QAZYNA (IRE), f, 3, by Frankel (GB)
1st Dam: First (GB) (SW-Fr), by Highest Honor (Fr)
2nd Dam: Pushy (GB), by Sharpen Up (GB)
3rd Dam: Mrs. Moss (GB), by Reform (GB)
Qazyna, who was a major eye-catcher when third on debut over a mile at Yarmouth in October, attracted strong support into 6-4 favouritism and travelled strongly in second. Cruising to the front with over two furlongs remaining, the homebred was allowed to ease her way downhill and when asked to stretch by Andrea Atzeni powered away to win impressively by 3 1/2 lengths from Feline Groovy (Kitten’s Joy). Award Winning (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), the 720,000gns TATFOA half-sister to Royal Bench (Ire) (Whipper), Memphis Tennessee (Ire) (Hurricane Run {Ire}) and Mayhem (Ire) (Whipper), was slowly away and never threatened in sixth. The useful winning dam, who has so far produced four black-type performers headed by the G2 Zipping Classic winner Au Revoir (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}) and MSW and MGSP Perfect Stride (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), was bought as an important part of the dispersal of the historic Bloomsbury Stud by Charlie Gordon-Watson for 1.1million gns for Nurlan Bizakov at the 2010 Tattersalls December Sale. The second dam is the Queen Mary S. and Cornwallis S. winner Pushy, a half-sister to the Japan Cup winner Jupiter Island (GB) and G2 Gimcrack S.-winning sire Precocious (GB) whose daughter Myself (GB) (Nashwan) captured the G3 Nell Gwyn S. This excellent family also features the G2 Duke of York S. winner Glass Office (GB) (Verglas {Ire}) and another Nell Gwyn scorer in Thrilling Day (GB) (Groom Dancer), who also took the GIII Jenny Wiley S. First’s 2-year-old filly by Mastercraftsman (Ire) is named Qamka (GB). Unraced in Great BritaiLifetime Record: 2-1-0-1, $10,132.

Slade Power Gets Off the Mark At HQ

STRINGS OF LIFE (GB) (f, 2, Slade Power {Ire}–Nashama {Ire}, by Pivotal {GB}), sent off the 2-1 joint-favourite, tracked the hard pace racing freely initially. Taken to the inner approaching the final furlong, the homebred picked up to take command 75 yards out and score by a half length from Kadiz (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}). In doing so, she provided her Kildangan Stud-based first-season sire (by Dutch Art {GB}) with a first winner. “She’s done that nicely–I have two Slade Powers and they are both lovely, natural 2-year-olds,” trainer Charlie Appleby said. “I thought she was a bit behind for a while, but she’s just very natural and is entitled to come forward a good bit for this. She’s not the biggest in the world and I thought ‘she’s going to have to be early’, but she’s really strengthened well recently and had done a nice bit of work at home. We’ll try to map a plan towards Royal Ascot, as she’s a sharp ‘now’ filly and five is probably her game at the moment.” The dam, who also has a yearling filly by Iffraaj (GB), is out of the G2 Prix de Sandringham third Lurina (Ire) (Lure) whose sire son Centennial (Ire) (Dalakhani {Ire}) captured the G2 Great Voltigeur S. and G3 Sandown Classic Trial. This is the family of Alligatrix (Alleged), whose descendant include Croco Rouge (Ire) (Rainbow Quest), Taipan (Ire) (Last Tycoon {Ire}), Ali-Royal (Ire) (Royal Academy), Sleepytime (Ire) (Royal Academy) and also Wednesday’s G3 Nell Gwyn S. runner-up Altyn Orda (Ire) (Kyllachy {GB}).

Dubawi’s Soliloquy Impresses In the Nell Gwyn

Soliloquy | Racing Post
By Tom Frary
Godolphin already have a live 1000 Guineas contender in TDN Rising Star Wild Illusion (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), but they now have another by that remarkable sire in Soliloquy (GB) who belied inexperience to make all under William Buick in Wednesday’s G3 Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn S. at Newmarket. Sent off the 4-1 joint-second favourite with positive vibes emanating from the town, the bay homebred was a touch free initially in a slender lead. Pressed by the other joint-second favourite Altyn Orda (Ire) (Kyllachy {GB}) running down into the “dip”, the mile Ascot novice stakes winner pulled away to score comfortably by 1 3/4 lengths. Charlie Appleby, who worked last year’s G1 Prix Marcel Boussac heroine Wild Illusion before racing, is likely to head into the May 6 mile Classic double-handed now. “I was confident after I watched Wild Illusion at lunchtime, as they had been doing some nice work together,” he explained. “Physically, she has done well from two to three and is a smart filly. She’s not in the [1000] Guineas, but obviously I’ll speak to Sheikh Mohammed and I see no reason why not to supplement her. She has only really come in the last three to four weeks, but has really turned the corner. I had thought originally that going further than a mile would suit, but since the early spring she has got stronger and showed plenty of speed there. She could go the Guineas route first and work from there.”
Soliloquy began her career with a runner-up placing over this trip on the July Course in August before making all over a mile and denying the useful Sheikha Reika (Fr) (Shamardal) at Ascot shortly after. Despite the obvious potential displayed there, she was just one of several from the stable who had Classic pretensions but there was a strong word for her in the lead-up to this vital prep which has not been won by a subsequent 1000 Guineas heroine since Speciosa (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) in 2006. Jockey William Buick was taken by the performance and may have a quandary on his hands now. “That was a nice performance. She had been pleasing Charlie and everyone at home since early in the year and she couldn’t have done much more,” he said. “She was going at her own pace and handled the track well.” Altyn Orda’s trainer Roger Varian was taking real positives out of the runner-up’s performance. “That was a great run,” he said. “She was rusty in the middle of the race and then came up the hill strong. I think it was quite a strong trial and was impressed by the winner. I’m sure there she will improve for the run and will stay a mile. Provided she comes out of this okay, that was a strong enough run to have a look at the 1000.”
A product of an Australian family, Soliloquy is out of the dual stakes-winning and G1 Myer Classic Empire Rose S.-placed Dysphonia (Aus) (Lonhro {Aus}) whose family includes the G1 Holden Thorndon Mile hero Sir Kinloch (NZ) (Rhythm). She also has a 2-year-old colt by Dansili (GB) named Burj (GB) and a yearling colt by Golden Horn (GB).
