Listed Pretty Polly S. scorer Melikah who was placed in both the G1 English and Irish Oaks. Out of Urban Sea (Miswaki), she is the dam of three significant runners in the royal blue in recent times in Masterstroke (Monsun {Ger}), successful in the G2 Grand Prix de Deauville and third in the G1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, the G2 Lonsdale Cup third Hidden Gold (Ire) (Shamardal) and Moonlight Magic (GB) (Cape Cross {Ire}) who captured the G3 DerrinstownStud Derby Trial and was third in the G2 Prix Daniel Wildenstein. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $8,392.

GIOVEDÌ 25 MAGGIO 2017. Milano, verso le Oaks d’Italia: dall’estero solo #Windjammer di Andreas Wohler. Ricorso accettato per La Gommeuse..
Nella giornata di giovedì, alle 12, non sono arrivate supplementazioni per le Oaks G2 d’Italia in programma domenica 28 a Milano. Tutto dunque procede come da indicazioni di inizio settimana, e cioè quelle che probabilmente non avremo grande partecipazione internazionale nemmeno per la Classica in rosa. L’unica straniera che sarà presente è tedesca, e si tratta di Windjammer (Campanologist), una cavalla di proprietà di John M.B. O’Connor (giubba rossa e bianca), allenata da Andreas Wöhler.
La femmina è iscritta anche nel 159. Henkel-Preis der Diana – German Oaks del 6 Agosto a Düsseldorf, ma prima di puntare a quella mirerà basso da noi. Si tratta di una cavalla ancora maiden che ha debuttato ad Agosto con un secondo posto sui 1400 metri dietro Qool (la figlia di Quiza Quiza Quiza), replicato in Settembre ancora ad Hannover sul miglio finendo forte allo steccato opposto (VIDEO QUI) ed ha chiuso la stagione con un ottavo posto nel Preis der Winterkönigin sul miglio. Nel 2017 è rientrata con un secondo posto ancora ad Hannover nel Preis der VGH Vertretung Siegfried Herz e.K., Emmerthal sui più graditi 2200 metri, al primo tentativo sulla distanza dietro a Gaea (Holy Roman Emperor) con in sella Miki Cadeddu.
Delle italiane ancora non si sa moltissimo, ma qualcosa ovviamente si.
Le apparenze sono quelle di una stagione nella quale non abbiamo visto probabili campionesse, a parte Mi Raccomando (Poet’s Voice), la vincitrice del Regina Elena G3 che dovrebbe essere della contesa per mantenere la trazione Effevi nella corsa. Ci sarà La Gommeuse (Zamindar), per la quale il TAR ha accettato il ricorso da parte della Il Cavallo In Testa dopo una positività ad un antinfiammatorio riscontrata a fine Marzo, al debutto. Altre conferme arrivano da Roma con la presenza di Morigane Forlonge (American Post) e quella di Lunastorta (Brilliant Speed) per Agostino Affè. Da Cenaia sicuramente anche Paiardina (Casamento), neo acquisto di Takaia Shimakawa vincitore del Derby la scorsa settimana con Mac Mahon. Sicuramente ci sarà per Raffaele Biondi anche Stamp Collecting (Casamento), piazzata del Regina Elena G3, mentre la Rencati per i Botti ha dentro ancora Folega (Oasis Dream), Sunchisetagioo (Exceed And Excel) e Mooves (Cape Cross). Almeno con una correrà, se non tutte e tre. Della partita sarà anche Great Aventura (Clodovil), per i colori di Paolo Zambelli. Venerdì mattina alle 9,00 la dichiarazione dei partenti con chiusura alle 9,30.
Nel Vittadini ci saranno i soliti noti meno, rispetto al solito, Kaspersky (Footstepsinthesand) che era tra i rimasti del Matchbook Betting Exchange Festival Stakes di Goodwood ma alla fine della fiera non è stato dichiarato partente.
LA LISTA DELLE RIMASTE DOPO IL SECONDO FORFAIT DELLE OAKS D’ITALIA QUI.
PUBBLICATO DA GABRIELE CANDI A GIOVEDÌ, MAGGIO 25, 2017
MERCOLEDÌ 24 MAGGIO 2017. #Inghilterra #Epsom #Derby: Ecco chi sono i 26 rimasti al recente forfait per la Classica del 3 Giugno ad Epsom Downs
