ACT ONE off the mark

ACT ONE, winner of the Gr.1 Criterium International at two and Prix Lupin at three, sired his first winner from his first crop yesterday when the Italian foaled HELL IN A CELL won over 6 furlongs in Florence. HELL IN A CELL just headed Uva Rara in the last strides to become the first winner for his sire from only 2 runners. His breeder Giuseppe Rosati Colarieti bought his dam, the unraced Amazing Krisken (Kris S) for just 32,000 guineas at Tattersalls December Sale in 2003. Her dam, Magic Gleam (Danzig) won the Gr.2 Child Stakes and finished second in the Gr.1 Coronation Stakes and Prix Jacques le Marois. Her best foal to date is Truckle Feature (Saint Ballado), third in the Gr.1 Futurity Stakes.
