I 5 mesi di assenza dalle piste non hanno impedito a Ilnassa di ritrovare il successo in questa sua prova di rientro. Il cavallo allenato da Marinella Arienti e montato dal giovane allievo Paolo Murino dopo partenza prudente è avanzato tra i cavalli, è passato in vantaggio ai 250 finali e si è difeso dal ritorno di Magic Pako, in prima linea sin dal via. Knoxville Bullet lungo lo steccato ha partecipato alla frazione conclusiva ma ha chiuso al 3° posto, di poco davanti ad una cresciuta My Crystal

KEY TO MY HEART (IRE) (f, 3, Galileo {Ire}–A Z Warrior {GISW-US, $286,906}, by Bernardini), who hit the board going one mile at Leopardstown last time Oct. 23, broke well and led from the outset racing in first-time blinkers here. In command throughout and holding a healthy buffer turning for home, the 11-4 second choice was shaken up at the quarter-mile marker and stayed on well under continued urging in the latter stages to deny stablemate Puppetshow (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) by 2 1/2 lengths.
“The blinkers sharpened her up a bit as she’s a bit laid back at home and she did it well,” said winning jockey Ana O’Brien. “We went a nice gallop, she stays well and kept going.” The second-highest lot through the ring when knocked down for a whopping 1,300,000gns at Tattersalls October 1 sale in 2015, she is out of GI Frizette S. heroine and GI Santa Anita Oaks third A Z Warrior (Bernadini), and is a full-sister to a 2-year-old filly, herself a 750,000gns TATOCT purchase last year. A Z Warrior is out of the four-times stakes-placed Carson Jen (Carson City) and is kin to three black-type performers, namely MGSW GI Cotillion S. third Jojo Warrior (Pioneerof the Nile), GSW GI King’s Bishop S. third E Z Warrior (Exploit) and MSW J Z Warrior (Harlan’s Holiday). Lifetime Record: 6-1-1-3, $17,469.

War Secretary was a May 22 debut seventh, in a six-furlong Curragh maiden featuring subsequent G1 Vincent O’Brien National S. and G1 Dewhurst S. winner Churchill (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), and graduated when upped one panel over this course and distance in his juvenile season closer last time Oct. 26. Asserting for control after the initial exchanges of this sophomore return, he came under pressure when threatened just inside the quarter-mile marker and kept on gamely under a power drive in the closing stages to claim a first black-type rosette. “He has been working nicely at home and we were hoping he would win,” revealed winning rider Seamus Heffernan. “Like all of them, we are hoping he will improve plenty for the run and is a likeable sort.”
War Secretary is the first stakes scorer out of MGSW GI Spinster S. third Upperline (Maria’s Mon), herself a half-sister to dual stakes winner Snow Fall (War Front), and is kin to the 2-year-old filly by Snowfire (Tapit). Upperline was bred back to War Front last year. His granddam is G1 Nassau S. second Snowflake (Ire) (Caerleon), who is a daughter of G1 Oaks d’Italia heroine Ivyanna (Ire) (Reference Point {GB}), who in turn is a half-sister to G1 Fillies’ Mile third Iviza (Ire) (Sadler’s Wells) out of a half to GI Santa Anita Derby-winning sire An Act (Pretense).

Oh So Easy For Redoute’s Choice Blueblood At Nottingham

VALCARTIER (IRE) (c, 3, Redoute’s Choice {Aus}–Vadawina {Ire} {G1SW-Fr, $267,195}, by Unfuwain), a €950,000 ARAUG yearling whose dam was the winner of the G1 Prix Saint-Alary, had finished only eighth when sent off the joint-favourite for a seven-furlong maiden at Doncaster in October and showed what a turnaround he had made over the winter by breaking smartly and grabbing the early lead. Lengthening in mid-straight, the 11-4 market leader had all rivals beaten passing the two-furlong pole and with the race in safe keeping was allowed to lope to the line for a bloodless 3 3/4-length win from Endless Gold (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}).
Vadawina, who suffered a career-ending injury after disappointing when only fourth as the main threat to Divine Proportions (Kingmambo) in the 2005 G1 Prix de Diane, has proven a potent force in the breeding sheds. Her 2008 son Vadamar (Fr) (Dalakhani {Ire}), GSW-Fr & G1SP-Ity, was successful in the G2 Prix du Conseil de Paris, while four years later she produced Vedouma (Fr) also by Dalakhani who captured the Listed Prix Isonomy and was second in the G3 Prix Vanteaux and then Vedevani (Fr) (Dubawi {Ire}) who placed second in the G3 Prix des Chenes. Vadawina’s half-sister Vazira (Fr) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) also took the G1 Prix Saint-Alary, while her dual group-winning half-sibling Vadapolina (Fr) (Trempolino) is now the dam of the G1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches runner-up Veda (Fr) (Dansili {GB}).
Opportunities to acquire such a regally-bred individual from an established Aga Khan dynasty are rare and Valcartier was the fourth highest-priced yearling at the 2015 Arqana August Sale. Sires in his pedigree include the G1 Prix d’Ispahan and G1 Queen Anne S. hero Valixir (Ire), the GI Breeders’ Cup Mile winner Val Royal (Fr) and last year’s G1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp winner Vadamos (Fr) (Monsun {Ger}). Vadawina has visited Galileo (Ire) for the past two years and it has resulted in a 2-year-old colt and yearling filly. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $4,041.
