Thanks Lester, it’s terrible that there’s been no word from connections, with two days racing at Deauville this weekend.
They have gone down in my estimation even further after how they treated Rouget. |

Behrayna Done For The Year After Setback; Retirement Possible Saturday, August 8, 2026 at 3:04 pm | Back to: Europe, Shared News Europe Updated: August 8, 2026 at 3:08 pm Unbeaten in four starts, the multiple group winner Behrayna (Sea The Moon) has sustained a setback and is likely to be retired, Jour de Galop reported on Saturday. The Aga Khan Studs-bred filly won at ParisLongchamp at first asking in April, before adding the Listed Prix de la Seine and G3 Prix de Royaumont, both in May. In her latest start, she was victorious in the G2 Prix de Malleret for Francis-Henri Graffard. Nemone Routh, racing manager for the Aga Khan Studs, told the publication, “She encountered a problem after her last race, and it is certain she will not race again this year. We are even seriously considering ending her career. “It is a shame, because we know she possesses great quality and could have been a Group 1 filly. At home, she works with very good horses, but her confirmation is not exactly straightforward. She is a big filly–with plenty of height and substance–and she is also very game.†Out of the placed mare Behnasa (Dansili), Behrayna is a half-sister to the stakes-placed Kitten's Joy gelding Behtar, as well as Waldgeist's Listed Prix Madame Jean Couturie third Benamira. Behnasa, a half-sister to G1 Grand Prix de Paris hero and sire Behkabad, was sold in foal to Vadeni to Atlas Bloodstock for €45,000 during the 2024 Arqana Vente d'Elevage. “I think the effort required during her last run, on fast ground, may have taken its toll given her physique. The Princess [Zahra] is, first and foremost, a breeder. The filly's dam has been sold, and we have only one sister left from this family, so there is no question of taking any risks with Behrayna. “She is lovely, very honest, and we know the quality she possesses. It is therefore quite likely that we will not see her race again.†|

â€At home, she works with very good horsesâ€
Remember I’d told you that she worked with Calandagan? They knew what they had and she too is too valuable like Zayida to race again, they are a farm. |

Thanks again LL for confirming what I’d feared at least it wasn’t fatal.

Such a shame. Happy retirement Behrayna!
I think Princess Zahra may not be too pleased with her trainer F Graffard. If it's true the horse's exertion on firm going last time has done the damage, it's twice now F Graffard has made the wrong decision to run a very good horse and another with huge potential on unsuitable ground. Back to the drawing board for me. Maybe a selection post the ARC trials next month. |

Just seen Nemone Routh the AGA racing manager saying , “We knew she was a Group 1 filly because of what she’d shown us in the mornings…â€
( When she worked with Calandagan) Barza was maybe over confident last time Impossible. |

Home work is often misleading

It may not be a direct coloration to what’s seen on the treacle, but he uses it as a guide with his younger horses, the work that Daryz did with him encouraged them to go for the Arc last year.
|
|
By:
Coloration tends to change as horses get older, particularly greys. Surprising that a self proclaimed artist would not know the difference between coloration and correlation? Mind you one that adds plagiarism to his palette is always going to be suspect?

I’m not here for petty squabbles with those who have no option but one about me.
notes Nemone Routh, director of the Aga Khan Studs. Mickaël (Barzalona) told us that as soon as he asked her, she had really accelerated, and that when she found her rhythm, she wouldn’t stop. She is very pleasant, goes into all terrains and has a lot of class," concluded our interlocutor about the one who had recently worked with Calandagan and Daryzan. Think that the work might have influenced them to run a once raced colt Ina Group 1 on his second start?  By the way I’m know for my unique use of colour. |

Varindar is entered for the Chaudenay 1m 7f on Arc Weekend, he too worked with her and Calandagan I’d say they know what they have and as certain bookies had kept her onside and knew of the setback before others they obviously knew too.
£40 @ 44 for Daryzan, He came from 65 after her setback. |

Tbf you do better than Impossible with English as your second language.

People that get hung up on mistypes aren't my kind.
Put up an opinion on the race or please vacate and go elsewhere to get yourself a boner. |

People that get hung up on mistypes aren’t my kind, if you’ve no opinion on the race go elsewhere to get your excitement.

