Cappella Sansevero’s First Winner a Rising Star at Haydock
| 2nd at HAY, Cond, £10,000 | British Stallion Studs EBF Novice S. | (6f) | Winner: Pierre Lapin (Ire), c, 2 by Cappella Sansevero (GB) |
Pierre Lapin | Racing Post
Freshman sire Cappella Sansevero (GB)(Showcasing {GB}) had yet to hit the target with any of his 60-strong initial crop, but the Bridge House Stud resident got off the mark in sensational style when Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum’s 140,000gns Tattersalls’ October Book 1 purchase Pierre Lapin (Ire) bounded to ‘TDN Rising Stardom’ in Friday’s British Stallion Studs EBF Novice S. at Haydock. The even-money pick was steadied within range of the front rank and overcame an awkward moment crossing an early path in this debut. Making notable headway under cover once past halfway, he was squeezed for room approaching the quarter-mile marker and stamped his authority on the six-furlong contest once quickening to the fore with 150 yards remaining, powering clear unhindered in the closing stages to outclass Visible Charm (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) by a hugely impressive 3 1/2 lengths.
Pierre Lapin becomes the third scorer for Beatrix Potter (Ire) (Cadeaux Genereux {GB}) and the bay is kin to G1 July Cup and G1 Sprint Cup hero Harry Angel (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) and a yearling filly by Dark Angel (Ire). Beatrix Potter is out of the stakes-placed Great Joy (Ire) (Grand Lodge) and thus a half to dual G1 Champions Mile-winning sire Xtension (Ire) (Xaar {GB}) and Listed Prix de Bonneval second A Huge Dream (Ire) (Refuse To Bend {Ire}), who in turn produced last term’s Listed Lansdown Fillies’ S. and Listed Polonia S. victress Mrs Gallagher (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}). Beatrix Potter shares her unraced second dam Cheese Soup (Spectacular Bid) with G1 National S. runner-up and stakes-winning sire Wathab (Ire) (Cadeaux Genereux {GB}).
2nd-Haydock, £10,000, Cond, 5-24, 2yo, 6fT, 1:14.01, g/f.

IPPODROMO DEL MEDITERRANEO, SIRACUSA, PARTENTI DICHIARATI PER LE CORSE DEL : 25 – 05 – 19, INIZIO RIUNIONE ORE : 15.20
Condizionata alla portata della scuderia Cuschieri
Il galoppo, di scena sabato 25 maggio all’Ippodromo del Mediterraneo di Siracusa, volge lo sguardo verso il Premio Ellidiano. La condizionata potrebbe essere appannaggio di Mark Cuschieri. Stanno bene i suoi due pupilli di scuderia Kylach Me If U Can e Espoir Bere, cui assegniamo le prime chance. La seconda alternativa va all’Alca Torre di Canicarao, che punta soprattutto su Domestich Heart, anche se non nega stima a Laguna Drive. La sorpresa potrebbe fornirla Sharming Girl se si ricordasse delle potenzialità espresse, un anno fa, sulla pista siracusana. A escludere il buon Siciliano Bello si farebbe un torto, poi. Tutti in corsa dunque!
Apertura delle corse al galoppo alle ore 15:20, con una reclamare difficile da pronosticare perché frequentata da cavalli di 2 anni con pochi riferimenti. Si punta sull’ospite Amadigi.
Numeroso il campo partenti del Premio Emanuela Ben, che chiuderà il convegno alle ore 18:10. Qui, valgono una categoria superiore Charlie The Lad, Oh So Touchy, Da non Credere, mentre potrebbero esprimersi al meglio My Girl Ele e Madammento. L’indiziata speciale è Bellagianlu che a Siracusa non ha mancato di farsi protagonista già in due competizioni.

