Classically-bred Savarin debuts for Andre Fabre at Deauville on Tuesday

Not long after it was announced that Japanese racing had lost its pre-eminent sire in Deep Impact, Andre Fabre will take the wraps off one of his most regally-bred daughters at Deauville.

Tuesday’s Arqana Prix Des Marettes is chock-full of interesting-looking newcomers with several Siyounis and a Medaglia D’Oro representing major owner-breeders.

Fabre’s filly Savarin has the breeding to trump them all as her dam is Sarafina, the winner of the Prix Saint-Alary and French Oaks on only her second and third starts in 2007.

She was third in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe and a Group 1 winner at four before she was purchased by Teruya Yoshida’s Shadai Farm and exported to Japan.

Sarafina has been covered several times already by Deep Impact, who died after complications with his neck only last week. Her first foal, the five-year-old Geniale, ran in the same colours of businessman Masaaki Matsushima as Savarin will and made a good start in Japan before moving to France and winning last year’s Group 3 Prix Messidor.

Her 2015 foal by Victoire Pisa, named Plus, won a couple of times and is still on the scene, while her three-year-old Deep Impact colt, Go Timing, has won twice from five starts in Japan so far.

There is another equally valuable proposition to come off the Juddmonte production line when Arabian Dream appears in the John Drew Memorial Maiden Fillies' Stakes at Newbury.

The daughter of Oasis Dream is the 14th foal from the Zafonic mare Arabesque. This makes her a full-sister to good sprinter-turned-stallion sensation Showcasing, as well as a half-sister to another highly-regarded colt who made it to stud in Camacho.

The lineage also contains useful performers Tendu and Bouvardia, while Arabesque, who has now reached a venerable 22, produced a Frankel filly last year.

William Haggas’ Dabirsim filly Wejdaam, who has a Lowther entry, and Craig Bennett’s Merry Fox Stud homebred Charming Spirit, a sister of the Grade 2 winner Digital Age, are among those forming a stern test.
