• FORMER Coolmore Danehill shuttle sire Duke Of Marmalade has sired his first Group One winner in the French Oaks at Chantilly.

A multiple G1 winning son of Danehill was sold last year to stand at South Africa’s Drakenstein Stud.

His 3YO filly Star Of Seville (Duke Of Marmalade x Stage Presence by Selkirk) continued a remarkable season for her trainer John Gosden and jockey

Frankie Dettori by winning Sunday’s G1 Prix de Diane after their Epsom Derby success with Golden Horn.

Star Of Seville beat Physiocrate (Doctor Dino) and Little Nightingale (Muhtathir), turning around her failure in the Epsom Oaks won by Qualify nine days earlier.

• JUDDMONTE Farms champion sire Dansili reached the coveted mark of 100 stakeswinners in Ireland on Sunday.

The son of Danehill, who will cover mares to Southern Hemisphere time at Banstead Manor in the UK later this year, brought up the century when his 3YO filly Words (Dansili x Moonstone by Dalakhani) won the G3 Munster Oaks at Cork.

It was a quinella result for Dansili as another of his fillies Carla Bianca finished second.

• JAPAN’S champion sire Deep Impact has 63 stakes winners on the board after A Shin Hikari led home a trifecta for the son of Sunday Silence in the G3 Epsom Cup in Tokyo on Sunday.

The 4YO A Shin Hikari, out of the Storm Cat mare Catalina, beat other Deep Impact runners Satono Aladdin and Decipher.

A Shin Hikari, a previous Listed winner, is one of Deep Impact’s 52 stakes winners in Japan.

• SHAMARDAL’s global tally of stakeswinners rose to 79 when Secret Sham, ridden by Nash Rawiller, won the HKG3 Premier Cup at Sha Tin on Sunday.

The 5YO gelding is from the Rivotious mare Confidential Miss.

• KENTUCKY based stallion Gemoligist will shuttle to Haras Santa Olga Farm in Chile for the 2015 southern hemisphere breeding season.

Gemoligist, who has been standing with his sire Tiznow at Winstar Farm for the past three northern hemisphere seasons, will shuttle to Haras Santa Olga near Santiago.

Gemologist, sold for $310,000 as a foal at Keeneland, is a half brother to eight winners including the Listed winner Clear Destiny from the unraced Mr Prospector mare Crystal Shard, a sister to the G2 winner Withallprobability.

Gemoligist won the G1 Wood Memorial for Todd Pletcher.

• FORMER champion two-year-old Dabirsim will relocate to Haras de Grandcamp in France after standing for two seasons at Gestut Karlshof in Germany.

In his first season at stud Dabirsim covered 133 mares, believed to be a German record, and is reported to have covered at least 100 mares this year.

His dam Rumored, a daughter of Royal Academy and Oaks d'Italia heroine Bright Generation, was second in the G1 Moyglare Stud Stakes.
