 A NEW GROUP 3 WINNER FOR SEA THE MOON
WONDERFUL MOON, a two-year-old colt by SEA THE MOON was a most impressive winner of the Gr.3 Grosser Preis Herzog von Ratibor-Rennen at Krefeld yesterday over 8.5f.  He raced in mid-division and went clear in the home straight to win easily by some 12 lengths.  He was runner-up in last month's Gr.3 Preis des Winterfavoriten and has gone one better here for his breeder Gestüt Görlsdorf, owner Stall Wasserfreunde and trainer Henk Grewe and is now favourite for next year's German Derby - a race that his sire won by some 9 lengths back in 2014.  It was a great day for Gestüt Görlsdorf as another one they have bred three-year-old filly NOUVELLE LUNE won her fourth race of her career when winning over 12f at Jagersro - she had previously won the the Svenskt Oaks and was third in the Listed Norsk Derby and also won as a two-year-old.

STUDY OF MAN MAKES DEEP IMPACT AS ADDITION TO EUROPEAN STALLION RANKS
French Derby winner STUDY OF MAN, by Japanese super-sire DEEP IMPACT out of a daughter of the legendary, 10-times Group 1 winner MIESQUE (also dam of Classic winners KINGMAMBO and EAST OF THE MOON) has been retired from racing and will stand at Lanwades Stud in Newmarket.  

"We are thrilled to see French Derby winner STUDY OF MAN join fellow Derby winners SIR PERCY and SEA THE MOON, as well as Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint winner BOBBY'S KITTEN, at Lanwades" said the stud's Owner and General Manager, Kirsten Rausing. 

"I am immensely grateful to Maria Niarchos Gouaze and the entire Niarchos Family for letting us have STUDY OF MAN at Lanwades. It's great to be able to continue a long-standing friendship and co-operation which goes back to the early 1980's. At that time, Mr Stavros Niarchos was a shareholder in Lanwades' flagship sire, NINISKI, from whom he bred Group 1 winners LOUIS CYPHRE and French Derby winner, HERNANDO. 

HERNANDO spent his entire stud career at Lanwades, siring Epsom Oaks winner LOOK HERE and French Derby winners HOLDING COURT as well as Champion and 6-time Group 1 winner SULAMANI (Bred by the Niarchos Family). 

I very much look forward to our new joint venture with STUDY OF MAN, a really good-looking horse with exceptional presence, great racing performance and possessing a truly world-class pedigree. As a son and grandson of racing legends, he should make an outstanding addition to the worldwide breeding industry, contributing an outcross for many mares", she concluded.

A NEW LISTED WINNER FOR SEA THE MOON 
SEA THE MOON had a new Listed winner yesterday when the Niels Petersen-trained PRIVILEGIADO was the runaway winner of the Listed Norsk Derby at Ovrevoll winning by some 15 lengths much like his sire did when winning the German Derby.    SEA THE MOON also sired the third home, NOUVELLE LUNE, who had previously won the Swedish Oaks.  PRIVILEGIADO was foaled in Britain, but was bred by Haras de Bourgeauville and was purchased at the Arqana October Yearling Sales. It has been a good few days for winners for SEA THE MOON as his three-year-old daughter Lanwades-bred ALEMAGNA stayed on strong to win the valuable Fillies Handicap at Goodwood yesterday.  SEA THE MOON’s progeny earnings this year are now well over £1 million. Two winners today, 5 since Friday evening. He ranks 5th on list of all European 2nd crop sires.  See PRIVILEGIADO's impressive win here 

