remarks . the entities examined from the río usumacinta and lago izabal basins , formerly treated as cathorops aguadulce ( e . g . castro - aguirre et al . , 1999 ; miller et al . , 2005 ; betancur - r . and willink , 2007 ) , are treated herein as c . kailolae ( see below ) . cathorops aguadulce and c . kailolae form a species complex , which is diagnosed by the presence of fleshy papillae on the mesial and lateral surfaces of first two gill arches ( fig . 3 ) . more material examination is required to determine whether the populations reported by miller et al . ( 2005 , map 6 . 144 ) from other localities ( i . e . río panuco , río tecolutla , río coatzacoalcos , and gulf of mexico ) should be separated .

remarks . despite the fact that the lago izabal and the río usumacinta basins are presently isolated , no important meristic or morphometric differences were observed between the populations from these two localities at this time . type specimens were restricted to the lago izabal basin because future studies ( e . g . phylogeographic approaches ) might reveal some differences between the two populations . cathorops kailolae is closely related to c . aguadulce ( see remarks of c . aguadulce ) .

the madamango sea catfish cathorops spixii inhabits shallow coastal waters , from lagoons and river mouths to hypersaline waters . it is generally accepted that ariids use estuaries as spawning and nursery areas , and outer areas for feeding [ 25 ] . they prey mainly upon the zoobenthos , especially crustaceans and polychaetes , and commonly also consume small fish [ 26 ] , [ 27 ] . corroborating some of their k - strategist characteristics ( well - developed parental care , few and large eggs ) , c . spixii shows slow growth , with the largest individuals reaching around 30 cm in total length .
distribution . material examined of cathorops kailolae comes from the lago izabal basin in guatemala ( type locality ) and the río usumacinta basin in mexico and guatemala ( fig . 6 ) . because the main arm of the río usumacinta flows into the río grijalva near its mouth , the population reported by miller et al . ( 2005 , map 6 . 144 ) from the río grijalva is probably conspecific with c . kailolae , but this requires confirmation . this species inhabits chiefly freshwaters , but apparently also present in high salinities , as in laguna de términos ( miller et al . , 2005 ) .
distribution . cathorops aguadulce was described based on material from río tesechoacán , río papaloapan basin in veracruz , mexico . without considering the populations from the río usumacinta / río grijalva and río polochic / lago izabal watersheds ( see remarks ) , miller et al . ( 2005 , map 6 . 144 ) suggested that c . aguadulce occurs from río coatzacoalcos northwestwards to río panuco as well as in the gulf of mexico ( fig . 6 ) . the species inhabits large to medium - sized rivers , lagoons and small drainages ; typically freshwaters , but also occurring in marine waters ( miller et al . , 2005 ) .

cathorops spixii has been reported from a wide variety of environments , and is generally thought to use estuaries as nursery areas for both spawning and growth [ 22 ] , [ 25 ] ; although some studies indicate that these areas are not necessarily used for reproduction [ 35 ] . the data from the present study revealed some variation in the abundance of the c . spixii population over the study period and areas . a peak in the number of individuals in march and april 2004 was also observed for other species in the area ( data not shown ) , indicating that this feature of the population may have been linked to a major event in the area , which would have attracted a wider range of the surrounding ichthyofauna to this part of the bight .

