BREEDING INSIGHTS: Gezora goes one better than her mum

1 week ago | theirishfield.ie | Leo Powell

NINETEEN years ago, the Edmund Loder-bred Germance, a daughter of Silver Hawk (Roberto), was runner-up in the Group 1 Prix de Diane-French Oaks, having landed the Group 1 Prix Saint-Alary. She had been purchased by Horse France at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale for $200,000. She came from a prominent female line, and much would have been expected of her at stud. Until now, her record at stud could best be described as disappointing.
BREEDING INSIGHTS: Keller magic works the oracle yet again

1 week ago | theirishfield.ie | Leo Powell

IT would be very tempting to say that the Swiss-based Barbara Keller is a lucky owner, and she is, but she has enjoyed so much stakes success with her runners, primarily fillies and mares, that she also exercises great judgement in what she acquires. Her list of big races winners, in her own colours, is headed by Blond Me, Odeliz and Dansant, while more recently White Lavendar and Bounce The Blue, have carried her silks into the winners’ enclosure. Oh, and also Encapsulation.

BREEDING INSIGHTS: Field Of Gold produces a majestic performance

1 week ago | theirishfield.ie | Leo Powell

THE boys reigned at Royal Ascot’s opening day, taking all seven races, Frost At Dawn coming closest to giving the fillies a win, beaten a neck in the Group 1 King Charles III Stakes. Three Group 1 races, a Group 2 juvenile contest and a listed 10-furlong race were highlights of the day’s programme.
BREEDING INSIGHTS: Minnie Hauk hits a high note in Oaks

2 weeks ago | theirishfield.ie | Leo Powell

ALMOST a century after the death of her famous namesake, the equine Minnie Hauk staked a claim to stardom with her victory in the Group 1 Oaks, one of the three major wins over the two days of the Epsom meeting for Aidan O’Brien’s Ballydoyle. Amalia Mignon Hauck, commonly known as Minnie Hauk, was born in 1851 in New York City, the only child of a German emigrant and his American wife. She was a precocious talent, making her public debut at the age of 14.
BREEDING INSIGHTS: Lambourn is another Derby reminder of Galileo

2 weeks ago | theirishfield.ie | Leo Powell

GALILEO had no horse up to classic standard in his final small crop of three-year-olds, but on Oaks day at Epsom he reminded us of his power and potency when his son Jan Brueghel won the Group 1 Coronation Cup with a never say die victory. Last year the colt was rated the best three-year-old stayer in Europe after his success in the Group 1 St Leger.

BREEDING INSIGHTS: Brueghel set to be a name to remember

2 weeks ago | theirishfield.ie | Leo Powell

NAMED after a famous painter, Jan Brueghel was beaten on his reappearance this year, when second to Galen in the Group 3 Alleged Stakes. This was a first defeat for last year’s winner of the Group 1 St Leger at Doncaster. The four-year-old redeemed himself with a battling victory in the Group 1 Coronation Stakes at Epsom, the first of three wins in the feature races over the two days of that meeting for Ballydoyle.
