Hartnell Rises To New Heights

3 minute read

Godolphin's best import Hartnell assured himself of a special place in Australian racing history with his record breaking win in the $2 million Epsom Handicap at Randwick.

Hartnell wins the Epsom Handicap Picture: Racing and Sports

The British import has now won four Group One races in Australia but to win the Epsom under the topweight of 57kg in course record time will count as his most notable.

The versatile seven-year-old gelding has won his G1 races over distances from 1400m to 2400m and has also been placed in the Melbourne Cup over 3200m, making him the most accomplished import to race in this country.

His winning time for the 1600m in the Epsom was 1:32.73, breaking the Randwick mile record that had stood since 2004.

Bred in the UK by Darley, Hartnell (Authorized x Debonnaire by Anabaa) has now won 13 of his 44 starts with 15 placings for earnings of $5,160,250.

He was originally purchased at Book 2 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale for 45,000 guineas by Mark Johnston Racing before he was acquired by Godolphin and sent to Australia.

Hartnell’s dam Debonnaire (Anabaa) also produced the Listed winner and G1 placed Roz (Teofilo), a half-sister to two stakes-placed runners.

His second dam Ultra Finesse (Rahy is a G2-placed half-sister to Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe winner Suave Dancer (Green Dancer).

Debonnaire has a yearling filly by Tapit and a filly foal by Medaglia D’Oro while a Frankel half-brother to Hartnell was purchased by Narvick International for 500,000 guineas at last year’s Tattersalls October Yearling Sale.

Form Preview

Godolphin's Hartnell showed his quality in scoring here in this Group 1 handicap under his 57kg top weight and is now the winner of four at Group 1 level from 1400m to 2400m. He settled in eighth place before tracking up nicely coming to the home turn. Hugh Bowman brought him with a well-timed run from the 200m and he responded to score a narrow but strong win on the post. D'Argento had a good trip in seventh place on the rails from his inside barrier (1), looked the winner when he took the lead at the 200m, only to be caught on the post for (half head) second. Unforgotten raced back in 12th place, improved (between runners) from the 300m and kept running on well for a good third, perhaps finding the 1600m trip a shade short of her preferred distances. Shillelagh raced back in 15th place and ran on in very good style for (1.2 lengths) fourth at her second run back. Muraaqeb was handy all the way and did well in this class in fighting on for (1.6 lengths) fifth while Arbeitsam was a fast pace, only tiring from the 200m for (1.9 lengths) sixth in a very good effort.
