54 for Acclamation

Gr2 Prix Robert Papin (1200m) at Chantilly winner Ventura Tormenta is SW54 for Acclamation.

Ventura Tormenta made much of the running then held off The Lir Jet (Prince Of Lir) to score by a short-head with Tiger Tanaka (Clodovil) a neck away third in a driving finish to the four horse field.

It is the second win from four starts for Ventura Tormenta, sold for 40,000gns as a Tattersalls December foal then £95,000 as a Goffs UK Premier yearling when purchased by Petter and Ross Doyle.

Ventura Tormenta is the best of seven winners so far for his dam Midnight Oasis (Oasis Dream), a three-quarter sister to Irish Listed winner Minalisa and Midnight Hush, the dam of UK Listed winner Mubtasimah (Dark Angel).

Midnight Oasis is also a half-sister to Gr3 Ballyogan Stakes at The Curragh winner Miss Anabaa (Anabaa), the granddam of UK Listed winner Enjazaat (Acclamation).

The granddam Midnight Shift (Night Shift) is a winning half-sister to Gr1 winner Owington.

Gr2 winner Acclamation (Royal Applause) has Gr2 winner Lilbourne Lad out of a mare by Green Desert and his son Dark Angel has Gr3 winners Yafta and Dark Lady out of mares by Oasis Dream (Green Desert).

Acclamation is advertised at €35,000 at Rathbarry Stud in Ireland in 2020.
