First Winner For Rajsaman At Deauville

1st-DVL, €25,000, Mdn, 5-16, 2yo, 5fT, 1:00.84, gd.

+RAJELINE (FR) (f, 2, Rajsaman {Fr}–Tengeline {Fr}, by Cardoun {Fr}), a €20,000 OSLATE yearling, broke in the second rank and stalked the pace racing a shade keenly through the early stages of this unveiling. Pushed along just inside the two pole, the 77-5 chance was angled wide to deliver her challenge approaching the final furlong and ran on strongly under whipless rousting to prevail by a short neck from So Hoity Toity (GB) (Harbour Watch {Ire}). Rajeline becomes the first winner for her La Cauviniere-based freshman sire (by Linamix {Fr}), and the second for dam Tengeline (Fr) (Cardoun {Fr}), a winning half to dual stakes winner Gris Tendre (Fr) (Slickly {Fr}). Slickly is also the sire of Tengeline's as yet unnamed yearling filly. The winner's third dam, Une Pensee (Fr) (Kenmare {Fr}), is also the granddam of leading stayer Meandre (Fr) (Slickly {Fr}), whose four top-level victories include the G1 Grand Prix de Paris and G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, €12,500. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
