+MYTHICAL MAGIC (IRE) (c, 2, Iffraaj {GB}–Mythie {Fr}, by Octagonal {NZ}), who was coltish during the preliminaries, lobbed along in a prominent second for most of this first go. Shaken up to launch his bid inside the two pole, the 11-8 chalk challenged entering the final eighth and was ridden out to comfortably assert by 2 1/4 lengths from No I'm Easy (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}). The 140,000gns TATFOA foal becomes the sixth scorer produced by Mythie (Fr) (Octagonal {NZ}) and he is a half-brother to G3 Nell Gwyn S. victress Esentepe (Ire) (Oratorio {Ire}) and a yearling filly by Invincible Spirit (Ire). Mythie is a winning half to Listed Prix Saraca winner Mytographie (Fr) (Anabaa), herself the dam of Listed Prix de Pontarme victor Mutin (Fr) (Kentucky Dynamite), from a family which includes stakes-winning GI Sword Dancer Invitational third L'Hermine (GB) (Slip Anchor {GB}). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $16,267. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
