Zoffany – Hannibal Barca (3 c ex Innocent Air by Galileo) made a successful debut for Joseph O’Brien when keeping one well to land the Gallinule Stakes (Gr 3, 1m 2f) at the Curragh.

New Group / Grade 1 winners
Adlerflug – Progressive four-year-old Alenquer (4 c ex Wild Blossom by Areion) became the sixth elite-level winner for the late Adlerflug (In The Wings) when he provided the in-form William Haggas stable with more big race glory by taking out the Tattersalls Gold Cup (Gr 1, 1m 2.5f) at the Curragh. Already the winner of a Royal Ascot Group 2 and a pair of Group 3 races, Alenquer has now been successful in five of his ten races following his win over the highly regarded High Definition (Galileo) and Cox Plate (Gr 1, 2040m) winner State Of Rest (Starspangledbanner) by a neck and the same. An 80,000gns but out of Book 1 at the Tattersalls Yearling Sale, having sold as a foal for €18,000, Alenquer is the second foal out the German winner Wild Blossom (Areion) who is a half-sister to German Listed juvenile winner Wilder Wein (Soldier Hollow).
Frankel – Forty years after training his first winner in the Irish 1,000 Guineas (Gr 1, 1m), Dermot Weld sent out his fifth winner of the Irish Classic when Homeless Songs (3 f ex Joailliere by Dubawi) slammed her rivals at the Curragh. In a move reminiscent of her sire Frankel (Galileo), for who she became the 21st individual elite-level winner, Homeless Songs effortlessly strode away from her field to cross the line a comfortable five and a half lengths clear of Tuesday (Galileo), a sister to multiple Group 1 winner Minding, who went into the race as favourite for next week’s Epsom Oaks (Gr 1, 1m 4f), with the runner-up’s stablemate Concert Hall (Dubawi) keeping on into a never closer third, another half a length back. Now the winner of three of her five starts, two of those victories coming in stakes company, Homeless Songs, who carries the colours of her breeders Moyglare Stud, is the second foal out of the Listed-winning Dubawi (Dubai Millennium) mare Joailliere, making her a half-sister to the ill-fated Listed winner Reve De Vol (Siyouni), who had one start for Annabel Neasham in Australia, finishing unplaced in the Golden Eagle (1500m).

Gun Runner – Early Voting (3 c ex Amour D’Ete by Tiznow) provided US Horse of the Year Gun Runner (Candy Ride) with a Classic winner from his first crop when he became the fifth individual elite-level winner for the Three Chimneys-based sire with a victory in the Preakness Stakes (Gr 1, 9.5f). Lining up at Pimlico off the back of wins in Grade 3 and Grade 2 company on his previous two starts, the Chad Brown-trained colt justified the decision of his connections to miss the Kentucky Derby (Gr 1, 10f) as he fought hard to see off the challenge of favourite Epicenter (Not This Time), who again had to settle for second spot in a Triple Crown race. A length and a quarter split the front two crossing the line with Creative Minister (Creative Cause) another two and a quarter lengths away in third. Bought for for US$200,000 by Triphammer Farm from the Hill ‘n’ Dale Sales Agency consignment at the 2020 Keeneland September Yearling Sale, Early Voting’s dam, Amour D’Ete, is a daughter of two-time Breeders’ Cup Classic (Gr 1, 10f ) winner Tiznow (Cee’s Tizzy).

Lombardo was bred by Burnewang North Pastoral and sold for $300,000 to Price and Aquis at the Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale in 2018.
