Here are the pics of Howe Great at Churchill. Unfortunately, they're rather lackluster.

Thanks Mariasmon for sharing the pics of Howe Great.
They are gorgeous!
I would think that he was a bit unlucky in the American Turf on Friday.
Hope he will come back to winner's circle soon!

Beauty Parlour (Deep Impact - Bastet) win very easily the Prix de la Grotte (Gr3 - 1600m), her jockey Christophe Soumillon said she have speed, she is a champion and named Zarkava and Divine Proportions in the same sentence =D. She remains unbeaten in 3 races. Well, I have my favorite for the Poule d'Essai des pouliches (French 1000 guineas) !

Her full brother Barocci won a listed race last year but wasn't as good (4° in the equivalent of the Prix de la Grotte for males, the Prix de Fontainebleau, and then 6° of the Poule d'Essai des poulains). He finished 2011 being 2° in a Gr3 (behind Casamento, Gr1 winner).

Barocci is going to be the first Deep Impact son to race in the states.

I think perhaps he prefers his ground firmer than what he got at Churchill. There are plenty of options for him. The 3YO turf series at Arlington and Colonial, or he could wait for Saratoga. Given that the Secretariat at Arlington is the first G1 for 3YOs on grass, I wouldn't be surprised if he ultimately runs there.

His sire Hat Trick preferred to run on the firm turf.
Hat Trick was 0 for 3 on the wet while he was racing.

uma-furusato.com posted a new report on Roses in May(USA) yesterday!!!
(click on photos below to see larger photos)









Satoshi Ebina (manager of Big Red Farm) said, ''His 3yo colt Cosmo Ozora's success was a major boost to Roses in May. He already covered 80 mares so far this year, and is expected to cover as much as 150 mares in total by the end of this season. He has the dignity of a big shot at 12. He is very sound and congenial.''

In Australia, Keep the Faith(AUS)[2000 H. Sunday Silence(USA) x Duelling Girl(USA)] sired his first grade stakes winner, when Dinkum Diamond(AUS)[2009f. out of Raja Lane(AUS)] won the G3 Jansz National Stakes 1200m turf at Morphetville today!!

Keep the Faith(AUS), the North American record setter for 6F turf at Belmont Park in 2005, is now standing at Greta West Stud in Australia.

Saint Baudolino (Pivotal - Allessandria, by Sunday Silence) won the Prix de Guiche (Gr3 - 1800m) last Friday. There were only 6 runners but the way was cluttered… His jockey Maxime Guyon forced the way to go between Sofast (O. Peslier, 2°) and Xanadou (C. Soumillon 4°), while Mandour (son of Mandesha, CP Lemaire, 3°) was on the rails.



Dangerous but efficient… Saint Baudolino will run the Jockey Club now.

Thanks!
I didn't know about Saint Baudolino.
Good news continue for Sunday Silence!!
I hope that Dabirsim and Beauty Parlour will do well tonight (May 13th). (Barocci will make his US debut at Belmont Park 7th race allowance, too.)

My hope is that she will be an international star.
And I have a gut feeling that she will be a BC starter this year.

from At The Race:

Soumillon gives up Dabirsim ride

Christophe Soumillon has ended his association with Dabirsim following the colt's defeat in the French 2000 Guineas at Longchamp on Sunday.
The Belgian jockey told Paris-Turf that he lacked "chemistry" with the Christophe Ferland-trained three-year-old, who won two Group Ones for Frankie Dettori in an unbeaten juvenile campaign.
Soumillon has twice been out of luck aboard Dabirsim, who finished sixth in the French Classic at the weekend after he encountered desperate trouble in running.
Soumillon said: "I called the owner Simon Springer on Tuesday morning and I explained to him that I would prefer not to ride Dabirsim any more. I have gone over my two rides on him and I don't think I've made any big mistakes but you have to look at the facts. For some reason which I can't explain, I don't seem to get on with the colt.
"I'm not superstitious but the results speak for themselves - the chemistry isn't there between us. Regarding the horse and his connections, I think it's best for me to step aside and hope that the next jockey can help him rediscover his sparkle. I was very frustrated with how things turned out on Sunday and it's best not to continue."
Ferland is in no rush to make any firm decisions about who will ride Dabirsim on his next racecourse appearance.
He said: "There are plenty of able riders and the horse is not going to be running very soon, so we have some time to make a decision."
The French trainer admits his charge is not 100% after his luckless weekend run, and is keen to give him time before deciding on his next target - which could still be the July Cup at Newmarket.
He added: "The horse is just all right after his run on Sunday. He is not perfect after getting stopped in his run, but he will be OK. We will see how the horse is before we make any plans for him.
"There are plenty of options for him - there is the July Cup, the Prix Jean Prat and the Prix Maurice de Gheest. We will see first how the horse recovers. At the moment his best trip is seven furlongs and he can run over six furlongs, too, but I think he will stay a mile when he gets stronger. Next time he runs, we want him to have a nice run without having to break his action."

Does anyone have any thoughts on who will ride Dabirsim in his next time out?

Thanks serenassong for sharing this.

No problem, I love this horse, and I'm so excited that we have a Deep Impact here. I added that one to my virtual stable real fast.
