HAVE A Good Day, in the colours of Theresa Marnane, won her third race of the year when landing the Group 3 Prix du Cabourg at Deauville. This was just the 10th success for first-season trainer Florian Guyader, and his first group success.

What may surprise some is to learn that it was also a first group or stakes winner for Whitsbury Manor Stud’s Adaay (Kodiac), a sire who has made quite an impression with his first two crops. Winner of a pair of Group 2 races at three, including the seven-furlong Hungerford Stakes at Newbury, he has sired more than 40 individual winners, and his first crop included a trio of stakes-placed runners.

Now he has broken through with a group winner in his second crop. Have A Good Day was bred by Michael Phelan of Pipe View Stud in Mullinavat, and she is the second winner from her Black Minnaloushe (Storm Cat) dam. The other is three-time winning filly Lady In Question (Elzaam).

Adaay, who raced in the colours of the late Sheikh Hamdan, has completed his fifth season at Whitsbury Manor Stud. His fee of £5,000 for the last three years is only slightly down on his first year price of £7,000. His yearlings have sold for up to £210,000.
