Reliable Man and Golden Lilac, King and Queen of Chantilly- June 2011
 

Reliable Man beats Bubble Chic in Grand Prix du Jockey Club 2011

The two classics Prix du Jockey Club, and de Diane 2011 have just been run on the splendid “Princes de Condé” racecourse, at Chantilly. In the Prix du Jockey Club, the boarder of Alain de Royer-Dupré, Reliable Man managed to remain unbeaten for his third public outing, safely dominating Bubble Chic and the unfortunate Baraan who lost precious lengths at the start. The property of Pride Racing Club, Reliable Man was ridden by Gérald Mossé. Reliable Man succeeds his father Dalakhani who also won the Prix du Jockey Club. A Dalakhani who is also the father of Baraan, while Bubble Chic is by Chichicastenango, who was second to Anabaa Blue, beaten by little, in the 2001 version of the “Derby de Chantilly”. We may add that Sadler’s Wells, the father of Reliable Man’s mother, came in second to Darshaan, father of Dalakhani, in the famous Jockey Club of 1984, where the third was Rainbow Quest. What a finish !!

 

Golden Lilac wins the Prix de Diane (Groupe I) at Chantilly- june 2011

In the Prix de Diane, Golden Lilac imposed the law on Galikova. Both daughters of champion stallion Galileo, they gathered numerous votes and were the favourites for the race, the preference of the betters, however, just went to Galikova, the younger sister of the exceptional Goldikova. But Golden Lilac managed to preserve her invicibility, like Reliable Man a week before. By doing this, she won her fifth victory, at the same time as achieving the prestigious double of the “Poule d’Essai des Pouliches” and the “Prix de Diane”. Owned by her breeder, Gestüt Ammerland and prepared by André Fabre, Golden Lilac was ridden by Maxime Guyon. Her performance surpasses that of her mother the excellent Grey Lilas, “only” second in the Poule d’Essai and third in the Prix de Diane. Grey Lilas is by the top stallion Danehill, whose meeting with Galileo also produced the formidable Frankel, who showed himself to be, once again, untouchable, last week, at Royal Ascot.

LET’S SEE WHAT SHADWELL BRINGS US IN 2010… !!!  

Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum is a great racing enthusiast everybody knows. Most in the public eye at all great places in the world, his colours distinguishes itself notably in France, where, in a just recurrence of things the animator of Shadwell likes to go shopping as far as yearlings go. This war again the case last summer 2009, at Deauville where Shadwell France was the number one buyer at the Arquana sales, picking up twenty horses, for a total of 4,190,000 euros. In the company of his advisor and manager of hiss taff, Angus Gold, Sheikh Hamdan visited himself the lots which interested him and made his choice knowing well his cause, in particular descendents of Green Desert, Cape Cross, Motivator, Invincible Spirit, Oasis Dream, Medicean, Dalakhani, Anabaa, Elusive City, etc… He agreed to pay his top price of 460,000 Euros for a stallion out of Green Desert , a three quarter brother of his champion as a 2 years old Naaqoos (Grand Critérium 2008), knowing that he kept him as a stallion in France, at 6000 Euros fee, in the framework of his first season at Haras du Mézeray (Orne).

In 2009, Sheikh Hamdan’s colours were, for the rest, completely successful on French soil, where, if Naaqoos did not manage to repeat what he did as a 2 y.o., there was Aqlaam, winner of the Prix du Moulin de Longchamp, Groupe I, and Arcano, hero of the Prix de Morny, Groupe I.

If Sheikh Hamdan is, firstly, of more anglo-saxon mentality, France is also a chosen land for his racehorses in the same way as the whole of Europe, where Shadwell holds a good part of his references, in races as well as breeding.

The Air Mauritius / Beau Rivage International Jockeys Day 2003  

Dominique Boeuf takes the Championship

The International Jockeys Challenge was marked this year by the participation of 11 times British Champion Jockey, Pat Eddery, who was to retire after his final competitive rides in Mauritius. With about 4,600 wins, Eddery tasted success in every country he had ridden except at the Champ de Mars, the oldest racecourse in the Southern hemisphere. Eddery’s aim was to score at least one in Mauritius before stepping down.

As the photo nearby shows it, the atmosphere
was excellent at Mauritius.

