Audarya: Gave James Fanshawe and owner Alison Swinburn a racing moment to remember when she added the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf in record time to an earlier win this season in the Group 1 Prix Jean Romanet. Hopefully the four-year-old may remain in training next year and, along with Almanzor and the recently retired Wooded, she is a fine endorsement of Coolmore’s decision to acquire their sire Wootton Bassett.

The possibility that there could be further improvement in Audarya is backed by the fact that the other two Group 1 winners in the family, Jim And Tonic (Double Bed) and Mauralakana (Muhtathir), gained their biggest wins at the age of five.

Essential Quality: Stretched his unbeaten run to three in the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, adding to an earlier triumph in the Grade 1 Breeders’ Futurity. Should his career trajectory keep going this way he is assured of a place at stud, being a son of multiple champion sire Tapit, and boosting a close relationship to one of the world’s best racehorses at present.

Essential Quality is out of the stakes-placed Delightful Quality (Elusive Quality) and she is a half-sister to the champion and Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies winner Folklore (Tiznow). That dual Grade 1 winner is grandam of the unbeaten Japanese champion and 2020 Triple Crown winner Contrail (Deep Impact).

Fire At Will: Captured the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf and has now won three of his four starts at two, all at stakes level. He is yet another top-level winner for his sire Declaration Of War (War Front) who started his stud career at Coolmore in Ireland. The Juddmonte International winner is also sire of the Melbourne Cup winner Vow And Declare.

This is not the first success in the family for Declaration Of War. Fire At Will is the first runner for his Kitten’s Joy (El Prado) dam Flirt and her two stakes-winning siblings include Decorated Invader (Declaration Of War) whose five wins in nine starts to date include last year’s Grade 1 Summer Stakes for juveniles at Woodbine.

Gamine: Was unraced at two but she became a racing millionaire when landing the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint in a new track record, her third Grade 1 win of the year in just six outings. Only once off the board, she is a four-time winner and was placed in the Grade 1 Kentucky Oaks. She was yet another win at the meeting for leading sire Into Mischief.

She is by some way the best runner on her family to date. Her dam Peggy Jane (Kafwain) was stakes-placed and her third dam Grand Splash (Bucksplasher) was a multiple stakes winner at Calder over 30 years ago. Grand Splash is grandam of the Canadian champion grass horse Dynamic Sky (Sky Mesa).

Glass Slippers: Has now added the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint to Group 1 victories in the Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp and this year’s Derrinstown Stud Flying Five Stakes. The seven-time winner is one of four at Group 1 level for her July Cup winning sire Dream Ahead (Diktat) who started his stud career at Ballylinch Stud but now stands in France. He is also sire of Al Wukair, Donjuan Triumphant and this year’s Haydock Sprint Cup winner Dream Of Dreams.

One of seven winners for her dam, Glass Slippers is the best runner from two-year-old winner Night Gypsy (Mind Games) and that group also included the stakes-winning juvenile Electric Feel (Firebreak) and the listed-placed Aunt Nicola (Reel Buddy).

Knicks Go: Put a winless sophomore season behind him and won the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile, his third win in an unbeaten season in 2020 and in a record time. A Grade 1 winner at two he was runner-up that year in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, He is the first Grade 1 winner for his WinStar sire Paynter (Awesome Again) whose sole stakes win came in the Grade 1 Haskell Stakes.

Knicks Go’s dam Kosmo’s Buddy was a stakes-winning sprinter by Outflanker (Danzig) and he is the best of her three winners. You need to go back to the fourth generation to find the only other Grade 1 winner on the page, the Matriarch Stakes heroine Countus In (Dancing Count).

Monomoy Girl: Bred by the Irish-born trio of Olive (Taaffe) and Brendan Gallagher and Michael Hernon, and she won her second Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Distaff after more than a year off the track between these victories. Winner of 13 out of 15 starts, the seven-time Grade 1 winner and champion filly at three was sold on Sunday for a record $9.5 million, just over double her career winnings.

A half-sister to Grade 2 winner Mr Monomoy (Palace Malice), Monomoy Girl is one of six winners from the winning Henny Hughes (Hennessy) mare Drumette whose siblings include Grade 3 winner and sire Drum Major (Dynaformer). Monomoy Girl’s sire Tapizar (Tapit) won the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile.

Vequist: Gained her first win in the Grade 1 Spinaway Stakes and her second came in the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies. In four starts she has also been runner-up in the Grade 1 Frizette Stakes. Her success owes much to her Kentucky Derby winning sire Nyquist (Uncle Mo). The Darley stallion’s first crop has two stakes winners and the other, Gretzky The Great, is also a Grade 1 winner.

On her dam side of the family, you have to go back to her fifth dam to find the next stakes winner, the Group 3 Tattersalls Musidora Stakes victress Cassis. In fact, the only other stakes performer of any kind in the first four generations on the female side of the pedigree is Vequist’s dam Vero Amore. That daughter of Mineshaft (A.P.Indy) won twice at two and was runner-up in the Grade 2 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes.

Whitmore: A seven-year-old gelded son of the Dubai World Cup winner Pleasantly Perfect (Pleasant Colony) who died earlier this year in Turkey at the age of 22. The stallion had two Grade 1 winners, the other, Shared Account, also being a Breeders’ Cup winner. Whitmore’s success in the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Sprint was his 15th career win, and two years ago he landed the Grade 1 Forego Stakes. He has also been second and third in the race he won at the weekend. Whitmore is the only winner out of the unraced Scat Daddy (Johannesburg) mare Melody’s Spirit. Though mares in the family visited some of the best stallions in the USA, Whitmore is the first stakes winner and only the second stakes performer in four generations of his female line.
