Dancing Rain is in foal to Frankel and sparked a bidding war One of two winners produced by Lord Weinstock’s one mile two furlong winner Spartan Girl (Ela-Mana-Mou), My Tent Or Yours is a full brother to Alan Swinbank’s three-time winner Northside Prince (Desert Prince) and is from the strong Ballymacoll middle-distance family that has produced the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner Conduit (Dalakhani) and Group One Mackinnon Stakes winner Glass Harmonium (Verglas), as well as Classic winners Spectrum (Rainbow Quest) and Petrushka (Unfuwain). McManus purchased the gelding privately but prior to that My Tent Or Yours had been through the sales ring twice, first when Tiger Bloodstock paid just €2,000 for him at the Goffs November Foal Sale in 2007 and on his return to the ring in 2010 Highflyer Bloodstock paid £12,000 to secure the then three year-old at the DBS Spring Stores Sale. With Saturday’s Newcastle victory being his first at Grade One level following a narrow defeat to Champagne Fever in last season’s Supreme Novices’ Hurdle, My Tent Or Yours is the star jumps performer by Desert Prince, the Scuderia Andy Capp resident, though the Italian stallion has been responsible for Group One Flat victors Kusi, Mail The Desert and Outback Prince. Henderson’s big race double was completed with Triolo D’Alene (Epalo) claiming Newbury’s jumps highlight, the Grade Three Hennessy Gold Cup under Barry Geraghty, bringing his deceased German sire Epalo a fourth black-type victory, following wins by Usuelo in the Group Two Prix de Barbeville, Ambroise in the Grade Three Prix Bournosienne Hurdle and the Hennessy hero’s own Grade Three Topham Chase success. Bred by Louis Couteaudier out of the unraced French mare Joliette D’Alene (Garde Royale), Triolo D’Alene is a half-brother to two other winners in the four-time French Jumps winner Ocarina D’Alene (Sleeping Car) and the one-time French Flat winner Rubis D’Alene (Ragmar) and further back it is the family of the 1995 Racing Post Chase winner Val D’Alene (Quart De Vin). ”Triolo D’Alene is a half-brother to two other winners in the four-time French Jumps winner Ocarina D’Alene (Sleeping Car) and the one-time French Flat winner Rubis D’Alene (Ragmar) and further back it is the family of the 1995 Racing Post Chase winner Val D’Alene.” The night before Triolo D’Alene’s Hennessy victory, another French-bred stole the show at the DBS Hennessy Sale when the Grade One placed hurdler and second highest rated four year-old hurdler in France, Un Temps Pour Tout (Robin Des Champs) became the second highest priced National Hunt horse ever when selling to David Pipe for £450,000.
