"ONE
TO JUMP!!" 2000
BUMPER
HORSES
Unnamed full brother to
Monsignor bay gelding Mister Lord - Dooney´s Daughter
Trained by - ?
Comments - That's right its not even named yet (as far as I know) but
Monsignor's full brother is due to go in bumpers this term. Having cost
his owner 100,000 guineas, I hope he has some of his brother's ability
B B BOY brown gelding Arctic Lord - Belle Nugent
Trained by - Kim Bailey
Comments - As yet unraced four-year-old bought at this May's Doncaster
sales. Related to The Proclamation and could be anything.
BYRON LAMB grey gelding Rambo Dancer - Caroline Lamb
Trained by - Nicky Richards
Comments -: As yet unraced three-year-old from an extremely fruitful
bloodstock line, Sir Lamb, Mr Lamb are two half brothers that have won
races recently. Hopefully he can show some promise this season in bumpers
CALKO DU CHANMIL (FR) bay gelding Cadalko (FR) - Licada (FR)
Trained by - Mary Reverley
Comments - Calko Du Chanmil is only three and never ran in France, He is
going to appear in the second half of the season, but is pleasing
connections
DARK-EYED DICK bay gelding
Trained by - Paul Webber
Comments - As yet unraced gelding that caught my eye on a Racing Channel
trainer file. Looks a nice sort, and we'll see how he gets on in bumpers.
DESIGNER LABEL bay gelding Insan - Belle Babillard
Trained by - Mark Pitman
Comments - Designer Label also caught my eye on a trainer file. This
fellow has size and scope and has done everything expected of him thus far
at home.
FIRST DAY COVER bay gelding Toulon - Bilbury
Trained by - Noel Chance
Comments - He cost IR70, 000gns and will be trained for the Land Rover
Bumper at Fairyhouse in the spring. He could be anything
FIRST FLIGHT brown gelding Neltino - The Beginning
Trained by - Kim Bailey
Comments - Studying the results of the Doncaster Sales also paid dividends
as I spotted this individual who is a full brother to the highly promising
pointer Itsgoneoff who I have no doubt would have made it to the top bar
injury.... He's another bumper horse to note this time around
ISARD III (FR) grey gelding Royal Charter (FR) - Aurore D´ex (FR)
Trained by - Martin Pipe
Comments - As yet unraced four-year-old bought at this May's Doncaster
sales... again could be anything
JAMESON bay gelding Broken Hearted - Seyona
Trained by - Mark Pitman
Comments - Gave notice that he was a possible star when galloping
impressively with Ever Blessed and Ashley Park. Confirmed that impression
with an easy success in a Sandown bumper. May well be kept to bumpers this
term with the Cheltenham affair being his target...Jameson is very
talented, and could be anything
JAZZ D'ESTRUVAL (FR) grey gelding Bayalidaan (FR) - Caro D'Estruval
(FR)
Trained by - Nicky Richards
Comments -: As yet unraced three-year-old bought at GOFFS France sales...
hopefully he can show some promise this season in bumpers
Jumpty Dumpty (FR)
brown gelding Chamberlin (FR) - Caryatide (FR)
Trained by - Guilliame Macaire
Comments - As yet unraced gelding who has a great jumping pedigree. He is the sort of horse that Guilliame Macaire will be seeking to
sell to a British trainer so hopefully he demonstrates that he possesses ability..
LET'S
FLY (FR) bay gelding Rose Laurel (FR) - Harpyes (FR)
Trained by - Mary Reverley
Comments - Lets Fly is a nice looking individual. He is pleasing
connections, and should appear in a bumper before too long
NO
COLLUSION bay gelding Buckskin - Miss Ironside
Trained by - Noel Chance
Comments - A promising type from the family of Large Action, he is more of
an old-fashioned steeplechaser, but hopefully will have the pace to win a
bumper.
