TAYLOR MADE'S FOALINGSEASON STARTS WITH
FLIGHTLINE'S FIRST FOAL

Click here for our visit with the Flightline filly out of Juju's Map
Sara Gordonby Katie Petrunyak
Foaling season is off to a flying start at Taylor Made Farm as
they're already up to nearly a dozen foals on the ground.
Everything has gone smoothly so far, but a real showstopper
came early when they welcomed the first foal by Horse of theYear Flightline. A star-faced bay filly with a bit of chrome on herhind legs, the new arrival is also the first foal out of Grade I
winner Juju's Map (Liam's Map).
AIt's really a blessing to have such a well-bred horse here,@ said
Frank Taylor. AShe's got a great attitude and she is strong andhealthy. Everything is going great so far. The mare is by Liam's
Map, who is a half-brother to Not This Time.@

'RISING STAR' NASH FACES TRACK

HEADLINING SATURDAY GRADED RACES
by J.N. Campbell
Like one of those old split-flap mechanical signs at train
stations, everyone knows that in the new year the 'Run for theRoses' leaderboard will fluctuate. Week-to-week, the top points
begin to compound--from 20 to the winner Saturday and goingas high as 100 to the winner come April.
The trail to Derby 150 begins a much steeper ascent on
Saturday at Fair Grounds in New Orleans as the GIII Lecomte S.

This year's edition pits a field of eight against one another withthe central question being: what happened to Nash (Medaglia
d'Oro) in the December running of the Gun Runner S.?
The heavy favorite was unable to build on his Nov. 12 'TDN
Rising Star' performance under the Twin Spires at second asking
when he powered to the lead, torched a field of maidens by 10
1/4 lengths and posted a 97 Beyer for trainer Brad Cox.
The race shape in the Gun Runner was nothing of the sort for
the Godolphin homebred, as he was forced to watch Track
Phantom (Quality Road) take control toward the end of thebackstretch and never relinquish the lead.

C2 RACING STABLE SELLS AN INTEREST IN
WHITE ABARRIO TO HRH PRINCE FAISAL OFSAUDI ARABIA by Bill FinleyWhite Abarrio | Sarah Andrew

Brothers Mark and Clint Cornett, who race under the name ofC2 Racing Stable, have taken on HRH Prince Faisal Bin Khaled Bin
Abdul Aziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia as a partner in the GI
Breeders= Cup Classic winner White Abarrio (Race Day). The 5year-old will make his next in the Feb. 24 running of the G1
Saudi Cup. Mark Cornett said that C2 remains the majority
owner, but declined to say how big of a percentage was sold.
The story was first reported by the Daily Racing Form=s Mike
Welsch.
Prince Faisal is the owner who lured trainer Jimmy Jerkens to
Saudi Arabia to train a string of his horses.
AWinning the Saudi Cup is very important to them,@ Mark
Cornett said. AIt=s in his backyard and he=ll be representing his
country in an international race. You=re going to have four orfive Japanese horses, horses from all over the world. It=s very
important to them that they represent the Saudi people.@
Cornett said the deal has been in the works for about fourweeks.
AWe=ve been working on this for about a month,@ he said.
AThey=ve flown over a couple of times to watch the horsebreeze. Their vet has come over twice from France to do his due
diligence. They ended up pulling the trigger on it and we
consummated the deal this week. They=re going to be great
partners for us and we will be great partners to them. We lookforward to doing additional things with them in the future.@

SATURDAY • JANUARY 20, 2024

White Abarrio has remained at Santa Anita since winning theBreeders= Cup Classic there. Cornett said the gray will board aplane from LAX to Miami Feb. 13. From there, he will be joinedby South Florida-based horses who will also be running on the
Saudi Cup card before heading straight to Riyadh.
Though the owners have not committed to any races beyond
the Saudi Cup, Cornett said the G1 Dubai World Cup Mar. 30 isdefinitely a possibility.
AThe Dubai World Cup is definitely on our list of races,@ hesaid. AHe=ll have to run the right way in the Saudi Cup and comeout the race the right way. All the stars are going to have to line
up. If that happens, we=ll go in the Dubai World Cup. If not, we=ll
bring him back to New York and take a look at the Met Mile.@
White Abarrio worked four furlongs (:47.60, 6/73) on Friday
morning at Santa Anita.
AThe horse is doing better than he=s ever done,@ Cornett said.
AI talked to [trainer] Rick [Dutrow] this morning. He breezed ahalf in :47 3/5 as good as he ever has and came out of the work
great. The horse is definitely on his game.@