in the present study , c . spixii was the most abundant species of 61 caught from august 2003 through october 2004 ( data not shown ) , totaling 6072 individuals , and comprising 27 . 8 % of the total catch in the period . similarly , c . spixii was also the most abundant fish in other coastal studies in the western atlantic . this species is potentially subject to overexploitation caused by the shrimp fishery , and to the many other human impacts occurring in these areas . therefore , even though c . spixii has a low economic value , population studies are needed to develop knowledge of the species and its habitat areas , and to implement effective management of the habitats .
caraguatatuba bight ( 23° 37′s to 23° 44′s and 45° 24′w to 45° 26′w ) is about 16 km long and contains several sandy beaches . two homogeneous areas , i . e . , two areas that are some distance apart but have as similar features as possible , named south and north , each 2 . 0 × 0 . 8 km in extent , were selected so as to avoid as much as possible the influence of rivers entering the bight ( for more detail see [ 28 ] ) . this procedure better represented the whole bight , particularly shallow sites with relatively little continental influence . the south area extends from porto novo to palmeiras beaches ; it has a gentler slope , and is on the side of the bight where the juqueriquerê river , the largest river , enters the bight . the north area , between indaiá and centro beaches , has a steeper slope and is on the side where the smaller lagoa and santo antônio rivers enter the bight .
sampling was performed monthly from august 2003 through october 2004 , under license from the appropriate federal environmental agency ( ibama - diren no . 08 / 2001 ) , in caraguatatuba bight . in each area , the beach length of 2000 m was divided into 10 - m intervals , and three sampling stations were randomly selected from these 200 possibilities in each month . the position of the station was stored in a gps at mlw ( mean low water ) . from this point , a fishing boat ( class g2m , 11 m long with a 22 - hp engine ) performed 800 - m trawls perpendicular to the beach , starting at a point 400 to 1600 m distant from the mlw line . this interval is equivalent to depths from 1 to 4 m . the trawling speed was 1 kt , and the trawl was performed with a bottom otter trawl with 2 . 0 cm mesh , mouth aperture 1 . 6 m high and 6 . 0 m long , and bag depth 3 . 5 m .
the fish were then removed from the net and immediately preserved in a 10 % formalin solution in order to paralyze the enzyme action , preserving the digestive - tube contents . after sorting and identification , the specimens were preserved in 70 % ethanol , and then measured ( total and standard length , cm ) . a total of 100 individuals ( 25 for each season ) were selected from the total of 5970 individuals obtained over the sampling period , with the use of a random - digits table . an abdominal - ventro - sagittal incision was made from the anal aperture to the pelvic - fin insertion , and the digestive tube was removed and its length measured ( from the beginning of the esophagus to the end of the rectum ; dtl ) . the contents of each digestive tube were identified and the volume of each group in each stomach was measured . the nematodes found in the digestive tract were considered to be parasites rather than food items , because they showed no sign of digestion .
the mean number and size of individuals ( + se ) of c . spixii were calculated for months and areas ( south and north ) . two - way anovas ( area × month ) were performed to test the distribution patterns and were replaced by the equivalent non - parametric tests when necessary , i . e . , sheirer - ray - hare two - way anova of ranks ( for abundance , equal sample sizes in each cell ) and kruskal - wallis and mann - whitney for size distribution ( months and areas , respectively ) . the relationship between total and standard length was calculated through a linear regression . standard length was used to perform all further analyses .
growth parameters were estimated based on von bertalanffy growth curves , by using the fisat software and following the methodology proposed by the elefan i and shepherd′s routines , and were combined in a general k - scan [ 29 ] , to search for a common peak of optimum goodness - of - fit , before refining the parameter analysis . because the length of the largest individual collected was below the maximum length recorded in previous studies ( 30 cm total length ; [ 6 ] , [ 25 ] ) , literature values were used as the basis to define an asymptotic length range for the purpose of the analysis . we assumed a range of values , for the asymptotic length , between the maximum recorded in the literature ( ∼30 cm tl ) and its division by 0 . 95 [ 30 ] . this latter value was rounded up to slightly increase the range of values ; the former was not rounded up , since a value lower than a previously observed length does not seem to fit the definition “infinitely old” . since literature values refer to species ' total length ( tl ) , we used the regression fit for our sample to adapt these base values for the calculation of the asymptotic length .
based on the values determined as above , the total mortality index ( z ) was estimated through the use of the length - converted catch curve ( the rate at which the number of individuals decreases over time ) , by the slope of the linear regression : log e ( n / δt ) = a + b t ; where n is the number of individuals in a given length class , δt is the time needed for the fish to grow through this length class , t is the mean age of individuals in this length class , a is the regression intercept , and b , with the sign changed , is the estimate of z [ 31 ] .
in the dietary analysis , for each stomach item the frequency of occurrence ( fo ) and percent volume ( v ) were calculated , where fo was calculated as the percentage of stomachs containing food , and v was calculated by dividing the volume of each food category by the weight of all items in the respective digestive tract . because of the fragmentation of the items in the digestive tube , the numerical composition was not calculated . the amount of unidentified ( n . i . ) content ( organic matter , om ) was apportioned among the identified items . the values obtained were then graphed , as proposed by costello [ 30 ] , to calculate an index of dietary importance ( iai ) as proposed by kawakami and vazzoler [ 32 ] : iai = foi * vi / σ ( foi * vi ) . this index was then used to calculate the similarity index ( ps ) proposed by schoener [ 33 ] and feinsinger et al . [ 34 ] , to compare the similarity among seasons , described by the formula : ps = 1− ( 0 . 5 * σ | iai x −iai yi | ) , where iaixi is the index of dietary importance of item i in season x and iaiyi is the index of dietary importance of item i in season y .
the density of c . spixii individuals was noticeably higher in the south area . collections from the north area outnumbered those from the south in only 5 of the 14 months ( figure 1 ) . in general , the abundance of c . spixii decreased from august to november 2003 and then increased from december on , reaching the highest levels in march and april 2004 . an abrupt decrease was observed in may , and then a second peak of abundance in july . for the temporal and spatial changes in abundance , the non - parametric scheirer - ray - hare test indicated a significant interaction between the factors time and space ( h = 24 . 51 , d . f . = 13 ; p < 0 . 05 ) ; no significant differences were found among months ( h = 19 . 89 , d . f . = 13 ; p = 0 . 098 ) but were found between areas ( h = 6 . 96 , d . f . = 1 ; p < 0 . 01 ) , i . e . , density was higher in the south area . the interaction , however , indicated that the largest numbers of fish were concentrated in the south area in april 2004 ; and the smallest numbers were observed in both the south ( in november 2003 , september and october 2004 ) and north ( october 2003 , december 2003 , may and june 2004 ) areas ( figure 1 ) .
the increase in size of the lower modes indicated a slow growth of c . spixii individuals . in agreement , vbgf generated low values of k . asymptotic length was 27 . 3 cm ( sl ) and k was determined as 0 . 16 yr −1 , corresponding to an rn of 0 . 259 . the lower mode contributed greatly to the reliability of the growth function , because the constancy of the higher mode over time would be more likely to bias this analysis . the calculated t 0 value was −1 . 09 yr and t max was 17 . 63 yr . total mortality ( z ) was estimated as 1 . 01 yr −1 .
the relationship between the digestive tube length and the standard length ( dtl : sl ) of c . spixii resulted in the following regression equation : dtl = –1 . 84 * sl–5 . 48 ( cm ; 95 % ci ; p < 0 . 01 ; r 2 = 0 . 962 ) , for a sl ranging from 5 . 6 to 15 . 5 cm . these catfish had a diverse diet composed of 12 different prey groups , ranging from algae to fish . the most important groups were polychaeta , bivalvia and copepoda . bivalve siphons were treated separately from other remains of this group , because siphons may result from grazing rather than from predation . the overall importance values ( iai ) indicated a major importance of polychaeta and a lower and more equal importance of bivalvia and copepoda ( figure 5 ) . however , the relative importances varied over the study period .
the predominance of individuals shorter than 10 cm ( sl ) in the area is interesting . the area is not estuarine , but apparently still functions as a nursery for individuals in a late stage of development . the constancy of individuals of a similar size range ( 9 . 5 cm mode ) throughout the sampling period is most likely to result from the presence of different cohorts . this species ' smallest recorded size at first maturity is 9 . 5 cm sl [ 18 ] , [ 20 ] . rueda and defeo [ 7 ] , in colombia , found virtually no mature individual of c . spixii under 15 cm in length ( tl ) , which corresponds to approximately 12 . 5 cm sl according to the estimates for the present population .
a possible explanation is that larger individuals are more often caught by shrimpers as bycatch . because the biomass of the ichthyofauna is more than four times that of the shrimp caught [ 36 ] , this pressure is very likely to occur to some extent , but is not enough to explain the population structure observed here . a sufficiently strong pressure on larger ( mature ) individuals to nearly eliminate them is consistent with the large contingent of younger individuals present in the area . furthermore , the absence of individuals smaller than 4 cm during most of the sampling period cannot be explained by invoking the same net selectivity . therefore , if the individuals found in this area were not underdeveloped – the species can reach 30 cm in total length - the reproductively active individuals of this population must be located elsewhere .
therefore , although estimates of parameters may closely approximate the real values , it is necessary to carefully consider population features during the analysis and also after its conclusion , especially for management purposes . here , the entry of a younger cohort , represented by the smaller mode , provided important information for the estimation of body - growth parameters , with a reasonable value of rn . however , the high growth rate of this young cohort , along with the low occurrence of larger individuals in the study area must be taken into account . the high longevity estimated through this model , along with a low growth constant , concords with the literature information and with other k - strategist characteristics of this species [ 39 ] . in turn , if older individuals are leaving the area , this implies that the mortality rate includes the number of individuals that actually out - migrated , and which would , in this case , be the major factor responsible for the high value obtained .
the small amounts of bivalve siphons and fish scales ingested suggest that this species also behaves as a grazer , but it is more likely that they represent incidental ingestions , which matches its bottom - foraging behavior . also , the ingestion of scales may be due to sampling artifacts . even though they intentionally prey on scales - there are reports of ingestion of scales by ariids , mainly juveniles [ 41 ] – it is not known if this results from lepidophagy or necrophagy .
environmental conditions affecting the local bottom communities would , therefore , be the factor most responsible for the observed low percentage of similarity between seasons . melo and teixeira [ 19 ] found large numbers of polychaetes in the diet of the marine catfishes arius rugispinis and c . spixii during the dry season in maceió , alagoas , northeastern brazil , contrasting with higher proportions of crustaceans and fish scales during the rainy season . these differences were attributed to the hypoxic conditions in the area during the dry season , and therefore the items ingested were also attributed to their availability rather than to a preference of the predator itself .
chalom et al . [ 27 ] , studying estuarine areas , found , in addition to seasonality , ontogenetic variation in the diet of this catfish . similarly , díaz and bashirullah [ 23 ] found that younger individuals of c . spixii have a more diverse diet than larger ones . changes in dietary habits during development are commonplace and are related to an increasing efficiency of energy intake , due to their size relative to their prey and to changes in the morphology of the digestive tract and oral apparatus . this pattern agrees with the data for population biology observed here , because the study area , although it has more oceanic than estuarine characteristics , harbored primarily young individuals .
taken together , this information indicates that the bight as a whole is important for the development of this catfish ; one prominent peak of recruitment was observed throughout the year ( and was important to guide the analysis of body growth parameters ) ; the body - growth constant was consistent with a k - strategist species ; individuals in this area showed an opportunistic feeding habit , preying mainly on low trophic levels . however , given the lack of older individuals , which probably migrated to other areas , these features must be carefully considered for extrapolations and comparisons to other areas / populations . the specific features of the population in this area must be taken into account for management purposes .

