Harry Tsang Cheung Hin secured the top lot of the Hong Kong International Sale, paying HK$5 million (AU$848,162) for Lot 14.

The chestnut Sebring colt, out of Listed winner Fashion (Ger) (Anabaa {USA}), was a $550,000 purchase by the Hong Kong Jockey Club from the Edinglassie Stud draft at the 2020 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale.

His half-brother Zoustyle won a Listed Gold Edition Plate for Tony Gollan, while the extended pedigree also includes European stakes winners Felina (Ger) (Acatenango {Ger}), Felicity (Ger) (Inchinor {GB}) and Felician (Ger) (Motivator {GB}).

Trainer Tony Cruz is confident of early progress from the imposing gelding.

“I think we will get results very quickly with this horse, he’s a good-looking horse,” he said.

Late Widden Stud sire Sebring has a strong profile in Hong Kong where he has had 27 winners including Group 1 winner Lucky Bubbles and Group 2 winner Aethero.

An Irish-bred son of Acclamation (GB) secured the Sale's second highest price with Peter Lau Pak-Fai paying HK$4.8 million (AU$814,236) for the gelding,

Initially a 300,000 gns (AU$576,450) purchase from the 2019 Tattersalls October Yearling Sale, he is out of Street Cry (Ire) mare Folk Melody (Ire), who has already produced two winners in Great Britain.

A Street Boss (USA) half-brother to two Australian stakes-performers, purchased for $140,000 by HKJC at the 2020 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, secured a successful HK$3.8 million (AU$644,603) bid from Ngai Hon Cheung.

Lot 20 is a half-brother to Can't Remember (Statue Of Liberty {USA}) and Head Noises (Sebring), with their grandam the champion American filly Sacahuista (USA) (Raja Baba {USA}), who is also the dam of influential stallions Hussonet (USA) and Ekraar (USA).

Erick Cheung Ka Shing also paid HK$3.8 million (AU$644,603) for Lot 13, a son of Mastercraftsman (Ire) from the family of G1 Golden Jubilee S. winner Solder's Tale (USA).

Lot 18, an Australian-bred gelding by Medaglia D'Oro (USA) out of Base Paradise (Choisir) initially purchased by the HKJC for $460,000 through the 2020 Inglis Melbourne Premier Sale, sold to Yeung Wah Keung for HK$3.5 million (AU$593,713).

He is a half-brother to both South African Grade 2 winner Brazuca (Teofilo {Ire}) and Australian Listed winner Mr Utopia (Elusive Quality {USA}).

The progeny of Medaglia D'Oro have risen to prominence in Hong Kong thanks largely to three-time Group 1 winner Golden Sixty, one of his 12 winners in Hong Kong.

The top-priced New Zealand-bred purchase was Lot 22, a gelding by Ocean Park (NZ), who was bought for HK$3.2 million (AU$542,824) to Cheng Chung Wuh.

He is a half-brother to G1 New Zealand Oaks winner Savvy Coup (NZ) (Savabeel) from the extended family of multiple Group 1 winner Probabeel (NZ) (Savabeel).

He was initially a NZ$220,000 purchase from the 2019 New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale.

Securing an even HK$3 million (AU$508,897) was Lot 4, an Australian-bred I Am Invincible gelding, with Liu Jing the successful bidder.

The gelding is out of Invested Capital (GB) (Zamindar {USA}), who is a half-sister to the dam of G1 South Australian Derby winner Leicester (Wanted), who has raced with success in Hong Kong as Helene Leadingstar.

I Am Invincible has 18 winners in Hong Kong, including Group 2 winner Wishful Thinker.

William Nader, the Hong Kong Jockey Club’s Director of Racing Business and Operations, said: “I thought the horses were well presented today and I thought a couple in particular looked outstanding, so I was very pleased.

“We have had some great horses come out of the Sale in the past and hopefully a few will come out of this Sale and do really well for us, for Hong Kong and for our owners, so overall I would say this is a big success and we’re very happy with the outcome.”

