From the Blood-Horse:

Saturday's graded stakes action kicked off with well-bred Faufiler's 1 1/4-length win in the $125,000 Modesty Handciap (gr. IIIT). The 5-year-old daughter of Galileo out of European champion and Breeders' Cup Mile (gr. IT) victress Six Perfections earned an automatic berth into the Beverly D. (gr. IT) for fillies and mares Aug. 13 Million card. She is a Niarchos family homebred.

With Jose Valdivia Jr. riding for trainer Graham Motion, Faufiler was timed in 1:56.12 for 1 3/16 miles on turf. Previously campaigned is France where she won two stakes and placed twice at the group III level, she won for the second time in six U.S. starts that include her victory in the Sand Springs Stakes in February at Gulfstream Park followed by a second in the Royal Heroine (gr. IIT).

M/L suggests he's well meant, but the family hasn't done much lately, alas.

Ouija Board's 3yo Frontiersman (Dubawi) just beat Al Kazeem's half-brother Makzeem (Mafki) in a maiden at Newmarket.

Ah finally! Very happy to see this and dunno how I missed it up until now!

Today at Leopardstown, a pair of 2YO War Front colts finished 1-2 in a maiden. Both are owned by Coolmore.

Sportsmanship won. He is a son of Wild Poppy (El Prado x Flanders). Second, and flying late, was Courage Under Fire (half to Take Charge Brandi).

Watch here (they're rather green ): http://www.attheraces.com/atrplayer-rep ... VOD/946507

M/L suggests he's well meant, but the family hasn't done much lately, alas.

Long Island Sound has done decently. Ran third at Royal Ascot to Hawkbill and was just 2 1/4L behind Deauville last weekend, he's out of De Coronado's half-sister Treasure Trail. The family also has She's Not Here at the stakes level (running in the Yellow Ribbon this weekend) but she's kind of tailed off this year.

[BaroqueAgain1]

The challenge of getting some of the Vertigineux's to the track is that it requires some serious patience; Zen, Ebby and, now, De Coronado, have all been really tall, late-maturing horses. IIRC, O'Brien said DC is the largest horse he's ever trained.
I hope his patience pays off tomorrow...and I also hope that TVG will show the races from the Curragh.

[Starspangled]

A promising run, and not necessarily a win, is what is expected of De Coronado today. Aidan likes to bring them along gently and he doesn't mind his horses being beaten first time out, he has already said that 'he will come on a ton' for his first run.

Ran in a G3 today at the Curragh, was 4th.

He finished 9th of 12.

[Starspangled]

He was never put in the race, carrying a lot of condition. He was just out for a canter today, Aidan said as much just before the race.

[BaroqueAgain1]

I'm not sure I would describe De Coronado's run as 'promising.' He ran evenly at the back of the field and never showed any acceleration in the stretch.
I sure hope he improves off this race, or Coolmore may find themselves in possession of the best-bred hunter/jumper prospect on the planet.