Sabato 3 Giugno è in programma il Derby di Epsom G1, ci avviciniamo all’evento con la news dell’ultimo forfait prodotto dal quale è emerso come ci siano 26 rimasti alla prova da £1.5 milioni. Aidan O’Brien, che cerca la sesta vittoria nella corsa, ha ancora 9 iscritti tra cui il vincitore delle 2000 Ghinee Churchill(Galileo). O’Brien allena anche Cliffs Of Moher (Galileo), vincitore delle Dee Stakes ed attuale favorito in antepost, poi i primi 3 del Derby Trial Douglas Macarthur (Galileo), Yucatan (Galileo) e Capri (Galileo), poi Venice Beach (Galileo), Wings Of Eagles (Pour Moi) e The Anvil(Galileo) e Finn McCool (Galileo) che completa il contingente di Ballydoyle. Figlio Joseph, che ha partecipato alle vittorie di Epsom con suo padre a bordo di Camelot (2012) ed Australia (2014), potrebbe sellare Rekindling (High Chaparral) vincitore delle Ballysax Stakes G3 e poi quarto nelle Dante Stakes G2 di York la scorsa settimana.
John Gosden, alla ricerca della terza vittoria nel Derby ha un quartetto formato dall’imbattuto Cracksman (Frankel), che ha testato il tracciato di Epsom lo scorso mese vincendo il Derby Trial nei confronti di Permian (Teofilo), vincitore appunto delle Dante con forma boostata da quest’ultimo in chiave Derby. Gosden ha dentro anche Glencadam Glory (Nathaniel), il recente ed impressionante Crowned Eagle (Oasis Dream) in handicap, e poi Pealer (Campanologist) vincitore di 19 lunghezze a Southwell.
Francia: #Terrakova vince al rientro nel Cleopatre. La figlia di Goldikova è imbattuta in 2 uscite e punta al Diane
Martedì pomeriggio in Francia un convegno molto interessante a Saint Cloud. Su tutti il Prix Cleopatre G3 sui 2100 metri in ottica Prix de Diane, vinto dall’affascinantissima Terrakova. Si tratta di una figlia di Galileo e della campionessa Goldikova (Anabaa) che ha approfittato di un varco che le si è aperto a 200 dal palo, anche se dopo aver faticato a prendere l’azione giusta, ma alla fine ha prodotto un buon cambio di marcia utile a superare Terre (Motivator), la sorella piena di Treve, in una corsa con scarsa andatura. Alla fine al secondo posto si è piazzata Panthelia (Gentlewave) con al terzo Penny Lane (Lord Of England). Terrakova aveva debuttato a 2 anni a Chantilly vincendo una maiden sui 1800 metri. Rientrata nel Cleopatre, è imbattuta in 2 uscite. La cavalla allenata da Freddy Head ha iscrizioni nel Prix de Diane e nel Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. Allevata dalla famiglia Wetheimer and Frere, è il secondo prodotto della campionessa Goldikova (Anabaa), vincitrice di 14 G1. IL VIDEO DEL PRIX CLEOPATRE QUI.
Nel resto della giornata nel Prix Corrida G2 per anziane, è stata vinta dalla Andre Fabre Armande (Sea The Stars), una 4 anni che ha fornito una buona progressione per battere That Which Is Not (Elusive Quality) ed Haggle (Pivotal). Per Armande è la prima vittoria in G3, dopo i numerosi piazzamenti in Pattern. Allevata da Petra Bloodstock e Ecurie de Meautry, nelle sue vene scorre il sangue di Urban Sea (Miswaki), tramite varie diramazioni, madre di Sea The Stars stesso e Galileo.

First Stakes Winner For Havana Gold At Sandown

Havana Grey | Racing Post
By Sean Cronin
Havana Grey, who was an Apr. 22 debut second going five panels at Nottingham, broke through over the same trip at Ayr last time and continued on the upgrade with a career high in this black-type bow. Making full use of his rail draw to assert for the lead after a mainly level break, he held sway throughout and kept on strongly under late urging to comfortably hold the late bids of Frozen Angel and Haddaf.
Havana Grey, full-brother to a yearling colt, is the first stakes scorer for his Tweenhills Stud-based freshman sire (by Teofilo {Ire}) and was produced by a winning half-sister to G3 Molecomb S. runner-up Fast Act (Ire) (Fast Company {Ire}). He hails from a family which includes G1 Irish 1000 Guineas victress and G1 1000 Guineas runner-up Al Bahathri (Blushing Groom {Fr}), herself the dam of five black-type performers headed by G1 2000 Guineas-winning sire Haafhd (GB) (Alhaarth {Ire}) and G1 Coronation S. runner-up Hasbah (Ire) (Kris {GB}).