Breeders' Cup Away trip still pending

A decision on whether Saturday’s G3 Eureka Stud WJ Healy S. winner Away Game (Snitzel) makes the journey to contest at November’s Breeders’ Cup at Del Mar is expected to be made by mid-July.

American-based managing owner Hannah Mathiesen told TDN AusNZ that connections are leaning more towards keeping the 3-year-old filly in Australia, after consulting with Ciaron Maher and David Eustace on Sunday morning.

“I need to do some more research over the next few days on logistics to see if we could make the trip make sense,” Mathiesen told TDN AusNZ.

“Being primarily American-based owners we would love to see her race at Del Mar in the Breeders’ Cup but we want to do what’s best for the horse and her career.”

Maher raised the Breeders' Cup trip as a possibility after Away Game's win on Saturday.

“I said if she won today that may be the ticket she needs to get over to America and have a crack at that race,” Maher said.

“I’ve been over to Del Mar once before and I had a pretty good time so hopefully I can take her over there and use it as an excuse to have an even better time.”

Away Game’s success on Saturday marked her first victory since taking out last April’s G2 Percy Sykes S. at Randwick, and Maher said the win was a testament to the role multiple staff members played in correcting her lingering feet issues.

He said the decision to ride the 3-year-old cold and wait on her turn of foot was based on jockey Kerrin McEvoy's post-race assessment after her third-placed effort in the Listed Hinkler H. earlier this month.

“She spent a lot of time down at our beach facility earlier this year with Nikki, Anna and Christine (Duffy) to get her feet right as that was behind the drop in her form at the end of last preparation,” Maher told Sky Thoroughbred Central.

“But she’s just a really good horse and most of the horses we train improve second-up and it was also a really good ride by Stephanie Thornton.”

The victory marked Thornton’s maiden Group success in the saddle.

“Ciaron gave me my first city winner in Melbourne when I was claiming 3kgs so for him to give me my first Group winner is amazing,” Thornton said.

“He (Ciaron) said to me before the race to be neutral on her and let her find her feet and as a result we got into a good spot with cover, and while I was a long way off at the top of the straight I knew if she was on song we’d catch them as she’s a speedy little girl.”

A $425,000 2019 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale purchase by Kerri Radcliffe Bloodstock via the draft of her breeders Mill Park Stud, Away Game is the sixth survived foal out of Listed Chairman's S. third placegetter Elusive Wonder (Elusive Quality {USA}), thus making her a full sibling to Listed winner and dual Listed placegetter Modern Wonder.

Tofane occupies rare air in Moroney's mind

After Tofane (NZ) (Ocean Park {NZ}) gave Michael Moroney his 52nd Group 1 victory with her win in Saturday's Tattersall's Tiara, TDN AusNZ caught up with the Flemington-based trainer to reflect on where she sits amongst his best horses, the recent decision not to sell her and the importance of owner Rupert Legh to his success.

As a triple Group 1 winner, Tofane understandably occupies a special place in Moroney's heart, but as is so often the case with elite racehorses, her race record alone undersells the effort that has gone in to realising her considerable talent.

Moroney knows plenty about the qualities of the best racehorses, having experienced so much success in both New Zealand and Australia over his career and off the back of her dominant win in the Tatt's Tiara, he puts Tofane in the same category of his many champions past.

"She'd be one of the better mares I've trained, without a doubt. The only filly that I’d put with her is Happanunoit, and I only had her for those four starts. She won three of those and got beaten a nose by Dracula in the Champagne and then she went to America and won three Group 1s," he said.

"She is probably one of the best ones that has gone through my hands, but this filly is the next best. The way she is tracking, she could be the best of them all."

The list of stars Moroney has trained also includes dual Australian Group 1 winners Eskimo Queen (NZ) (Shinko King {Ire}), Sarrera (Quest For Fame) and Monaco Consul (NZ) (High Chaparral {Ire}) as well as four-time New Zealand Group 1 winner Xcellent (NZ) (Pentire {GB}), who sits top of the pile in Moroney's estimation.