 

In temperature nearing the 33 degrees celcius, the Champ de Mars attracted an estimated crowd of about 32,000 people. The card promised thrilling races and the entertainment was minutely organised by the Mauritius Turf Club throughout the day. The tenth International Jockeys Day was jointly sponsored by Air Mauritius and Beau Rivage Hotel and 17 overseas jockeys were invited to attend the event. Jeffrey Lloyd, mauritian champion jockey for the second consecutive year, represented South Africa, while Yashin Emamdee was the mauritian representative.


The Mauritius Turf Club invited 9 Young Stars to compete in a Young Star Competition. South African, Marco Van Rensburg, and Nishal Teeha, from Mauritius, finished dead heat in first place with 16 points each. French jockey, Dominique Boeuf, won a double at the close of the day to snatch the title from British jockey, Darryll Holland. Boeuf won a hard fought battle on Atlantic Mist and showed his impressive jockeyship on Moyenne in the final race of the day. 3rd in the French Championship this year, Boeuf who was at his second participation this year in Mauritius, had a pillar to post win on Atlantic Mist. The grey travelled untroubled throughout the race and resisted the 5/2 favourite President Bill ridden by Y. Emamdee to give the Frenchman his first mauritian win. Holland started the day with an impressive finish on Market Research in the second race. In a thrilling finish, Holland just managed to snatch victory from Liszka, ridden by Y. Emamdee. The British Champion Jockey managed a double on Fashion Editor, in the fifth race. Showing great skill and flair, Holland waited patiently for the final straight to quicken his mount. The latter responded admirably and won in comfortable style. Emamdee himself was rewarded for all his hard work with a fantastic win on Boomerang depriving Pat Eddery his much sought win on 10/3 favourite Milad. Despite coming back without a win, Eddery was given a standing ovation by the mauritian public for his outstanding career.

Horse racing in Switzerland 2003  

 

Les courses de chevaux en Suisse sont l'objet d'un engouement constant depuis près d'un siècle en Suisse romande et en Suisse alémanique.

En plat notamment, on court régulièrement  à un très bon niveau, et des galopeurs de valeur "courses de groupe" viennent de tous pays avoisinants pour tenter de remporter le très convoité Grand Prix de Saint-Moritz en hiver sur la neige, et le classique SWISS DERBY de Frauenfeld de la mi-juin.

Current Owner: M Tabor & Mrs. John Magnier
Current Trainer: A P O’Brien
Breeder: S Coughlan

Most recent win: The Breeders Cup Turf  (26 October 2002)

After winning the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster in 2001, Kevin Darley, rider of High Chaparral said: “I think he’ll improve and he has a very, very bright future.” Darley could not have been more right. High Chaparral has shown on the 26 October 2002 at Arlington Park in the United States that he is an outstanding horse. The O’Brien-trained horse has proven that he has the stamina and class to compete at the highest level and do so in the most dazzling fashion. His trainer did not spare the flattering words he well deserved: “He came out with an awful lot of class and he will be back next year…He has the qualities of a superstar.” High Chaparral was only the 15th horse to complete the Epsom- Curragh Derby double earlier this year. Jockey M. Kinane who has been associated with the 3 year old for his last two wins, also commented highly of the Breeder’s Cup Turf winner: “He is a very high class colt.” High Chaparral defeated stablemate Hawk Wing in Epsom earlier this year to give Irish trainer Aidan O’Brien a one-two and his second consecutive win in the Vodafone Derby. The 3 year old went on to take third place in the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, on the 6th October.

High Chaparral - Derby Epsom 2002  



High Chaparral - Derby Epsom 2002

Galileo 2001  

ASCOT 28 July 2001 – Near the winning post!

Galileo - Fantastic Light or the duo of the season in Europe, that has just published a new twinning at the arrival of the Irish Champion Stakes (group l, 2000 metres) in Leopardstown, but in the opposite order of the one noticed during the King Georges And Queen Elisabeth Stakes (group l, 2400 metres), in July, in Ascot (our photography).

 

Galileo certainly intended to take his revenge at the time of their next confrontation, on the occasion of the Breeders'Cup, in the United States 3 months later.

But the Fantastic Light managers that decided with great wisdom for the Breeders'Cup Turf despite a half lower allowance to the winner, prevent the duel from taking place, and Galileo did not succeed in showing off to advantage on the dirt of Belmont Park, arriving 6th of Tiznow.

Friday 30 November 2001 at the Tattersalls auctions of Newmarket, a own sister of Galileo (Sadler's Wells - Urban Sea) has been sold for 1,1 million guineas (2 millions USD) to John Magnier and his Coolmore stud farm.
