Pur in secondo piano rispetto alla riunione di Capannelle, il pomeriggio di Milano proponeva diverse corse di ottimo livello. Subito in apertura la prova di cartello, il Premio Ferruccio Gorni, tradizionale condizionata sui 1500 metri in pista media per puledri di belle speranze, che ha registrato la bella conferma di Cohelet, in grado di mantenere l’imbattibilità alla seconda uscita: superato Castellazzo, la portacolori della Rangio Farm allenata da Alduino Botti e oggi con in sella Ivan Rossi non si è risparmiata al comando, dettando un’andatura sostenuta che comunque non le ha impedito nel finale di trovare le energie per ribattere colpo su colpo ai tentativi di Castellazzo, che ci ha provato sino in fondo trovando però sempre la reazione della tenace rivale. Miramar Air Base e Arvier non sono riusciti a minacciare i primi due e si sono disputati la terza moneta, andata alla cavalla allenata da Luciano Vitabile, mentre So Well ha perso contatto in retta.

Esempio di regolarità, Onnessa de Nurra ha siglato meritatamente il Premio Trobiolo, l’handicap per velocisti di 3 anni sui 1200 metri. La portacolori dei signori Demelas, per il training di Eugenio Goldin, ha figurato costantemente in prima linea, passando in leggero vantaggio a metà percorso: ai 400 finali Alessandro Fiori l’ha richiesta e la figlia di Camacho, a suo agio sul terreno insidioso, ha allungato bene reagendo sino in fondo ai tentativi di Blury, buon secondo, il quale già all’ultima uscita era terminato alle spalle della rivale. Dietro i due si è piazzata la favorita Riana, senza riuscire a intervenire nel discorso-vittoria.

Forma a freccia in su per Tekedici: nel Premio Mella, l’handicap sui 1400 metri in pista dritta per cavalli di 3 anni e oltre il portacolori della Akhal Teke Properties, allenato da Mario Marcialis e montato con totale fiducia da Federico Bossa, ha fornito la migliore performance della carriera comandando dal primo metro senza mai dare possibilità ai rivali, permettendosi addirittura di rallentare nel finale tale era il vantaggio acquisito. Enigma Code ne ha seguito le mosse lungo lo steccato e a lunghezza ha conservato il piazzamento, mentre Black Canyon e Oakville hanno provato ad uscire dal gruppo e si sono disputati il terzo posto, finendo nell’ordine.

Toltasi la qualifica di maiden all’ultima uscita in un handicap sui 1600 metri, Heartofthesea ha concesso l’immediato bis nel Premio Ludovico Agosta, l’handicap sui 1800 metri sempre in pista media per cavalli di 2 anni: con Claudio Colombi in sella, il sauro del team Gonnelli ha mostrato di gradire i 200 metri in più e nella volata in dirittura ha disposto senza troppi problemi della battistrada Off Limit, che in testa aveva provato a imporre una falsa andatura: nulla da fare, Heartofthesea è passato di slancio nei 150 finali imponendosi di 4 lunghezze sulla coetanea di Stefano Botti dietro la quale Alcanto ha rimontato per il terzo posto Crooked Face, quest’ultimo in leggero calo nel finale

Dopo Cohelet e Heartofthesea, anche Mandorla ha saputo replicare il successo dell’ultima uscita imponendosi nel Premio Unione Italiana Fantini, l’handicap sui 2000 metri in pista media per cavalli di 3 anni e oltre. Con Gavino Sanna in sella, la portacolori della signora Francesca Turri (naturalmente per il training di Marco Gasparini) dalla terza posizione ha mosso appena in retta all’attacco del battistrada Pas de Chat passando in vantaggio ai 400 finali e respingendo con grinta l’attacco portato da Giausar, terminato ad un testa dalla vincitrice. Sugar Beat ha seguito la vincitrice nella progressione a metà dirittura ma ha perso un pò di mordente nei 100 finali chiudendo terzo. Più indietro King Winnie, positivo anche al salto di categoria, mentre ha deluso l’atteso Keplero, il quale si è spento presto in dirittura.

Il tempo di togliersi un pò di ruggine con la prova di rientro di due settimane fa e Pancake è tornato subito alla vittoria dominando i rivali nel Premio Gianni Cotti, l’handicap sui 1600 metri in pista media per cavalli di 3 anni e oltre. L’allievo di Cristiana Signorelli va a nozze su questi terreni, oggi ha trovato un battistrada come Amintore che da buon passista è andato via a ritmo brillante, altra cosa molto gradita: in sella al grigio, Sergio Urru si è fatto trainare sino ai 400 finali da Denaar, quindi si è lanciato all’inseguimento del battistrada coronando in breve la rimonta e passando di slancio nel finale. Amintore è andato un pò in crisi negli ultimi metri ma si è comunque salvato dal ritorno di Denaar, mentre molto più indietro Cool Climate ha concluso al quarto posto.