lillie langtry ( foaled 27 february 2007 ) is an irish thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare .

bred at a small stud in county cork she was sold as a yearling and raced for the coolmore organisation .

as a two-year-old , she was one of the best juvenile fillies in ireland winning three of her seven races including the fillies ' sprint stakes , debutante stakes and tattersalls timeform fillies ' 800 as well as finishing third in both the albany stakes and the moyglare stud stakes .

she was injured when finishing unplaced in the breeders ' cup juvenile fillies turf .

in 2010 she recorded her biggest wins when recording group one victories in the coronation stakes at royal ascot and the matron stakes at leopardstown .

she was retired at the end of the year with a record of five wins from eleven races .

just look at the lillie langtry . endless time , melodic motion ( you would expect ) , dubka , diamonds pour moi , dawn horizons and harlequeen all go on the ground .
there is a maximum field of 22 in the albany but it could boil down to a two - horse race and , if lillie langtry can see off the american raider , the o ' brien team will certainly have a top - class filly on their hands .
newmarket 1 . 50 : the highly regarded lillie langtry was ineffective in testing conditions at the curragh last time but still managed a creditable third . she is tough and can bounce back .
this horse’s maiden win has also worked out really well as the horse he beat by two lengths , daira prince , has won twice subsequently and is now rated 86 .
he hit lillie on occasion and then in his remorse would buy her back with gifts including a race horse and a one hundred and twenty foot steam yacht called the white layde .
lillie langtry considered merman the best horse in her large string and even named her cottage in beaumont , new jersey , after him . another of her horses , uniform , also won at lewes in 1899 . i couldn’t find a record of lillie being present at a lewes race meeting but would be surprised if she had not attended as she was known to frequent nearby brighton .
gile na greine put up a bold effort from the front , but lillie langtry wore her down inside the final furlong to score by a length and a quarter , with jacqueline quest in third .
aidan o’brien and johnny murtagh recorded a double this evening after they landed the feature race on this evenings card , the debutante group 2 stakes when lillie langtry ran out 1 3 / 4 length win .
that would have been hard to guess from lillie langtry ' s debut at naas , where she finished second to kitty kiernan , but next time out in a group three race at the same track lillie langtry turned that form round to the tune of five lengths , beating jim bolger ' s filly with a sharp turn of foot . not surprisingly , bolger has declined a re - match with kitty kiernan .
david ord has a horse - by - horse guide to saturday ' s darley july cup and he ' s siding with a potential improver to shake - up the established sprinting stars .
aidan o’brien continued on his winning ways at leopardstown today , completing an opening treble when his lillie langtry benefited from a ‘peach of a ride’ from johnny murtagh to win the group 1 coolmore fusaichi pegasus matron stakes .

