Hurricane Ivor | Scoop Dyga
Hurricane Ivor (Ire) (Ivawood {Ire}) undertook lengthy shoe adjustments in the preliminaries leading up to Friday’s Prix d’Orgemont at Chantilly and emerged from the straight five-furlong dash with ‘TDN Rising Star’ status after pulverising his rivals hard held. The bay was sharply away from the outside stall to gain immediate control of this debut. Unflustered on the front end throughout, the well-backed 3-5 favourite was nudged along with 350 metres remaining and on cruise control under a near-motionless Pierre-Charles Boudot inside the final furlong to hit the line an impressive 7 1/2 lengths clear of Equinozio (Ire) (Equiano {Fr}).
Hurricane Ivor, who becomes the third winner for his freshman sire (by Zebedee {GB}), is the second foal and first winner out of an unraced half-sister to G3 Silver Flash S. second Take A Deep Breath (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}). His third dam is MGSW G2 Prix du Gros-Chene speedster Millyant (GB) (Primo Dominie {GB}), herself the dam of dual G3 Prix du Petit Couvert victor Mirza (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) and the three-times stakes-placed Millybaa (Anabaa).

Shamardal’s Jubiloso a New Rising Star at Newbury
| 5th at NBY, Cond, £10,400 | Starlight Wishes Novice S. (Div II) | (7f) | Winner: Jubiloso (GB), f, 3 by Shamardal |
By Sean Cronin
Jubiloso (GB) (Shamardal), who was withdrawn from soft-ground engagements either side of an impressive Apr. 25 debut win tackling six furlongs at Chelmsford City, earned ‘TDN Rising Star’ status with a scintillating display, penalised six pounds for that earlier win, upped to seven furlongs in the second division of Friday’s Starlight Wishes Novice S. at Newbury. The 4-5 pick enjoyed a slender lead under a firm hold after a slick exit. Never threatened, she quickened clear in impressive fashion once allowed an inch of rein approaching the final furlong and extended her margin of superiority under minimal coaxing in the closing stages to outclass After John (GB) (Dutch Art {GB}) by a geared-down seven lengths.
Jubiloso, a June 21 G1 Coronation S. entry, is the first foal out of MGSP Listed Dick Poole Fillies’ S. and Listed Cecil Frail S. victress Joyeuse (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) and the homebred bay is a half-sister to the hitherto unraced 2-year-old filly Jovial (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), a yearling colt by Galileo (Ire) and a 2019 colt by Galileo (Ire). Joyeuse is one of four black-type performers out of MSW G3 Ballyogan S. third Kind (Ire) (Danehill), herself a half-sister to MG1SW sire Powerscourt (GB) (Sadler’s Wells), and is thus a half-sister to unbeaten European Horse of the Year and MG1SW sire Frankel (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), MG1SW sire Noble Mission (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) and GSW sire Bullet Train (GB) (Sadler’s Wells) She is also a full-sister to the sire Morpheus (GB).

Invincible Spirit’s Repartee Blasts To TDN Rising Stardom At York
| YRK, Mdn, 20000 | Stratford Place Stud Breeds Group Winners ebfstallions.com Maiden S. | (6f) | Winner: Repartee (Ire), c, 2 by Invincible Spirit (Ire) |
Repartee | Racing Post
By Tom Frary
Invincible Spirit (Ire) is enjoying one of those formidable spells at present and the Irish National Stud’s highly-influential stalwart was responsible for another highlight during York’s Dante meeting as his 2-year-old colt Repartee (Ire) earned TDN Rising Star status in the Stratford Place Stud Breeds Group Winners ebfstallions.com Maiden S. Arriving on the Knavesmire with some confidence behind him, Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum’s newcomer was representing the Kevin Ryan stable which has unleashed many of its leading lights here in recent times. The manner in which Repartee went through this six-furlong debut suggests it is possible that he can emulate the likes of the yard’s The Grey Gatsby (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}), Hot Streak (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}) and Astaire (GB) (Intense Focus) who all scored on their racecourse introduction over this track and trip before going on to big things.
Smartly away under Andrea Atzeni and always tanking on his own in a marginal lead, the February-foaled bay was still travelling strongly as his peers began to show distress signals approaching the last furlong. Piling it on with a rare aggression for a newcomer, the 9-2 shot hit the line strong with five lengths to spare over Forbidden Land (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}). Ballydoyle opted to withdraw Hong Kong (American Pharoah), the $1million KEEJAN graduate, but on the basis of this performance that half-brother to Caravaggio (Scat Daddy) would need to possess above-average ability to have made a competition of this.
Ryan is expecting a lot more from the winner and said, “He’s always been very talented. He’s still a little bit immature, but he was very professional today. He’ll improve massively and when I was speaking to Andrea he was shocked when I told him he’d won by five lengths. I’ll speak to the owner about Royal Ascot and see how he comes out of the race, but it’s not all about Ascot.”
Repartee is the fourth foal and third runner out of the unraced Pleasantry (GB) (Johannesburg), with his 4-year-old full-sister Parlance (Ire) having cost Cheveley Park Stud 450,000gns before winning a maiden for Sir Michael Stoute and his 3-year-old half-brother Fajjaj (Ire) (Dawn Approach {Ire}) finishing second in last year’s G2 Mehl-Mulhens-Rennen (German 2000 Guineas). The dam, who was a 80,000gns Juddmonte cast-off purchased by Cormac McCormack Bloodstock at the 2011 Tattersalls December Mares Sale, is a half-sister to none other than Kingman (GB), the brilliant miler and best progeny of Invincible Spirit who is already excelling in his own stud career.
The second dam Zenda (GB) (Zamindar) led by example by winning the G1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches which was followed by Kingman taking his own Guineas in Ireland, while her other John Gosden-trained sons Remote (GB) (Dansili {GB}) and First Eleven (GB) (Frankel {GB})–who took this meeting’s opening handicap on Wednesday–have done their bit by proving themselves group-class. One of the world’s most celebrated families, it features the powerhouse Oasis Dream (GB) and Classic winners Wemyss Bight (GB) (Dancing Brave) and New Bay (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), as well as the former’s high-class son and sire Beat Hollow (GB). Pleasantry’s yearling is a full-sister to the winner.

