Group 3 winner Remarquee (GB) (Kingman {GB}) has been purchased privately by the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. She has been entered in his Wathnan Racing colours for Newmarket's G1 Falmouth S. later this month.
Owned through her first four starts by Julian Richmond-Watson, the 3-year-old daughter of listed winner and dual Group 3-placed Regardez (GB) (Champs Elysees {GB}) won her first racecourse appearance at Salisbury at two and the G3 Fred Darling S. at Newbury this spring. Unplaced in the G1 1000 Guineas, the Lawn Stud-bred rebounded to run second in the G1 Coronation S., just a length behind Tahiyra (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}) at Royal Ascot.
Earlier Wathnan purchases include G3 Greenham S. winner and G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains second Isaac Shelby (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), as well as Royal Ascot winners Gregory (GB) (Golden Horn {GB})–who won the G2 Queen's Vase–and G1 Gold Cup hero Courage Mon Ami (GB) (Frankel {GB}).
