Bolstered by a confidence-boosting score at Newmarket earlier this month, Abdulrazaq Mohamdi's homebred G2 German 2000 Guineas runner-up Shayem (King Of Change) upset the odds-on favourite Talk Of New York (Wootton Bassett) and lowered the track record with a defiant display in Friday's G3 HKJC World Pool Thoroughbred Stakes at Goodwood.The Listed Sir Henry Cecil Stakes victor was detached from the pack racing second behind the strong tempo set by clear leader Catullus (Invincible Spirit) through halfway in the one-mile test.Bustled along to reduce arrears with three furlongs remaining, the 17-2 chance kept on rolling under a drive to collar Catullus entering the final furlong and stayed on in resolute fashion to hold the late charge of Talk Of New York by a half-length.Catullus continued to find once headed and fended off Saber Strike (Night Of Thunder) by a neck for third, 2 1/2 lengths adrift of the runner-up. Pedigree NotesShayem is the fourth of six foals and leading performer from two winners thrown by an unraced half-sister to the dual Group 3-placed Delicatezza (Danehill Dancer), herself the dam of G2 Oaks d'Italia third Made In Italy (Mukhadram).Descendants of his G3 Premio Paolo Mezzanotte-winning second dam Wickwing (In The Wings) also include Listed Premio Mario Incisa Della Rocchetta victrix Wintry Flower (Gleneagles).The winner is full to a yearling colt and kin to the unraced two-year-old colt Mugheer (Soldier's Call). The hail from the family of dual Group 1-winning sire Roderic O'Connor (Galileo) and the multiple Group 1-placed Lake Forest (No Nay Never).
