ELITE RACING CLUB BREEDING

PROGRAMME
 AUGUST 2019 REPORT
We received the upsetting news, on Christmas
Day 2018, that Roubles had lost her foal to
Dawn Approach, just a couple of months
before her due date. This was not a great start
to the 2019 breeding season, but she was
successfully covered by Mayson this spring
(2019) and is currently safely in foal.
All eyes were firmly on Furnace Mill Stud in
February, when the Club's star broodmare,
Marlinka, was due to foal. Her cover the
previous spring had been the subject of huge
excitement, as she was sent to the mighty
Frankel, thanks to the sale of Marsha in
December 2017. On 23 February, Marlinka
delivered a healthy colt foal and although he
looked a little weak in his hind limbs for a
couple of weeks post-foaling, he soon
strengthened up, and is now a lovely looking
individual. On 11 March, Zest, who joined the
Club's broodmare band in the spring of 2018,
foaled a healthy filly at Mount Coote Stud in
Ireland, under the care of Luke Lillingston.
Sadly, Zest suffered a severe tear during the
foaling, and this meant that she couldn't be
covered by Camelot, as previously planned.
Zest had travelled to Ireland to foal so that her
foal wouldn't have to endure a tiring journey
over the Irish Sea at just a few weeks of age.
As we couldn't cover Zest in 2019, she could
have stayed in England, but Mount Coote Stud
did an excellent job for us and it's probably safe
to say that we will be calling on their expertise
again in the future. Also in Ireland, but on a
more permanent basis, is Sistine. She foaled a
colt on 15 March by Gleneagles, and he is also
an attractive individual with plenty of
'presence'. Given Sistine's previous history
with laminitis and foot issues, it was decided
to wean her foal early so that Sistine could

concentrate on herself, without her health
being compromised by trying to feed a foal at
foot as well. The weaning went well and we
were lucky to find a brilliant foster mare in the
shape of Rosie. Rosie has taken care of the foal
really well and it was a positive outcome all
round. The vets have been delighted with
Sistine and didn't see any reason not to cover
her in 2019, so after a few discussions, a late
decision was made to have her covered by the
solid stallion, Dandy Man. Our final two foals
of the year were delivered at Star Cottage, on
27 April (out of Kind Of Hush by Oasis
Dream) and 29 April (out of Affinity by
Showcasing). Both foals were smashing types,
but neither lived beyond a couple of months of
age, having succumbed to a horrible infection.
The whole of Star Cottage's foal group was
affected and sadly, our two fillies never
recovered. Words can't describe the enormity
of this tragedy, both for the Club and the Star
Cottage team. Affinity and Kind Of Hush have
taken this sad episode as well as can be
expected, and the one bright light on the
horizon is that both mares are currently in foal
(Affinity to Farhh and Kind Of Hush to Sea
The Moon). In other sad news, China Tea
delivered a stillborn foal in May and, given her
recent breeding record, the decision has been
made to retire her. She is beautifully bred, and
her best offspring was Elgin, who is a high-
class hurdler and won the Grade 2 Kingwell
Hurdle en route to finishing fifth in the
Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival
in 2018.
Four maiden mares joined the broodmare band
to be covered for the first time in 2019 and, at
the time of writing, all are in foal. Marseille (in
foal to Mastercraftsman), Madison (in foal to
Zoffany), Harmonica (in foal to Tamayuz) and
Tribute Act (in foal to Lope De Vega) are all
lovely mares, and we hope that they will
produce some nice winners in due course.
Who knows? One of them may produce the
winner of our ninth Group 1 race!
Harmonica, being by excellent broodmare sire,
Pivotal, was always going to be an attractive
addition to the Club's broodmare band and it's
great news that she's safely in foal to Tamayuz.
Before she retired to the paddocks, she gained
some valuable black type when finishing third
in a Listed race at Capannelle in Italy for Sir
Mark Prescott and Luke Morris. She had won
well at Hamilton on her previous start, and she
was a filly who loved soft ground.
On the track, Elgin (by Duke Of Marmalade
out of China Tea), not only proved his prowess
over hurdles in 2018, but also won a couple of
races on the Flat. He had never been
campaigned on the level previously, but he's
clearly well above average and is now rated 98

in that sphere. After suffering a tendon injury
last summer, he has been off the track for over
a year, but the hope is that he will return to
action in the winter of 2019.
Judicial continues to fly the flag for the Club
at the highest level and, although he has been
unlucky with ground in his most recent starts,
he gained his twelfth career victory at
Newmarket on 19 July 2019 in an exciting
match (two-horse) race with previous Royal
Ascot winner, Encore D’Or. Judicial himself
ran at Royal Ascot in 2019, but heavy rain on
the day of the race put paid to any chance he
might have had. Trainer Julie Camacho will be
hoping for a dry late summer and autumn for
our son of Iffraaj, so that he can show his best.
There are a number of extremely exciting and
well-bred prospects yet to hit the track or yet
to hit top gear and we will be hoping that the
Club's breeding programme continues to
develop and strengthen as the search
continues for our next potential superstar.

