Les Grands Trois

Fresh off a professional four-furlong move in :48 1/5 over this track July 14, the $220,000 KEESEP yearling was backed down to 6-5 favoritism for this career bow. Up to contest the early leaders, the dark bay strode to the front after a half mile in :46.09 and was well in front with a furlong...

Teofilo (Ire)

This maiden has produced some decent performers in recent times and was won 12 months ago by the smart stakes performer Heliostatic (Ire). Hailing from the same barn this time was Teofilo, but the presence of the Ballydoyle newcomer Red Rock Canyon (Ire) (Rock of Gibraltar {Ire}) overshadowed all else and he was sent off...

Visionario (Ire)

Visionario arrived at the track with such a reputation that he was hammered into 3-10 favoritism at the tills and never gave supporters a moment's worry as he laid down an impressive marker for the future. Reserved in midfield after an adequate break, the crowd's choice inched closer to the pace upon passing halfway. Seizing...

Magical Ride

Victory Ride, winner of the GI Test S. in 2001, debuted with a 14 1/4-length victory that season, and while her first foal to race, Magical Ride, failed to post as dominant a margin, the effort was most impressive. Sent off the 3-1 second choice, the dark bay filly jumped extremely well and showed the...

Hamoody

Despite the presence of some experienced colts in this line-up, the buzz was all for Hamoody and he was sent off the 2-1 crowd's choice in the race won in the past by Mujahid and Daggers Drawn. Rank off the moderate early tempo, he was still pulling at halfway and only settled when the pace...

Grand Vista (GB)

Grand Vista's June 19 debut success in a newcomers' event at Chantilly impressed to such a degree that punters hammered the selection into 3-10 at the tills for this comeback. That faith was rewarded in no uncertain terms as the Juddmonte colorbearer impressed once more to remain unbeaten. Up to lead from the get-go, the...

Getaway (Ger)

Getaway is the latest product of Baron Georg von Ullmann's ascendant sire Monsun and he showed promise straightaway when runner-up at Longchamp Apr. 30. Off the mark in comfortable fashion at Saint-Cloud last time May 24, the homebred was hammered down to 1-2 to extend his tally and raced up with the early speed. Taking...

E Z Warrior

Pounded down to 1-2 favoritism off of a string of sharp works, the $100,000 OBSAUG yearling and $1,200,000 BESMAR juvenile got of a step slow, but didn't waste any time getting to the front. In full flight turning for home, the dark bay was in complete command late, winning by 1 3/4 lengths over Belknap...

Alderney

Alderney justified an entry in the Aug. 27 G1 Moyglare Stud S. with an imposing performance in this debut. Finding cover in fifth from the bell, the 11-4 chance was angled wide for her run with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining. Swooping for the lead soon after, the bay was ridden clear with a minimum of...

Divine Right (GB)

Divine Right, a 100,000gns TATOCT yearling, emerged from Manton with a reputation and was duly sent off the 7-2 choice. Breaking well and showing early speed to race prominently, she took command at halfway and, despite jockey Jimmy Fortune dropping his whip in the closing stages, drew away to record a convincing 3½-length success from...

Reunite (Ire)

Reunite received favorable mention from Godolphin Racing Manager Simon Crisford in the spring, but was forced to wait until the doors of the Godolphin barn reopened after a self-imposed shutdown to make this belated seasonal bow. Returning from a back-end maiden win here Nov. 2, the half to Anabaa Blue (GB) (Anabaa), G1SW-Fr, $715,149, exploded...

Chagall

Chagall looked promising enough at the FTFFEB sale earlier this year to attract a final bid of $825,000, and went postward as the 4-5 favorite here in her career opener. Hustled up from post 10, the Florida-bred bay assumed command turning for home and fended off a valiant Seaside Affair (Sea of Secrets) for a...
