+CHOREOGRAPHER (IRE) (c, 3, Sea the Stars {Ire}–Evensong {Ger} {SW-Fr & SP-Ger}, by Waky Nao {GB}), who cost €850,000 at Goffs Orby, raced a touch keen throughout the early stages but was found an ideal stalking spot under cover in third by Andrea Atzeni. Traveling sweetly to the long-time leader Rex Bell (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) with two furlongs remaining, the 9-2 shot gained the upper hand shortly after and only needed to be shown the whip to assert for a comfortable two-length verdict over that rival. “He's a lovely big horse and was very straightforward,” his rider said. “He jumped good and traveled well and I liked the way he picked up and galloped out. He's not a very easy horse to ride at home, as he loves rearing up so they've done a good job with him. I can't see why he won't get a mile and a half and he'll be better on better ground.” The dam is a listed-winning half to the German highweights Eagle Rise (Ire) (Danehill) and Eye of the Tiger (Ger) (Tiger Hill {Ire}) from the extended family of the G1 Singapore Airlines International Cup winner Epalo (Ger) (Lando {Ger}), who was also placed in the GI Man o' War S. and GI Arlington Million, and also the G2 Prix Corrida and G3 Prix Allez France winner Elopa (Ger) (Tiger Hill {Ire}). Evensong also has a 2-year-old colt by Lawman (Fr). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $4,192. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