Xcellent (NZ)

"They all show natural talent from day dot, and she (Tofane) certainly did. The best horse I have ever trained, Xcellent did. He won four Group 1s in his first six starts," Moroney said.

"They show it early and always have that natural talent, it’s just a matter of them maturing and just harnessing it."

Patience is something Moroney has in spadefuls, and he needed plenty of that to develop Tofane into arguably the best mare in the country, with her headstrong and competitive nature not always working in her favour.

"At one stage, she was going to lose her way, but we kept her at the short trips, kept riding her quiet and putting different gear on her. We finally got it right. In saying that, she has matured into a really sensible, lovely mare," he said.

"She loves stable life and she is good to deal with, but once you get her out of a trot and canter she can be a bit hard to hang on to."

With that in mind, Moroney has been careful about who he has put on Tofane throughout her career. A look through her race record sees names like Damien Oliver, Dwayne Dunn, Tommy Berry, Opie Bosson, and in her last two starts, which have both been Group 1 wins, Craig Williams.

"I've always had a senior rider on her. Lily (Miller), who has travelled with her, has just got by on her. She doesn't generally ride her work in Melbourne because I usually have someone stronger on her," he said.

"We’ve been lucky enough to have had guys like Olly and Dwayne Dunn on her, who have just helped on the way through. We’ve had a lot of help and a lot of advice on her."

To sell or not to sell

Tofane's Group 1 victories in the Stradbroke H. and the Tatt's Tiara might have happened in someone else's colours or not at all had the ownership group decided to sell her in the recent Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale, where she was set to sell under Newgate Consignment's banner.

A much-improved second-up effort in the G3 BRC Sprint last month where she finished second convinced her trainer and part-owner Moroney that she was worth pressing on with, but the vote taken the following day whether to retain her was a close-run thing.

"She came close to being sold. We were well aware that those mares can get those little chinks on the way through and it can put them off a bit. Knowing that and having trained a lot of mares over the years, I advised them that we should nominate her for the sales and just see," he said.

"It came down to that race over the 1350 metres, which wasn't an ideal track and she did have a lot of weight. She went brilliantly that day. She had shown signs that she was back to her best anyway and we just wanted to confirm it on raceday. She did that day and that was a turning point.

"We made the decision before the race that as long as she went well enough, we'd be keeping her, and it looked as if she definitely did. We chatted on the Sunday morning, with the studs trying to talk us around and telling us that the market was at its highest now. It got down to a vote and we voted to keep her. It was a 70-30 split."

In the following days, as records were broken at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale, where 25 mares sold for $1 million or more, there was no doubt some mixed feelings among the ownership group, but her brilliant win in the Stradbroke H. followed up by Saturday's victory has vindicated the decision to keep the faith.

A lot to look forward to

Moroney is of the opinion that there well may be more to come from Tofane in terms of race performance.

"It was only start 22 for her, so she hasn't been heavily raced for her age. She's now at her best and she would have another good season in her at least at that level. I think we’ve got a really interesting next 12 months for her," he said.

"She's (Tofane) now at her best and she would have another good season in her at least at that level. I think we’ve got a really interesting next 12 months for her." - Michael Moroney

'Really interesting' could means she is stretched out in distance, with managing owner Rupert Legh indicating a race like the G1 Mackinnon S. could fit her spring plans.

She is certainly bred to appreciate ground, being by Ocean Park out of Galileo (Ire) mare Baggy Green, who is a half-sister to G1 Queensland Oaks winner Youngstar (High Chaparral {Ire}) and three-quarter sister to G1 Flight S. winner Funstar (Adelaide {Ire}).

Tofane's three runs at 1400 metres have all been Group 1 wins and Moroney feels that she now has the racing manners to stretch out further.

"What I liked about her is that in the last 100 metres in both her Group 1 wins, she has powered away. She's really going well in what were strong Group 1 races," he said.