25th August 2019
LANWADES-BRED GROUP RACE DOUBLE AT YORK 
It was a great day at York when two horses bred by Lanwades won the two Group prizes that were on offer.  First up ZAAKI, trained by Sir Michael Stoute, put up a strong performance to just get the better of BANGKOK in the Gr.3 Strensall Stakes.  Then two races later SHINE SO BRIGHT made all the win the feature race of the day, the Gr.2 City of York Stakes for trainer Andrew Balding. SHINE SO BRIGHT IS out of ALLA SPERANZA, herself a Group 3 winner by SIR PERCY. He was first sold at the Tattersalls December Sales as a foal, then as a yearling at Goffs Orby Sale. He won first time out for Karl Burke and was then sold to King Power Racing at the Goffs London Sale for £375,000 and finished 5th in Gr.2 Coventry Stakes. He was then transferred to Andrew Balding's yard and finished 3rd in three Gr.2's as a juvenile before winning the Listed Free Handicap at Newmarket on his reappearance as a three-year-old.  SHINE SO BRIGHT then ran sixth in the 2000 Guineas where the mile was possibly a bit too far for him, back to 7f he did well to wind this highly competitive Gr.2 City of York Stakes keeping the six-time Group 1 winning LAURENS behind him. SHINE SO BRIGHT is by OASIS DREAM, but has Lanwades stallions SELKIRK and SIR PERCY close up in his pedigree.  ZAAKI is by the late Lanwades stallion LEROIDESANIMAUX.  Both of their dams and several sisters are very much in action in the present Lanwades broodmare band.

There were two winners from SEA THE MOON's second crop yesterday - first up was Lanwades-bred TRITONIC who won well on his only second start when taking the 7.5f furlong novice at Ffos Las from a perfectly timed ride from Megan Nicholls.  Next up in the evening was a great win for the very talented ALPINE STAR in the highly competitive Gr.2 Debutante Stakes at The Curragh.  The Niarchos Family homebred filly showed real determination and class to win by a short head.  ALPINE STAR is trained by Jessica Harrington who has high hopes for the filly and she has even earned a quote for next year's 1,000 guineas.

WINNERS GALORE FOR HORSES BRED BY LANWADES 
LORD (formerly MISTER) BELVEDERE, by ARCHIPENKO, wins in Australia on 20th July the very the same day as his half-brother PONDUS, by SEA THE MOON, gains black-type here when finishing second in the Listed Steventon Stakes at Newbury for trainer James Fanshawe. Their dam, DIABLERETTE, is a three-parts sister to Group 1 winner LADY JANE DIGBY and multiple Group 3 winner GATEMAN with their dam being Champion three-year-old filly and Horse of the Year MARIA WALESKA. DIABLERETTE has a full sister yearling (already named DEVILRY) and a full brother foal to PONDUS.

On the same day four-year-old gelding VERHOYEN who is 5th generation Lanwades-bred by PICCOLO out of a WITH APPROVAL mare, who is out of a NINISKI mare; so 3 generations of Lanwades stallions also, won the Historic Scurry Handicap over 6 furlongs on The Curragh for trainer Michael Grassick, who also trains the gelding’s two-year-old full sister MUSICAL MEMORIES for Lanwades. VERHOYEN is now the winner of three races and has won over £144,000 in prize money.

A couple of days before, two-year-old filly ALPINISTA, 4th generation Lanwades-bred, wins a nice maiden on debut at Epsom, beating colts in doing so. Trained by Sir Mark Prescott, ALPINISTA, travelled strongly in the race and showed a decisive turn of foot to win this with plenty of authority. ALPINISTA is by FRANKEL and is a first foal for her dam, ALWILDA who won four races including a Listed race in Germany. ALWILDA is a half-sister to Group 3 winner ALGOMETER and Listed winner ALL AT SEA out of three-time Group 1 winner and German Horse of the Year ALBANOVA. ALPINISTA now heads for a Black Type race, probably in mid-August.

DOUBLE FOR LANWADES HOMEBRED FILLIES 
On Thursday, May 23rd, two Lanwades-bred fillies added not only to their own value but also to their respective families’ lustre, by each impressively winning. 

