Making Waves: Immortalised Makes His Mark In Florida

   In this series, the TDN takes a look at notable successes of European-based sires in North America. This week's column is highlighted by the victory of Immortalised at Gulfstream Park.

Romanised Colt Ageless At Gulfstream

Sean Feld and Starry Night Racing's Immortalised (Romanised) made it two wins from three starts, after taking a Gulfstream contest on Thursday (video). Trained by Brendan Walsh, the three-year-old colt was bred by Elevage Haras de Bourgeauville.

Sold for €37,000 to Feld Family Finds out of Arqana's Vente d'Elevage in 2023, the February foal is the third foal and runner of the winning Notte d'Oro (Montjeu). Her second winner, he has a two-year-old full-brother and a yearling half-brother by Saint Des Saints. Second dam Notting Hill (Jules) was a multiple group winner in her native Brazil, and placed at the highest level there and in the GI John C. Mabee Handicap Stateside. She is the dam of group winner and Group 1 runner-up Notting Tomorrow (Aragorn), who has foaled a pair of Group 1 winners in Brazil, including Brazilian Champion Three-Year-Old Colt Jackson Pollock (Kodiak Kowboy).

Romanised stands at Haras de Castillon this year for €5,000. From limited representation in the U.S., the stallion has one winner from two runners in Immortalised.

Repeat Winner

Accent (Pinatubo), a winner at Tampa Bay last April, represented Jeffrey Drown with another victory there on February 1 (video). The undefeated Chad Brown trainee is a half-sister to three-time Grade I winner Program Trading (Lope De Vega).

Three Diamonds Farm's Sapphire Beach (No Nay Never) won for the second time in four starts at Gulfstream on February 5 (video). The Rusty Arnold trainee had run second, promoted to first on her debut.

Mathilde Powell's Imaboutago (Calyx) strutted her stuff at Santa Anita on Friday afternoon (video). She is trained by Leonard Powell.

Maiden winner Goncora (Iffraaj) came off just over a year on the sidelines and bolted up a handy winner at Tampa Bay Downs on February 8 (video). The Chad Brown trainee who races for Madaket Stables, Michael Dubb, William Rucker and William Strauss, was making his fourth lifetime start.
