37 and 38 SW for Kingman

38 for Kingman 1 August - Oriental Mystique (4 f ex Madame Chiang by Archipenko) got up in the dying strides to take the Prix Luth Enchantee (Listed, 2400m) at Clairefontaine yesterday for trainer David Simcock. The win marked the 38th individual stakes winner for her sire Kingman. She was bred and is owned by Miss Kirsten Rausing and ridden to victory by jockey Mickael Barzalona. Kingman stood at Banstead Manor Stud in 2021 for a fee of £150,000 (approx. AU$284,000).

37 for Kingman 31 July -Kingman (Invincible Spirit sired his 37th individual stakes winner when Save A Forest (3 f ex Bark by Galileo) took the Chalice Stakes (Listed, 1m 4f) at Newmarket yesterday. The Roger Varian-trained Save A Forest defeated Sayyida (Dubawi), who was previously undefeated in two starts this year, by half a length, and The Queen’s Portfolio (Deep Impact).

Kinross by Kingman wins Lennox thriller 28 July -A thrilling finish to the Lennox Stakes (Gr 2, 7f) at Goodwood yesterday saw Kinross (4 g ex Ceilidh House by Selkirk) surge late in the day to grab glory in what was a tight finish to a fiercely competitive race. Only a neck behind him was Creative Force (Dubawi) in second and there was a further head back to the third-placed Happy Power (Dark Angel). A hugely impressive debut scorer in 2019, it seems as though Kingman (Invincible Spirit) gelding Kinross is finally filling the potential he showed on that racecourse debut.

Hugh Bowman - Jockey

Says of Sweynesse :

"I was really pleased with First Seal but full credit to Sweynesse, I thought I had the race in my keeping. My filly wasn’t dying on her run but the colt picked me up and put me away."

Henry Plumptre - Managing Director of Darley Australia.

Says of Sweynesse :

"These three colts are the best colts this year and there is probably a half-length
between them. It is fantastic."

Hideaki Fujiwara - Champion Trainer Japan

Says of Staphanos :

“Staphanos had outstanding ability showing speed and stamina. He was mentally and physically tough. I expect his progeny to be the same!”

Michael Cox - Former South China Morning Post and now The Age racing writer saw Staphanos in the flesh on the track and in his impressive morning workouts

Says of Staphanos :

"Staphanos is a horse of substance, mixing toughness and a no-nonsense temperament in a career in which he raced and beat some of the best Japan had to offer. What a coup by Luigi Muollo and Novara Park to secure this stallion and what an incredible opportunity for New Zealand breeders to send mares to such a highly credentialed son of Deep Impact. He has the looks, pedigree and racetrack performances to be a hit at stud. He could be a real game changer and just the type of stallion New Zealand needs."
