+GLORIOUS JOURNEY (GB) (c, 2, Dubawi {Ire}–Fallen For You {GB} {Hwt. 3yo Filly-Eng at 7-9.5f & G1SW-Eng, $286,833}, by Dansili {GB}), raced under a firm hold in third through the initial fractions of this first go. Nudged along approaching the quarter-mile marker, the even-money chalk came under sterner urging at the foot of the hill and was ridden out inside the final furlong to prevail by a neck from Grand Koonta (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}). The 2,600,000gns joint-highest priced yearling at last year's Tattersalls October Book 1 sale is the first scorer produced by G1 Coronation S.-winning British highweight Fallen For You (GB) (Dansili {GB}) and is kin to a yearling colt by Frankel (GB) and a colt foal by Dubawi (Ire). His second dam, MGSP Listed Silver Trophy victress Fallen Star (GB) (Brief Truce), is a half-sister to G1 Lockinge S.-winning sire Fly to the Stars (GB) (Bluebird) and to the dam of G2 German 2000 Guineas winner Peace At Last (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $5,769. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