famous for an electric burst of speed that none of her rivals possess , goldikova is the darling of european racing and is the first horse to receive the cartier older horse award more than once .
dubka has been well backed for the lillie langtry ( 2 . 25 ) and though the double - figure prices have gone about her i still want her on side at 9 / 1 ( ladbrokes , 8 / 1 generally ) .
goldikova , undeniably the outstanding champion of recent times , is named horse of the year at the 2010 cartier racing awards , and the exceptional racemare also receives the cartier older horse award for the second year running .
what do you get if you mix a theme park , with “homes of the stars” and horse racing . chances are you might come up with something like living legends horse park in australia . shane mcnally takes us there .

appleby’s horse has some very good form to his name and looks to have plenty more to offer from a lenient mark of 87 .
this is a horse that ran on the all - weather and you can get a lot of experience there on the tight tracks . when he went to ripon [ in april on his most recent run ] in a relatively low - grade race , he was such a green horse and everything went wrong and he still won . that ' s when we realised that we had a class horse .

for a short time lewes was home to another american horse , duettiste , who had actually been born in france before “emigrating” to the usa .
i like the : 8 : lillie langtry and : 11 : junia tepzia . junia ' s races may have not been against the same quality as lillie , but the ease in which she ' s won her two races says alot . just looking at her results says she ' s quality filly . if i get some odds on her i may take a splash on her . this is an exacta box , and may wheel a tri with 4 horsies in the 3 hole .
the winners of the british , irish and french 1 , 000 guineas go head to head in the coronation stakes at royal ascot today . but there is also a potentially fascinating clash of fillies in the race which opens the card when the two - year - olds lillie langtry and aegean line up for the albany stakes .
derrick smith , mrs john magnier and michael tabor’s seven - times group 1 winner and multiple champion minding ( ire ) ( galileo { ire } –lillie langtry { ire } , by danehill dancer { ire } ) has been retired from racing according to multiple reports . no plans on her future as a broodmare were immediately revealed .
o ' brien did not send a single runner to the royal meeting on wednesday and had saddled 16 horses without success before this victory . lillie langtry did not look like the representative of an out - of - form stable , though , as johnny murtagh brought her from mid - division to take a decisive lead a furlong out .

rival trainers will not be comforted by ward ' s declaration that aegean is
going to be the best chance of the week
. but down ballydoyle way there is also huge confidence in lillie langtry ( 2 . 30 ) , with suggestions that she could be the best two - year - old filly ever to come out of the aidan o ' brien stable .
snow fairy , who gained two classics and won a japanese group one impressively on sunday , takes the cartier champion three - year - old filly award from prix de diane heroine sarafina , urltoken 1 , 000 guineas and poule d’essai des pouliches winner special duty , etihad airways falmouth stakes scorer music show and lillie langtry , successful in the coronation stakes and coolmore fusaichi pegasus matron stakes .

