From South Africa Racing...
No author listed. CAPTAIN'S LOVER AND LITTLE MISS MAGIC WILL RACE IN FRANCE Team Valor International has finalised plans for its two Grade 1-winning South African fillies Captain's Lover and Little Miss Magic. Both fillies will be trained to race in France this season. Little Miss Magic, best last year in the Grade 1 Empress Club Stakes at Turffontein, has been sent to Alain Royer-Dupre. The Chantilly-based trainer sent out South African-bred sprinter Tiza to win Group stakes in France in 2007. Captain's Lover currently is on the Isle of Mauritius and due to land in France on April 2, when she will join the Chantilly yard of leading French trainer Andre Fabre, with whom Team Valor currently has a juvenile colt bred in Kentucky. Of the acquisitions from the National Yearling Sale in South Africa, Team Valor International principal Barry Irwin said "We decided on France for a few reasons. Captain's Lover likes a cut in the ground and she figures to get that in France. She is versatile and the French program should suit her. And, of course, there is Andre Fabre. What can one say about him that has not already been said. I would expect her to be ready to race in the autumn. "Little Miss Magic should be most effective in sprints up to seven-eighths and there is a good program for her in France. Alain Royer-Dupre has already shown what he can do with a South African runner, so he will not have to try to reinvent the wheel." Irwin expects Little Miss Magic to be ready to race in late spring or early summer, as she has been legged up and acclimated in England by former South African trainer Neil Bruss at his new training center near Lambourn. Both fillies race for TVI and Anant and Vanashree Singh of Durban, South Africa. The fillies were part of the first of what have since become annual partnerships formed by TVI after they are acquired at public Auction in South Africa. Team Valor International races and maintains a select breeding operation in France, where it breeds to race and sell. It's most recent star to carry its colors in France was Sweet Stream, a Group 1 winner of the Prix Vermeille and Champion staying filly or mare in England, where last December she was sold at Tattersalls for the U. S. equivalent of more than $2.3 million.

Prince Sultan buys Argentinean star for 2009 DIRC 19 May 2008 Dubai Racing Club Perfectly will aim to follow in the footsteps of Asiatic Boy and Honour Devil at the 2009 Dubai International Racing Carnival. Argentine Group 1-placed winner Perfectly has been purchased on behalf of Saudi Arabian Prince Sultan bin Mohammed bin Saud al Kabeer to be aimed at major three-year-olds races in Dubai next year. The promising two-year-old bay colt was an impressive two-length winner of his debut under the world’s leading rider Jorge Ricardo, before finishing second by a half-length in the Gran Premio Raul y Raul E. Chevallier (Arg-G1) on turf at San Isidro on April 12. Perfectly raced for Stud Aladino and trainer Roberto Pellegata, who trained the subsequent UAE Derby winners Honour Devil and Asiatic Boy in Argentina. In other Dubai news Light Green, in action in her native Brazil, will now continue her career in France. Brazil’s star filly Light Green, who competed twice at this year’s Dubai International Racing Carnival including a fine fourth to Honour Devil in the UAE Derby, has joined Alain de Royer-Dupre’s stable in France. The three-year-old daughter of Blush Rambler will resume her racing career for owner Eduardo Rocha Azevedo’s Haras Santa Camila. 'Mick Kinane (who rode her in her two UAE starts) thought that she could be competitive in graded stakes events in Europe, especially with the newly upgraded European stakes program for fillies and mares,” said Eduardo Guimaraes, racing manager for owner Haras Santa Camila. She was a star in her native Brazil, and just a neck shy of sweeping the Sao Paulo Jockey Club's Triple Crown series for three-year-old fillies on the turf when placing second in the Group 1 Grande Premio Diana (Brazilian Oaks) on October 6. 'She came to Dubai and was a bit sick upon arrival with a cold and fever,' recalled Guimaraes. 'It took a while for her to improve and she was not seriously trained before the end of January. We were able to race her back in the Balanchine (her first UAE start) and she got her head in front with 150 meters to go and got tired, she then ran a great race against the colts in the UAE Derby.'

Royal Ascot winner Colony sold to race in Dubai David Milnes COLONY, who gave Ryan Moore his first ever success at Royal Ascot earlier this year, has been sold to Sheikh Mohammed and will probably be campaigned at the Dubai Carnival this winter. The three-year old provided the first leg of a memorable double for owners Highclere Thoroughbred Racing at the Royal fixture when beating Savarain in the King George V Stakes in June. The William Haggas- trained Collection, who has also since been sold to race abroad, then added to the syndicates gains when scoring in the Listed Hampton Court Stakes.

Soto... to Saudi Arabia...
http://sidfernando.wordpress.com/ Here’s some breaking news that can now be released, courtesy of his new owner: Kentucky stallion Soto (Dehere — Subtle Fragrance, by Crafty Prospector), the sire of two black-type winners from his first crop of 2-year-olds last season, has been sold and will stand at stud in Saudi Arabia. The Walmac-based stallion was purchased by Nofa Equestrian Resort for the account of owner Prince Sultan Al Kabeer, the leading owner in Saudi Arabia. Soto won 5 of 6 starts and earned $666,164 in two seasons. At 2 the colt won the Grade 2 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes and at 3 he took the Grade 3 West Virginia Derby, a $600,000 race. The stallion’s son Suni won a listed event in Japan, and his daughter Glamorous Gal earned black type in the Tippett Stakes at Colonial Downs.
