Newsells Park Stud resident Without Parole (GB) (Frankel {GB}) became Europe's latest first-crop sire to get off the mark when his Ralph Beckett-trained son Mr Chaplin (GB), a 58,000gns Tattersalls December foal turned 120,000gns Book 1 yearling, followed up a debut fourth at Newmarket earlier this month with a breakthrough score in Friday's £12,000 ARC & Sky Sports Racing Support Starlight Maiden S. at Newbury.
3rd-Newbury, £12,000, Mdn, 5-17, 2yo, 6fT, 1:13.52, gd.
MR CHAPLIN (GB) (c, 2, Without Parole {GB}–Midnight Hush {Fr}, by Anabaa), a May 5 debut fourth going five furlongs at Newmarket in his only prior start, broke smartly and travelled smoothly in a prominent third from the outset of this return. Looming large on the bridle approaching the quarter-mile marker, the 11-2 chance was shaken up to seize control with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining and was ridden clear in the closing stages to easily account for Defence Missile (Ire) (Sottsass {Fr}) by an impressive three lengths. Mr Chaplin is the seventh of eight foals and third scorer out of an unraced full-sister to G3 Ballyogan S. and Listed Naas Sprint S. victrix Miss Anabaa (GB) (Anabaa), herself the second dam of G3 Clasico Republica Argentina runner-up and dual stakes-winning Peruvian champion Sissy Chanel (Tapizar) and stakes-winning G3 Pavilion S. third Enjazaat (GB) (Acclamation {GB}). The March-foaled bay's second dam Midnight Shift (Ire) (Night Shift) is a half-sister to G1 July Cup-winning sire Owington (GB) (Green Desert). Mr Chaplin is a half-brother to Listed Maggie Dickson S. victrix Mubtasimah (GB) (Dark Angel {Ire}) and a yearling colt by Mohaather (GB). Sales history: 58,000gns Wlg '22 TADEWE; 120,000gns Ylg '23 TATOCT. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $11,241.
