CLASSIC JOY FOR GENTILDONNA

Ryan Moore triumphed on Gentildonna
Ryan Moore triumphed on Gentildonna
Ryan Moore and Gentildonna overcame a troubled passage to win the Dubai Sheema Classic presented by Longines at Meydan.
Moore had the perfect position in the first half of midfield against the rail and looked in control as he eased off the rail to avoid weakening rivals on the turn for home.
However, last year’s runner-up looked in serious trouble as Moore failed to find a passage through Cirrus Des Aigles and Ambivalent and was forced to switch the Deep Impact filly in a dramatic move.
Gentildonna was able to pick up again and ultimately ran out a relatively comfortable winner from the brilliant French veteran, Cirrus Des Aigles, with Ambivalent in third.
There was early drama in the race when Mars appeared to go wrong, veering violently to the far side of the course, hampering several runners in the process.

Trained by Sei Ishizaka,Gentildonna was trapped on the inner rail as Christophe Soumillon and Cirrus Des Aigles prevented Moore from switching out inside the final couple of furlongs.
However, Moore managed to extricate himself from his difficult position and he was able to unleash the mare's potent turn of foot that took her past Cirrus Des Aigles with ease.
Moore said: "It was very rough early on. I managed to get a nice slot and I was getting a nice enough run but I was just hemmed in a bit in the straight. But when I pulled her out she has quickened up very well. She has got an awful lot of heart.
"She felt a stronger filly today than when I rode her last, she felt as though she has out on a bit of condition. She got warm beforehand but she is obviously exceptionally talented, she has done more than I expected her today."
Cirrus Des Aigles stuck on gamely to finish second once again and Ambivalent took third for trainer Roger Varian and Andrea Atzeni.
Soumillon said: "The pace was quite strong and I was watching Ryan all the way but unfortunately we were up against a dual Japan Cup winner."

Varian said: "I was delighted. Hopefully the owner will decide to keep her in training. Andrea thought she has improved from last year, she is a stronger filly.
"On that form she is going to be competitive in those good fillies' races in Europe in the summer. I hope we keep her going as there is definitely another big one to win with her."
There was a nasty incident in the early stages of the race when Mars hung violently out on the first turn and sent jockey Richard Hughes crashing through the rail.
Hughes was reported to be sitting up after the fall and was being loaded into an ambulance. He added that he has been winded by the fall. Mars suffered a fatal heart attack.

JUST A WAY produced a jaw-dropping performance to rout his rivals at Meydan on Saturday.
The previously unbeaten Vercingetorix went for home at the top of the straight and had most of his rivals beaten. Just A Way, however, was no normal opponent.
The Japanese runner, trained by Naosuke Sugai and ridden by Yuichi Fukunaga, zipped past Vercingetorix and finished powerfully to take an ultra-impressive win.
The visual impression created by the Japanese runner was matched by the clock as he took nearly three seconds off the course record for the race and posted a time that was five seconds faster than the average time for 1m1f.
Vercingetorix lost little in defeat as he took second while Dank ran on well from the rear to snatch third.
Fukunaga said: "That was amazing, he was very good."
Sir Michael Stoute, trainer of Dank, said: "We're pleased with third. She just couldn't quite get a run when she wanted to, but there are four others that happened to as well."
The Fugue was well beaten in 11th having chased the early pace and her trainer John Gosden said: "She is not quite herself. She hasn't had much time off since Hong Kong as she's run a bit flat, even though she had a good position in the race. These things happen. It's early in the year for a filly. I think we'll wait for Royal Ascot now."

Dubaï Sheema Classic : l’éclair de classe de Gentildonna

Double lauréate de la Japan Cup, Gentildonna (Ryan Moore) s'est véritablement baladée dans le Dubaï Sheema Classic (Gr.I - 3 ans et plus - 2.410 mètres), avant-dernière course de la réunion de se ce samedi 29 mars à Meydan. La jument japonaise a pourtant connu beaucoup de malheur dans la ligne droite. Après avoir patienté sur un quatrième rang le long de la corde, elle s'est retrouvée complètement « bloquée » à mi-ligne droite. Son partenaire a dû tout reprendre puis « tirer » complètement en dehors. Une fois bien équilibrée elle n'a fait qu'une bouchée de ses adversaires. Battue nettement dans ce classique la saison dernière par St Nicholas Abbey, euthanasié le 14 janvier dernier, la pensionnaire de Sei Ishizaka n'a pas rencontrée d'opposition cette fois.



