49 SW for Kingman and weekend Group double

Placed in the Group II Peter Young Stakes and Group III Hotham Hcp, the Michael Moroney import EMISSARY (GB) broke thorough at his seventh start in his adopted homeland in Saturday’s Listed Tile Importer Heatherlie Stakes (1700m) at Caulfield.

Ridden by Jye McNeil, Emissary (GB) defeated the Sydney Cup runner-up Sheraz by a half-length with the same distance back to Jimmy The Bear in third.

The 6yo Juddmonte-bred son of Kingman won two of his five starts in Britain for Hugo Palmer. Mike Moroney nominated the Naturalism Stakes as a possible next start.

“I think you’ll see him at his best this season now. He’s a really nice horse, and he’s going to be a lightweight chance in some of these Cups I would think. He’s by Kingman, who’s a great sire, and I think he’s a half to a two-mile winner, so it’s a really good cross.”

McNeil said the son of Kingman works like a good horse. “It was a great first-up performance. I trialled him last week and he went fantastic at Flemington, so I knew he’d run really well today,” McNeil said. “I just needed an ounce of luck from the awkward barrier draw. I got that, had the right run in transit and he was fantastic.

“In the trial he just gave me such a good feel and he did it all on his own merit, and today he just backed it up with a fantastic performance.”

 

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS - At Saratoga USA race-course Technical Analysis by Kingman controlled the pace and had more to give when called upon Aug. 27 in the $388,000 Ballston Spa Stakes (G2). 

The 4-year-old Kingman filly held off the late run of fellow Chad Brown trainee Fluffy Socks to secure the second grade 2 of her career and her fourth graded score for Seth Klarman's Klaravich Stables. 

 

TEMPUS - At Deauville race-course on Sunday in France Archie Watson’s Tempus by Kingman brought up a hat-trick to lead home a British-trained one-two in the Barriere Prix Quincey (G3).

Sent off favourite for the one-mile Group Three, the six-year-old continued his fine recent form in style. Holloe Doyle shadowed the French-trained leaders In Crowd and Longvillers for the first half of the race, but was always travelling comfortably aboard the gelded son of Kingman.

The duo put the race to bed in a matter of strides once Tempus saw some daylight, galloping clear to score by almost two lengths.
