New winners

Bolt D’Oro – Bolted In (2 g ex Fonteyne Lane, by Mint Lane) became the third individual southern hemisphere-bred winner for his former shuttle sire Bolt D’Oro (Medaglia D’Oro) when winning on debut in a two-year-old plate over 1200 metres at Balaklava. Trained by Murray Bridge-based handler Matthew Seyers, Bolted In won by a neck ahead of Even Sharper (More Than Ready), one of four contenders in the race for Leon Macdonald and Andrew Gluyas. A $40,000 buy for his trainer from the Willow Grove Stud draft at the Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling Sale, Bolted In is the first winner out of Fonteyne Lane, herself a half-sister to Listed winner Bacchanal Woman (Encosta De Lago). Bolt D’Oro, who has had eight runners in Australia, now stands permanently at Spendthrift Farm in Kentucky, for a fee in the 2023 season of US$35,000 (approx. AU$51,819). 

Brave Smash (pictured above) – Yarraman Park’s new recruit Brave Smash (Tosen Phantom) continued his late season charge of winners when Yamabushi (2 g ex Unswerving by Commands) became the stallion’s eighth individual first-crop winner when scoring at Tuncurry. The Kris Lees-trained gelding finished half-length ahead of three-year-old filly Bubbles For Me (Sebring), with the pair drawing two and a half lengths clear of the remaining field. Passed in at last year’s Inglis Classic Yearling Sale, Yamabushi is raced by an Australian Bloodstock syndicate. He is one of eight winners from nine runners out of Commands (Danehill) mare Unswerving. Brave Smash, who has had 22 starters, will stand the upcoming breeding season for a fee of $33,000 (inc GST).

Omaha Beach – Former Spendthrift Farm shuttler Omaha Beach (War Front) chalked up his first winner as a stallion when the Tom Morley-trained Cynane (2 f ex Burning Arch by Arch) shed her maiden tag at the first time of asking at Belmont. The two-year-old filly scooted clear to beat Sam’s Treasure (Munnings) by two and three-quarter lengths, while Marco T (Kantharos) was a further seven and a half lengths away in third. Omaha Beach has been represented by one other runner. The stallion shuttled to the now defunct Spendthrift Farm in Australia in 2020 and 2021, where he covered 209 mares at a fee of $22,000 (inc GST).

New Group / Grade 1 winners

Dundeel – Dundeel (High Chaparral) sired his seventh individual Group 1 winner and second this season when Dunkel (3 g ex Kudamm by Cape Cross) claimed the South Australian Derby (Gr 1, 2500m) at Morphettville. Trained by Patrick Payne, Dunkel defeated race favourite Promises Kept (Cluster) by three-quarters of a length, with Aberfledie Boy (So You Think) finishing a further two and a half lengths back in third. A $40,000 yearling when purchased from the Pencarrow Stud draft by Steven Ramsey, Dunkel was traded through the Ohukia Lodge draft as a two-year-old, fetching $100,000 at the New Zealand Bloodstock Ready to Run sale to the bid of Kevin Myers on behalf of Payne. Arrowfield Stud resident Dundeel, the sire of this season’s dual juvenile Group 1 winner Militarize, will stand for an increased fee of $82,500 (inc GST) in 2023. He has had 431 individual runners for 259 winners.

Frankel – Jannah Rose (3 f ex Sophie Germain by Indian Ridge) became the 27th individual Group 1 winner for Juddmonte Farms stallion Frankel (Galileo) when she readily scored in the Prix Saint-Alary (Gr 1, 2000m) at Longchamp. Ridden by Christophe Soumillon for trainer Carlos Laffon-Parias, the three-year-old filly travelled ominously well heading into the closing stages and quickened nicely to lead inside the final furlong before being pushed out to defeat Elusive Princess (Martinborough) by three-quarters of a length, with a further short-head back to Crown Princesse (Zarak) in third. A €650,000 purchase for owner Al Shira’aa Farms at the 2021 Goffs Orby Yearlings Sale, Jannah Rose is the fifth foal out of the unraced Indian Ridge (Ahonoora) mare Sophie Germain and is closely related to Group 2 scorer Creggs Pipes (Rip Van Winkle) and a half-sister to stakes-placed winner Silver Spear (Clodovil).

