Rising Star Primetime Emmy Makes Stakes Breakthrough In Chantilly’s Prix Eclipse

Wait 5 sec.

Australian-bred TDN Rising Star Primetime Emmy (Extreme Choice) bounced back off a first defeat in Deauville's G3 Prix de Cabourg seven weeks ago to register a career best with a last-gasp victory in Saturday's G3 Prix Eclipse Tattersalls at Chantilly.Settled behind the leaders in fourth after an alert getaway, the 9-5 favourite came under pressure to go second approaching the final furlong and kept on in determined fashion to usurp the hitherto unbeaten Scythe (Victor Ludorum) by a short-head in a bobbing finish, with the duo 3 1/2 lengths clear of the remainder headed by Spanish raider Belisa Bay (Bayside Boy). Pedigree NotesPrimetime Emmy, who becomes the 17th Group winner for her sire, is the third stakes scorer out of Listed winner Princess Emmy (King's Chapel), who also produced G3 Chairman Stakes winner Thurlow (Sebring) and his Listed Anzac Day Stakes-winning full-brother Three Kings.Their second dam, Listed Canterbury Belle third Hoot N' Holler (Kashani), is the leading performer out of Snow White (Sun And Shine), herself the second dam of G3 Frank Packer Plate victrix Dream Machine (Nothin' Leica Dane).Princess Emmy, who hails from the immediate family of G1 Queensland Oaks heroine Travel Light (Bellissimo), has a yearling colt by Tiger Of Malay to come. Another Group Three success for @GraffardRacing!Primetime Emmy rattles home to deny Scythe in a thrilling finish to the Prix Eclipse at Chantilly… pic.twitter.com/nhtPRhPF4i— At The Races (@AtTheRaces) September 19, 2026  Saturday, Chantilly, FrancePRIX ECLIPSE – TATTERSALLS – FONDS EUROPEEN DE L'ELEVAGE-G3, €73,200, Chantilly, 9-19, 2yo, 6fT, 1:09.31, gd.1–PRIMETIME EMMY (AUS), 122, f, 2, by Extreme Choice (Aus)                1st Dam: Princess Emmy (NZ) (SW-NZ), by King's Chapel (Aus)                2nd Dam: Hoot N' Holler (NZ), by Kashani                3rd Dam: Snow White (NZ), by Sun And Shine (GB)TDN Rising Star. 1ST BLACK-TYPE WIN; 1ST GROUP WIN.
