Didn't know where else to put these without starting a thread for unraced 3yo - Unexposed, certainly as they are yet to run and on breeding definitely ones to watch.
PRINCE TOPS UNRACED BLUEBLOODS
By Alan Mosley
You may not have heard of the names yet, but if their breeding is anything to go by that might not be the case for long. Listed below is a collection of ten beautifully bred, English-trained three-year-olds all yet to embark on a racing career.
Not all will make their mark, racing is of course littered with blue-blooded failures, but for the time being their records are unblemished and we can look forward with the start of the 2011 Flat Season to see whether they will run up to their pedigrees and be able to mix it with the elite of the Classic generation. Who knows maybe one could emulate 2007 St Leger winner Lucarno, the last horse to triumph in an English Classic having been unraced as a juvenile.
Voodoo Prince (GB) (bay colt Kingmambo (USA) - Ouija Board (GB) (Cape Cross (IRE)) - no unraced three-year-old's debut is more eagerly anticipated than that of the first foal of the great Ouija Board. His sire being Kingmambo, a son of Miesque, he has not one but two of the best fillies to have set foot on a racetrack in his pedigree. His trainer has reported this Investec Derby entry to have done particularly well over the winter; (Ed Dunlop).
Nahrain (GB) (chestnut filly Selkirk (USA) - Bahr (GB) (Generous (IRE)) - a 1000 Guineas entry, this filly could be one of the stars of the group of horses Roger Varian has inherited from former master of Kremlin House, Michael Jarvis. Owned by Godolphin, Bahr finished in the frame in both English and Irish Oaks either side of winning the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot and has already produced Listed winner Baharah since retiring to stud; (Roger Varian).
All Time (GB) (brown filly Dansili (GB)-Clepsydra (GB) (Sadler's Wells (USA)) - of the sizeable Juddmonte broodmare band, Clepsydra is proving to be one of the elite. This filly, her seventh foal, is a sister to Group winners Passage of Time and Father Time and half-sister to last year's Listed winner, Timepiece. This is also the family of chief flag bearer amongst the operation's older brigade, Twice Over. She holds entries in the 1000 Guineas and both English and Irish Oaks; (Henry Cecil).
Enjoy Today (USA) - (chestnut colt Kingmambo (USA) - Queen's Logic (IRE) (Grand Lodge (USA)) - out of Europe's champion juvenile filly of 2001 and the unbeaten winner of four Group races including the Group One Cheveley Park Stakes, his trainer has already enjoyed great success with this colt's half-sister, Lady Of The Desert. Queen's Logic is also a half-sister to champion racehorse and first season sire, Dylan Thomas; (Brian Meehan).
Haymana (IRE) - (bay filly Pivotal (GB)-Briolette (IRE) (Sadler's Wells (USA))- Briolette is an Irish Listed winner, not only by Sadler's Wells but a half-sister to six-time Group One winner Pilsudski and Fine Motion, the champion three-year-old filly of her generation in Japan; (Sir Michael Stoute).
Pure Science (IRE)- (chestnut colt Galileo (IRE)- Rebelline (IRE) (Robellino (USA)) - by a champion racehorse and sire, out of a champion older Irish mare who won the Group One Tattersalls Gold Cup as a four-year-old. This colt is a half-brother to Recharge, second to Fame And Glory in last year's renewal of the same race and also a winner of a Group Three; (Barry Hills).
Trade Commissioner (IRE)- (bay colt Montjeu (IRE)-Spinning Queen (GB) (Spinning World (USA)) - she may have been flattered to win the Group One Sun Chariot Stakes from a field of underperforming rivals but it can't be denied that Spinning Queen was a high class filly on the track, also collecting a Group Three and finishing sixth in the 1000 Guineas. Subsequently sold for three million guineas and retired to stud, this Investec Derby entry is her first foal; (John Gosden).
World Domination (USA)- (bay colt Empire Maker (USA)-Reams of Verse (USA) (Nureyev (USA)) - Juddmonte had limited success with their Belmont Stakes winner Empire Maker and sold him to Japan last year. Could his son out of Oaks heroine Reams of Verse make them regret that decision? He is undoubtedly held in some regard at Warren Place, holding entries in both English and Irish Derbies. Reams of Verse's best produce to date is the Listed winner Many Volumes, whilst her daughter, the Group Three-placed Ithaca is the dam of Zacinto, winner of the Group Two Celebration Mile at Goodwood; (Henry Cecil).
Buttonhole (GB) - (bay filly Montjeu (IRE)-Red Camellia (GB) (Polar Falcon (USA))- Red Camellia ranked the joint top rated filly of her generation in England as a juvenile (alongside the aforementioned Reams of Verse) and only narrowly failed to land a Classic at three years, beaten less than a length in the French 1000 Guineas. Though she failed to land a Group One herself, she has produced a daughter that has won at the top level in the form of Fillies' Mile winner Red Bloom, together with a Listed winner Red Gala; (Sir Michael Stoute).
Eagles Peak (GB) - (bay colt Galileo (IRE)-High Praise (USA) (Quest For Fame) - another Juddmonte-bred Investec Derby entry, this colt is out of a winner of the Group Two Prix de Malleret, herself by a Derby winner earning himself a reputation as an influential broodmare sire. High Praise has already produced a stakes performer in Sight Unseen and is a half-sister to Juddmonte's Group One winning sire, Observatory; (Sir Michael Stoute).