another horse that clocked up an impressive record of sea miles was the australian - bred merman . owned by the celebrated music hall singer , actress and royal favourite lillie langtry , merman became an impressive winner of the cesarewitch ( prize money £120 , 000 ) , ascot gold cup , goodwood cup and jockey club cup . he also won the prestigious lewes handicap in 1897 . the field magazine reported that merman , as in the tradition of australia , ran without plates ( shoes ) therefore finding himself instantly familiar with the hard ground that was characteristic of the lewes course .
gelded since he was last seen , there’s plenty of reasons to expect significant improvement from this horse and it’s always a positive to see silvestre de sousa booked on your selection .
the daughter of galileo , out of dual group one winner lillie langtry , is now a three - time winner at the cartier racing awards , having taken the cartier two - year - old filly award in 2015 when she won on three of her five starts , culminating with a pair of group one victories in the moyglare stud stakes at the curragh and the dubai fillies ' mile at newmarket .
minding on tuesday night was named the cartier horse of the year at the 26th annual cartier racing awards before an invited audience of 300 at the dorchester hotel , london , england .
unwind with an edwardian afternoon tea for two at bournemouth ' s langtry manor - a boutique hotel and restaurant based on the south coast . built in 1877 by edward vii for his mistress lillie langtry , the manor is now a chic seaside retreat . head to the restaurant ( or the peaceful garden in fine weather ) for a sumptuous afternoon tea spread . dine on a selection of finger sandwiches , scones with dorset clotted cream , strawberry jam , homemade cakes such as lemon drizzle , chocolate brownie , almond and black cherry bakewell , lemon posset and a choice of english breakfast , herbal or fruit infused teas or coffee .
every racing fan remembers lillie langtry , as she won two group 1 ' s as a three - year - old , winning the coronation stakes at royal ascot and then the matron stakes at leopardstown . this is her second offspring , with kissed by angels now a three - year - old and looking very smart with a very impressive maiden win and is in the reckoning for the irish 1000 guineas on sunday .
in addition , aurum finished third to the w . forrester owned and trained brothers gaulus ( 6yo , the winner ) and the grafter ( a half head second ) in the 1897 melbourne cup and then at the same carnival won a flying stakes on the third day and was successful twice on the fourth , including the c . b . fisher over two mile . half his melbourne cup carnival earnings were remitted to lillie langtry . aurum suffered feet trouble on the voyage to england that restricted his racing , but his trainer , the same one that had merman , claimed him the best horse in his stable .
even on an overcast afternoon , aidan o ' brien ' s sunglasses were firmly in place , but you did not need to peer into his eyes to feel the relief as lillie langtry gave him his first winner of the week . she was a length and a quarter too good for gile na greine in the group one coronation stakes and could mark a return to form for ballydoyle after an unusually slow start to the campaign .
today ' s riders include tv presenter aly vance , international eventer izzy taylor and dual olympic gold medalist in sailing , sarah ayton . the latter first sat on a horse just nine months ago .
gleneagles was hardly seen when his career nosedived , so it is with hope we don’t see a similar scenario with churchill , a horse that looked so promising when winning two classics in the spring .
destination europe has reason to celebrate the results of the world rankings , as of the top ten rated horses in the world , there were five europeans , three asians , one north american and one south african horse . 2014 was a year where europe showcased the many top - class breeders , trainers , horsemen and stallions that it has to offer and who continue to dominate the horse racing world .
cheering him on , no doubt , was his england owner lillie langtry , a sweetheart of the theatre revered as jersey lily , and also her royal lover , the then prince of wales and later king edward v11 . very much into racing , lillie enjoyed her best success with merman , earlier winner in england of the goodwood cup ( two mile ) , newmarket jockey club cup ( two mile ) and the newmarket cesarewitch ( two mile , two furlongs ) . used at stud with modest success in england and then germany , merman was one of a number of australians campaigned by lillie , all in the ownership of ‘mr jersey . ’ another , aurum , a son of the musket champion performer trenton , was one of the best horses to leave here , winning the vrc ascot vale stakes , sires’ produce stakes , c . b . fisher plate , vatc caulfield guineas and ajc champagne .

goldikova long since assured her place among horseracing’s greats in a stellar career that has yielded a european record of 12 group / grade one successes . included among those wins are three scintillating victories in the tvg breeders’ cup mile ( 2008 , 2009 & 2010 ) . goldikova takes the cartier older horse award for the second successive year and is also the recipient of the coveted cartier horse of the year award .
after race at leopardstown sat , 4th sep , 2010 ( 1st ) johnny gave lillie langtry a masterful ride . the filly didn ' t know she had a race and was only asked to race properly in the last furlong and a half . it was a peach of a ride . she is a very determined filly and was always very classy . her next race will be in the prix de l ' opera in france . a p o ' brien
so what on earth is going to appreciate this bog - like ground ? addeybb is by pivotal and has already won on easy going at haydock while lillie langtry hope diamonds pour moi is a winner on heavy so it ' s no surprise to see she ' s being backed . cardsharp might be worth opposing in the richmond and perhaps nebo is the one to take him on with . if he were called nemo , no doubt we ' d all be lumping on .
ballydoyle could be in for an amazing hour this afternoon when they have chances off a group one treble . o’brien saddles lillie langtry in the matron stakes ( 2 . 40 ) and rip van winkle ( 3 . 45 ) at leopardstown , while at haydock he runs starspangledbanner ( 3 . 35 ) in the betfred sprint cup . however , i fancy our jonathan might spring a huge surprise and spoil the party . he is a sporting nap at around 40 - 1 .
racecourse rumours had suggested that lillie langtry was as good a juvenile filly as o ' brien had ever sent to ascot before her close second in the albany stakes 12 months ago . this success takes her overall record to four from eight , but she looked unlucky in the irish 1 , 000 guineas last month and was also sent to california for the breeders ' cup last november . now , it seems she is ready to live up to the high opinion of both trainer and jockey .
lady aurelia creates history by becoming the first us - trained horse to win a cartier racing award . successful three times in four starts , the scat daddy filly takes the cartier two - year - old filly award .
minding wins the cartier horse of the year & cartier three - year - old filly awards after a glittering season that saw her win five group one prizes , with ryan moore up , over three different distances between may and october .
i like the : 8 : lillie langtry and : 11 : junia tepzia . junia ' s races may have not been against the same quality as lillie , but the ease in which she ' s won her two races says alot . just looking at her results says she ' s quality filly . if i get some odds on her i may take a splash on her . this is an exacta box , and may wheel a tri with 4 horsies in the 3 hole . junia has been my longshot play , i posted in a few topics here , luv her breeding for turf , the rock was horse of the world . and then there is rainbow quest . and the northern dancer and nathalma . step up in class here , yes , and she is a pacesetter , but i think she can rate . peter schiergen is a good conditioner , who had her before clement , and i like irish breds . fallon riding is another plus for me . outside post is problematic . tapitsfly is antoher interesting longshot ?