"Her want to get it over and done with has worked against her in the past. But she has learned how to settle now. She's lightly raced for a reason and that's because we were waiting for her to grow up physically and mentally."

Another triumph for partnership

Tofane's success is yet another for Moroney in Legh's navy blue and gold colours, an association that began over 20 years ago in the aftermath of the trainer's win with Brew (NZ) (Sir Tristram {Ire}) in the 2000 Melbourne Cup.

"He's been my biggest supporter. He was introduced into the stable by the late Andrew Ramsden, and Andrew was always a big fan of our stable, from the time we first got here. He introduced me to Rupert at the afterparty of when Brew won the Melbourne Cup," Moroney said.

"He's (Rupert Legh) been my biggest supporter. He was introduced into the stable by the late Andrew Ramsden, and Andrew was always a big fan of our stable, from the time we first got here." - Michael Moroney

"From then on we formed an association and he has been great for the stable. He has brought in a lot of new players. Even with Tofane, people like Neil Werrett and Colin Madden, who raced Black Caviar, this is just the second horse we have trained for them.

"We have attracted a really good clientele base with Rupert helping and it’s been a great partnership."

Among other Group 1 winners Moroney has trained in Legh's colours are Alabama Express, Glass Harmonium (NZ), Mr Baritone (NZ) (Stravinsky {USA}) and the aforementioned Sarrera.

The Gordon Cunningham-bred Tofane is also one of a long list of Moroney horses, who like himself, have been bred in New Zealand.

"New Zealand has done a great job. They are batting well above their average when it comes to these top horses and they haven't had the money that has been poured in here," he said.

"The worry for New Zealand is that the broodmare band is down under 3000 now, that is not good for them, but hopefully this gives them a shot in the arm. It is certainly, environment-wise, the best place I have seen to raise horses.

"I've been to Kentucky and to Ireland and I still think New Zealand is the best I have seen for raising horses."

Prince Fawaz to stand at Oaklands Stud

3 min read

Written by Bren O'Brien

Group 1-winning son of Fastnet Rock, Prince Fawaz, will stand at Oaklands Stud in Queensland for the 2021 breeding season at a fee of $11,000 (inc GST).

Just over two years since his career-best performance, when he beat a quality field, including subsequent dual Group 1 winner Shadow Hero (Pierro) in the G1 JJ Atkins S., his ownership group have confirmed Prince Fawaz will be retired to stand at the Stewart family's Oaklands Stud at Umbiram, near Toowoomba.

"We are very excited and humbled to have the opportunity to partner with the owners to stand Prince Fawaz, a son of Fastnet Rock, at Oaklands Stud in Queensland,” said Stud Principal, Neville Stewart. "He is an outstanding individual with an outstanding stallion’s pedigree.”

Prince Fawaz will stand alongside established stallion Power (GB) and the recently relocated arrival Exosphere, with a limited number of Lifetime Breeding Rights available.

Bred by Gerry Harvey, Prince Fawaz was purchased at the 2018 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale by trainer Anthony Cummings for $220,000.

Prince Fawaz

Cummings recalled a natural attraction to the colt due to his depth of pedigree, and an abundance of natural talent was quickly revealed.

“He’s the most exciting 2-year-old I’ve trained,” said Cummings. “Right from when he turned up at the stables, he had a good attitude and was easy to deal with, obviously a horse of some quality.”

“Right from when he (Prince Fawaz) turned up at the stables, he had a good attitude and was easy to deal with, obviously a horse of some quality.” - Anthony Cummings

He made an immediate impression on the track, finishing a closing fifth, beaten 4l by Castelvecchio in the G1 Champagne S. at just his second start. Two starts later, he broke through for his first win in a 2-year-old race at Randwick.

He then tackled the JJ Atkins S. when piloted by Kerrin McEvoy, he proved too good for Kubrick (Shooting To Win) and Reloaded (Snitzel).

