Ezanak (Sea The Stars x Ebaza, half sister to Ebadiyla (Irish Oaks winner) and Estimate (Ascot Gold Cup winner)) won a 10f maiden at Gowran Park easily today on debut by 1 1/4 lengths. He went off at even odds and he holds entries in the Irish and Epsom Derbies.

Squeeze broke her maiden in fashion yesterday for Christophe Clement and Robert S Evans. She's a 1/2 to Ocho Ocho Ocho and Private Ensign.
A filly to watch!

Between Ezanak and Harzand, Sea the Stars could have a nice group of colts this year

Yea I'm very excited to see how his colts do this year! I'm hoping we'll get a Derby winner to add to his Oaks winner!

Quite a well-bred filly.

I also find Amazing Red very handsome.

Lukas says this his next star. Take Charge Tapit, owned by Horton, family of Will Take Charge. Should debut at #CD

[Starine]

Hmmm. Couldn't find him on PedigreeQuery.

[carole]

Hmmm. Couldn't find him on PedigreeQuery.

I found a page on Equibase but his dam doesn't have any progeny reports on pedigreequery

http://www.pedigreequery.com/christie+village
On her page in her info the colt is listed


ETA: I see the relation now. The dam of Take Charge Tapit is a half sister to Take Charge Lady (dam of Take Charge Indy and Will Take Charge)

[Starine]

Hmm, curiouser still. Thanks for doing some sleuthing.

[CoronadosQuest]

Hmmm. Couldn't find him on PedigreeQuery.

http://www.pedigreequery.com/take+charge+tapit is his page of PQ

What's weird is there was also a 2001 son of Pulpit named Pontiff. Both US horses too.

What's weird is there was also a 2001 son of Pulpit named Pontiff. Both US horses too.

I thought that seemed weird, so I double-checked the naming rules. I'm not sure whether the waiting period to reuse names is shorter than it used to be or I'm misremembering, but the current rule is that names of horses over ten years old may be reused as long as they haven't been raced or bred in the last five years (and follow all other rules, of course).

2001 Pontiff was a gelding, and only raced twice in 2004. So the name would have come eligible when the second Pontiff was a yearling (or two year old, depending on how you're interpreting 'over ten years') and they pounced on it.
