Earthlight's Wadi Notches First Winner for Lavinia Fabre at Saint Cloud

Lavinia Fabre, daughter of master trainer Andre Fabre, saddled her first winner, with just her second runner, when the two-year-old Wadi (Earthlight) carried the fledgling trainer's silks to a 1 1/2-length victory in Thursday's Prix Pharel over one mile at Saint-Cloud.

The half-brother to this term's G1 Grosser Dallmayr-Preis hero Tornado Alert (Too Darn Hot) made all in the hands of Maxime Guyon to comfortably outpoint Roi De La Liberte (Kingman).

WADI (GB) (c, 2, Earthlight {Ire}–Bint Almatar, by Kingmambo), who ran third over this trip at Clairefontaine in his Aug. 25 debut for the Andre Fabre stable last time, broke sharply and seized an immediate advantage in this return. In command throughout, the 27-10 second favourite was shaken up passing the quarter-mile marker and kept on strongly under mainly whipless rousting inside the final 300 metres to easily hold Roi De La Liberte (Kingman) by 1 1/2 lengths, becoming the first winner for trainer Lavinia Fabre.
Wadi is the ninth of 11 foals and sixth scorer out of a winning half-sister to five black-type performers headed by three-time Grade I winner Master Of The Seas (Dubawi). His second dam is stakes-winning G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches runner-up Firth Of Lorne (Danehill). The March-foaled bay is a half-brother to G1 Metropolitan Handicap victor Just Fine (Sea The Stars) and this term's G1 Grosser Dallmayr-Preis hero Tornado Alert (Too Darn Hot). He is also kin to a yearling filly by Zoustar, a weanling colt by Sea The Stars and to the dam of Listed King Charles II Stakes runner-up Bold Style (Shamardal).
