Kingman (GB)

Jean-Louis Bouchard's Group 1 winner Feed The Flame (GB) (Kingman {GB}) has been retired for stallion duty trainer Pascal Bary confirmed to Paris Turf on Thursday. Stud plans are pending for the 4-year-old. Out of Knyazhna (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}), the bay was bred by Monceaux, Lordship Stud and Clear Light SAS. Offered by Monceaux during the 2021 Arqana August Yearling Sale, he brought €270,000 from SAS Larrieu Gerard. A winner of his first two starts last spring with the former effort good for 'TDN Rising Star' status, Feed The Flame...

Juddmonte's hitherto untested Cosmic Year (GB) (Kingman {GB}--Passage Of Time {GB}, by Dansili {GB}) was scratched from a fast-ground maiden at Newbury last month and rewarded connections' patience with a stunning debut display to attain 'TDN Rising Star' status in Wednesday's Sir Michael Stoute Farewell And Thank You Novice Stakes. The Harry Charlton trainee was usurped in the betting market by Amo Racing's Rock D'Oro (Bolt D'Oro), who had chased home subsequent G2 Champagne Stakes victor Bay City Roller (Ire) (New Bay {GB}) on debut, and stalked that rival in...

Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-bred horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Wednesday's Observations features another foal out of a Group 1 winner. 14.50 Sandown, Novice, £10,000, 2yo, 7fT COSMIC YEAR (GB) (Kingman {GB}) is the 11th foal out of Juddmonte's G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud heroine Passage Of Time (GB) (Dansili {GB}), with her previous Kingman being the dual group 3...

Ralph Beckett was convinced that Tabiti (GB) (Kingman {GB}--Lilyfire, by First Defence) had the speed for six furlongs and he was proved spot-on as the Juddmonte homebred mastered her first stern test in Friday's G3 Ire-Incentive, It Pays To Buy Irish Dick Poole Fillies' Stakes at Salisbury. Impressive on debut over seven furlongs at Newmarket last month, the half-sister to the G2 Linlithgow Stakes winner Old Flame (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) was in front for the first two furlongs under Rossa Ryan before being headed by the slicker Magic Mild...

Emulating the feat of his sire Kingman (GB) in winning Sandown's G3 Solario Stakes on Saturday, Juddmonte's TDN Rising Star Field Of Gold (Ire) continued his upward trajectory for the Gosdens who have enjoyed some big moments in this seven-furlong juvenile staging post. Impressive when dealing with some smart contemporaries in a Newmarket novice at the July Festival, the grey son of the well-connected Princess De Lune (Ire) (Shamardal) was keen early for Kieran Shoemark tracking the pace set by chief market rival Royal Playwright (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire})....

Promising Juddmonte homebred Laurel (GB) (Kingman {GB}) sustained a fatal heart attack during training on Thursday. Trained by John and Thady Gosden, the 2022 G1 Sun Chariot Stakes runner-up was last seen running second to Running Lion (GB) (Roaring Lion) in the G2 Duke Of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot in June. A winner of Newmarket and Kempton novices in July and September of 2022 prior to her Sun Chariot near miss, Laurel also won the Listed Snowdrop Fillies' Stakes at Kempton over a mile last April before running 10th...

Third in a decent novice at Sandown last month, Wathnan Racing's 500,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 purchase Dunamase (Ire) (Kingman {GB}—Turret Rocks {Ire}, by Fastnet Rock {Aus}) was off the mark at the second time of asking in the mile novice contest at Kempton on Wednesday evening. Prominent from the outset under James Doyle, the John and Thady Gosden-trained 8-11 favourite was in front approaching two out and stayed on to score by 1 1/2 lengths from Prince Of The Seas (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}). The winner is a full-brother to...

Saturday's action sees the winding-up of York's Ebor Festival and a trio of exciting juvenile races at The Curragh and Goodwood, with the Knavesmire venue boasting the most valuable prize in the G2 City of York Stakes. Cheveley Park Stud's TDN Rising Star Audience (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}) is the star attraction in the seven-furlong feature and it is fair to say that he has turned around his fortunes this term with dynamic successes in the G1 Lockinge Stakes and G2 Lennox Stakes. He may have achieved more when winning under...

Rockcliffe Stud's Listed Empress Stakes victrix Celandine (GB) (Kingman {GB}--Pepita {Ire}, by Sir Prancealot {Ire}), who collected minor prizes in last month's G2 Prix Robert Papin and G3 Molecomb Stakes, regained the winning thread with a pillar-to-post victory in Thursday's G2 Sky Bet Lowther Stakes at York. The 13-2 chance broke sharply and seized an immediate lead in this six-furlong 2-year-old contest. Holding a slender advantage throughout, she came under pressure soon after passing the quarter-mile marker and was ridden out inside the final furlong to hold the late charge...

   Firmly back on track following her blip in the Musidora, George Strawbridge's Friendly Soul (GB) (Kingman {GB}--In Clover {GB}, by Inchinor {GB}) backed up her latest win in Ascot's G3 Valiant Stakes with another in Sunday's G2 Sumbe Prix Alec Head at Deauville. Returning to the 10-furlong trip over which she had impressed in Newmarket's Listed Pretty Polly Stakes and disappointed in York's Oaks trial in May, the John and Thady Gosden-trained homebred was sent to the front soon after the start by Kieran Shoemark as she had been...

Cheveley Park Stud's Chancellor (GB) (Kingman {GB}) collected a 'TDN Rising Star' rosette at Doncaster last month, before hitting the board in Ascot's Listed Pat Eddery Stakes, and regained the winning thread with an impressive 3 1/4-length tally in Saturday's British EBF Future Stayers Novice Stakes upon his return to Town Moor. The well-backed 8-13 favourite, who is a homebred son of GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf heroine Queen's Trust (GB) (Dansili {GB}), was the slowest of four into stride and recovered to claim an early advantage at...