“We won a Group 1 mile race at only his fifth race, and he did it in dynamic fashion. It was a thrilling ride. He was lovely to ride, strong-muscled and was quite push-button. He had a nice, big action, covering the ground well," said McEvoy. “I can’t wait to see his progeny at stud. I think he’ll stamp them, and he’ll stamp them well.”

In winning the JJ Atkins, he became Fastnet Rock's first 2-year-old Group 1-winning colt in Australia.

Prince Fawaz returns to the mounting yard after victory in the 2019 G1 JJ Atkins S.

Returning to form the following autumn, Prince Fawaz was narrowly beaten into second by Castelvecchio in the G1 Rosehill Guineas.

“When he was on-song, he ran time, did it against the best opposition and he did it comfortably, so has all the hallmarks of a very good horse,” said Cummings.

Prince Fawaz’s dam, Lady Paget (Testa Rossa), was a two-time winner on the track who has produced three foals, all winners. She is from the stakes-placed Last Tycoon (Ire) mare Lady Capel, who has produced four stakes winners including the Group 1 winner and 2-year-old stakes winner, Casino Prince (Flying Spur).

It is also the extended family of Group 1 winners Onemorenomore (Red Ransom {USA}) and Green Birdie (Catbird).

Hurricane Lane up late to win Irish Derby

Third in the G1 Cazoo Derby earlier this month, Hurricane Lane (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) took his record to four-from-five on Saturday with a victory in the G1 Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby.

Representing Godolphin in the 2400 metre Classic, Hurricane Lane was urged to take a position among the leaders and briefly took his spot up there before settling in midfield. Leading Matchless (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) set an honest pace up front and started to fade in the final 800 metres with Lone Eagle (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) taking over the lead from there. Lone Eagle had multiple lengths on the field as they entered the final 400 metres and it looked like he wasn’t for catching but Hurricane Lane was just getting into his best gear at that point. The colt closed over 4l to get up to beat Lone Eagle by 0.25l with Wordsworth (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) 7l back in third.

One of no less than five winners for Frankel (GB) on Saturday, Hurricane Lane is also a full brother to Frankel’s stakes-placed Frankel’s Storm (Ire).

Their stakes-winning dam Gale Force (GB) (Shirocco {Ger}) is a half-sister to Champion Seal Of Approval (GB) (Authorized {Ire}) with G1 Epsom Derby and G1 Irish Derby winner Harzand (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) also in the family. That colt is also a half-brother to Australian stakes winner Haripour (Ire) (Shamardal {Ire}).

Back-to-back for Chrono Genesis

Chrono Genesis (Jpn) (Bago {Fr}) has successfully defended her G1 Takarazuka Kinen title at Hanshin, claiming the fourth Group 1 success of her career.

The Takashi Saito-trained 5-year-old mare surged late under Christophe Lemaire to stride clear of Unicorn Lion (Ire) (No Nay Never {USA}) by 2.5l, with the previously unbeaten Lei Papale (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) finishing third, a short margin away.

Lemaire settled Chrono Genesis just behind the pace set by Unicorn Lion and secured a run with around 300 metres to go. The leading pair had shot clear at that point, but the star mare had too strong a finish, winning with ease.

It was her first run in Japan this year, having travelled to Dubai in March to contest the G1 Sheema Classic, where she finished second behind Mishriff (USA) (Make Believe {USA}). She has now won eight of her 15 starts.

Maxfield wins Stephen Foster for Godolphin

Maxfield (USA) (Street Sense {USA}) won his seventh race in eight starts on Saturday with an easy victory in the G2 Stephen Foster H. at Churchill Downs.

Racing over 1800 metres on the dirt, Maxfield was comfortable in midpack a few paths off the rail as two longshots fought for the lead. Maxfield looked like he was out for a gallop instead of in a Graded stakes, racing around the turn as he easily circled the field and had an easy lead down the stretch. The colt was never asked for his best as he galloped home by an easy 3.25l over Warrior’s Charge (USA) (Munnings {USA}) with Sprawl (USA) (City Zip {USA}) 2l behind the runner-up in third.