1208 : dubka has to be of interest in the markel insurance fillies ' stakes - or the lillie langtry as we know it . he ' s the selection of value bet expert ben linfoot , who has been in cracking form with a 40 / 1 each - way third on day one and an 11 / 1 winner yesterday with londinium ( who , incidentally , has been engaged to run again tomorrow ) . sir michael stoute ' s filly was last of seven at haydock last time but has bounced back from poor runs in the past and will certainly appreciate the ground .
turns out there ' s 27 of you in with a chance of landing the £50 , 000 . best of luck ! the only horse not covered is 14 / 1 outsider of the field yorkshiredebut , so we ' ll likely be shelling out the prizemoney soon . . .
she narrowly failed to give 4lb and a beating to cartier three - year - old colt , almanzor , in a top - class renewal of the qipco irish champion stakes at leopardstown in september , with cartier horse of the year minding , highland reel and dual derby winner harzand behind .
the highly - coveted horse awards were determined by points earned in pattern races during 2010 , combined with the opinions of a panel of racing journalists headed by brough scott , plus votes from readers of the racing post and the daily telegraph , a system that over the years has accurately rewarded supreme excellence .
in his maiden win at newmarket in may he beat john gosden’s zenon by a length , a horse that has won twice since and is now rated 94 . the third , mutarabby , who reopposes in this race , was three lengths in arrears and he also runs off 94 now after winning at chelmsford .
as is so often the case when a horse either dies or is sold , his record since has taken a marked turn for the better . if his current crop of three - year - olds were his first , we would be hailing him as a very promising sire . south africa ' s gain is ireland ' s loss .
the intermediate distance division of older horses was dominated by irish - bred horses from across the globe , where three of the four horses rated 123 were irish - bred and by irish stallions . aidan o’brien’s magician ( ire ) represented irish trainers , while hong kong champions designs on rome ( ire ) and military attack ( ire ) flew the flag for ireland abroad . within europe , olympic glory ( ire ) was crowned champion miler at a rating of 122 , while danehill dancer ( ire ) ’s esoterique ( ire ) and dalakhani’s integral topped the fillies’ category . mick winters’ brave missunited ( ire ) was awarded top older filly over extended distances , a deserved honour after a near - miss in the ascot gold cup and a win in glorious goodwood’s lillie langtry stakes .
when duke of marmalade retired to stud at coolmore at the age of five in 2009 , he seemed to have so much going for him . advertised to stand at $ 40 , 000 , he was the most expensive horse on their roster with a published fee ( galileo , danehill dancer and montjeu were all listed as
private
) .
workforce is the third foal of the unraced soviet moon , a full - sister to racing post trophy and st leger winner brian boru . the strapping home - bred son of 2 , 000 guineas winner king’s best was soon given the nickname ‘sefton’ at sir michael stoute’s freemason lodge stables , after the police horse injured in the 1982 hyde park bombings .
minding achieved cartier racing awards ' glory last year too , as she was crowned cartier two - year - old filly in 2015 when she enjoyed two g1 victories . her rivals in the cartier horse of the year category were almanzor , found , postponed and recent breeders ' cup turf winner highland reel . both found and highland reel are stable companions of minding .
also in england at the same time as merman was the grafter , a horse who went within a half head of two melbourne cup wins , following his second placing in1897 with victory the next year . a gelding , he won a number of races , including then high quality city and suburban handicap ( 10 furlongs ) on epsom , the home of the derby .
also on the board last week at goodwood was the improving three - year - old filly simple verse , who won the gr . 3 lillie langtry stakes . she is one of four stakes winners so far in duke of marmalade ' s third crop . remarkably , the other three are all classic winners : the gr . 1 deutsches derby winner nutan , the gr . 1 prix de diane heroine star of seville and the gr . 3 premio regina elena – italian 1 , 000 guineas winner sound of freedom . three of those stakes winners are fillies and it is notable that nine of duke of marmalade ' s first fourteen group winners are of that sex , as are five of his seven listed winners . suddenly in his third crop he has produced his first two gr . 1 winners . is there any explanation for the turnaround in his fortunes ?
in the outstanding cartier horse of the year category , goldikova dominated over investec derby and qatar prix de l’arc de triomphe hero workforce , triple group one - winning miler canford cliffs , sensational king george vi & queen elizabeth stakes ( sponsored by betfair ) victor harbinger , who had to retire after that race following an injury , and twice over , successful in the coral - eclipse stakes and emirates airline champion stakes .
in america diomed’s fortunes took an unlikely turn for the better and he went on to found a robust and lasting american equine dynasty . when , at the venerable age of 31 , diomed died he was declared a national hero ; one us newspaper reported : “there was as much mourning over his demise as there was at the death of george washington” . bowling green today is considered the “cradle of american horse racing” .
prior to 1885 , keens was a part of the lambs club , a famous theatre and literary group founded in london . its manager was albert keen . in 1885 keens chophouse opened independently under the ownership of albert keen , by then a noted figure in the herald square theatre district . keens soon became the lively and accepted rendezvous of the famous . actors in full stage make - up hurried through the rear door to “fortify” themselves between acts at the neighboring garrick theatre . by the time keens celebrated its 20th anniversary , you could glance into the pipe room and see the jovial congregations of producers , playwrights , publishers and newspaper men who frequented keens . in 1905 lillie langtry , actress and paramour of king edward of england , took keens to court for having denied her access to its gentlemen - only premises . she won her case , swept into keens in her feathered boa and proceeded to order one of our famous mutton chops .
goldikova stays in training next year and could add to her record - breaking total of 12 group / grade one triumphs by a european - based horse . her european victories this season came in the prix d’ispahan , queen anne stakes , prix rothschild and prix de la foret , while her only defeat was a runner - up finish on very soft ground behind the talented classic - winning three - year - old colt makfi .
the fifth award to go to a coolmore / o ' brien horse , in a stellar year , is cartier two - year - old colt , won by churchill . the galileo colt finished a superb campaign with group one victories in two of europe ' s best juvenile contests - the goffs vincent o ' brien national stakes and the dubai dewhurst stakes . the other nominees in this category were caravaggio , the last lion and mehmas .
workforce , a 6 / 1 shot for the investec derby on june 5 , put up a stunning performance as he closed on the pace - setting at first sight and drew away from that rival inside the distance for a seven - length victory in a course record time of 2m 31 . 33s , beating the previous record of 2m 32 . 31s set by lammtarra in 1995 . workforce is the only horse beaten in the dante stakes to win the derby .
in lewes he was under the care of harry escott , considered to be england’s best trainer of jump horses . duettiste’s target was the english grand national but in the end he didn’t run in that year . the horse won a major race at kempton and went on to take part in the national in 1923 but unfortunately fell at the third fence . taken back across the atlantic he soon resumed winning ways and is lauded as the best steeplechaser the usa has ever produced .
no horse had ever won three breeders’ cup races but goldiova rewrote the record books at churchill downs on november 6 , when she overcame an unfavourable wide draw and 10 top - class rivals to assure her place in the select pantheon of elite champions . goldikova once again unleashed a breathtaking burst of speed to surge clear of her rivals inside the final furlong and took the spoils by a length and three quarters from american turf champion gio ponti . she remains in training for 2011 .
whatever the explanation , success has come too late for duke of marmalade . following the disappointing results of his first crop , his book dropped to just thirty mares in 2013 . with no obvious star on the horizon , commercially it must have been a relatively easy decision last year for coolmore to accept an offer from the drakenstein stud in south africa to buy the horse . with its obsession with speed and precocity , unfortunately the market demands instant success and has no patience for the slow burners .
lady aurelia is the other history - maker , as she is the first horse trained in the usa to win a cartier racing award . following a breathtaking all - the - way win in the g2 queen mary stakes at royal ascot and victory in the g1 darley prix morny at deauville , she captures the cartier two - year - old filly award ahead of rhododendron , brave anna and roly poly . lady aurelia is owned by stonestreet stables , george bolton and peter leidel and trained by wesley ward .
he was expected to annex the group one coolmore nunthorpe stakes at york in august but had to settle for a valiant second behind 100 / 1 shot sole power in that five - furlong contest . he returned to six furlongs for his final start in the group one betfred sprint cup at haydock on september 4 . although the blistering brilliance of high summer had faded – perhaps not surprising for a horse that had been on the go in two hemispheres , without a break for 13 months – he finished a respectable fifth behind markab .
another australian bred horse to win a good race at royal ascot a century plus ago was the mare mons meg , annexer of the ascot gold vase ( two mile ) , but she was foaled to northern hemisphere time . she was by 1883 melbourne cup winner martini - henry , a son of musket , sire also of carbine ( first and second melbourne cup ) and trenton ( second and third melbourne cups ) , two top australian sires sent to england in mid age and in the background in thousands of pedigrees around the world today .
background : garry and suzanne brandt had their first runner in 2014 . the couple run the north london - based import business harlequin direct ltd and were tempted to dip their toes into racehorse ownership when meeting owner derrick bloy on holiday . harlequeen was only the second horse owned by the brandts , with their first being the four - time winner harlequin striker , also with mick channon before being switched to dean ivory’s yard this year . garry gave suzanne harlequeen for her birthday and his mother telma went racing for the first time at goodwood last year when harlequeen won .
why isn ' t la nez running on synth here ? love the storm creeks for sa . . . . not room in the
dirt
race ? dunno . might use her anyway , she has never finished out of the money in all 5 of her races at delmar , sa or hol ? jungle tale , the lion heart gal , nice stats too , another super longshot for exotics . la nez is in the 5 hole for this race right ? i like her to hit the trifecta . oops wrong juvie filly race . good question why she doesn ' t stay on the poly , maybe the reason is lillie and junia ?
the previous year he had really blossomed and had been crowned the champion older horse in europe , after winning his first five starts in ireland , france and england , all in gr . 1 company . his wins were headed by a particularly impressive success at royal ascot in the prince of wales ' s stakes and a clear cut triumph in the king george vi and queen elizabeth stakes . they culminated with a win in the juddmonte international , which had been rerouted to newmarket after york was waterlogged , in which he beat new approach into third . his season may have ended with two below par runs : in the arc ( where he was beaten under four lengths by zarkava ) and the breeders ' cup classic , but he had clearly established himself as a top - class performer , and throughout had shown an admirable toughness .
he was certainly at his best at that age and up to that point he had been something of a
nearly
horse . his only previous victory had come in a seven - furlong maiden at the curragh on his second start at two . after finishing runner - up to strategic prince in the gr . 3 vintage stakes on his next outing , he was found to have fractured a pastern and had to undergo surgery , with two screws being inserted . he returned from that injury to perform consistently well in the highest company at three . after finishing fourth in both the english and irish guineas , he went down by only a neck to his stablemate excellent art in the gr . 1 st james ' s palace stakes and then was second to another inmate of ballydoyle , dylan thomas , in the gr . 1 irish champion stakes . he ended the season by finishing third in the gr . 1 queen elizabeth ii stakes behind ramonti .
fame and glory ( gb ) , ( c . by montjeu ( ire ) ) , top rated older horse in ireland 2010 ( 11 - 13f . ) , top rated older stayer in england & ireland in 2011 , won 14 races from 2 to 6 years at home and in france and £2 , 314 , 114 including irish derby , curragh , gr . 1 , criterium de saint - cloud , saint - cloud , gr . 1 , tattersalls gold cup , curragh , gr . 1 , coronation cup , epsom , g . 1 , ascot gold cup , royal ascot , gr . 1 , royal whip stakes , curragh , gr . 2 , derrinstown stud derby trial stakes , leopardstown , gr . 2 and british champions long distance cup , ascot , gr . 3 , ballysax stakes , leopardstown , gr . 3 and placed second in derby stakes , epsom downs , gr . 1 and irish champion stakes , leopardstown , gr . 1 , st leger trial stakes , curragh , l . ; sire .

