IPPODROMO DI SIRACUSA, PARTENTI DICHIARATI PER LE CORSE DEL : 09 – 11 – 19, INIZIO RIUNIONE ORE : 14.55
Sabato di galoppo con TQQ
Sette le corse di galoppo in programma, sabato 9 novembre, all’Ippodromo del Mediterraneo di Siracusa. La prima scatterà alle 14:55 e anticipa una riuscita Condizionata sui 1200 metri di pista sabbia abbinata al Premio Olimpico. Qui, cavalli di 3 anni e oltre dovranno affrontarsi prendendo in considerazione chi sfodera qualità e chi buona forma. Dream Painter è ritornato a Siracusa per subito vincere, deve solo confermarsi. Rientra, dopo aver lasciato buoni ricordi, anche Gloriux. Accorcia poi Killach Me If U Can, che con il compagno di training My Saxy Week, possono farsi protagonisti. Ad essere temuto, però, è Peppe’s Island che colleziona in curriculum già un tris di vittorie.
La terza competizione, Premio Favorita, è una Maiden riservata ai giovanissimi cavalli di 2 anni. Ci si allunga sui 1700 metri di pista grande con almeno due punti di riferimento stabili: Mister Guida e Havana Rock. Il terzo nome è The Bull King. Per i buoni lavori mattutini invece, tra i debuttanti, si vocifera che Big Rope and Shooting to Heart siano già pronti.
La chiusura affidata al Premio Meazza che ospiterà una corsa Tris-Quarte-Quinte. 1500 metri in pista grande per i cavalli di 3 anni in una corsa che risulta alquanto aperta e dal difficile pronostico. Non si sono ancora ritrovati sia Francisca Pink che Oprincipe, di altra levatura. Scendono in contesti meno competitivi. Una chance va data a Quiet Grey e un’altra a Thesan, che su distanza un po’ più lunga, potrebbe bissare la vittoria dell’esordio. Thorin cerca ancora tempi migliori e punterà sulla sua buona qualità. Attenzione a Dance de Guerre che è mina vagante della corsa; specie per chi la ricorda ancora capace di quella brillante vittoria alla prima uscita siracusana.

Classic Hero Flag of Honour to National Stud
Flag of Honour | Racing Post
Classic winner Flag of Honour (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}–Hawala {Ire}, by Warning {GB}), who won the G1 Irish St. Leger in 2018, will retire to the National Stud for 2020. A fee for the former Aidan O’Brien/Coolmore partnership runner will be announced later. Bred by Barronstown Stud, the February-foaled colt won the G3 Eyrefield S. as a juvenile and rattled off three-straight victories in the G2 Curragh Cup and G3 Ballycullen Irish St. Leger Trial immediately prior to the St. Leger in 2018. Kept in training as a 4-year-old, he ran with credit to take second in three more group stakes, including the G1 Tattersalls Gold Cup in May. He retires with a mark of 16-5-3-1 and $725,244 in earnings.
“We are delighted to offer Flag of Honour as a dual purpose prospect on behalf of Mr. Trevor Hemmings’s Gleadhill House Stud,” said National Stud Director Tim Lane. “He ticks a lot of the right boxes for breeders; he is a Group 1 Classic-winning son of the great Galileo, and had the speed to win at group level as a 2-year old before developing into a high-class 3- and 4-year old. He showed tremendous class, toughness and consistency throughout his career. We feel there is definitely a gap in the market in Britain for a horse of his calibre.”
Added trainer Aidan O’Brien, “Flag of Honour was a very tough and genuine horse that handled all types of ground.”
Out of the winning Hawala, Flag of Honour is a half-brother to G3 Minstrel S. victor and G1 Phoenix S. runner-up Air Chief Marshal (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}); MSW & GSP Slip Dance (Ire) (Celtic Swing {GB})–the granddam of MSW & GISP Awesome Tank (GB) (Intense Focus); MSW Misu Bond (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) and G1SP Foxtrot Romeo (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}). This is the extended family of G1 Italian Derby hero Houmayoun (Fr) (Shernazar {Ire}).
Saudi Cup Next for Midnight Bisou
Midnight Bisou | Sarah Andrew
By Bill Finley
Jeff Bloom doesn’t need any more time to decide what’s next for his star filly Midnight Bisou (Midnight Lute). She’s headed to Saudi Arabia.
Bloom, whose Bloom Racing Stable partnership owns Midnight Bisou along with partners Madaket Stables and Allen Racing, told the TDN that Midnight Bisou will not run in the GI Pegasus World Cup and will instead make her next start in the $20-million Saudi Cup. The inaugural running of what will be the world’s richest race is set for Feb. 29.
“We’re going to start things off in 2020 in the Saudi Cup, the $20-million race,” Bloom said. “It’s as set in stone as anything can be. That’s our plan, for her to make her next start in that race.”
When asked why they decided not to kick off Midnight Bisou’s campaign closer to home in Gulfstream’s $9-million Pegasus World Cup, Bloom replied: “We probably don’t want to do both, the Pegasus and the Saudi Cup. This gives her a little more time to freshen up and it’s a pretty big pot we’re going after there. We love the fact that the Saudi Cup is a one-turn mile-and-an-eighth. It should be right up her alley.”
Just a few days ago, Bloom was looking to move on from Midnight Bisou, as she was entered in the Fasig-Tipton November Sale. On Saturday, only a few hours before Midnight Bisou was set to start in the GI Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff, Bloom announced via Twitter that the filly was being withdrawn from the sale and would stay in training in 2020 for her current owners.
“Having the Saudi Cup out there certainly didn’t hurt,” he said. “But that wasn’t the overriding factor. It came down to [the fact that] it’s pretty darn hard to get yourself a horse like this and we realized that. She’s only four. She’s a young filly. We felt as long as she enjoys her job why not enjoy the ride a little bit longer. She’ll still have her residual value. We’re just postponing things a bit. Eventually, she will sell to be a broodmare. It really came down to the fact that she’s just such a remarkable race horse. We love racing and that’s why we’re in it. We figured, ‘Why not? Let’s do it again.’”
Midnight Bisou, who was second in the Distaff, has never raced against males, but Bloom feels she is good enough to handle the boys.
“It’s not something that we’ve skirted away from,” he said. “It’s just that the timing is right now, with a $20-million race out there. She’s an exceptional filly, an exceptional race horse. She’s up to the challenge.”
Some horses that race in the Saudi Cup will likely head from there to Dubai for the $12-million G1 Dubai World Cup Mar. 28. While not ruling out a start in Dubai, Bloom said the focus for now is solely on the race in Saudi Arabia.
“We haven’t thought much about what the rest of the journey will be,” he said. “When it’s the right time, [trainer] Steve [Asmussen] and I will talk it over. Right now we’re just focused on the Saudi Cup.”