I don't rely on cut and paste bull to form an opinion Delashay, my opinion will be before the race unlike you. Btw maybe you need a new keyboard that can spell analyst or differentiate between "Could have" and "Could of" etc, mistypes? lol

Balding said that if Kalpana has come out of her big run in the George she will run in the Yorkshie Oaks and then head to the Arc and then onto Ascot.
|
|
By:
I don’t like that plan Brandy, could be one race too many.
|
|
By:
It is only a plan
|
|
By:
They had mentioned the Vermille also, taking in the Yorkshire Oaks would make me lay off if I’d backed her.
|
|
By:
But,have you actually done so,Delbert?
|
|
By:
Did the same more or less last season,September Stks instead of The Yorkshire Oaks.
|
|
By:
She’s not on my radar as said to Angela R for reasons stated.
|
|
By:
Fine
|
|
By:
She’s the only one that’s admitted to backing her, the rest keep stum, she got 20/1 which is fair enough @ 8/1 no thanks.
There’s a few questions to be asked, who will AOB send? Who would people think would be more suited to running or likely to run, River or Necklace? |
|
By:
I would have preferred Kalpana to go straight to the Arc.
But the York race still gives her time. I can't see Coolmore running Constitution myself. It has not been the way they do things with their 3 year old colts for a while now. Hoping they run Diamond Necklace and I think she will more likely of the two. But the Opera is also an option. |
|
By:
There could be a change in their thinking this year if Constitution River wins the International, if he did and then won the Arc it would be straight to stud duties as a son of Wootton Bassett would be a bloodline they will covet. The most obvious though would be Diamond Necklace getting all the allowances.

Cheers Brandy agree with the things that you’ve said there.
There’s more races that you take in the less likely a target it seems, take Estrange they have pulled out of the Yorkshire Oaks because they have their G1 and want to target Longchamp this year. I don’t like when connections want to go pot hunting along the way. What bothers me, is Gialvetto beat Kaplana twice, once at Kempton, then at her track this year. Yet she’s said to have improved. I asked on the KG thread if anyone wondered if Botti would have regretted not taking in that race? The trouble is we know how good he is through Sosie and his runs in the Arc and Hong Kong last year. Kaplana is an admirable mate but her one unplaced run came at Longchamp last year. |
|
By:
Agree to with all of that.
River has been given a new rating one which I find hard to believe, Necklace hasn’t had hers updated since Goodwood, so that’ll be interesting to see how they compare. River now already has a rating that would place him in an Arc. |

It’s been a day of updates about retired horses.
The racing manager also took the opportunity to give the latest news about Behrayna, who will no longer be seen in competition, and Dolmalan. “My assistants declared her as being at the end of her career in France at the France Galop site. She will not appeal; she is too valuable. She is a filly who is physically important and also very generous, so you shouldn’t take too many risks. We are still convinced that she is a group I filly, but we have already sold her mother, Behnasa, so we can’t take the slightest risk... Finally, Dolmalan has left Mikel Delzangles' stable because we sold him. He will continue his career in Hong Kong.†So Team Aga are putting all their eggs into the Daryz basket for the Arc, unless they try and run Daryzan who has less experience than Daryz had in entering last years race. |

In the middle of August, as tradition dictates, the Deauville meeting is currently in full swing. But at Chantilly, the activity was just as intense on the slopes on Tuesday morning. Indeed, the winner of the last edition of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (Gr.I), Daryz, who remains on a third place in the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes (Gr.I), has made an impression on "the Eagles", as explained by Nemone Routh, who manages the interests of the Aga Khan Studs. “He did a good work on the grass. We are gently preparing his goal, which is the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. Before that, he will start in the Prix Foy (Gr.II).

As 8-1 joint-second favourite for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, Diamond Necklace is set to take in the Group 1 Prix Jean Romanet, an established Arc trial over a mile and a quarter at Deauville on August 23.

Yes he’d hinted at that after her last run, looked at the enteries not a lot there to tell us more. It’s not like she’s doing anything that she hasn’t done by wining that.
Today sees the 1:33 G2 D’Orno and rematch between Jockey Club 3rd and 7th Montreal & Daryzan. Later (4:00) sees the unquoted QualityCar take on Leffard, Map Of Stars etc… Graffard had this to say about his Even money colt today. A few minutes later, it will be Daryzan’s turn to enter the race in the Prix Guillaume d'Ornano (Gr. II). This protégé of the Aga Khan Studs, who finished seventh in the Prix du Jockey Club (Gr. I) During his penultimate outing, he quickly bounced back by winning a race with strings on the turf of Chantilly recently. “Lately, I’ve wanted to start from scratch with him. Initially, I had planned to race the Listed on Sunday (the Prix Nureyev, editor’s note), but it really took off. The colt is very good and I hope he can take his revenge on Montreal, who had dominated him in the Jockey Club.†If they have back door Arc aspirations he needs to win today. He was due to take in a listed tomorrow so it’s interesting with his comment about his well being that he’s opted for tougher but more lucrative race today. |