Muhaarar – Marhaba Ya Sanafi (3 c ex Danega by Galileo) ran out a shock 26-1 winner of the Poule d’Essai des Poulains (Gr 1, 1600m) at Longchamp, providing his sire Muhaarar (Oasis Dream) with a second elite-level winner. Also providing the Haras des Faunes stallion with a 22nd individual stakes scorer, the Andreas Schütz-trained colt was one of the first to come off the bridle rounding the home bend, but stuck to his task gamely to deny the Brian Meehan-trained raider Isaac Shelby (Night Of Thunder) by a neck at the line with a further two lengths back to the third-placed Breizh Sky (Pedro The Great). The Yann Barberot-trained American Flag (Wootton Bassett), who was sent off the odds-on favourite following his two and a half length defeat of Marhaba Ya Sanifa in the Prix de Fontainebleau (Gr 3, 1600m) last month, finished fourth, beaten two and a half lengths by the winner. Marhaba Ya Sanafi, now a best-priced 10-1 for the Prix du Jockey Club (Gr 1, 2100m), is the fourth foal out of the Galileo (Sadler’s Wells) mare Danega, making him a half-brother to winner Mofridge (Iffraaj).

Out of the stakes-placed winning Elusive Quality (Gone West) mare Vicarious Won, Anarchist is a half-brother to winners Dawn Lightning (The Factor), Union Rally (Union Rags) and Greener Pastures (Lea).

Dubawi – San Antonio (3 c ex Rain Goddess by Galileo) became the 254th individual stakes winner for Darley’s flagship stallion Dubawi (Dubai Millennium) when scoring in the Dee Stakes (Listed, 1m 2.5f) at Chester. Providing his trainer Aidan O’Brien with a tenth success in the contest, the Ballydoyle colt was always handy under Ryan Moore and, after taking up the outright lead with two furlongs to go, had enough in hand to hold the late challenging favourite Alder (Australia) to win by one and three-quarter lengths. Local Dynasty (Dubawi) finished a further two and a quarter lengths behind in third. A half-brother to winner Maffeo Barberini (Caravaggio), San Antonio is the second foal out of the Group 3 winner and Irish Oaks (Gr 1, 1m 4f) runner-up Rain Goddess (Galileo), herself a granddaughter of English 1,000 Guineas (Gr 1, 1m) heroine Virginia Waters (Kingmambo).

The colt was a $320,000 yearling buy from the Eureka draft at last year’s Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale. Encryption, who is the sire of two individual first-crop winners from 14 starters, will stand the 2023 breeding season for an unchanged fee of $13,200 (inc GST).

Frankel – Galileo’s son Frankel moved on to individual stakes winner number 115 as he sired a stakes double last week, beginning when his son Arrest (3 c ex Nisriyna by Intikhab) won the Chester Vase (Gr 3, 1m 4.5f). Owned by Juddmonte Farms, where Frankel stands, Arrest won by six and a half lengths ahead of Adelaide River (Australia) and Hadrianus (Galileo), who finished a further ten lengths back in third.

Frankel also looks to have a serious contender for Epsom Derby honours in the shape of Military Order (3 c ex Anna Salai by Dubawi) who provided him with his 115th individual stakes winner when landing the Derby Trial (Listed, 1m 4f) at Lingfield. The Charlie Appleby-trained colt backed up his return win at Newbury with a length-and-a-quarter victory over Waipiro (Australia), the front two pulling more than four lengths clear of the remainder, who were led home by Circle Of Fire (Almanzor). A homebred for Godolphin, Military Order is out of the Dubawi mare Anna Salai, making him a brother to, among others, Adayar, who finished second in the corresponding race two years ago before going on to taste Classic success at Epsom.