One of two winners from two to race out of Bernardini (USA) mare Velvety (USA), Maxfield’s dam is a three-quarter sister to Grade 1 winner and successful sire Sky Mesa (USA) and a half-sister to multiple Graded stakes winner Golden Velvet (USA) (Seeking The Gold {USA}). In all, there are 11 stakes performers under Maxfield’s first two dams.

Quick turnaround gives Go Bears Go Railway win

A close second at Royal Ascot nine days ago, Go Bears Go (Ire) (Kodi Bear {Ire}) went one better on Saturday in the G2 GAIN Railway S. at The Curragh.

Stretching to 1200 metres for the first time in his three race career, Go Bears Go took the lead early but conceded it to The Acropolis (Ire) (Churchill {Ire}) and closely attended him throughout. With less than 400 metres to run Go Bears Go took command of the race back and never yielded again, finishing 1.25l ahead of Castle Star (Ire) (Starspangledbanner) with Masseto (GB) (Territories {Ire}) another 1.25l back in third.

“We were so positive that he'd stay six furlongs and it was a big toss-up before Ascot between the Norfolk and the Coventry,” jockey Rossa Ryan told Thoroughbred Daily News. “(Trainer) Dave Loughnane took a massive risk coming here a week later, so we're glad it's paid off. He's a top-class sprinter in the making, I think.”

Go Bears Go’s dam is a half-sister to the dam of G1 Caulfield Cup winner Benbatl (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), who also finished second in the G1 Cox Plate. He also has multiple family members residing in Australasia as broodmares with Clerio (GB) (Soviet Star {USA}) the dam of New Zealand stakes winner Alamer (NZ) (Alamosa {NZ}) and grandam of Group 1 winner Our Rokkii (NZ) (Roc De Cambes {NZ}) and her sister producing the dam of stakes winner Noogoora Burr (Royal Academy {USA}) and Group 1-placed Fleur Royale (Royal Academy {USA}).

Set Piece wins third straight in Wise Dan

It was a first Graded stakes victory and third straight victory overall for Set Piece (GB) (Dansili {GB}) when the 5-year-old gelding made a late run to take out the G2 Wise Dan S. over 1700 metres.

Spending much of the race as the back marker, as they reached the stretch, Set Piece found another gear. Weaving through the traffic between him and longtime leader Somelikeithotbrown (USA) (Big Brown {USA}), Set Piece raced up the hedge in the closing strides to win by 0.5l with Ride A Comet (USA) (Candy Ride {Arg}) in third behind Somelikeithotbrown.

The Juddmonte homebred is from the family of G3 Newcastle Gold Cup winner Disclaimer (GB) (Dansili {GB}), who earned $168,285 during his time running in Australia. The family also includes Michael and Luke Cerchi-trained Australia Group winner Midterm (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), G2 Herbert Power H. winner Amralah (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}), and G3 Maurice McCarten H. winner Easy Eddie (Super Easy {NZ}) among Australian performers in the family.

Glorious Journey back in winner’s enclosure

Glorious Journey (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) gave himself an added challenge in the G3 Close Brothers Criterion S. over 1400 metres on Saturday and in the end was a 1l winner of the race.

Rearing at the start, he hurried to the lead from there but quickly dropped back to the rear of the field. It wasn’t until over half-way through the race that he started to make an impact on the race when making his way through the group to sit just behind the leader entering the final 400 metres. He took over the lead soon after and though he drifted, he was able to win by 1l over Motakhayyel (GB) (Heeraat {Ire}) in the end with Duke Of Hazzard (Fr) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) 0.5l back in third.

From the family of Fastnet Rock’s New Zealand Group 1 winner Age Of Fire, his dam is a half-sister to the dam of Loving Home (GB) (Shamardal {USA}). In training with Tess Wilkes, Loving Home last ran yesterday when finishing fourth.