SAXO
DU ROCHER (FR) bay gelding Beyssac (FR) - Fabinou (FR)
Trained by - Jim Dreaper
Comments - As yet unraced gelding but is well thought of by connections
... could be anything.
SHUIL
DO
Trained by - Henrietta Knight
Comments - As yet unraced but well regarded mare, subject to positive
reports at home ... could be anything
YOUNG DOUGLAS chestnut gelding Alphabatim (U.S.A.) - Strong
Language
Trained by - Mark Pitman
Comments - Patriarch's full-brother. As yet unraced, who Mark Pitman spoke
positively of on his recent trainer file on the Racing Channel. I have to
say I liked the look of him too ... here's hoping
JUVENILE
HURDLERS
ADELPHI
THEATRE (U.S.A.) bay gelding Sadler's Wells (U.S.A.) - Truly Bound
(U.S.A.)
Trained By - Mark Pitman
Comments - Adelphi Theatre is a winner at two when with Aidan O'Brien, who
only raced him the once when well beaten at Leopardstown in June. Could
well leave that form behind him over hurdles this winter
BELLE D'ANJOU (FR) bay filly Saint Cyrien (FR) - Epsibelle
Trained by - Martin Pipe
Comments - Belle D'Anjou was one of the horses that I had in a small list
to cover the early season and she has already 'made hay' and has now won
five times this season (once at Auteuil). She is definitely the best
juvenile seen out thus far, and may not have finished her winning spree
CAESAR'S PALACE (GER) chestnut gelding Lomitas - Caraveine (FR)
Trained by - Martin Pipe
Comments - Twice a winner on the flat when trained by Criquette Head,
Caesar's Palace does look the sort of animal that will win races around
the lesser tracks (Is already twice a winner here
DIBEA TIMES (FR) bay gelding Sheyrann - Cerise Royale (FR)
Trained by - Malcolm Jefferson
Comments - Christopher Iles on his 'Focus on France' Page said of Dibea
Times "Dibea Times is already a winner over
hurdles at Auteuil in May - the race he won is quite a significant one.
Called the Prix Wild Monarch, it is restricted to 3 year olds making their
first appearance over hurdles, and seems to attract horses that their
trainers consider potentially top-class. The previous 2 winners have done
very well - Grand Seigneur placed in the French 3 year olds' championship
race in November, before winning the big juvenile hurdle at Lingfield in
December".
Malcolm Jefferson sees him as a chaser of the future; so don't be too
surprised if he has a light campaign.... He is a lovely prospect though
DREAM WITH ME (FR) bay colt Johann Quatz (FR) - Midnight Ride (FR)
Trained by - Charlie Egerton
Comments - A recent purchase at the latest GOFFS France sale, this useful
handicapper on the flat ran creditably during the summer and won most
recently at Deauville in August. They paid a lot for this one so I'd
expect a high profile campaign with him
ELEGANTISSIME (FR) bay gelding Nashwan - Riviere d'Argent (FR)
Trained by - Kim Bailey
Comments - He is one of 20 horses I noted that were sold at Goffs France
July Sales. Elegantissime is beautifully bred individual who showed plenty
of ability with Criquette Head on the Flat in France. I don't think he's
as good as some of these shown, however, hopefully he is up to winning a
race or two this term.
FRUIT DEFENDU (FR) bay colt Exit to Nowhere (U.S.A.) - Pauvresse
(FR)
Trained by - Noel Meade
Comments - A recent purchase at the latest GOFFS France sale, Fruit
Defendu also ran creditably in Handicap Company on the flat, winning most
recently a 10-furlong handicap at Longchamp in May. Noel Meade is a great
placer of horses and will certainly find opportunities for this individual
GUARD DUTY bay gelding Deploy - Hymne D'Amour (U.S.A.)
Trained By - Martin Pipe
Comments - Guard Duty is a full brother to useful juvenile miler to 1m4f
winner Chelsea Barracks. Martin Pipe purchased him M P Tregoning's
consignment at the recent Tattersall Horses in Training Sale. Although he
didn't win, Guard Duty ran creditably at distance between 1m-1m6f, being
placed four times. He's bred for this game, and could well do better over
hurdles this winter
GOSS grey colt Linamix (FR) - Guillem (U.S.A.)