 4-y-old FRANCOPHILIA, a third-generation Lanwades bred who traces back to the great Italian Champion racemare MARIA WALESKA and is herself a daughter of Group 1 winner LADY JANE DIGBY, won her maiden at Lingfield in taking style for trainer Mark Johnston, who also handled her dam. The mare also has a 3yo filly DAME FREYA STARK (by Leroidesanimaux) and a 2yo filly, AVENTURIERE (by Archipenko), both also with Mark Johnston. LADY JANE DIGBY further has a filly foal by CHURCHILL and is in foal to SEA THE MOON.

 Incidentally, LADY JANE DIGBY’s ¾ sister DIABLERETTE (by Green Desert) is the dam of promising 3yo colt PONDUS (by Sea The Moon), a winner in his second and most recent start for trainer James Fanshawe. DIABLERETTE also has a yearling filly and colt foal, both by SEA THE MOON. 

 Also yesterday, 3yo filly ALOE VERA (Invincible Spirit – Almiranta, by Galileo – Alvarita, by Selkirk out of the great Alborada) continued her winning ways three weeks after scoring on her debut, this time in the Listed Height of Fashion Stakes (10f, 2000m), traditionally seen as an Oaks Trial. 

ALOE VERA, like her Gr 2 winning half sister ALYSSA, is trained by Ralph Beckett. ALOE VERA is an own sister to 2yo Group winner ALEA IACTA (Prix Thomas-Bryon, Gr 3) and a half-sister to ALYSSA, by Sir Percy, winner of the Gr 2 Park Hill Stakes. Both these mares have 2019 filly foals by SEA THE MOON and INVINCIBLE SPIRIT, respectively. Their dam, ALMIRANTA, has a 2yo filly ALBAFLORA, by MUHARAAR, a yearling filly by BOBBY’S KITTEN and a filly foal by SEA THE MOON.

A TRIPLE HAT TRICK FOR LANWADES STALLIONS
On Friday 17th May, SEA THE MOON had three individual first-crop 3yo winners in three countries: firstly MOONIAC (c ex Margarita, bred by Dr K Schulte, owned by Pulp Master and trained by Roland Dzubasz) won his maiden in Hannover, Germany, becoming his sire’s first-crop individual winner no 30. 

 This was swiftly followed by French-bred PRIVILEGIADO (bred by Haras de Bourgeauville) winning easily over 1600m, giving 6 kg to beaten horses, at Ovrevoll in Oslo for trainer Wido Neuroth and the “Bright Side of Life” Stable. PRIVILEGIADO won twice last year and was Champion 2yo in Norway. Future plans for the colt may involve a trial for the German Derby (itself run on 7th July). 

Finally, SUMMER MOON (c ex SONGERIE, by Hernando, a fifth-generation Lanwades-bred) continued his impressive winning run at York for trainer Mark Johnston and owners, “The Originals”. SUMMER MOON had won his previous 2019 start equally easily at Windsor, and may next run at Royal Ascot. 

Still on Friday 17th May, unbeaten Champion 2YO and subsequent Derby winner SIR PERCY had a trio of winners at Hamilton in Scotland: 

NEVER BE ENOUGH (f ex Camp Fire, bred by J L Skinner, owned by Straightline Bloodstock and trained by Keith Dalgleish) won a handicap over 1600m (8f) 

THEGLASGOWWARRIOR (g ex Sweet Cando, owned and bred by Mrs Lucille Bone and trained by Jim Goldie) won a handicap over 2400m (12f) 

UNIVERSAL GLEAM (g ex Mookhlesa, bred by Mrs D O’Brien, owned by Weldspec Glasgow Limited and trained by Keith Dalgleish) won a handicap over 1600m (8f)

AUSSIE RULES’ Lanwades-bred son ZANJABEEL (ex Grain Only), a 210,000 guineas Tattersalls October Sales yearling, was the Eclipse Awards Champion Steeplechaser in the USA in 2018, when he won the both Grade 1 designated steeplechases there).