AFFINITY is a superbly-bred mare, being by one of the world’s greatest-ever sires and broodmare
sires, Sadler’s Wells. Also, she is a half-sister to the world champion and multiple Group 1 winner
Soviet Song, as well as the Grade 1 Triumph Hurdle winner, Penzance. Trained for the Club by the
late Sir Henry Cecil, Affinity came to hand early on in her three-year-old career and was placed in
all six starts for the legendary trainer, winning on her first attempt in handicap company. Affinity
stayed middle-distances very well and she has the potential to become a leading broodmare. Her
second offspring, Zest, won her maiden as a two-year-old and went on to score again at three,
four and five, before adding black type to her pedigree by coming second and third in Listed races.
Her third foal, Harmonica (see page 6) won two races and achieved black type when finishing
third in an Italian Listed race at the end of 2018, helping to confirm what an excellent broodmare
Affinity has become.

HARMONICA is the fourth foal out of the beautifully-bred Club broodmare, Affinity, herself a younger half-sister
of the Club's legendary top-class miler, Soviet Song. Like her dam's illustrious half-sister, Harmonica achieved all
her best form over a mile, winning two handicaps from six starts in 2018, after showing promise in three runs at
two. Her sire, the top-class sprinter Pivotal, was trained by Sir Mark Prescott and Harmonica added herself to the
long list of winners to have resided at his famous Heath House Stables in Newmarket, winning two one-mile
handicaps at three years (including on her seasonal debut). Like many of her family, she achieved black type
during her racing career, having placed third in a Listed race at Capannelle, Italy, on her final start before retiring
to the breeding paddocks. As such, she is one of the newest additions to the Club's select band of broodmares
and is currently in foal to Tamayuz, a dual-Group 1-winning miler at three.

disappointing. She was not helped by having an operation on her stifles prior to entering
training, but was retired from racing following her first run in a handicap, aged three. She
was sent to Kodiac the following season, and produced Maurice Dancer, who has started
his career with Julie Camacho, and looks as though he could become a decent racehorse.
Kind Of Hush is in foal to top stallion Sea The Moon, which is an exciting covering for this
daughter of Affinity.

MADISON is the unraced sixth foal out of the former Club broodmare, Kalinova, who was a younger Red
Ransom half-sister of the Club's five-time Group 1 winner, Soviet Song, and Grade 1 Triumph Hurdle
winner, Penzance. Kalinova showed sufficient promise at two to warrant an early entry in the Group 2
Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot, but she was diagnosed with kissing spines (interference between
adjacent vertebrae) and was retired to the Club's breeding programme without having raced. Of
Kalinova's five foals to race to date, her third foal, Stars Above Me (Exceed And Excel) has proved her
best to date, winning once for Roger Charlton at two, before switching to the US midway through 2014
and winning a valuable sprint at Saratoga when trained by Graham Motion. Madison was in training
with Julie Camacho, and showed promise, but niggling soundness issues prevented her from racing.
Also, as one by the prolific and popular sire Mastercraftsman (2yo champion and Irish Guineas winner),
she was a logical addition to the breeding programme and is currently in foal to Coolmore sire Zoffany,
who stands for a fee of €25,000.

MARLINKA is a daughter of Baralinka and is by Marju, a stallion who has ‘nicked’ with great
success with the Kalinka line over the years. Although not the biggest, Marlinka was a very fast
two-year-old and won three times over five furlongs in her only season of racing, taking a maiden
by six lengths, followed by a run in the Group 2 Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot, a conditions
race win at Windsor, and she gained full Black Type with a Listed race victory in France. Marlinka
has had an incredible start to her broodmare career, with her first offspring, Judicial, winning
twelve races to date and being rated as high as 109 in his career so far. However, Marlinka's
second offspring, Marsha, hit even greater heights, winning at two, and then claiming the Group
1 Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp at Chantilly in October 2016 as a three-year-old, and the Group
1 Nunthorpe Stakes as a four-year-old.

