New stakes winner from the Jakkalberry family.

The Stefano Botti-trained Sweet Gentle Kiss (2 f Henrythenavigator -ex Cronsa by Martino Alonso) took out the Premio Coolmore (Listed, 1500m) at San Siro Milano Italy yesterday.

The filly drew clear under Cristian Demuro for a two and three quarter length success over Dancer Cross (Cape Cross), with Temple Church (Intikhab) just a head further behind in third.

The win took the filly to four wins and a third placing from six starts.

Sweet Gentle Kiss shares the same third dam as Jakkalberry being the stakes winning Oaks placed Crodas by Shirley Heights.

Sweet Gentle Kiss is the second foal for her multiple stakes and Group placed dam Cronsa. The first foal is the stakes placed multiple winning 3yo Sunset Key.

Marco Botti - One of Britain's leading trainers

Says of Jakkalberry :

"Intelligent, excellent temperament, handsomely athletic with good physical conformation, speed to go."
"Courage, class and stamina are the attributes that saw Jakkalberry a Champion in, Italy (2010 and 2011) and Great Britain (2012)."
"A real pleasure to train and should Jakkalberry's foals inherit his qualities, then I can see him being a Champion at stud too."

Says of Sweynesse :

"These three colts are the best colts this year and there is probably a half-length
between them. It is fantastic."

Hugh Bowman - Jockey

Says of Sweynesse :

"I was really pleased with First Seal but full credit to Sweynesse, I thought I had the race in my keeping. My filly wasn’t dying on her run but the colt picked me up and put me away."