APRIL FOALS 
A round dozen was the foal arrival count for April, and three of the twelve are produce of Lanwades’ third season sire, Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint winner BOBBY’S KITTEN. MEMORY LANE, a fourth-generation Lanwades-bred daughter of WITH APPROVAL out of a NINISKI mare, has a filly half-sister to two winners including VERHOYEN, Listed-placed as a two-year-old and already a winner at The Curragh this year at four. Also with a bay filly is AKSAYA, an unraced daughter of SEA THE STARS and HERNANDO’s Group 3 winning daughter AKDARENA, her second foal after an ARCHIPENKO colt in 2018. The third BOBBY’S KITTEN foal is a bay colt out of BOHEMIAN DANCE, a three-time winner by DANSILI out of the great Champion Race Filly and Mare ISLINGTON. He is his dam’s fourth produce, following MANIC MONDAY, a three-year-old filly with Michael Bell; an as yet unnamed two-year-old colt by ELUSIVE QUALITY who is with Richard Fahey, and a yearling filly by LEMON DROP KID named CITRONNADE. 

Four mares visiting BOBBY’S KITTEN in 2019 foaled in April. The four are daughters of four different Lanwades’ stallions. HERNANDO’s Group 3 Prix des Reservoirs winner SONGERIE has a FAST COMPANY half-sister to four winners, most recently and most notably SUMMER MOON, the SEA THE MOON three-year-old who made a very impressive five-length winning reappearance for Mark Johnston last week. The following with colt foals are multiple winners NEIGE D'ANTAN, a daughter of AUSSIE RULES whose 2019 grey son is by SEA THE MOON, and is a full-brother to NOSTALGICA, a two-year-old filly also with Mark Johnston; and APPARATCHIKA, ARCHIPENKO’s daughter whose third foal this is – her three-year-old first foal colt KINGS WAY and two-year-old second foal SEA THE MOON daughter ARRIVISTE are yet to run. 

JOLIE BLONDE, the three-time winning SIR PERCY filly who is the fourth of the April foalers visiting BOBBY’S KITTEN, has a 2019 MUKHADRAM third foal filly. Her first foal, the two-year-old ARCHIPENKO filly BELLE ROUSSE, is in training with Sir Mark Prescott, who handled both JOLIE BLONDE’s four-time winning dam AFFAIRE D’AMOUR and that mare’s ultra-consistent HERNANDO brother FOREIGN AFFAIRS, winner of 12 races including no less than 8 at Listed level. 

Two of the remaining April arrivals are colts by OASIS DREAM. Group-placed ALUMNA’s is her fourth foal – her first, YOUARESTAR (2016 colt by Sea The Stars) is due to run today for William Haggas while her second, the two-year-old ARCHIPENKO filly ALPHA THETA, is another with Mark Johnston. Listed-placed winner BITE OF THE CHERRY, a half-sister to the dams of Group 1 winners POSTPONED and GOD GIVEN and Group 3 winners TURNING TOP and ROBIN HOODS BAY, has a grey colt fifth foal. BIPARTISAN, as a half-sister to ROBIN HOODS BAY is a close relative to BITE OF THE CHERRY, has a BATED BREATH third foal colt to follow fillies in 2017 by ARCHIPENKO and 2018 by BOBBY’S KITTEN. STARLIT SANDS, Group 3 Prix d’Arenberg winner and Queen Mary Stakes runner-up who herself was the first Group winner ever by OASIS DREAM, has a DARK ANGEL filly half-sister to two winners (the mare’s first two foals) and to SIDEREAL, a two-year-old GALILEO colt. 

Finally, ALTERNANTHERA, an unraced daughter of NAYEF and ALAKANANDA, has a second foal filly by SIR PERCY. A granddaughter of Broodmare of the Year ALOUETTE, and a half-sister to photo-finish Derby runner-up DRAGON DANCER, she returns to that horse’s Epsom conqueror SIR PERCY. .