3 . 00pm will hayler reports goldikova looked to have the most straightforward task on her hands in the prix de la foret , but the filly had nothing left to give in the final stages as varenar and stephane pasquier swept past in the final 50 yards to spearhead a one - two for alain de royer - dupre . olivier peslier probably had to use a little too much petrol up in the opening stages to get across to the far rail from her wide draw and she was possibly not as well suited by the drop to seven furlongs as might have been expected , but even so this was a disappointing performance and it throws the betting for the breeders ' cup mile wide - open . principal british hope border patrol , unbeaten in four starts this season , was never able to land a blow from the rear of the field but kept on steadily in the closing stages and could still make up into a very smart performer next season . meanwhile , the field are going down for the sole british group one action of the day , the sun chariot stakes . despite her standout form claims , ghanaati looks short enough in the betting , considering that she has been on the go all season . it ' s also a rotten afternoon ' s weather and i could forgive any horse for not altogether fancying fully exerting herself .
the punters , too , had kept faith with o ' brien , sending the winner off favourite at 7 - 2 , while gile na greine was a 25 - 1 chance despite having finished third in the 1 , 000 guineas at newmarket last month . jacqueline quest , disqualified and placed second after passing the post in front in the newmarket classic , was third home in the colours of noel martin .
it ' s a relief for everybody , because everybody puts so much into it ,
o ' brien said .
to be part of the whole thing and to keep the whole thing going , we have to have results .
our horses were slow to come to hand this year , so we were always a little bit on the back foot . everyone else ' s horses were coming that little bit quicker than we were . our horses were running well and not getting beaten very far , which was encouraging , but it ' s great to be back .
you can only pedal so fast , because if you pedal too hard , the chain will come off . we were trying to pedal as fast as we can without the chain coming off and hopefully we might get there eventually .
she was by far our best filly last year ,
murtagh said ,
and going to the breeders ' cup , i was wondering how far we were going to win by . that didn ' t happen , but she came back well in our guineas and her home work had been very good .
you get spoiled a bit at ballydoyle when you ' re riding group one winner after group one winner . it has been a bit testing , but the next race is the most important one .
o ' brien and murtagh went on to complete a double , as mikhail glinka , the 2 - 1 favourite , took the queen ' s vase under an outstanding ride by the ballydoyle stable jockey , who got up in the final stride .
monterosso , who finished second in a maiden on the all - weather at lingfield in january , took the king edward vii stakes in striking fashion , despite drifting right after hitting the front .
at first sight , runner - up to workforce in the derby , was among his opponents , but johnny murtagh ' s mount could not kick clear as he had at epsom and was swamped soon after the turn for home .
it ' s one step at a time , but at the same time we ' ve been ambitious with him and pushed him up through the ranks ,
mark johnston , his trainer , said .
he ' s won a group two now and we ' ll go home and think about the plan . all frankie said to me when he got off was ' irish derby ? ' , so maybe .
the irish derby is a week on sunday , so might arrive too soon for monterosso , who has also been introduced into william hill ' s st leger market at 10 - 1 .
richard hughes rode his third winner of the week when memory arrived fast and late to win the latest renewal of the albany , beating margot did with 20 yards to spare . the winner had to make up a great deal of ground in the closing stages and is quoted at 33 - 1 for next year ' s 1 , 000 guineas .
she ' s a funny filly ,
hughes said .
she ' s small but she ' s as good a mover as i ' ve sat on for a while . we ' ve had a good few two - year - old fillies winning this year and she would be head and shoulders above the others .