Pourtant les supporters de Cirrus des Aigles (Christophe Soumillon) ont bien cru que le champion français allait rééditer son exploit de 2012 quand il s'imposait dans la même épreuve et ce, malgré son numéro 15 peu enviable dans les stalles. A flanc de peloton durant les deux cent premiers mètres, le pensionnaire de Corine Barande-Barbe parvenait à trouver sa place derrière les animateurs dans le premier tournant. A deux cents mètres du but, il prenait l'avantage mais on voyait déjà la championne japonaise fondre sur lui. Il ne pouvait lutter avec elle mais conservait une très honorable deuxième place. L'extrême outsider Ambivalent (Andrea Atzeni), qui effectuait sa réapparition, se montrait tenace, après avoir fait illusion à mi-ligne droite, pour s'adjuger le second accessit. L'autre français Dunaden (Jamais Spencer) n'a jamais été en mesure de participer à l'emballage.

Gentildonna meets Ishizaka Classic approval

Saturday 29 March 2014
Ryan Moore is on Gentildonna
By Geoffrey Riddle
Gentildonna struggled to reel in international campaigner St Nicholas Abbey in the Dubai Sheema Classic last season but 12 months on trainer Sei Ishizaka feels that the Japanese mare has learned significantly from that experience.
Gentildonna could not get past the ill-fated Ballydoyle challenger and lost by two and a quarter lengths, but has since gone down in Japanese folklore by securing a second consecutive Japan Cup.
She lines up in a field packed with quality, leading many to believe that the 12-furlong turf event is the strongest race on the $27.25 million nine-race card.
Gentildonna clearly is one of Japan’s best horses, but Ishizaka does not believe that is enough in the hurly-burly of international racing and has worked hard at polishing off his charge’s rough edges.
“When she won the Triple Tiara that was simply down to her ability,” he said.
“Relying on ability is not enough in international races, she needs to be stronger in the mind and we need to keep her mentally strong – it is the most important thing for her.
“She is better than ever and is in very good form – physically and mentally. I would say better than last year.”
The five-year-old raider has arrived in Dubai with very different form to her almost flawless record in the lead-up last year.
Unlike last season, Gentildonna warmed up for her UAE assignment with a lacklustre sixth in the Grade 2 Kyoto Kinen last month. Her eclipse was a shock – she was sent off the 3-5 favourite, and the run was a setback in the eyes of her trainer.
Ryan Moore has been bokked for the ride, however, having partnered her to Japan Cup glory last season.
Gentildonna was out once again on the Meydan turf on Wednesday morning and the trainer outlined that this will be her final season before going to stud.
“I am happy with her final piece of fast work,” he added. “She is in a very good mood. She is the type who improves for a run and her second race up is her best.
“Although the Sheema Classic is her big target we hope to get her ready for a third straight win in the autumn before retirement.”
Surprise Japan Cup runner-up Denim And Ruby is a good second-string for the country but in Magician, Gentildonna faces not only the winner of an Irish 2,000 Guineas, but the Breeders' Cup Turf. Joseph O'Brien is on Magician but also rates stablemate Festive Cheer.
"A mile and a half is as far as he's (Magician) gone and as far as he wants to go. His dam was a sprinter but this horse is quite uncomplicated.
"I don't think people should underestimate Festive Cheer. He was third in an Irish Derby and, for me, has a massive each-way chance," said the jockey.
Cirrus Des Aigles beat St Nicholas Abbey in the 2012 renewal and the popular French veteran is back for a second bite.
Trainer Corine Barande-Barbe said: "It's encouraging that he appears to have the same enthusiasm and ability as before. Christophe Soumillon (jockey) thought he ran better in his trial at Chantilly than he did in the same races two years ago."
Group One-winning mare Ambivalent has her first start since finishing second in Turkey in September. Trainer Roger Varian said: "She looks in good shape. She's got to step up a few pounds on what she has done so far, but she may well still be on the upgrade."
Mount Athos, twice a Melbourne Cup runner for Luca Cumani, finished a close third on Super Saturday for new trainer Marco Botti, who said: "Hopefully he won't be too far away. As long as there is some early pace, he should get into a good position. The faster they go, the better it will be for him."
Mars, a classy performer for O'Brien, has not pulled up trees in two starts for Mike De Kock. The South African handler said: "He has come on a lot from his latest run when the blinkers perhaps did not suit. We thought he ran well, though and hopefully he will at least be competitive."

Gentildonna triumphs in Dubai

KYODO
DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES – Japan’s Gentildonna erased the disappointment of last year’s runnerup finish by winning the $5 million Dubai Sheema Classic under Ryan Moore on Saturday.
Trained by Sei Ishizaka, Gentildonna was trapped on the inside rail down the final couple of furlongs by Cirrus Des Aigles, but Moore pulled her out and she produced a powerful turn of foot to win by 1½ lengths at Meydan.
“It was very rough early on. I managed to get a nice slot and I was getting a nice enough run, but I was just hemmed in a bit in the straight,” Moore was quoted as saying by the Racing Post. “But when I pulled her out she has quickened up very well. She has got an awful lot of heart.
He added: “. . . She got warm beforehand but she is obviously exceptionally talented, she has done more than I expected her today.”