MARSEILLE is the third foal out of the Club's speedy juvenile Listed winner Marlinka, who is from the
well-known and highly-successful Kalinka line. Marlinka has developed into one of the Club's best
broodmares to date, having produced three winners (all over sprint distances) to date, including the
dual Group-1-winning sprinter, Marsha, and the prolific Judicial, a Group 3 winner who in the summer
of 2019 recorded his twelfth win in Club colours. Marseille added her name to the long list of the
Club's homebred winners when prevailing in a Newcastle maiden in the spring of 2017, and was rated
an above-average 74 at her peak. By the top-class miler Excelebration, who has himself produced
Group 1 winners such as Barney Roy, Marseille is the first daughter of Marlinka to be added to the
Club's breeding programme. She is in foal to the established Coolmore stallion Mastercraftsman,
who stood for €30,000 in 2019.

ROUBLES raced six times in Club colours, and her best run was probably her first, at
Doncaster, where she finished fifth. Roubles showed plenty of speed, but she struggled to
curb her enthusiasm and essentially raced too keenly. Despite not setting the world alight
on the track, the plan was always to retain Roubles for the breeding programme, as she is
the only daughter of our five-time Group 1 winner, Soviet Song. Soviet Song had a torrid time
at stud and only had two live foals, with Roubles being her last. Roubles is by the top American
sire, Speightstown, who has sired a number of top-class horses, including the Group 1 winner,
Lord Shanakill. Being out of Soviet Song, Roubles is from the famous Kalinka line and related
to the dual-Group 1 winner, Marsha. Roubles is currently in foal to Mayson.

SISTINE was a progressive individual on the Flat, and was placed before winning a 1m 6f handicap
in good style. After this success, she was retired to the paddocks, as her pedigree was boosted
substantially since her purchase as a yearling at Tattersalls Sales for 62,000 guineas. By the
successful sire Dubai Destination, Sistine is more importantly a ¾-sister to the Group-winner
Tarfah, whose son Camelot soon shot to prominence as the champion European two-year-old, and
then came agonisingly close to winning the Triple Crown in 2012, after winning the 2,000 Guineas,
the Derby and the Irish Derby. Sistine's first winner came in 2017, when her Dark Angel colt, Dark
Acclaim, won a maiden at Doncaster. After a barren year in 2017, she foaled a nice colt to
Gleneagles in March this year and is currently in foal to Dandy Man, who stood for €12,500 a

TRIBUTE ACT is the fourth and final foal from the late Sister Act, who was a winning full-sister to Soviet

And Excel, Tribute Act is more sharply bred than either of her half-siblings, Ribbons (Manduro) and
Goldmember (New Approach), who were both winners over 10f or further. Like Ribbons and Sister Act,
Tribute Act was trained by James Fanshawe, and made a winning debut on her sole start at two,
progressing at three to win two handicaps. 2018 brought further progress, with Tribute Act finishing a
neck-second in a fillies' handicap at Ascot to the smart Urban Fox, who won the Group 1 Pretty Polly
Stakes at The Curragh two starts later. By that point in the season, Tribute Act had been runner-up in
the Group 2 Duke Of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot and rounded off her campaign and career with
a run in the Group 1 Prix Rothschild at Deauville, achieving an excellent peak official rating of 106.
Tribute Act is in foal to the French 2,000 Guineas and French Derby winner, Lope De Vega, who stands
at Ballylinch Stud in Ireland for €80,000.

Haydock as a two-year-old to finish second, and went one better at Doncaster next time out. She
always showed trainer James Fanshawe plenty of ability at home, and she was given an entry in
the 1,000 Guineas the following year. Sadly, Zest did not flourish at the start of her three-year-old
career, but she improved with experience, winning races at three, four and five. As a four-year-old,
Zest gained black type by finishing second and third in two Listed races on the all-weather, and
her best form was unquestionably on this surface. She is an exciting addition to the Club's breeding
programme, having produced a very attractive filly by Oasis Dream in March. She has not been
covered this year as she suffered a tear while foaling.

LOPE DE VEGA has made a good impression with his runners to date, after a very exciting career
as a racehorse, when trained by Andre Fabre in France. He won both the 2,000 Guineas and the
Derby in France in a relatively short career, which ended at the close of his Classic year. He has
since sired the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes winner Belardo, as well as Jemayel, Endless Drama and
Very Special. Lope De Vega is another quality son of Shamardal.

