Call Me Handsome Picture: Racing and Sports

Classy 5YO gelding Call Me Handsome (Kodiac x Call Later by Gone West) became the 45th stakes winner for the son of Danehill and at the same time his first black type winner in Australia when he won the Listed Heatherlie Stakes.

Kodiac, standing at Ireland's Tally-Ho Stud, followed with a G1 win by his Melbourne Cup bound son Best Solurtion in Germany.

Best Solution (Kodiac x Al Andalyya by Kingmambo) backed up from his win in last month’s G1 Grosser Preis von Berlin with a game victory in Sunday’s G1 Grosser Preis von Baden.

Trainer Saeed bin Suroor said the plan for Best Solution is to now go to Australia for the Caulfield Cup and Melbourne Cup.

Best Solution’s dam Al Andalyya is a half sister to the Listed winner Kosmiche (Fastnet Rock), G2 Prix winner Cape Clear Island (Fastnet Rock) and stakes placed Squire Osbaldeston (Mr. Greeley).

His granddam is the G3 placed Kushnarenkovo (Sadler’s Wells), a daughter of European highweight Eva Luna (Alleged) and half sister to G1 winner and sire Brian Boru (Sadler’s Wells).

Kushnarenkovo is also a sister to the unraced dam of champion classic winner and sire Workforce (King’s Best).

Favourite Call Me Handsome, a former winner in Hong Kong, made it six wins in 15 starts and his maiden stakes win with an almost allthe-way win here. He was second into stride but immediately jockey Craig Williams allowed him to stroll to the front, where he remained, by a half ength down the side. At the 600m he was caught but never relinquished the lead, holding the rail into the straight. Upon straightening Williams urged him to quicken and they put a length on them, drove two lengths clear inside the 200m where the damage was done with Williams able to put the whip away and still have a length to spare at the line. Mr Garcia lay fourth, two out down the side, challenged four wide into the straight and kept on strongly but could not bridge the gap. Sin To Win tracked Mr Garcia three wide into the straight, was blocked at the 200m then drove hard over the final 50m to nab a good third. There was a good line up for fourth with Vengeur Masque barely holding on after being handy enough.