Proven producers DIABLERETTE (three parts sister to Group 1 winner LADY JANE DIGBY and who has bred three winners and the promising three-year-old colt PONDUS to date) and KINETICA, a Listed winner whose first two foals are winners, both have bay colts, as does SELENOGRAPHY, a young unraced daughter of SELKIRK.

Two new arrivals are colts by Classic-winning sons of GALILEO.

LANWADES-BRED SHINE SO BRIGHT LANDS THE LISTED FREE HANDICAP
On the opening day of the Craven Meeting at Newmarket it was Lanwades-bred SHINE SO BRIGHT that won the Listed Free Handicap in convincing style.  The son of OASIS DREAM broke well, got the rail and led a good gallop and went onto to score by a length and three quarters.  Bred by Lanwades Stud he is out of ALLA SPERANZA, herself a Group 3 winner by SIR PERCY.  He was first sold at the Tattersalls December Sales as a foal, then as a yearling at Goffs Orby Sale.  He won first time out for Karl Burke and was then sold to King Power Racing at the Goffs London Sale for £375,000 and finished 5th in Gr.2 Coventry Stakes.  He was then transferred to Andrew Balding's yard and finished 3rd in three Gr.2's as a juvenile before winning this race on his reappearance as a three-year-old.

ALBORADA FAMILY ARRIVALS
Two mother and daughter combos and a pair of Group-winning sibling great-granddaughters, all descendants of ALRUCCABA’s World Champion granddaughter ALBORADA, are amongst Lanwades’ early and mid-March arrivals.

ALVARITA, Listed-winning daughter of SELKIRK and ALBORADA, and who already numbers Group winner ALLA SPERANZA (by SIR PERCY) and Listed scorer ALTESSE (by HERNANDO) among her six winners, has a bay colt by MUHARAAR, the Champion sprinter whose first crop races this year. Her daughter ALBORETTA, a winning full-sister to ALTESSE, has a BOBBY’S KITTEN filly, her third foal, and third filly following last year’s BOBBY’S KITTEN full-sister to this one and 2017’s WORTHADD filly ALIANNE, a now two-year-old in training with Tom Clover.

Aforementioned ALLA SPERANZA, winner of the Group 3 Kilternan Stakes at Leopardstown at three, arrived very late to the March party, foaling a grey filly by SEA THE STARS on the 31st. She is dam already of the highly-promising Andrew Balding-trained SHINE SO BRIGHT, a winner and placed three times at Group 2 level in just five starts at two last year, while she also has to run for her this year ALLA LUNA, a two-year-old SEA THE MOON filly who is with Jim Bolger.

ALVARITA’s GALILEO daughter ALMIRANTA is dam of Group winners ALEA IACTA and ALYSSA with her first two foals, and these siblings produced filly foals on consecutive days. Park Hill Stakes winner ALYSSA (by SIR PERCY) has an INVINCIBLE SPIRIT first foal. While her Prix Thomas Bryon-winning sister ALEA IACTA, who is by INVINCIBLE SPIRIT, has produced a third foal daughter by SEA THE MOON. 

The other mother and daughter combination to foal are ALMAMIA and ALAMODE. ALBORADA’s HERNANDO daughter ALMAMIA has a chesnut colt by Group 1 winning INVINCIBLE SPIRIT horse NATIONAL DEFENSE (his first crop are now foals); her SIR PERCY daughter, a winner and runner-up in the Gr.3 Oh So Sharp Stakes at Newmarket at two, has a chesnut daughter by POSTPONED to follow last year’s first foal SEA THE STARS filly.

12th March 2019 
FINAL FEBRUARY FOALS
A rush of foals in the second half of February include no fewer than five arrivals - three fillies, two colts - from the second crop of Lanwades' Breeders' Cup winner BOBBY'S KITTEN.