Trained By - Franky Berry or Christy Roche
Comments - Bought at the recent 'Horses in Training' Sale, having earlier
this week finished 7th to Inglenook in a listed event over 10 furlongs at
Saint Cloud. Almost certainly will be trained in Ireland. Looks an
interesting proposition
ISHANDRAZ (GER) grey colt Mondrian (GER) - Isla Limpia (GER)
Trained by - Martin Pipe
Comments - Don't know what to make of his flat form, (last time out he
finished second in a claimer at Chantilly in July) A nice gelding who is
bred for stamina, and hopefully will win a couple of races in juvenile
company
JOYEUX ROYAL (FR) bay gelding Cyborg (FR) - Samba du Cochet (FR)
Trained By - Paul Nicholls
Comments - Joyeux Royal is a lovely long-term prospect that has won two
AQPS (bumper) races in France. Being three he could well struggle against
the better, speedier three year olds, but is a lovely prospect.
MONTREAL (FR) brown gelding Chamberlin (FR) - Massada (FR)
Trained by - Martin Pipe
Comments - There aren't very many 3 year olds sired by Chamberlin racing
in this country but the sire of Challenger du Lac's progeny tend to be
real chasing types. Although he never won in France, he has been placed,
last timeout in a race that was run in a decent time. I'll be interested
to see what sort of season he has. He looks as though he has a future.
OUT OF CONTROL bay colt (U.S.A.) - Brooklyn's Dance (Fr)
Trained by - Noel Meade
Comments - Noel Meade was certainly active at the latest GOFFS France
sale, as this is another purchase he picked up at the sale. As with his
other purchases Out of Control did well on the flat, successful on the
last occasion in a 10-furlong event at Saint Cloud. Last time out Out of
Control finished 5lengths fifth to Taalash at Clairefontaine. There should
be opportunities for this individual
POLAR STAR bay colt Polar Falcon (U.S.A.) - Glowing With Pride
Trained By - Martin Pipe
Comments - Polar Star is a half-brother to several winners including
Cesarewitch winner Inchcailloch and top-class hurdler Pridwell. He didn't
show very much at all on the flat but looking at his pedigree it's
conceivable that he'll progress with experience
SAONE ET LOIRE (FR) bay filly Always Fair (U.S.A.) - Saone (U.S.A.)
Trained By - Martin Pipe
Comments - Saone et Loire was ordinary when trained on the flat by
Criquette Head, but was second on her last start at Maison Lafitte, and
ran behind the likes of Bluemamba and Lady of Chad, so has some scope for
placement by Mr Pipe over hurdles
STROMNESS (U.S.A.) ch c Trempolino (U.S.A.) - Caithness (U.S.A.)
Trained By - Oliver Sherwood
Comments - Stromness is another import from France, purchased from Andre
Fabre's consignment at the 'Horses in Training' Sale. Stromness was a
winner over 10 furlongs at Saint Cloud in May, and has performed
respectably since. Believe he is now in Oliver Sherwood's care, and is one
to look out for in the second half of the season
SKIBO (JPN) bay colt Carnegie - Dyna Avenue (JPN)
Trained by - ?
Comments - Currently this horse is in training with Marcus Tregoning, but
I'm hoping someone has the good sense to purchase him, as this lovely
scopey individual will make a lovely hurdler
SNOB WELLS bay colt Sadler's Wells (U.S.A.) - Galitizine (U.S.A.)
Trained by - Noel Meade
Comments - A recent purchase at the latest GOFFS France sale, Snob Wells
is a winner at two, and was placed twice this summer on the flat most
recently getting touched off in the Prix du Mont Pagnotte at Chantilly in
May. Hopefully he finds a race or two this winter
