TILSIT ON TOP AFTER THOROUGHBRED ENQUIRY
BATTAASH CRACKS TRACK Khalid Abdullah=s Tilsit (First Defence) followed up a June 4
RECORD WITH FOURTH debut second at Newcastle with a breakthrough score--by a
whopping 19 lengths--back there June 27 and survived a lengthy
KING GEORGE stewards= enquiry to be confirmed the winner of Friday=s
G3 Bonhams Thoroughbred S. at Goodwood. The 10-1 chance
was steadied to race in third behind a modest tempo set by
My Oberon (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) and remained there through
halfway in this turf bow. Quickening to launch his challenge at
the quarter-mile marker, he edged in front entering the final
eighth, but suddenly veered right to force that rival into the far-
side fence with 150 yards remaining before returning on an
even keel to hit the line with a 1 1/2-length advantage. My
Oberon somehow managed to remain upright for second place,
finishing 2 1/2 lengths ahead of 4-7 favourite Khaloosy (Ire)
(Dubawi {Ire}) in third. As expected, Ryan Moore was sanctioned
for the final-furlong incident which impeded My Oberon and
incurred a five-day suspension for careless riding in the debrief.

different track to Goodwood, and it was his first start on turf so

Grimthorpe continued, AI think he is still a bit goofy and
immature and I wasn=t at all optimistic we would keep the race.
He was the best horse, no doubt about that, but it always
worries me. Ryan [Moore] had his whip in his right hand, so that
was good, and he has just dived in. He was always going to win
so from that point of view the rules are spot on, but it is always
a nervous moment. This was Tilsit=s first race on turf and part of
the learning curve for him, but he is pretty progressive by the
looks of things. The Celebration Mile here could be a possibility
and it is always nice to have a few thoughts about where we go
and what to do. He looks on an upward curve and, trip-wise, I
think we will stay at a mile.@

SILVANO COLTS DOMINATE NATIONAL
OPENER
Bloodstock South Africa=s National Yearling Sale, delayed from
its original April calendar date, at last got off and running for its
two-day stand on Friday. Topping trade during the opening
session was Wilgerbosdrift Stud=s Silvano (Ger) colt out of local
wondermare Halfway To Heaven (SAf) (Jet Master {SAf}) (lot
185), whose first two foals are the triple Group 1 winner
Rainbow Bridge (SAf) (Ideal World) and champion 3-year-old
and five-time Group 1 winner Hawwaam (SAf) (Silvano {Ger}).
Hawwaam had been a R1-million yearling purchase by Shadwell
South Africa, but his full-brother far outpointed that pricetag
when bringing R7-million (,312,679/i347,508) on Friday from
Summerhill Equestrian.
In fact, it was sons of Silvano who dominated trade on the day,
in the end responsible for the top four prices. Jehan Malherbe of
Form Bloodstock signed for the session=s second and third