ON PAPER, ON COURSE,ONESTO HAD PLENTY
IN HIS FAVOUR

Onesto, pictured winning the Grand Prix de Paris, is the latest recruitfor Haras d=Etreham. Katie Petrunyak and Emma Berry find out more.
Scoop Dyga

By Emma Berry
Blood will out, so they say, and in the case of Onesto (Ire) thisis certainly true. The most cursory glance at his pedigree gives
you two of the most talked about and revered racehorses of themodern era--his sire Frankel (GB) and broodmare sire Sea The
Stars (Ire). But it pretty much goes without saying when it comesto Frankel's offspring that there's an awful lot more going on as
you take a closer look at his page.
Bred by American-based Adam Bowden of Diamond Creek
Farm, Onesto could just as easily have appeared in the
Juddmonte studbook. Cont. p3

PLENTY OF DIVERSITY IN ARQANAFEBRUARY CATALOGUE

filling the runner-up spot in a listed race at Saint-Cloud inNovember and out of a half-sister to the G3 Prix la Force winnerChilean (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}); and Vasda (Ire) (Shalaa {Ire}) (lot 10),
listed-placed at Milan in September and a half-sister to four
black-type winners, including G3 Prix d'Aumale winner Rocques(Fr) (Lawman {Fr}) and listed winner Mea Domina (Fr) (Pivotal{GB}).
The Wertheimer et Frere homebred Adeliade (Ire) (Australia{GB}) (lot 79), a winner at two and out of a half-sister to themultiple Group 1 winner Solow (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}), is anothername to note among the fillies-in-training. Cont. p7

Haras d'Etreham's long history of standing stallions includes
the recent extraordinary turnaround of Wootton Bassett (GB),from a one-time i4,000 sire to his eventual sale to Coolmore
and his current place as the joint-second-most expensive stallion
in Europe. It would be no easy feat to emulate that story but deChambure feels confident that Onesto has enough qualities to atleast pique breeders' interest at this crucial early stage.
"When you talk to breeders, you feel that the last few years,
some good horses have done it coming from lighter pedigrees
and it was more the racing and the [horse's] sire that were
important," he says. "Then a horse like Onesto retires, comingfrom one of the best Juddmonte families. And suddenly,
breeders come to us and say they're so excited about this horse
because he's so well bred. So it is very important to breeders,and it gives him credit. It gives him, I think, more chance thanjust another horse."
Onesto's next test comes when the doors of the Haras

SILVER LADY THE LATEST STAKES WINNERFOR SEA THE STARS IN CAPE VERDI
by Heather Anderson
It was a stirring game of jockeyship, as Mickael Barzalona andSilver Lady (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}--Lumiere {GB}, by
Shamardal) fended off the finishing rush of William Buick andEnglish Rose (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) to win by a measured neck in
the AED850,000 G2 Cape Verdi Presented by DP World CGG at
Meydan on Friday. The Godolphin runners are both trained by
Charlie Appleby. The duo had closed on stablemate Shining
Jewel (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}) who had set the pace for much of therace until midstretch.
Just off the leaders and tossing her head leaving the stalls, thebay eventually relaxed as Shining Jewel showed the way. Wellcovered up heading into the turn, positions were largely
unchanged on the bend, and Barzalona cued his charge justbefore the quarter-pole. She promptly collared Shining Jewel totake the advantage. Meanwhile, the formerly undefeated
English Rose was winding up with her run to the subsequent
winner=s outside, and gave every appearance of edging past, but
her greenness told late, as Silver Lady proved game to the line.
AShe=s got a mind of her own, a bit of temperament,@ said
Barzalona of Silver Lady. AI took her down steady and she settled
well during the race--it was rough the first part--but then she
took a big breath and picked up well.@A winner of a Newmarket maiden when unveiled last April,
Silver Lady was promptly third in the Listed Michael Seely
Memorial Fillies= S. in May. Given some time off, she returned totake sixth in another listed race at HQ in September and failed
to menace when unplaced in the G3 Pride S. there in October,her final appearance prior to Friday=s triumph.