Pierre-Charles Boudot & Technician return to scale | Scoop Dyga

By Sean Cronin

    Team Valor’s Technician (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) posted victories at each of the lower stakes levels this term, in tandem with tackling increasing trips in his five latest starts, and went postward for Sunday’s G1 Prix Royal-Oak at ParisLongchamp returning off a win over the Bois de Boulogne venue’s same 15 1/2-furlong trip in the Oct. 5 G2 Prix Chaudenay on Arc weekend. Encountering much softer conditions than ever before here, he maintained his perfect record at the track and the in-form streak of Pierre-Charles Boudot with a hard-fought 1 1/4-length tally from last year’s G1 Prix du Cadran hero Call the Wind (GB) (Frankel {GB}) with defending champion Holdthasigreen (Fr) (Hold That Tiger), who annexed last month’s G1 Prix du Cadran, 3 1/2 lengths back in third. The 5-2 second choice had previously annexed this term’s June 13 Listed Prix Ridgway here, and the Aug. 17 G3 Geoffrey Freer S. at Newbury, and ran sixth in Doncaster’s Sept. 14 G1 St Leger in his only prior start at the highest level. Tracking the leaders in fourth until making ominous headway once into the home straight, he seized control with 300 metres remaining and was ridden out thereafter to secure a personal best in game fashion.

   “He’s developed into a really nice stayer and has been better and better with each race this term,” beamed assistant trainer Freddie Meade. “He’s been a fantastic servant to the yard this year and has gone right through the ranks from a Listed win to, now, a Group 1 win. I imagine he will stay in training, I certainly hope so, and his target will be the top staying races next year if he does. That is the plan at this stage and he’ll have a good break now.”

   Technician is one of four winners, and the leading performer, produced by a stakes-winning full-sister to G3 Give Thanks S. victress Tamarind (Ire) (Sadler’s Wells) and MGSW sire Crimson Tide (Ire) (Sadler’s Wells). The grey is full-brother to the hitherto unraced 2-year-old filly Crafty Rosa (Ire) and a yearling filly, and a half to G3 Atalanta S. third Water Hole (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}). His dam Arosa (Ire) (Sadler’s Wells), one of five stakes winners out of Sharata (Ire) (Darshaan {GB}), is also kin to GII Garden City Breeders’ Cup H. winner Pharatta (Ire) (Fairy King), herself the second dam of G1 Prix du Moulin G1 and Prix d’Ispahan hero Recoletos (Fr) (Whipper). Technician’s third dam Shademah (Ire) (Thatch), who produced G1 Epsom Derby and G1 Irish Derby-winning sire Shahrastani (Nijinsky II), is kin to GI Bowling Green H. victor Sharannpour (Ire) (Busted {GB}) and G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud victor and G1 Prix du Jockey Club runner-up Shakapour (Ire) (Kalamoun {GB}).

Areion’s Alson Prevails in Criterium Match

2nd at LCP, Gr. Stk, €250,000 G1 Criterium International (7f) Winner: Alson (Ger), c, 2 by Areion (Ger)
 

 

Alson | Scoop Dyga

By Sean Cronin

   Already shorn of G1 Dewhurst S. third Wichita (Ire) (No Nay Never), Sunday’s G1 Criterium International at ParisLongchamp was reduced to a match race when Phoenix Thoroughbred Ltd’s recent acquisition Lady Penelope (Ire) (Night of Thunder {Ire}) reared in the stalls, leaving Gestut Schlenderhan’s Alson (Ger) (Areion {Ger}) and Susan Magnier’s dual Group 1 placegetter Armory (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) to duel for Europe’s penultimate juvenile top-level event of the season. The pair were separated by a short neck when contesting the G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere over one mile at the Bois de Boulogne venue on Arc day earlier this month, but it was the Aug. 31 G3 Zukunftsrennen victor who extended his margin of superiority with a daylight score in this seven-furlong test. Armory broke well and enjoyed a slender advantage during the opening exchanges before Alson seized control and led thereafter. Untroubled throughout, the 1-2 pick was shaken up soon after passing the quarter-mile marker and lengthened ever clear before gearing down to defeat his sole rival by a facile 20 lengths.

   It was a pyrrhic victory for conditioner Jean-Pierre Carvalho, who explained, “I was informed that Gestut Schlenderhan is closing its training establishment in Germany and I won’t be training for the operation any more. There had been rumours for a while and it became official last week. The horses will be spread across trainers in France and Germany and I’ve been told Alson will be transferred to Andre Fabre, but I don’t know if that’s true or not. I shall continue training for my other clients, but I need to find a new base.” Reflecting on the winner’s performance, Carvalho continued, “It’s a great moment to win a Group 1 race and the best way for me to go out on a high note. Alson was the legitimate favourite and he obliged in style. I would have preferred more runners in the race, but I shall nonetheless savour the moment.” Winning rider Frankie Dettori, who claimed a 19th Group 1 victory of the year with the win, added, “Both horses had form from the Jean-Luc Lagardere, but I thought Armory would make it more of a contest. We had his measure by halfway and it was like a piece of exercise for my fellow in the straight. He stays well, he enjoyed the [very heavy] ground and I imagine he’ll be a horse for the [G1 Poule d’Essai des] Poulains next year.”

   Alson, one of two scorers for dual winner Assisi (Ger) (Galileo {Ire}), becomes the first Group 1 winner for his sire (by Big Shuffle) and is kin to last term’s G2 German 2000 Guineas and G2 Oettingen-Rennen hero Ancient Spirit (Ger) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), a yearling colt by Guiliani (Ire) and a 2019 colt by Holy Roman Emperor (Ire). The homebred bay’s unbeaten G1 Preis der Diana-winning second dam Amarette (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}) produced two stakes performers and is herself a full-sister to G1 Prix du Jockey Club third Arras (Ger) and a half to the stakes-winning dam of G1 Melbourne Cup and G1 H E Tancred S. hero Almandin (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}) and G2 Gerling-Preis victor Atempo (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}).