Outbox another stakes winner for Frankel

Out of a three-quarter sister to G3 Geelong Cup winner Qewy (GB) (Street Cry {Ire}), Outbox (GB) was the second stakes winner of the day for Frankel with a win in the Listed Close Brothers Fred Archer S. over 2400 metres.

Tracking the leading Winter Reprise (Fr) (Intello {Ger}), Outbox was asked to take command inside the final 600 metres and readily complied. Drifting left 400 metres later, he let Logician (GB) (Frankel {GB}) get within 1l of him at the line but in the end led home the Frankel exacta with Pablo Escobarr (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) 3.75l back in third.

Outbox’s Group 2-winning dam Emirates Queen (GB) (Street Cry {Ire}) is also a half-sister to Champion racehorse and sire Dubawi (Ire) and three other stakes performers. They are all out of Champion and G1 Oaks d’Italia winner Zomaradah (GB) (Deploy {GB}).

Keeneland changes Book 1

The Keeneland September Yearling Sale will see a change this September when yearlings offered the first day of the Sale will have a chance to be re-offered if they aren’t sold their first time through the ring.

Those horses from the first day of Book 1 will be re-offered the following day with Keeneland's Vice President of Sales Tony Lacy citing consignors’ longtime worries of being early in the Sale.

“This is not being imposed on people,” Lacy told Thoroughbred Daily News. “It has been circulated among a core group of people who supported it heavily and wanted to try it. Not everything works, but we've got to try. It's an idea I've had for two or three years now; after hearing people say, `I'm okay with Book 1 as long as it's not day one.’ It's an anxiety that I want to recognise and that Keeneland wants to recognise. If there's something we can do to offset the potential problematic aspects of that, we want to try to approach it.”

Horses who again leave the ring unsold will not incur any additional costs for being offered twice. Lacy also said there will be parameters around the reserve the second time through the ring so sellers aren’t able to make large adjustments if they go through the second time.

Book 1 takes place during the first Monday and Tuesday sessions of the Keeneland September Sale kicking off on September 13 with the Sale’s “Dark Day” taking place that Wednesday.

Daily News Wrap

Eagle lands first winner

Armidale Stud's Alpine Eagle has sired his first winner, with the Mark Ganderton-trained Alpine Wolf romping to a 4l victory on debut in a 1009 metre 2-year-old maiden at Devonport.

The homebred gelding had won a recent Devonport trial and took that form to the racetrack, coming from just off the pace under Daniel Ganderton and then surging clear late to defeat Lacerate (Charge Forward) with Gee Gees So True (Wordsmith) in third.

Alpine Wolf, who is out of three-time winning West Quest (Can) mare, Copper Dancer, was one of four of Alpine Eagle's first crop in the race.

The son of High Chaparral (Ire) had had seven previous runners for one placegetter. He stands for $6050 (inc GST) at Armidale Stud for 2021.

Hayes brothers get first Victorian success

Well-bred gelding Elteecee (Pierro) has given Lindsay Park's new training combination Ben and JD Hayes their first winner in their home state with an all-the-way success at Spendthrift Australia Park at Werribee.

Elteecee, ridden by Patrick Moloney, was having his third start, but first since January and showed substantial improvement, jumping to the front and repelling the late challenge by the Team Hawkes'-trained Greaves (Stratum Star) to win by 0.75l in the 11000 metre maiden. Grizzles (Vancouver) finished third, another 2.25l adrift.

Elteecee

Ben and JD Hayes recorded their first winner since starting their partnership when Zayydani (NZ) (Savabeel) won the Listed Tattersall's Gold Crown at Eagle Farm on Saturday, but this is their first success in Victoria.

A $140,000 buy for Lindsay Park and Andrew Williams Bloodstock from the Segenhoe Stud draft at the 2020 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, Elteecee is out of the seven-time winner Adorabubble (Ferocity).

The extended family on this pedigree page includes some top horses such as The Everest winner Classique Legend (Not A Single Doubt) and multiple Group 1 winner Racing To Win (Encosta De Lago).

