If Saturday had been all about the local heroes, by Sunday the major prizes were scattered more widely as first Jancis then True Love smuggled the silverware across the Irish Sea. For the combined team of Ballydoyle and Coolmore, winning European Classics has become almost commonplace – a key part of the mechanism that keeps the wheels turning on the largest and most successful breeding operation in the world. The 2,000 Guineas was just missed but the 1,000 Guineas was in the bag. The magnificent specimen that is True Love strolled around the pre-parade ring seemingly without a care in the world and barely raised an eyebrow throughout the preliminaries or in the joyful aftermath of an eighth 1,000 Guineas victory for her trainer Aidan O'Brien. The daughter of No Nay Never had been followed around the ring by her stablemate, the champion two-year-old filly Precise (Starspangledbanner), and she would have provided a good shield had any of the forecast rain arrived as Precise, as neat as her name suggests, was, like the rest of the field, simply dwarfed by True Love.A runner-up spot for the Forz Europe filly Evolutionist went some way towards providing consolation for her owner after the sad loss of Gewan just a few weeks ago, and she ensured that her sire Night Of Thunder had the second in the fillies' Classic after supplying both the winner and the third home in the 2,000 Guineas.But the star stallion of Sunday was No Nay Never, whose ten Group 1 winners now, crucially, include a Classic winner. He is of course the sire of the brilliant Alcohol Free, who got the mile well to win the Sussex Stakes and the Coronation Stakes after being fifth in the Guineas. Newmarket's straight mile has a way of finding them out, as O'Brien acknowledged.“Newmarket is the only track in the world where there's nowhere to hide,” he said. “You get a mile up here, and you have to really get it.”In assessing True Love's second win at the highest level, which came over two furlongs farther than her Cheveley Park Stakes success, MV Magnier added, “She was good in [her trial at] Leopardstown that day and we were wondering whether she would stay or not.”It is unlikely that True Love wants to go much beyond a mile but her dam Alluringly, though by Australian sprinter Fastnet Rock, was among his raft of European-bred offspring which went much further than had initially been expected. Unfortunately for Alluringly, she was born in the same generation as Enable and chased that great filly home in the Cheshire Oaks as well as finishing third to her in the Oaks at Epsom. Cousino's Patience Handsomely RewardedIn a season in which we are blessed to have so many older horses in training, Jancis (Tamayuz) became the latest five-year-old to land a major victory in the G2 Dahlia Stakes. A second Group win for Arturo Cousino's homebred fully justified both keeping her in training with Willie McCreery and bringing her over from the Curragh to find her favoured fast ground. “She was running good races last year and just getting chinned here and there,” said McCreery. “The owner's been very confident and very patient with her. She's a beautiful moving filly and it's great for him.” Jancis with Sean Levey, Megan Telford Kelly, Nancy Sexton, Lady Cecil and Willie McCreery | Emma Berry Cousino's long-running love of this particular female family, which includes Jancis's fourth dam, the Chilean champion Crystalline, has already been documented in this pages. Though he was unable to travel from Chile to see Jancis in action at Newmarket, his representative Nancy Sexton said that Cousino is already planning a trip to Royal Ascot.Adding that he was “over the moon”, Sexton said, “He's got several strands of this family in Chile, and it's a very good family, really strong going back. It's like the Urban Sea of Chile and he's tried to build this back up.“He bought Blameless from Godolphin, and that's the second dam. She died young, unfortunately, but she left Blame The Ruler (Ruler Of The World), who was a rather odd-looking animal but had quite a lot of ability. She only ran twice, and this is her only foal because she died about a week after foaling Jancis.”Jancis was reared and pre-trained at Ballylinch Stud, where she continues to spend her winter holidays. Sexton added “She's got a huge following in Chile. Arturo's been so patient, because they're a funny family. They're all claustrophobic and by going to Willie, she can go out in the paddock. She has her friends – she has a Shetland pony mate.“Arturo has given her so much time and that's what it's all about, really. It has paid off.”Another of the day's winners with an Irish link was Jennifer Jane, who made all to win the Listed Pretty Polly Stakes, continuing a good run at Newmarket over the last three days for Charlie Johnston's stable. The daughter of New Bay was bred by Mick Flanagan under his Rathbran House Stud banner, and he was delighted, after retaining a leg in the filly with owners Russell and Jane Trew, that she was sent into training with his old friend.“I actually hadn't seen the filly since we sold her as a yearling,” Flanagan said. “She was a gorgeous looking yearling and we took her to Fairyhouse. Charlie is an old mate – we were together years ago in South Africa when I was an assistant to Mike de Kock and he was with John McVeigh, so we kept the relationship up.“[The Johnstons] actually trained the mother Enlace. She was rated about 96 and we still have her at home. She's in foal St. Mark's Basilica, a sire who looks on the absolute massive up.”Johnston added of Jennifer Jane, “She hadn't wintered great and was quite light through the spring so frustratingly I haven't been too ambitious with the entries, but that might have to change now.“She's not in the Oaks but this trip [ten furlongs] feels right and she has a nice blend of speed and stamina.” The post Big and Beautiful, True Love Prevails appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