, the beaten favorite in the nov . 6 breeders’ cup juvenile fillies turf , suffered a slab fracture in a knee during the race .
john magnier of coolmore , co - owner of the filly , was quoted in the racing post as saying ,
she has a small fracture in her knee . it was nobody ' s fault and everybody here at santa anita dealt with it efficiently . it ' s not a career - threatening injury . she will have a pin inserted in the knee on sunday and then she will follow on home in 10 days time .
out of the darshaan mare hoity toity , broke slowly and was never in contention . she finished eighth .
the filly had previously won three of her six starts including the debutante stakes ( ire - ii ) and coolmore stud fillies sprint stakes ( ire - iii ) .
the other owners are michael tabor and derrick smith . she is trained by aidan o ' brien .

dubka had taken over for ryan moore after a barging match with dawn horizons , while melodic motion and natural scenery threw down their challenges .
just as dubka had seen those off , though , buick found daylight on endless time and she flew home to win by a neck .
buick said :
she travels very well and in the yorkshire cup i might have got there too soon .
charlie just said ride a race and let it unfold , but it got a bit congested . she got herself organised and went through the ground really well .
on her day she ' s pretty good , there ' s very few in training that deserve to win a group one more than her .
appleby now has his sights set on landing a group one prize with the winner having secured this group three assignment .
he said :
i ' ve got to give credit to william , but she ' s a great mare and 100 per cent genuine .
i knew she ' d get the trip and love the ground . i have to say , though , i was stood with mark mcstay , whose family bred her , and i thought we might be in trouble on the rail but william got her out in time .
she deserves a win like that as she ' s knocked on the door in a few group ones and i ' m delighted to have a winner here .
i ' d love to win a group one with her and we might go back for the prix vermeille ( second last year ) or the prix royal - oak , but it ' s not out of the question we could look at the irish st leger .