Incentivise leaves impression on Moody

Bolstered by the first impression his new stable acquisition Incentivise (Shamus Award) left on him at Eagle Farm on Saturday, Peter Moody is looking forward to the spring with the promising stayer.

Incentivise claimed his first stakes win in emphatic fashion, winning the Listed Tattersall's Cup by 12l and rocketing to the top of markets for both the G1 Caulfield Cup and G1 Melbourne Cup in what was his final run for Steve Tregea.

"I think most people were quite flabbergasted," Moody told Racing.com. "I was too.

"He was taking on much better-performed horses, so it was pretty special."

Tregea sold a controlling share in the 4-year-old earlier this month to prominent owners Brae Sokolski and Ozzie Kheir, with Moody to now take control of him, having first seen him in the flesh on Friday.

"He’s quite a big horse, a tall horse who is still furnishing out," Moody noted. "Steve (Tregea) said he’s done better every time he’s been to the races this time around.

"He’s quite a narrow horse. He looked unbelievably healthy. He’s over 500 kilograms so he’s a fair lump of a horse but with a bit of furnishing to do behind the saddle.

"He’ll have a freshen up at Steve’s for a few weeks and over the next few weeks we’ll nut out a path and work out when we need to have him in."

Another honour for Waller

Chris Waller has claimed the honour of being Australia’s Group 1 champion trainer for the ninth consecutive season.

Waller finished with 15 Group 1 victories for 2020/21, his equal second-best alongside his 2015/16 tally and is only bettered by the 18 he secured during Winx’s (Street Cry {Ire}) final racing season in 2018/19.

Waller's stable runners have earned more than $40 million for the third season in succession.

“It’s been a good year,’’ Waller told the Daily Telegraph.

“I do spend a lot of time explaining to people on the other side of the world how lucky we are in Australian racing."

Perth Cup suits for Naughty By Nature

A long-term plan to target the G2 Perth Cup is on the agenda for the Jason Miller-trained Naughty By Nature (Trade Fair {GB}) after her win in the G3 Strickland S. at Belmont on Saturday.

The 4-year-old claimed her fifth win from 21 starts and her first at stakes level having been placed in black-type races on four previous occasions.

"We've always had a plan to try and target a race like that, so it's good when it works," Miller said after the win.

Miller completed the rare hat-trick of having been a winning jockey, owner and now trainer across three different editions of the Strickland S.

He confirmed the Perth Cup in January looks an ideal target race in the Perth summer carnival for his mare.

Double delight for Kearneys

Ross and Corrine Kearney's broodmare Signorina (NZ) (Conatus) has produced two winners in a week after Bankers Choice (NZ) (Mongolian Khan) won by 7l at Tauranga on Saturday just three days after his older half-sister Jodelin Gal (NZ) (Swiss Ace) had won at Pukekohe.

Bred and raced under the Kearneys’ Okaharau Station banner, Bankers Choice made it two wins in a row after breaking his maiden status at Matamata earlier in the month.

“We’re running around on cloud nine,” Ross Kearney said. “He’s a horse who has taken some time to mature but he looks like he has figured it out now.

“To get a win was wonderful but to have two in the same week for the mare is just amazing.”

The Kearneys are relative newcomers to the thoroughbred breeding game, having moved to a property in Okoroire in 2018.

“We’ve got nine mares and six weanlings on the farm, with five of our mares due to foal this season,” Kearney said.

“Signorina, the dam of Bankers Choice is in foal to Mongolian Khan and has a Time Test weanling colt at foot."

500 up for Hughes

Riccarton trainer Kevin Hughes brought up his 500th career winner when Russian Fable (NZ) (Zacinto {GB}) won at Riccarton on Saturday.

Hughes, who trains in partnership with his wife Pam, is 81 and was rapt to have reached the milestone.

“It’s been a while coming but certainly nice to get it,” he said.

“We were lucky in that it was race one and the track was at its best as she is a mare that can handle wet ground but not the really tough, heavy going.

“It was a good win and made special as the owner has been with us for a long time, so it made for a very nice moment.”
