No stopping him! Two new juvenile stakes winners in one day for Kingman

Sophomore sire sensation Kingman continues to endear himself to breeders, with two members of his second crop of two-year-olds becoming stakes winners on Saturday.

The first leg of the Banstead Manor Stud sire's double was notched by Boomer in the Group 3 Prestige Stakes at Goodwood.

The Tom Dascombe-trained filly, an impressive Newbury maiden winner last time out, ran a little free in the early stages of the seven-furlong contest but made smooth headway to take up the running a furlong from home.

Boomer wins the Prestige Stakes

Alligator Alley lands the Roses Stakes

She was pushed out under a hands and heels ride by Richard Kingscote to record a neck victory over Dark Lady, a previously Group 3-placed daughter of Dark Angel bred and owned by Cheveley Park Stud.

Boomer is bred and raced by Betfair founder Andrew Black's Chasemore Farm. She is the second foal out of Wall Of Sound, who represented the same connections to win two ten-furlong handicaps and to finish second in the Listed Warwickshire Oaks and third in the Grade 2 Goldikova Stakes at Santa Anita.

Wall Of Sound – whose first foal, the Elusive Quality three-year-old filly Flighty Almighty won a Wolverhampton novice stakes in April – is a Singspiel half-sister to Eve Johnson Houghton's former flagbearer The Cheka, winner of the John of Gaunt Stakes and runner-up to Mayson in the July Cup.

Further back it is the fruitful Juddmonte family of Elmaamul, Reams Of Verse, Prohibit, Midday and the great Zafonic.

Boomer gives her Sea The Stars half-brother, bound for Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale in the coming weeks, a very welcome pedigree update.

Their dam Wall Of Sound was covered by Postponed last year.

Kingman's second juvenile stakes winner on Saturday was Alligator Alley, who found only Liberty Beach too good in the Molecomb Stakes at Glorious Goodwood but went one better with a smooth length win over another Dascombe-trained filly in Dr Simpson (by Dandy Man) in the Listed Roses Stakes at York.

Alligator Alley, trained by Joseph O'Brien for a partnership that includes members of the Smith, Magnier and Shanahan families along with Justin Carthy, was bred by Whatton Manor Stud and bought by Sackville Donald for 100,000gns at Tattersalls October Book 2 last year.

He is the fifth foal out of the Cape Cross mare Overturned, a nine-furlong winner at Compiegne for Eoghan O'Neill and Whatton Manor's Peter Player. She is also the dam of Macau stakes winner Chinese Art.

Overturned is out of the St Simon Stakes winner Upend, making her a sister to Falmouth and Sun Chariot Stakes third Musicanna and a half-sister to Shortfall, the Listed-placed dam of Arkle Chase winner Contraband.

Upend is also ancestress of 'Budapest Bullet' Overdose and this season's Duchess of Cambridge Stakes and Queen Mary Stakes winner Raffle Prize.

As is the case with Boomer, Alligator Alley gives his sibling a notable pre-sale boost as his Showcasing half-brother is set to form part of the Whatton Manor Stud draft at Book 2 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale this autumn.

Overturned has no foal but was covered by Pivotal this year.

Kingman's tally of second-crop stakes winners now stands at three, with Summer Romance having taken the Listed Empress Fillies' Stakes for Godolphin in June.

More black-type horses look set to emerge from that generation, with Hamdan Al Maktoum's homebred filly Khayzaraan winning a Deauville maiden by no less than nine lengths on Friday, and the colts Cormorant and Sinawann having opened their account for Aidan O'Brien and Michael Halford this month.

With Kingman's highflying debut crop of three-year-olds – including the likes of Persian King, Calyx, Headman, King Of Comedy and Sangarius – also taken into account, the son of Invincible Spirit has now sired 16 stakes winners in total.

Number 16 came late on a sizzling Saturday for the sire when Raakib Alhawa took the Listed August Stakes at Windsor.

With his third-crop yearlings having sold for an average of around £375,000 so far this year, he looks booked for a big covering fee increase in 2020 from his current mark of £75,000.
