An updated pedigree for Rayif who kept on well to land today’s Group 1 Emirates Poule d'Essai des Poulains @paris_longchamp . The @AgaKhanStuds homebred is by Sea The Moon @Lanwades out of the Listed placed mare Rayisa (Holy Roman Emperor) - this makes him a half-brother to Rayevka who landed the Group 3 Prix de Saint-Georges earlier on the @paris_longchamp card.

Diamond Necklace defeats the field and the dreadful conditions to win the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches in style 💎 A 1st Classic winner from the first crop of @coolmorestud's St Mark's Basilica, and the 2nd for her dam Prudenzia @EcurieMonceaux

Brilliant result for @AgaKhanStuds with Rayif, such a likeable colt with a serious turn of foot 🏆 We put Rayif & his @Lanwades sire Sea The Moon in the spotlight in last September's issue of International Thoroughbred's @weatherbysltd Stallion Scene after the 2yo colt had impressed us winning the G3 Prix Francois Boutin @fgdeauville @GraffardRacing ⬇️ Rayif is now a 3rd Classic winner (1st over a mile & 1st outside of 🇩🇪) & sixth G1 winner for Sea The Moon ⭐️🌙 7su0.short.gy/ITB_WSS_seathe… Of course we didn't have a bet today🤦‍♀️

A bittersweet moment this morning as Bob left to go home. He will be missed by everyone at Knockeen - particularly Davy and Jason - but we are delighted that he’s finished his career so happy and healthy, and he’s going to be even happier getting very fat and being very spoilt!

True Love becomes a first Classic winner for @coolmorestud sire No Nay Never with victory in the 1,000 Guineas @NewmarketRace. The @Ballydoyle-trained filly is an own-sister to Truly Enchanting, winner of the Balanchine Stakes (G2), and is out of the Fastnet Rock mare Alluringly, who finished third in the Epsom Oaks (G1). Her fourth dam is the blue hen Urban Sea, the dam of Galileo and Sea The Stars It means that both @NewmarketRace Guineas winners this year hail from the families of the last decade's most influential and champion European sires – @DarleyStallions Dubawi & @coolmorestud's Galileo Photo: @deborahburt1

An updated pedigree for Bow Echo @gbougheyracing who ran on strongly under @loughnane_billy to land the Group 1 2000 Guineas @NewmarketRace. By the Champion sire Night Of Thunder - the late Sheikh Mohammed Obaid homebred is out of his winning Invincible Spirit mare Aristocratic Lady (pictured) - a half-sister to Group and Listed winner Royal Rhyme. He’s from the family of the mighty Dubawi.

Night Raider gives @wathnanracing a double on the @NewmarketRace card ... wins the 5f @HKJC_Racing Palace House Stakes (G3). Will be seen next @Ascot The 5yo is by Dark Angel and is a 1/2-brother to stallion Far Above, winner of the Palace House in 2020

Flora Of Bermuda of @wathnanracing battled to win the Listed Ellen Chaloner Stakes @NewmarketRace 💬Richard Brown of @BlandfordBldstk: "Delighted with that, we pitched her in all the bigest sprints last year, and we were keen to get her head in front. "She has done very well over the winter, we gave her six weeks off and she went to @whattonmanor, and I was very pleased with her when I saw her after the winter. "We go straight to @Ascot now for the 6f Group 1, but we might look at 7f later in the year." Photo: @deborahburt1