MASTERCRAFTSMAN won seven of his twelve races, including the Railway Stakes, the National
Stakes and the Phoenix Stakes as a juvenile, followed by the Irish 2,000 Guineas, the St James's
Palace Stakes and the Diamond Stakes as a three-year-old. He chased home the great Sea The
Stars in the International Stakes and the Irish Champion Stakes, before finishing fourth in the
Breeders' Cup Mile. He has become a great stallion, with multiple Group 1-winning miler, Alpha
Centauri arguably being his best progeny, along with The Grey Gatsby, St Leger winner Kingston
Hill, Amazing Maria, and Master The World.

MAYSON was always a decent sprinter, but enjoyed his greatest year in 2012, when he won the
Abernant Stakes, the Palace House Stakes, and the July Cup in the same year. He finished off
his career with a narrow defeat in the Prix de l'Abbaye, where he was beaten a neck. He
immediately retired to Cheveley Park Stud and has developed into a quality stallion, breeding
tough, sound horses. Laugh A Minute is one of his highest earners, along with Zap, Global
Applause, Clubbable, and Dance Diva. Despite his consistency, his price has remained pretty
static throughout his career, and this looks an excellent nomination for Roubles.

SEA THE MOON was best known on the track for winning the German Derby by 11 lengths. His
family is quite unique, in that his dam was an unraced sister to two German Derby winners and a
German Oaks winner; it's quite unusual for so many winners of one type of race to be in the same
family. Sea The Moon covered his first book of mares in 2015 and stands in the UK at Lanwades
Stud for £15,000. He is very much an up-and-coming sire, with his first crop of two-year-olds only
reaching the racecourse last year, but classy early winners, which include the Listed-class Pondus
and Group 3 winner, Hamariyna.

SHOWCASING was a high-class sprinter as a two-year-old, and is known as an excellent source

of two-year-olds. He is a son of Oasis Dream and is out of Zafonic mare, Arabesque, making him
a half-brother to another sire, Camacho. Showcasing’s best progeny include Group 1 winner Quiet
Reflection and Group 2 winner-turned-sire Tasleet, and the dual Group 1-winner Advertise is his
highest profile representative to date. He began his career at stud in 2011 for a fee of £5,000,

TAMAYUZ is a lightly-raced son of Nayef and dual Group 1 winner who is developing into a very
good stallion. He won five of his seven races, and remained unbeaten as a two-year-old. His Group
1 victories include the Prix Jean Prat and the Prix Jacques le Marois. His best progeny include the
Lockinge winner Mustashry, the well-travelled Grade 1 winner Blonde Me, French 1,000 Guineas
winner Precieuse, Australian winner Gallic Chieftain, and the more familiar Desert Skyline and
Making Light. Tamayuz stands at Derrinstown Stud in Ireland, and his fee has hardly changed

ZOFFANY was a Group 1 winning two-year-old for Aidan O'Brien. He won five races from seven
starts as a juvenile, including the Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh. He failed to win as a three-year-
old, but was not beaten far by Frankel in the St James's Palace Stakes (the closest a horse got to
Frankel after his debut), and was just a head off winning the Prix Jean Prat. In his first season as
a stallion with runners, he sired three Royal Ascot winners in 2015 (Illuminate, Washington DC,
and Waterloo Bridge). Other progeny of note include Ventura Storm (Italian Derby winner), Fleeting,
Main Edition, and Foundation. He has stood at Coolmore Stud throughout his career, and has
also sired plenty of winners over hurdles.

This is a quality foal. He moves straight and well, and
is a very good walker. He is a reasonable size for his
age and has enough bone. He's certainly a nice size
with plenty of scope. His conformation is correct and
he has a lovely temperament, which counts for so
much. We are delighted to have him and Marlinka
here at Furnace Mill Stud, and we will watch his
career with interest.

Report written by Linda Coffey. Foal currently
based at Oak Lodge Stud, County Kildare, Ireland.
This foal is doing very well, and is thriving with his
foster mare, Rosie. At this stage, he seems to be the
most forward of Sistine's previous foals, although
Viola was not dissimilar. He has a good attitude and
laid back temperament. This could be down to the
influence of Galileo (sire of Gleneagles), who tends to
produce level-headed horses. His conformation has
always been basically correct; he's straightforward
and a well-balanced colt. He has a very good hind leg
and well-developed hind quarters. The last foal we
liked this much was the great Marsha, so let’s hope
this colt is even half as good as she was!

This foal has developed into a strong, sprinting type
of foal, with a very good backside on her and strong
forearms and gaskins. She is now big enough for her
age and has good bone. She is a very good walker.
Her neck needs to develop, as it is a little scrawny
(her mother's is a bit that way), but it is definitely
improving. At present, she has slightly small feet
which, again, I think will improve. She is a nice first
foal.
