I can't find a thread on this stallion but I think he deserves one... I won't be doing a running commentary but he's had both winners of the Italian Guineas today at Capannelle, Rome..
Vero Atleta [from a Danehill Dancer mare], ridden by Dettori and Shavasana [from a Duke of Marmalade mare] ridden by Christian Demuro..
.. perhaps a treble with Royal Scotsman in our 2000 Guineas this Saturday?.. hope so..

A great Guineas winner and very well bred meant he was quite an exciting prospect when he retired to stud at E£60k. I think its fair to say he didn't quite get the results he needed based on the expectations and is now E17.5k. I think he may make a good broodmare sire i the fullness of time. I think RS is up against it this year but you never know.

I agree that Gleneagles has been a little underwhelming at stud to date. I can see him being offloaded to a French or Italian stud in due course, as Coolmore have to make room for more lucrative stallions.

Almost but not quite the treble.. Royal Scotsman 3rd in the Guineas.. I think that's a good result for Gleneagles too..
A good run in what looked a tough race.. |

Italian 1000 Guineas winner Shavasana, by Gleneagles, wins the gr. 2 Italian Oaks today in Milan, by half a length... Hollie Doyle rode it..
Shavasana completes the double and clearly the best filly in Italy this season.. just.. the filly she beat was German trained and unbeaten in 2 starts by Saxon Warrior.. |

Quite astonishing that the racing press make no mention of Hollie Doyle's fantastic front running ride on Shavasana yesterday... if it was an Aidan O'Brien trained filly, they would be all over it like a rash..

Yesterday, 27th Jan '24, at Cagnes sur Mer, a Polytrack race for 3yo unraced colts over 10f, and now called the Prix Ace Impact, was won by Arrow Eagle, a Gleneagles colt out of Absolutly Me.
Absolutly Me is the dam of Ace Impact, who won the very same race last year when known as the Prix du Suquet. From the same stable too, JC Rouget ridden by C Demuro. One to watch perhaps, although the overall form of these races isn't usually very good. In Ace Impact's race last year, nothing he beat came out of it and won. It was actually a very poor maiden, apart from him. |