Pedigree Notes
The 4-year-old is the 116th stakes winner and 70th Pattern
winner for her sire, who stands at Gilltown Stud in Ireland underthe banner of The Aga Khan Studs. The much-missed Shamardal
now has 102 stakes winners and 52 group winners as abroodmare sire. The cross is also responsible for three otherstakes winners led by four-time Group 3 winner Al Aasy (Ire).
Lumiere (GB) claimed the G1 Cheveley Park S. and was also

HONOURS by Heather Anderson
Already a 2 1/2-length winner in her unveiling over thisMeydan strip going 1400 metres on Dec. 22, Manama Gold (StarGuitar--Charged Cotton, by Dehere) doubled her tally with animperious 9 1/4-length victory in the Cocoa Beach S. Presented

By Jebel Ali Port over a mile there on Friday and became thelatest >TDN Rising Star=.
The Victorious runner, trained by Fawzi Nass, raced in
between rivals on the front end from the chute and dropped
back for a breather rounding the bend as fellow front-runner
Lahfaty (Mitole) asserted while pressed by Frost At Dawn
(Frosted). Adrie de Vries urged his mount to quicken at the headof the straight and she duly obliged with a strong turn of foot, as
they shifted out into the centre of the track to challenge in thelane. The chestnut forged past the leading duo and strode clear
to win with authority. Three-and-a-half lengths separated thesecond, Lahfaty, and third, Kibo Misaki (Girvin).
AI got a little bit of pressure on the turn; it got a little bit tight,@
said de Vries. ABut once Jim=s horse [Crowley, Frost At Dawn]
came past me then it was just a matter of straightening up andshe did the job pretty easy.
AI didn=t want to be too hard on her, but I wanted to teach hersomething. Once she hits the front she doesn=t do much--she=s
just having a look around. I guess that=s a good thing.@
Part of the Taylor Made consignment at the 2022 Keeneland
September Sale, the chestnut caught the eye of Lane
Richardson, who shelled out $100,000 on behalf of Kevin
Knuckley. Cont. p14

away from all comers with a brilliant finishing kick in the stretch
to win by four lengths from Nibras Passion (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}). AI
suppose the draw [1] was a little bit kinder this time and he got
a better run through,@ said William Buick. AIf you go throughsome of his form, especially as a 2-year-old, it=s very good.
We=ve been waiting for a while for that from him, but heshowed his class tonight.@ He is a full-brother to dual Grade I
winner Althiqa (GB) (Dark Angel {Ire}), who also won the G2
Cape Verdi, as well as a half-brother to stakes winner and G2

the Summer S. in Canada in the autumn of 2022, was gelded
after running seventh in the G3 Craven S. last April. Three more
off-the-board finishes resulted for the bay, including a fifthplace run in the Listed Business Bay Challenge over this turf
course near the end of December last out. However, he was adifferent animal returned to handicap company on Friday. In thesecond flight, the blaze-faced Mysterious Night perched in a
midpack fifth and changed gears with aplomb off the bend. In a
perfect rhythm throughout, the gelding sprouted wings to glide

AL ARBED (IRE) (g, 4, Dark Angel {Ire}--Apphia {Ire}, by High

his debut in December of 2022 at Abu Dhabi. He last ran fourth
over this distance making his fifth start on the Meydan main
track on Jan. 5. Part of the larger group of horses against the far
rail in this straight-track test, the grey gradually ground into
contention 400 metres from the wire. He was within striking
distance of Chandigah (Ire) (Churchill {Ire}) at the furlong
grounds and pounced 100 metres later to win going away by
three-quarters of a length over that foe. The second foal, runnerand first winner for his dam, who won the G3 Princess Royal
Nayef S., Al Arbed has a 3-year-old half-sister by Kingman (GB)named Heaven Blessed (Ire) who has yet to start, a juvenile fullbrother to that filly, and a yearling half-sister by Night Of
