STUDY OF MAN’s FIRST CROP OF THREE-YEAR-OLDS ARE FLYING
STUDY OF MAN’s fine run with his first crop of three-year-olds continues as BIRTHE wins the Listed Prix Caravelle at Toulouse to become her sire’s second Black-Type Winner after DEEPONE won the Gr.2 Beresford Stakes last year. Also in the race was SEA THE MOON’s VIGATATA who finished third to become her sire’s 60th individual Stakes performer. BIRTHE had won as a two-year-old last November at Chantilly. She then finished a very close up third, only beaten ¾ length, on her seasonal reappearance over 8.5 furlongs at Chantilly on 14th March. She was held up over this longer trip of 10 furlongs at Toulouse and made her move late on to win by a neck. BIRTHE was bred by Sabah Mubarak Al Sabah at Tara Ireland in Ireland and was sold as a yearling at the Goffs Autumn Yearling Sale. She is the first foal out the LOPE DE VEGA mare BARAKAAT who was also a winner at Toulouse at three.

STUDY OF MAN
A very successful few days for Lanwades sire STUDY OF MAN.  First up at Newmarket this week was Juddmonte-bred 3yo filly KALPANA winning at Newmarket by 10 lengths.  Her second win from three starts.  Next up at Newmarket was Lanwades-bred 3yo colt SONS AND LOVERS running a very credible third in the Gr.3 Craven Stakes.  Then today Lanwades-bred 3yo filly SINOLOGY (pictured right) wins a highly competitive maiden at Newbury over 10 furlongs on her second attempt.  SINOLOGY is out of MADAME CHIANG who won the Gr.1 Champions Fillies and Mares as well as the Gr.3 Musidora Stakes. SINOLOGY becomes her dam's fifth winner from her first five foals.

SEA THE MOON
SEA THE MOON's  high-class middle-distance performer ASSISTENT made the ideal start to his five-year-old season at Cologne yesterday, sprinting clear of his rivals in the straight to win the 2400m Listed Grand Prix Aufgalopp by six lengths. Settled in a lovely stalking position on the inside, he took over from the front-running WALDADLER with just over 400m to run and didn’t need to be fully extended to lengthen clear in the closing stages.   Bred by Gestüt Röttgen and now owned by Eckhard Sauren, ASSISTENT was a Listed winner and fourth in the Gr.1 Deutsches Derby at three.  At four he won both the Gr.2 Carl Jaspers Preis and Gr.2 Grosser Hansa-Preis early in the season and was second to JUNKO in the Gr.1 Grosser Preis von Bayern at Munich in November.  SEA THE MOON was also sire of a new winner in Lanwades-bred 3yo PALACE GREEN who won a  Novice at Kempton by 5 lengths for trainer Richard Hughes.  He was consigned by Staffordstown when sold for 120,000 gns at the 2022 Tattersalls October Book 2.

A DUBAWI FILLY FOR ARC HEROINE ALPINISTA

Gr.1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner ALPINISTA has produced her first foal, a filly by DUBAWI. A fourth-generation Lanwades homebred, ALPINISTA, who is out of the Listed-winning HERNANDO mare ALWILDA, herself a daughter of the treble Group 1 winner ALBANOVA, won six Group 1 races during her four seasons in training with Sir Mark Prescott in Newmarket. Kirsten Rausing said, "Following family tradition, the daughter of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner is a grey - all females in her family going back to [twelfth dam] LADY JOSEPHINE having been of that coat colour." She continued, "I had been hoping for the mare to produce a filly, so I'm obviously thrilled and very grateful to ALPINISTA, who, as usual, can do no wrong."