First of the five-strong "litter" to arrive was the chesnut daughter of HEAT OF THE NIGHT, born within days of the win in Naples of her three-year-old half-brother ZONA CESARINI, who was adding a quick follow-up win to his juvenile success at the backend of 2018. The filly is also half-sister to another three winners, including HERE TO ETERNITY, dam of ARCHIPENKO's Hong Kong Group 1 winning full-brothers TIME WARP and GLORIOUS FOREVER. The other two BOBBY’S KITTEN fillies are both second foals, one out of Timeform 104-rated SEYCHELLOISE, a daughter of PIVOTAL and Group 3 winner STARLIT SANDS whose first foal is a now yearling colt by SEA THE STARS, the other a half-sister to last year's THE GURKHA filly out of three-time winner WAVELET, an ARCHIPENKO granddaughter of European Champion filly RAMRUMA.

BOBBY’S KITTEN's two colts are a tenth live foal for HERNANDO's Group 2 winning daughter SAMANDO, all seven of whose produce to have raced to date are winners; and a second foal for FRESH STRIKE, a winning daughter of SMART STRIKE who traces to FALL ASPEN and whose winning two-year-old half-brother SHAMAN was also second and third in Listed and Group races in Paris in 2018.

NADESZHDA, a NASHWAN great, great granddaughter of SPECIAL who is already dam of five winners, has a bay filly from the first crop by DUBAWI's multiple Group winner TIME TEST; and CATADUPA, a SELKIRK full-sister to dual Group winner CUBANITA, also has a filly by a first season sire, hers a bay daughter of multiple International Group 1 winner HIGHLAND REEL.

The remaining two February arrivals are colts by Lanwades sires: Newmarket Listed winner FROSTY WELCOME, a daughter of WITH APPROVAL and another who is dam already of five winners, has a grey son by SEA THE MOON a full brother to the two-year-old filly COLD LIGHT OF DAY; and SHE'S GORGEOUS, a dual-winning daughter of a half-sister to Dubai World Cup winner PRINCE BISHOP, has a second live foal half-brother by SIR PERCY to REINE DU BAL, her already-named 2018 filly by MUKHADRAM.

Five new members of the great ALRUCCABA family have taken their first steps into the world in the second half of February, and three of them are out of black-type daughters of German Horse of the Year and triple Group 1 winner ALBANOVA. The headline act amongst them on paper has to be the bay colt by DUBAWI out of three-time Listed winner ALL AT SEA, herself a product of two Horses of the Year given that she is by SEA THE STARS. ALL AT SEA's first foal is the INVINCIBLE SPIRIT two-year-old filly A LA VOILE, who is in training with Sir Michael Stoute, while she also has a yearling filly by ARCHIPENKO.

ALL AT SEA's Listed-winning HERNANDO half-sister ALWILDA has a second foal filly by prominent French sire KENDARGENT; her first foal, the FRANKEL two-year-old filly ALPINISTA, is in training with Sir Mark Prescott. And ALL AT SEA’s and ALWILDA's multiple Listed placed GALILEO half-sister ALBAMARA has a bay colt by KODIAC, and he too has a juvenile sibling in training in Newmarket, an OASIS DREAM colt also with Sir Mark Prescott.

ALBANOVA's GREEN DESERT half-sister ALTITUDE has foaled a grey filly by BOBBY'S KITTEN. The filly is half-sister to three winners, one of whom is the five-time winning SIR PERCY filly HOPE IS HIGH and another of whom, ALEGRA, is dam of 2018 Listed-winning two-year-old BLUE GARDENIA. ALTITUDE also has the NEW APPROACH filly ALSAMARA in training with HOPE IS HIGH's handler John Berry and the LEROIDESANIMAUX three-year-old filly ALPINE AIR to run for her in 2019.

ALGARADE, the fifth of the line with a February foal, and another daughter of GREEN DESERT, has a bay filly by SEA THE MOON, half-sister to two winners, the mare's first two produce, and full-sister to a two-year-old colt in training in Japan.
