2yo filly 8. CAL FRAGRANCE (California Chrome x Right There (Eskendereya)) finished 7th in this race, first Japan runner for California Chrome, who is now owned and based in Japan
CAL FRAGRANCE was second last turning / widest runner in the straight, ran home quite well.

Galileo and Hveger (Danehill) have produced three fine-looking, high-quality boys. I wonder if she has any more foals by Coolmore's great stallion waiting in the wings?

IIRC, the Ballysax is now a Kentucky Derby qualifier. Any chance Coolmore might be considering Nobel Prize for that race on the 1st Saturday in September?

I think Monarch of Egypt was their Derby hopeful from the Ballysax, and he could only manage a fifth-place finish.BaroqueAgain1 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 12, 2020 4:19 pm IIRC, the Ballysax is now a Kentucky Derby qualifier.

Galileos don’t do dirt, so I’d be surprised if they took the KD route with Nobel Prize. But it’s Coolmore, so anything is possible.

The fact that Monarch of Egypt had originally been given entries in the 7f Prix Jean Prat and the 6f July Cup, both over turf last weekend, then was rerouted to the Ballysax over 1 5/16 miles on synthetic... it just seemed like a last ditch effort to see if he had any chance to be a Derby/dirt horse, which he isnt.
I’d look for him to hit the board next time runs over turf at 7f or less. He has been screaming for a cutback in distance with a semblance of a clean run. His 3 y/o debut over a mile in the Irish 2,000 Guineas was just one big traffic jam, and he ran really well in the 7f Jersey at Ascot, finishing 2nd.

In reality, he just doesnt seem to have the turn of foot needed to win on turf at the top level in Europe at any distance. One of the reasons he always seems to be stuck in traffic is that he is not fast enough to get through a hole before it closes. Last year, if he had been a top tier horse, he should have beaten Siskin in the Phoenix because the latter had the worst of the track that day.Northport wrote: ↑Mon Jul 13, 2020 12:27 pm The fact that Monarch of Egypt had originally been given entries in the 7f Prix Jean Prat and the 6f July Cup, both over turf last weekend, then was rerouted to the Ballysax over 1 5/16 miles on synthetic... it just seemed like a last ditch effort to see if he had any chance to be a Derby/dirt horse, which he isnt.

Qous - c. 2017 - Dubawi x Treve, by Motivator, won today at Chantilly over 10 1/2f on his 2nd start, after finishing 5th in his debut last month. Didn't win by a huge margin, but one tap of the whip sealed the deal.

Moving Light - c. 2017 Night of Thunder X North East Bay, by Prospect Bay (half to Dubai World Cup winner Prince Bishop) made a nice debut at Leicester today, despite some greenness. Owned by Godolphin, trained by Saeed Bin Suroor, he was an €180,000 purchase at Tattersalls Ireland September 2018.

Night of Thunder is really looking like he could be the next big thing in Europe.

He gets taken from the Jacksons via a claim, then goes on to become a GI winner!! Good for him, and bless Pussycat's heart!!