KOREA, Seoul Saturday: Race-By-Race Preview (May 25)by gyongmaman |
It’s turned warm across the Korean peninsula the past couple of days with temperatures nudging into the 30′s for the first time this year. There are 11 races at Seoul on Saturday from 10:45 to 18:00:
Race 1: Class 6 (1200M) Allowance / KRW 24 Million
Weak but competitive maiden to open with. We’ll go with (12) KOOKA CAT to defy the widest gate and claims the spoils. Having won a trial in March, he beat a couple of these on is way to 5th place on debut four weeks ago and looks to have the most potential for quick improvement. (4) DALLYEORA SOKBO was a significantly improved 4th on his latest outing three weeks ago and can continue his progress here while (10) WONDEFUL MARINE and (11) QUEEN STREET have both hinted at some ability and can win money in this type of company. (5) SIMON QUEEN steps up in trip for the first time and the jockey booking will have some taking note.
| Selections | (12) Kooka Cat (4) Dallyeora Sokbo (10) Wonderful Marine (5) Simon Queen |
| Next Best | 11, 8 |
| Fast Start | 2, 3, 7, 10 |
Race 2: Class 6 (1000M) Allowance / KRW 40 Million
The first two-year-old of the season is spotted here although (1) GAGANA didn’t offer much in his trial and won’t be fancied in this maiden. (4) SAMAE JILJU is the most experienced in this field and accordingly is the one to beat. She was a close at hand 4thlast start and won’t need to improve very much to win this. (5) SINGSING JANGSU offered little on debut all the way back in January but was competent and fast, albeit on a wet track, in a trial at the end of April and will be expected to go much better today. (8) AUSPICE was a touch disappointing on his debut in March but previously trialled well and should have come on for the experience. (9) CUPID YEOWANG has a2nd place to her name already and can’t be completely overlooked while of the first-time starters, (12) GEUMA IMPECCABLE looks the pick.
| Selections | (4) Samae Jilju (8) Auspice (5) Singsing Jangsu (12) Geuma Impeccable |
| Next Best | 9, 1 |
| Fast Start | 2, 4, 6, 8 |
Race 3: Class 6 (1000M) Allowance / KRW 40 Million
(5) VICTORY MAY has a 4th and a 2nd in two starts so far, both at this distance. She led for much of her latest outing on April 13th only to be taken down late by a good winner and should have too much for this field. (8) CAPTAIN BEST was poor on debut on a wet track to the extent that he was sent back to trial. He came through that rather well and can improve today. Of the debut-makers, (2) BISAYEON looks the pick. While his half-siblings have been ordinary, to say the least, he looked good trialling in April and can go well in this modest company first-up. (9) NONSTOP HAENGJIN and (10) COLORS WING are others in the hunt.
| Selections | (5) Victory May (2) Bisayeon (8) Captain Best (9) Nonstop Haengjin |
| Next Best | 10, 1 |
| Fast Start | 2, 5, 8, 12 |
Race 4: Class 6 (1300M) Allowance / KRW 40 Million
Maiden fillies only. (8) TO THE VICTORY has been getting closer and was 3rd last time out on a muddy track at this distance on April 28th. She only needs a top three finish to be up in class next time and she can exit the bottom level of racing with a win here. (3) HWANGGEUM STAR overcame a poor start to run an improved 5th on what was just her second appearance last month. She can continue to improve today, while (9) MYEONGMA JILJU drops back in trip following two goes around 1700M. She ran 2nd in the first of those but weakened in the wet last time and may be suited more by today’s test. Of the two debut-makers, (2) WHITE QUEEN is from and in-form stable and looked capable in trials.
| Selections | (8) To The Victory (3) Hwanggeum Star (9) Myeongma Jilju (2) White Queen |
| Next Best | 5, 7 |
| Fast Start | 2, 5, 8 |
Race 5: Class 5 (1300M) Handicap / KRW 40 Million
(2) INDY LADY enters in good form, specifically her latest effort when she ran a close 2ndin a good race over class and distance having led for much of the way around. From gate 2 she should be on pace again and under visiting jockey Seo Seung-un, can win. (1) GEOTAP and (12) SEMYEONG STORM are both up in class having registered maiden wins on their respective latest outings. The latter looks significantly better equipped for this level and while he will need to overcome the outside gate, can be a big danger. (3) JEONGSANG MANSE and (4) TAEPUNG EYES are both experienced at this level and… Read more of this post