New Approach’s Telecaster Too Hot In the Dante
| 3rd at YOR, Gr. Stk, £165,000 | G2 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Dante S. | (10f 56y) | Winner: Telecaster (GB), c, 3 by New Approach (Ire) |
Telecaster turns back Too Darn Hot in the Dante | racingfotos.com
By Tom Frary
As is generally the case where York’s G2 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Dante S. is concerned, there was some serious Derby reckoning on Thursday as Too Darn Hot (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) surrendered his unbeaten record to Telecaster (GB) (New Approach {Ire}) and any thoughts of a tilt at the blue riband in the process. While John Gosden was talking of Royal Ascot and the G1 St James’s Palace S. in the aftermath for the Lloyd-Webbers’ juvenile champion, Hughie Morrison was trying his best to be sensible as he pondered a supplementary entry for the June 1 Classic for the Meon Valley Stud homebred winner. Telegraphing his raw ability with a nine-length success in a 10-furlong Windsor maiden Apr. 15, Telecaster who races for the Castle Down Racing syndicate tracked Too Darn Hot’s stablemate Turgenev (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) way ahead of the remainder from the outset under Oisin Murphy. Earning the lead passing the two-furlong pole, he was threatened by the even-money favourite inside the last furlong but stayed on best to prevail by a length, with four lengths back to Surfman (GB) (Kingman {GB}) in a renewal every bit as strong as looked likely beforehand.
Taken out of the Derby in March, Telecaster would need to be added back in “Kris Kin” style and therefore Morrison was not jumping in to an instant commitment. “He’s obviously a very good horse, but the Derby is only 16 days away and so we’ll have to see how he is,” he said of the 7-1 shot, who if allowed to run in the blue riband will join the stud’s Oaks-bound Anapurna (GB) (Frankel {GB}) in the trip to Epsom. “We always thought that he had an incredible cruising speed and it was his strength that kept him going. I thought he’d gone too quick and wouldn’t get home–he had to beat Turgenev first and was being stalked by the favourite–but it looked as if we outstayed him.”
Gosden was categoric about Too Darn Hot’s next destination, leaving the Derby almost a Hughie Morrison vs Ballydoyle affair. “They set an even pace and Frankie was settling him, but he was strong and pulling being fresh on his first run of the year,” he said. “He had those two weeks walking and the lack of a race beforehand, but stamina told in the end. We came for a trial and an answer and that is very clearly that we’ll freshen him up and go for the [June 18] St James’s Palace at Royal Ascot.”
Telecaster, who was second on debut to the subsequent G3 Sandown Classic Trial winner Bangkok (Ire) (Australia {GB}) in a Doncaster maiden also at this trip, is the second foal out the stable’s G1 Epsom and Irish Oaks runner-up Shirocco Star (GB) (Shirocco {Ger}) who was also third in the G1 Pretty Polly S. and runner-up in the G2 QIPCO British Champions Fillies & Mares S. and G2 Prix de Royallieu. Buyers had an opportunity to snap him up at the 2017 Tattersalls October Book 1 Sale, but none were willing to stretch beyond 180,000gns so the famous Hampshire establishment took him back into their fold. Ironically, Shirocco Star’s first foal is the 4-year-old gelding Starcaster (GB) (Dansili {GB}) who won easily for the Jedd O’Keefe yard in the meeting’s closing 12-furlong handicap on Wednesday and it is safe to say that staying ability where the Derby trip is concerned is a cast-iron certainty.
Stamina was the stumbling block for Oisin Murphy when Roaring Lion (Kitten’s Joy) faded to be third at Epsom last year, but he was on a different type of animal here and was keen to exploit it. “I was able to use the pacemaker to my advantage and being by a Derby winner out of an Oaks second if he was in his comfort zone he was going to stay,” he said after dominating the likes of a GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf winner in Line of Duty (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), a G2 Beresford S. winner in Japan (GB)(Galileo {Ire}) and a TDN Rising Star in Turgenev. “After I rode him at Windsor I thought he was very special.” Jockey reaction was also key for the placed horses. “Too much pace,” Frankie quipped of the beaten favourite. “It was too far for him, bless him. He pulled very hard for the first four furlongs, I got him to relax and he made up some ground but the last furlong was a long way. Back to a mile.” Andrea Atzeni said of Surfman, “He ran a good race, travelled well and stayed on well.”
Shirocco Star, whose 2-year-old colt by Dubawi (Ire) was bought for 1.1million gns by Stroud Coleman Bloodstock at last year’s Tattersalls October Sale, is out of a half-sister to the G3 Tetrarch S. winner and G1 Irish 2000 Guineas runner-up France (GB) (Desert Prince {Ire}) and the listed scorer Hippy Hippy Shake (GB) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}). Her upwardly-mobile daughter Twist ‘n’ Shake (GB) (Kingman {GB}) was an impressive recent maiden winner herself and runs in the stud’s Helena Springfield silks in Friday’s Listed Michael Seeley Memorial Fillies’ S. over a mile here. They descend from one of the operation’s foundation mares Reprocolor (GB) (Jimmy Reppin {GB}), who has had a runner in the Derby in Alessandro Volta (GB) (Montjeu {Ire}), Ballydoyle’s G3 Lingfield Derby Trial winner who was sixth behind Telecaster’s sire in 2008.
