213 for Dubawi
Darley’s Dubawi (Dubai Millennium) notched up stakes winner number 213 on Saturday when the Mark Johnston-trained Maydanny (5 g ex Attraction by Efisio) won the Doonside Cup (Listed, 1m2f) at Ayr. Bred by Floors Farming who bred and raced his multiple Group One winning dam, Maydanny was bought for 1,350,000gns at Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale in 2017 by Shadwell Estate Company. He is a half-brother to Group Two winner Elarqam (Frankel) and Group Three winner Fountain Of Youth (Oasis Dream) and his brother will be offered by Watership Down Stud at the forthcoming Tattersalls October Yearling Sale - Book 1.
37 for Declaration Of War
The Archie Watson-trained Nazanin (2 f ex Woodland Scene by Act One) became stakes winner number 37 for Declaration Of War (War Front) when the Blue Diamond Stud-bred filly got up in the final strides to beat Canonized (Acclamation) in the Firth Of Clyde Stakes (Gr 3, 6f) at Ayr on Saturday.
“Nazanin has been taking huge steps forward,” said winning jockey Hollie Doyle. ”In the Lowther last time the ground was very quick and I felt as though she didn’t let herself down. Today I let her use herself and she’s got through that ground lovely.
“She’s been highly tried on her last two runs so it’s always a bit worrying, you don’t know whether you’re over-facing them but we’ve always known she’s got the ability.”
Third stakes winner for Ivawood
Ivawood (Zebedee) sired stakes winner number three on Saturday when the William Haggas-trained and Tom Marquand-ridden Hurricane Ivor (4 g ex Quickstep Queen by Royal Applause) won the World Trophy Stakes (Gr 3, 5f) at Newbury. The gelding scored by three quarters of a length over Moss Gill (No Nay Never). Ivawood stood for a fee of €3,000 at Haras du Mont Goubert this year.
77 for Dark Angel
The Yeomanstown Stud-based Dark Angel (Acclamation) sired his 77th stakes winner on Saturday when Wings Of War (2 c ex Futoon by Kodiac) won the Mill Reef Stakes (Gr 2, 6f) at Newbury. Trained by Clive Cox, Wings Of War scored by a head from 18-1 shot Hierarchy (Mehmas).
47 for Zoffany
Zoffany (Dansili), who died in January this year, sired stakes winner number 47 on Saturday when the Jessie Harrington-trained Astadash (4 f ex Starfish by Galileo) ran on impressively to score a three length victory in the Lanwades Fillies Stakes (Gr 3, 1m1.5f) at Gowran Park. Favourite Emaniya (Sea The Stars) finished second, with Sense Of Style (Zoffany) a neck further back in third.
