It had been a long time since Marcus Tregoning has enjoyed success in a prestige race with a Shadwell representative, but the past handler of the likes of Nayef (Gulch) and Mubtaker (Silver Hawk) ended the wait on Saturday as Mohaather (GB) (Showcasing {GB}) registered a 33-1 upset in Newbury's G3 Horris Hill S. Largely ignored coming off a narrow success in a six-furlong novice contest at Nottingham Oct. 10, the relative of this year's G1 Queen Anne S. hero Accidental Agent (GB) (Delegator {GB}) was tucked in behind all rivals from his outside draw by Martin Dwyer as Azano (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) set out his stall in front. Creeping closer from halfway, the bay reeled in the long-time leader with 150 yards remaining and was pushed out to record an ultimately comfortable 1 1/2-length success, with five lengths back to Almufti (GB) (Toronado {Ire}) in third.
Mohaather, whose other start resulted in a debut second to Saturday's Listed Doncaster S. third Breath Of Air (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}) over six at this venue Sept. 21, is the last known foal out of the listed-placed Roodeye (GB) (Inchinor {GB}). Her finest is the four-times graded-stakes winning Prize Exhibit (GB) from another mating with Showcasing, while she is also the second dam of the aforementioned Accidental Agent. The second dam Roo (GB) (Rudimentary) was also listed-placed and boasts a total of five black-type performers including the G1 Prix Morny runner-up Gallagher (GB) (Bahamian Bounty {GB}). Roo, who is kin to the G2 Gimcrack S. scorer Bannister (GB) (Inchinor {GB}), is also connected to the G1 Middle Park S. hero Astaire (Ire) (Intense Focus) and the G1 Cheveley Park S. heroine Dead Certain (GB) (Absalom {GB}).
