With several well-touted types and an experienced rival in Scorn (Seeking the Gold) to take on in this division won 12 months ago by the subsequent G1 Epsom Oaks heroine Sariska (GB) (Pivotal {GB}), Field Day was let go at 14-1 on her racecourse bow. Belying those odds by traveling easily throughout on the heels...
Revered hails from the immediate family of the Juddmonte standard-bearers Dansili (GB), Banks Hill (GB), Intercontinental (GB) et al and her dam has already produced the top-class pair Visit (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) and Promising Lead (GB) (Danehill). Her debut third over seven furlongs at Salisbury Oct. 12 was an encouraging start and the homebred...
They must have been singing her praises on the backstretch. Warbling was 3-1 on the morning line, but 3-5 at post time, and she lived up to her odds. Content to track the pace from fourth after an alert start, the grey took command at the top of the lane and pulled away under a...
Aidan O'Brien has dominated this maiden in recent times and saddled subsequent G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud and G1 Irish Derby winner Fame and Glory (GB) (Montjeu {Ire}) to win the trainer's fifth straight renewal last year.

Crisis of Spirit was produced by an unraced daughter of Mike Pegram's superb champion Silverbulletday (Silver Deputy).

Fighting Brave, the $2-million topper at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Selected Yearling Sale last year, raced under a keen hold along the rail in a close eighth through the early stages of this first go.

Workforce enjoyed crowd confidence and dominated the closing stages of this opening show to earn 25-1 quotes for next year's G1 2000 Guineas and G1 Epsom Derby.

Mubtassim finished runner-up to “TDN Rising Star” Lope de Vega (Ire) (Shamardal) in a newcomers' event at Deauville Aug. 26, and he paid that former rival a handsome compliment with a bristling performance in this second go.

Lope de Vega was the comfortable winner of an Aug. 26 newcomers' event at Deauville and enjoyed crowd confidence for this second go.

Coordinated Cut's reputation preceded him here and heavy support saw the flashy blaze-faced bay start at a prohibitive 10-11, despite having experienced rivals in opposition. Settled in sixth early trapped wide, the 325,000gns TATOCT yearling was nudged along by Kieren Fallon at halfway and after being steadily wound up for his challenge, rolled to the...
Lovely Lil was let go at 5-1 in her debut, but looked like a 1-5 shot at the wire. Quickly into stride, the May foal pressed the pace from second. She was in hand as she went to the front on the far turn and, responding to a vigorous Alan Garcia hand ride, powered away...
